SH Virtu, Brimscombe (2026)

With over 15 years experience, from luxury skin care & makeup to ethical yoga wear, financial services, and baking, I began working as a virtual assistant in 2022. As a creative thinker, I thrive on generating fresh ideas and providing innovative solutions to promote your business differently. Simultaneously, I have a passion for systems and processes, allowing me to streamline your operations eff

ectively. So whether it's finding a way to share your knowledge & experience online, designing a poster for an event or migrating hundreds of clients between CRM platforms and organising your email inbox, I am the perfect person to ease some of the pressure you're putting on yourself to "do it all." Let me take on some of those tasks you find most challenging or time consuming, or that you just can't stand doing, so you can spend more time on whatever it is you love to do.

A little late to the "I'm home!" post, but here we are... ☀️

I spent a magical week out in Morocco supporting Tash and Karen on their retreat, and I have spent the last seven days slowly landing back into reality!

From helping run things smoothly behind the scenes to snapping quiet moments in the sun, it was the absolute best reminder of why I love supporting female founders in the wellness space.

I took a complete pause from posting while I unpacked, caught up on family life, and grounded myself back home, which felt so needed. Now I am back at my desk, and ready to share a few of the gorgeous visuals we captured while we were away.

I am officially away from my desk now, returning on Thursday 23rd July.

First, I am making a quick Scottish detour for a spa day in Edinburgh to celebrate my step-mum's birthday! I will do one final check of my emails on Tuesday 14th July, before flying to Morocco on Wednesday.

Once I arrive, I will be supporting my lovely clients, Tash and Karen, with their upcoming yoga retreat and I will have very limited access to my emails and WhatsApp from Wednesday onwards.

If you get in touch while I am away, please do not worry if you do not hear back straight away. I will dive into my inbox and reply to everyone as soon as I return on the 23rd July.

To those of you navigating the upcoming school holidays with little ones, I know the juggle is about to get very real! If you need an extra pair of hands to keep your business ticking over while you focus on family time this summer, let's chat when I return.

Because Anette Schive is based in Norway and I am in the UK, meeting up in person isn't often an option. So for over a year now, virtual co-working has become our go-to way to stay connected and keep each other accountable.

If you want to set one up with a friend or colleague, here is exactly how we structure ours:

🔹 The Tech: Keep it simple. We just jump onto a Google Meet or a Zoom call if you have got pro for unlimited meeting length.

🔹 The Catch Up: We spend the first 10 to 15 minutes having a quick chat, catching up on life, and saying hello.

🔹 The Commitment: We explicitly state what we are each going to be working on during the session. Declaring it out loud keeps you accountable!

🔹The Work: We generally leave the mic on so we can share ideas or ask for the other's input, but you could mute your mic if you both prefer not to be disturbed. Maybe set a timer to talk about how you got on and close the meeting if you do this. Then we just get to work with our cameras left on.

If you are a solo business owner juggling a hectic schedule, I highly recommend teaming up with a colleague or friend for some virtual body doubling. Try booking a regular weekly or monthly session where you both show up online and commit to clearing those annoying operational tasks you have both been putting off.

We really aren't meant to do everything entirely on our own.

And for the ongoing tasks that a casual co-working session with a friend cannot solve, that is exactly why I built SH Virtu. I look after the systems, the tech, and the creative tasks so you can step away and focus entirely on what you love most.

Off-Campus confession time. I know, I know, I'm a bit late to the party, but I am completely obsessed.

I have just started watching 'Off Campus' and it is giving me ultimate nostalgic '10 Things I Hate About You' energy. It has that total late 90s and 00s rom com, comfort-watch feel. Even the soundtrack is absolutely spot on.

But here is the best part, and why I am loving it so much. It takes all those classic, cheesy tropes we grew up with, but it completely flips the script for the modern world.

Instead of the usual toxicity, it actually champions female agency and genuine consent. The masculinity is refreshing and non-toxic, the characters actually communicate, and it handles really heavy, difficult subjects like trauma and abuse with so much sensitivity. It is everything I loved about old-school rom-coms (I'm not ashamed to admit it), just updated with the emotional intelligence we actually want to see on screen today.

(Plus, let's be entirely honest, the cast is absolute eye candy, which definitely helps. Garret is giving major Heath Ledger, Patrick Verona vibes and I am 100% here for it.)

Consider this my official recommendation if you need something brilliant to unwind with this week.

Has anyone else watched it yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments, but please keep it spoiler-free!

Tash and I went to see Hang Massive this weekend, and the music was just incredible. But looking back on the night, my favourite part of the whole experience was actually the decision we made before the music even started.

We decided not to rush! I picked Tash up just after I finished work, and she had literally just walked out of her daughter's sixth birthday party. Anyone who has ever survived a kids' party knows exactly how intense that environment is!

Between my post-work brain and her post-party energy, our nervous systems were running a little high, to say the least. It took us a minute to settle down and decompress!

Instead of sprinting from the car straight into the venue queue, we headed to Bristol early enough to get dinner and a cocktail first. It gave us the perfect, slow, beautiful transition into the evening. It allowed us to actually breathe, catch up, and arrive fully in the moment before heading to Lost Horizon for the show.

When you run your own business, it is incredibly hard to turn the noise off. We are so used to being 'on' the whole time that we sometimes forget how to just be.

I look at a lot of DIY websites, and whilst I am always so impressed by the creativity of female founders, there are a handful of tiny details that always make me want to roll up my sleeves and dive into the backend to fix them!

Website tech can feel incredibly heavy when you just want to focus on your passion, so here are five incredibly easy fixes you can do yourself in under ten minutes:

1. Stop playing hard to get with your location
If your business depends on geography, put your location right in the main header. Don't hide it halfway down your about page. Include something simple like "Bristol Holistic Therapist" or "Yin Yoga in Aberdeen" and let people know they are in the right place straight away.

2. Spoon-feed your visitors
We all have busy brains, and when we visit a website, we don't want to work hard to find information. If your header has a beautiful image but no button, visitors will leave. Tell them what to do. "Book a Session" or "View Packages" works perfectly.

3. The mobile view is the real view
Please check your mobile layout. It is so easy for spacing to go a bit wild on a phone screen, text to overlap, or images to stack strangely. Most people these days will be viewing on mobile, so if that version feels chaotic, your whole business feels a bit chaotic.

4. Please don't make us squint
White text on a pale beige background or a bright sunny sky is a classic design trap. If it is even slightly hard to read, add a subtle dark tint to the image or change the font colour!

5. Avoid the dreaded dead end
When someone scrolls to the absolute bottom of your page, they like what you are saying. Don't just leave them hanging in mid-air. Give them a button to take the next step, whether that is booking a class, getting in touch, or reading your about page, to keep the momentum going.

If your website still feels a bit clunky after trying these, remember you don't have to battle the tech alone.

I live for this stuff!

Drop me a line and let's get your website feeling like the beautiful, supportive tool it is meant to be.
