I learn something amazing from every single guest I have on this podcast… but every now and again I have a guest on the show that blows my mind, and today’s episode is another one of those transformative, mind-shifting, belief-changing ones that make me love doing this podcast and fundamentally shift how I’m doing things in my business.
My guest today is super passionate about training women to be the superheros of their own success.
After finding the courage to say “bye-bye” to her corporate marketing career, Kathy Goughenour built a 6-figure virtual assistant business from her tiny house in the middle of a forest.
Today, she teaches professional women how to create their own work-at-home VA businesses so they can enjoy the freedom, flexibility and financial security they desire and deserve.
Kathy also offers VA Matchmaking sessions to business owners interested in working with Expert VAs® and Virtual Experts®.
Kathy and her Expert VA® and Virtual Expert® Training program have been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Good Housekeeping, All You, and The Wealthy Freelancer.

- Kathy’s journey to become a coach for virtual experts.
- The realization Kathy came to when she felt her career was at a standstill.
