Description

After a short break from the podcast, Debbie returns with a candid behind-the-scenes episode sharing what the past few months have really looked like while building The ROCKET VA™ Academy.

From platform migrations and supporting academy members to spending much-needed time with family and reflecting on burnout, this episode is a reminder that building a business isn’t always about constant visibility - sometimes the most important work happens quietly behind the scenes.

Debbie shares why she intentionally stepped back from social media and the podcast for a few weeks while focusing on supporting her community, moving the academy platform from Kajabi to Go High Level, and developing an exciting new project that will help both Virtual Assistants and clients connect more easily.

Along the way she reflects on returning to London to host a ROCKET VA™ alumni dinner, spending meaningful time with family, celebrating her birthday at home for the first time in years and why returning to Barcelona feels like coming back to the life she intentionally built.

And yes - even reality TV gets a mention (sometimes it’s more productive than you think). Debbie shares why watching shows like The Kardashians can actually teach us something about consistency, brand building and showing up in business.

Because sometimes inspiration comes from unexpected places.
