Too good to be true?
What if the most realistic path to flexible, meaningful work in this season is becoming a Family Virtual Assistant with a clear roadmap, training, and a fast track to being matched with a family?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Brittany Bankhead, a double board certified trauma surgeon and the Founder and CEO of Modern Mom Lab. Brittany shares why virtual assistants are not just for business owners, families need them too, and that insight led her to build a clear training path for women who want work that fits real life.
We talk about the Family Virtual Assistant Institute, the training program Modern Mom Lab created to help moms become family virtual assistants, using skills they likely already possess: communication, scheduling, systems, follow-through, and the kind of “make it all happen” competence that already runs a household. If you are a physician spouse who needs truly flexible work, or you know someone who does, this episode is a must listen.
What we cover
- Why families need virtual assistants too, not just entrepreneurs
- What a family virtual assistant actually does for a household
