A New Chapter for The VA Handbook: A Conversation with Joanne Munro

This episode is a really special one.

Joanne Munro, founder of The VA Handbook, joins me to share some exciting news about the next chapter for the business and community she’s built.

After years of growing The VA Handbook and supporting so many VAs on their journey, Jo has made the decision to step back - and I’m incredibly proud (and honoured) to be taking it forward.

In this conversation, we talk openly about:

Jo’s journey building The VA Handbook and what she’s most proud of.

How she knew it was the right time to move on.

Why finding the right person to take it on mattered so much.

What this transition means for the community.

And what’s coming next.

This isn’t about something ending - it’s about building on everything that’s already been created and taking it into its next phase.

Key takeaways:

Building a strong, supportive community takes time, consistency and care - but the impact it creates is huge.

Knowing when to step back is just as important as knowing when to push forward.

Trust, values and alignment matter when handing over something you’ve built.

Growth often comes from making bold, sometimes uncomfortable decisions.

If you’re part of The VA Handbook community (or have been following along), this episode will give you a real insight into what’s ahead - and why there’s so much to be excited about.
