From Caregiver to CEO: How Systems Saved Carrie’s Sanity
Episode 105
What if the skills you’ve used to care for your family could become the foundation of a business that cares for you?
This week’s guest, Carrie McWherter, is a virtual assistant who turned her natural gift for organization—and a season of caregiving—into a thriving business that helps entrepreneurs reclaim their time (and their sanity).
In our conversation, Carrie shares how she went from caring for her mother-in-law to running a successful VA business that keeps her clients organized, supported, and growing. We dive into the systems that make life and business easier—and the mindset shifts that make it all possible.
Here’s what we talk about:
- How caregiving inspired Carrie’s business journey
- Why strong systems create calm, not chaos
- Simple ways to automate tasks and free up energy
- The confidence that comes from clarity and organization
- How to use your real-life skills to serve others and build income
💡 If every month feels like recreating the wheel, it might be time to create simple SOPs—repeatable checklists that save time, reduce stress, and make delegation easy.
If you’ve been craving a little more breathing room, sometimes it just takes a nudge, a fresh set of eyes, or a new way of looking at what’s already working.
