How Our Virtual Assistants Can Help You Achieve More Life Goals
Helping You Be There for Bedtime, Bucket Lists, and Everything Between
Perhaps somewhere between closing deals and hitting targets, you’ve realised something important has been getting lost, there’s a feeling of something missing.
And lately, my clients have been wonderful and reflective enough to name it.
One of my longest clients recently told me what he actually wants his VA to help with now: his "life objectives."
Not his quarterly goals. Not his business expansion plans. His life objectives.
With kids heading to university in a couple of years and parents getting older, he's made a decision. He's done letting work consume all 100% of his energy in this stage of his life.
He wants more time with the people he loves most. Bucket list trips that actually happen with loved ones who live dotted around the world.
Precious time preserved in his diary for the charities that light him up.
Another client came back to us this year with the most beautiful request: "Please help us create more core memories as a family."
When you've got two high-flying execs in one household with fast moving careers and little ones growing ridiculously fast, I can understand why they had the realisation that if they don't protect this time now and create memories, it'll be gone.
I'm going to share how our team of Lifestyle Virtual assistants have been working to help our clients set and achieve more personal goals this year and how we can help you do the same for you in 2026.
Here's what's actually happening to brilliant, ambitious people right now:
There's nothing wrong with being ambitious and going after great things, but leadership burnout jumped from 52% in 2023 to 56% in 2024*, no wonder you barely have any energy for your own life.
Even more sobering? 19% of entrepreneurs have delayed personal life events**, such as marriage or family plans, due to burnout concerns.
That's heartbreaking when you think about it - all that work and less living well - especially when the cost isn't just professional because **47% of C-Suite execs report that their burnout negatively impacts personal relationships.
But it's something we can change, this is what we do so well at The Lifestyle VA, through our Virtual assistant services.
What If in 2026 You Had Someone to Help You Reach Some Wholesome Life Goals too?
Everyone's about to start setting their 2026 goals. Bigger revenue targets. More clients. New markets. Expansion plans - all that good business stuff, right? I'm sure you've set yourself a few of those goals too?
But what if this year was different and you were able to prioritise your personal life even more?
What if 2026 was about being more present for what's already right in front of you?
I'm not talking about abandoning your ambition or scaling back your dreams.
I'm talking about the wholesome, beautiful, completely doable goals that actually matter when you look back in 20 years - family, friends, relationships, hobbies even.
Take some inspiration from the things that our VAs have been able to help our clients achieve this year;
❤️ A well thought out date night in the schedule every single month that we organise so neither of you have to do a thing, accept turn up and be cute together (read more about how we help couples prioritise their relationship)
🥞 Sunday mornings with your kids that don't involve sneaking off to check emails (because your VA did that on Friday!)
🤓 Actually being present at the school play instead of thinking about the gazillion life admin tasks still to do (your VA handled it all)
🙌🏼 Creating traditions your children will remember (and want to continue with their own kids) because you have time
📆 We'll manage your family calendars so nothing gets forgotten - school events, doctor appointments, that thing your mum asked you to remember three weeks ago.
✈️ We'll plan trips you'll actually look forward to, researching destinations, booking flights and hotels, creating detailed itineraries.
✅ And we'll coordinate family gatherings without you having a breakdown.
Beautifully Organised Life Admin - sorted by us.
Hosting Christmas dinner without the usual meltdown because your VA sorted the meal plans, the shopping, even found you a private chef
We helped you remember birthdays and anniversaries and sourced thoughtful gifts instead of the usual rushed Amazon orders
Having your VA meal plan and order groceries so you have a stocked fridge and a tidy home without sacrificing your entire weekend
We'll handle all those appointments you keep putting off, manage home maintenance and repairs so your weekends aren't spent on hold with plumbers, and take care of returns, renewals, and all those admin tasks eating your brain space.
We keep track of what needs doing so you don't have to hold it all in your head, and we follow up on things that would otherwise slip through the cracks.
The Bucket List That Gets Ticked off
That trip to Japan you've been talking about for five years, we planned it and sent you a detailed itinerary.
We booked you lessons so you can learn to play guitar (or actually touching the one gathering dust in the corner)
A beautiful holiday, with all mobility issues planned for, so you can take your parents on the holiday they deserve while they're still able to travel
Your Wellbeing is Well Taken Care Of
Making it to the gym three times a week instead of zero (we created space and a routine for you)
Cooking proper meals instead of living on Uber Eats and fumes - we'll sort meal plans, recipes, and food shopping.
Having brain space for creative thinking instead of drowning in the mental load of house, home and family - we'll handle the research and logistics for decisions you need to make, and take those 47 tiny tasks off your plate so you can actually think clearly.
Actually sleeping through the night without waking up thinking about your to-do list is priceless.
And if you don't have the time right now? Borrow ours. That's what we're here for.
This is what we do best and nothing warms our hearts more than the pictures we get from clients on those bucket list trips, or just seeing them hug a loved one they haven't seen in so long.
Or the chuckles we get from the husband who says he's ghosted his Uber Eats account because we meal-planned for his family.
Let's Help You Create More Memories ✨
Because your children won't remember whether you were a big deal in your industry.
They'll remember if you were there, if you showed up, if you made the time.
Your relationships matter to both of you and your mental health and we love helping you carve out time for them.
You Deserve it All
As you wind down 2025 and start thinking about what you want the next 12 months to look like, maybe this is your reminder?
What if 2026 was the year you protected your evenings? Created those core memories? Actually ticked things off the bucket list with the people you love most?
We take the life admin, the family logistics, the mental load that steals your brain space and eats into your precious weekends, and we handle it so you don't have to think about it.
Because you weren't built to do it all. You were built to do what you're brilliant at - and to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
If this is landing for you, let's talk.
Drop me a line at mel@thelifestyleva.net and let's have a chat about what your 2026 could actually look like.
Not bigger. Just more wholesome and filled with all the best memories.
The Lifestyle VA supports successful professionals and families to reclaim their time and protect what matters most.
