Booked Out with Bre
Welcome to Booked Out with Bre: the podcast for virtual assistants ready to level up and founders building with team who refuse to choose between audacious ambition and a life they actually love.
I'm your host, Bre Cain, mama of three, unapologetic entrepreneur, and founder of a business built from my kitchen table and 4-year-old's bedroom with big energy and zero apologies.
I'm the founder of ICON & Lightning, a remote team agency that hand matches elite virtual assistants to founder-led businesses ... because the right team isn't an operational decision, it's a leadership identity. I'm also the founder of the VA Leadership Academy, where I've trained nearly 500 virtual assistants in the technical skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership identity it takes to become a truly strategic partner; not just a task doer.
Six years ago, I thought I had to choose. Mom or career. Present or ambitious. I went back to my 9-to-5 after my first baby and lasted three months before I realized my entire definition of success had shifted. So I bet on myself and built a business that now approaches $2M in just three years, scaled in part-time hours, alongside my kids, from home.
Here's what I know for sure: you don't have to choose.
You can have the booming business. The clients you're obsessed with. The school pickups, the slow mornings, the spontaneous yes moments. You can build a team that amplifies your vision instead of adding to your mental load. You can scale without sacrificing the life you built the business to protect.
This podcast is for the virtual assistant who's ready to stop trading hours for dollars and start leading like the strategic asset she already is. It's for the founder who's done doing it all alone and is ready to build a team that actually runs. And it's for every ambitious mama who was told to shrink ... and decided not to.
Expect candid conversations, zero corporate fluff, and the kind of real talk that makes you feel seen and activated.

I have had a lot of changes and pivots from where I started at my corporate career to stay at home mom to direct sales to teaching confidence in motherhood to virtual assistant to now mentoring women that are building a virtual assistant business from the ground up! With each of these things I put my whole heart & soul into and while the planned path I had for myself didn’t work out exactly as I imagined. I now see how it has all aligned to where I am now.
In this episode of the Booked Out with Bre Podcast, I want to give you permission to pivot. Give Yourself grace in embracing the changes in your life. When you are open to change while seeking growth you place yourself into a space for opportunity to come to you. Life is meant to evolve and so are you!

Welcome to the Booked Out with Bre Podcast, I am your host, Bre Cain, and I am so excited to share with you my story of how I got to where I am today. You may see me online sharing how I have grown my 6-figure business in the midst of motherhood, but I want to start with where it all began.
As someone who has tried everything to make money from home so I could be fully present in my girl’s lives, it wasn’t until I discovered and was blown away at the opportunities and potential within the virtual assistant industry. After it changed my life,I booked out my clients & made more than I did at my corporate job, I began telling everyone about it, and then I created a process helping others do this too!
