This Isn’t Your Typical Side Hustle — It’s Your Path To Wildly Authentic Freedom
Picture This
You work 100% remotely (on your own terms, from anywhere).
You say goodbye to the days of long commutes and having to negotiate time off.
You set up a consistent and recurring income for yourself (hello financial independence!).
You achieve a work-life balance that works for YOU.
You join an online business movement (that's forecasted to grow exponentially in the coming years!).
You work in your zone of genius and feel truly fulfilled by the work you are doing.
— these are just SOME of the benefits that come with being a Virtual Assistant!
If you dream of travelling the world full-time, living in an RV or homeschooling your kids, a VA business can make this a reality.
Kickstart Your VA Career With Ease
Maybe you're ready to make some extra money from home (cause ya know, inflation), or perhaps you're ready to ditch the cubicle for good... But fear of the unknown is holding you back — how do you overcome imposter syndrome and make a go at this on your own? How do you start a business? Where do you find clients? You're overwhelmed by it all and simply have NO idea where to start 👀
What If I Told You That You’re More Ready Than You Think?
By leveraging the skills you already have and understanding the EXACT process to find and secure clients, you can create a Virtual Assistant business that supports the lifestyle that you want...
— WITHOUT any virtual experience (or sending cold DMs).
If I can do it, so can you.

Hi, I’m Marissa Rether
I was unexpectedly laid off from my long-term program management position just weeks before my maternity leave ended. No backup plan, no safety net — just me, my newborn and a whole lot of random skills that I never imagined would be the foundation for my next chapter.
I wish I could go back in time and reassure my old self that this turn of events would be one of the best damn things to ever happen to me. Not only did I go on to take my VA business from a part-time side hustle to a full-time lucrative career, but it quickly became the foundation for building the life of my dreams.
Today, I’m helping women build thriving VA businesses; mentoring them to harness their unique skills, passions and experiences to achieve financial freedom and more. Because let’s face it — this isn’t your typical side hustle. It’s your ticket to a life of balance, fulfillment and a little bit of homestead magic.
Aside from tending to client work, I spend my days exploring my 80-acre property in Northern Ontario, raising 2- and 4-legged babies, growing food and creating memories with my family. Let’s just say, as a homebody through-and-through, I’m in my slow and simple living era.
& This Is What I’m Made Of
At the heart of what I do are some core values that reflect who I am:
Authenticity: Did you know I still work as a VA today? Yep! This isn’t some gimmick. My mentorship is grounded in real experience — no fluff, just actionable advice.
Empowerment: You know what makes me feel the most fulfilled? Helping women create a life that’s not just about making money, but about living with purpose, passion and freedom. (Because THAT’S where the magic happens.)
Community: I’m on a mission to build a supportive, like-minded community of women who are striving for the same balance of work, life and passion.
Work With Me 1:1
From a second set of eyes on your business model and service offerings to advice for a particular problem or client, nothing is off limits on my 1:1 mentorship calls.
"Having Marissa's help with mentoring and managing other VAs on my team has been a game changer!"
