Ready Isn’t a Feeling: Taking Imperfect Action with Rachael Davila
Episode 107
So many women say, “I’d love to start, but I’m not quite ready,” or wait until the timing feels perfect. But as I often remind my clients, readiness isn’t a feeling—it’s something you build through action.
This week, I’m chatting with Rachael Davila, founder of Extra Hands Virtual Assistant and author of Hey, Do I Need a VA?. Rachael’s story is a powerful example of what happens when women take that first imperfect step and allow support into their business.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The two (and a half!) types of VAs—and how to know which one you need
- Why “slowing down” can actually be the smartest growth strategy
- Learning to trust your intuition and your own timing
- How to build confidence through doing, not waiting
- The freedom that comes from asking for help before burnout hits
Rachael’s journey beautifully mirrors what I teach: that clarity follows action, and support isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy.
