Ep. 36: Marieke Quinn and MQ Admin Services

Mariekie Quinn returns to West Coast Women Rising (after Episode 31: Mirrors, Misunderstanding & Repair)—and this time, the spotlight is on her and the business she's been quietly building behind the scenes.

Mariekie is the founder of MQ Admin Services, and her work goes way beyond "just admin." She helps entrepreneurs and organizations take chaos, overlap, and scattered systems and turn them into streamlined structure, clear workflows, and more peace day-to-day—so the business can actually support the life.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why podcasts create a deeper, faster sense of connection in a community (and why that matters for networking)

• Mariekie's transition from corporate burnout to entrepreneurship—and what changed during the COVID-era pivot

• The real problems she solves: overspending on tools, double-entry systems, messy workflows, and "signing up for everything"

• How her process works: consultations, brain-dumping the overwhelm, identifying the true goal line, and implementing systems that fit your brain

• The personal side of organization—how your home life and business patterns mirror each other, and why self-care impacts execution

• Her focus moving forward: building the MQ Method (habits + practices that support sustainable growth), expanding visibility, and refining offers with intention

• A powerful reminder for new entrepreneurs: you don't have to go fast, failure is feedback, and "don't decorate your ditch"
