Hey! I’m Esther and if you click below I will message you access into my FREE class so you can get started right away!

let’s connect on Instagram!

I post daily online work help + share our adventures and behind the scenes of a legit online business!

ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ɴᴇᴡ, ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴏꜰᴛᴇɴ ꜰᴇᴀʀ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴇʟꜰ-ᴅᴏᴜʙᴛ.

Feeling like you're incapable or not good enough 😣 happens to the best of us, no matter what "status" level you are. 🤷🏼‍♀️

From small-time VA to big-time influencer, we ALL feel this way. 🤯🤯

And it's normal. 💁🏼‍♀️ But you can’t let them get the best of you. 🙅🏼‍♀️

We call it imposter syndrome 👎🏼 and that sucker can rob you of self-confidence and lead you to sabotage your success.

No thanks! ❌

So, here are 5 ways you can overcome imposter syndrome (swipe left!) Bookmark this for later when you are feeling low! 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

👩‍⚕️ You’ll probably get gestational di

👩‍⚕️ You’ll probably get gestational diabetes, pre clampsia or have high blood pressure

🙅🏾‍♀️ We can’t see you at the birth center due to your BMI you have to be in hospital

🤷🏽 We’ll probably plan to induce you early due to your BMI

🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s ok to lose weight during your pregnancy because ya know, your BMI

🗣 You shouldn’t gain more then 20lbs during your pregnancy (even though all data says the baby + blood + fluid and normal needs are at least 30lbs, so why is it different for someone with a higher BMI? The baby is going to weigh less?)

👆🏽 Needless to say I’m meeting with a new potential midwife this week 🙄 and have had to search for a size inclusive team which is not a position I ever thought I’d be in at 18 weeks (or EVER since this is discrimination).

Luckily I read @lindobacon book years ago “Health at Every Size” and know the truth about the BMI scale and that the bodies you see in the world are not reflective of overall health.

I have naturally thin friends in and out of the doctor for a slew of problems and then there’s others like me in bigger bodies that are vegan, exercise regularly, don’t drink or smoke, etc but we are treated like crap at the doctor.

There’s a lot I can say about the BMI scale but just a snippet is: it was designed around a white European MALE body. The entire chart. Therefore women, women of color, men of color, any other type of body was excluded.

This is why when I go to Latin countries (my Mom is half Puerto Rican) I look like everyone else there. On my recent trip to Belize for example, there’s no McDonalds or a slew of junk food people are eating and it’s hot and they WERK. But almost everyone’s body is like mine. So you’re telling me this entire country, and Africa, and Samoa, etc is morbidly obese?

Nah man, the test was rigged to begin with.

I’m really honored to have Lindo on our podcast this week digging into what finding balance looks like for our physical bodies without the weight stigma attached 💪🏼

Also pumped to read their latest book Radical Belonging this week! Tag me and Lindo in your fav parts on your stories- I can’t wait for you to have the change in perspective too ❤️

I thought about taking a better picture when I don

I thought about taking a better picture when I don’t look so tired, but the tired is part of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Because the seemingly kooky badges I’m holding represent a lot of hard work. Long days. Late nights. Sacrifices.

The road of an entrepreneur whose also a Mom, and spouse of a veteran battling mental health issues isn’t an easy one, but damn was it worth it.

These badges represent
(from left to right)...
😱 Earning 100K on a single product
💰 Earning 100K in a month
😳 Earning $500K in business
💵 Earning 1m in business
🤩 Earning 100K in a single launch

And while these numbers sound super sexy and cool, what’s even cooler is everything else...

🧑🏽‍💻All that money actually translates into helping 4700 men and women work from home as virtual assistants

Being able to pay a team of 12 to keep everything running 👯‍♀️

We learned through this adventure to live below your means so you can empower those around you. So you can work less and spend more time with your family, traveling and hobbies (Also let’s be honest: with dogs 🐕).

And while money is important to fund your lifestyle and help your community, we don’t need the biggest house, fanciest car, bougie private school or yaht.

Because only we get to determine what success looks like 💕

PS this was all accomplished with the help of my amazing team and mentors, a toast to all of us 🥂

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡?

If we're being honest here, work from home life isn't all rainbows 🌈 and butterflies 🦋 all the time. 🙅🏼‍♀️

💁🏼‍♀️ As a virtual assistant, you have the freedom to create your own schedule and work at your most optimal times, ⏰ but for many - their self-care routine and mental health go out the window! 🌬️

We owe ourselves a little TLC. 🥰 Who's with me?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Some things I recommend to help boost morale are:

✒️ Journaling
🧘🏼‍♀️ Moving your body
💻 Changing up your work setting
☀️ Getting outside
🌳 Unplugging
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Hanging out with the family
📞 Calling up an old friend
📖 Reading a good book
🐶😺 Pet your fur babies

✨ It's time to put yourself first! ✨

What are some ways you take care of your mental health? 👇🏼
