What does it really look like to build an OBM business in the middle of a life-changing moment—with no safety net and everything on the line?
In this episode of The OBM Show, I’m joined by Muneeba Brooks, an Accredited OBM and founder of NeuroNest Consulting, who shares her story of rebuilding from the ground up after becoming a single parent overnight. With 20+ years of operations experience and a deep commitment to supporting overwhelmed and neurodivergent clients, Muneeba turned survival into strategy—and created a business that supports her life and her clients’ needs.
🎧 Inside the episode, we cover:
- How she went from part-time VA to strategic OBM—without realizing she was already doing the job
- The moment she decided to stop undercharging and start owning her value
- What it’s like building a business while solo parenting and grieving
- Her systems-focused niche and how she structures her workdays
- The mindset shifts that helped her stop playing small—and claim her seat at the table
“I was already doing executive-level work. I just wasn’t getting paid for it. That had to change.”
Whether you’re a VA who’s outgrown the task list or someone wondering if your lived experience can shape a business that works—Muneeba’s story will show you what’s possible when you trust your skills, speak your value, and start from exactly where you are.
