Yes I am still here unloading groceries. Costco shops are no joke. I share in this episode about my upcoming meeting with my husband. I always find it so helpful learning the inner workings that work in the lives of others and thought I would share one of ours. We meet usually weekly about all of life's bits and pieces - our businesses, children's extra curricular schedules, our finances... all the things. And its honestly something I look forward to each week. Budgeting is not my favourite yet is essential. I look forward to uninterrupted time to talk without 4 small humans interrupting. On this week's agenda is: what is happening with our kids this summer - who is watching them when, why my outside hoses are not working and when they will be fixed, finances and are we buying a new tent for camping this year. Sometimes I find the most mundane things to be where I learn the most. Hope you do too. 

Unload not just any groceries with me, but a Costco-sized haul. Yes the kind that takes an hour to put away. Thats why I recorded an episode while doing it. Multi-tasking for the win. While I unload the car, I share my download with you about why having a goal is critical to building momentum and getting where you want to go. I share about my recent half marathon and that I have not worked out since. What I need in my calendar is a date, a goal a target I am working to achieve so that I can set up the structure and systems to hit that goal. Not only is having a goal necessary but also knowing who you can call to support you with said goal. When you speak your goal to someone the stats are clear - you are 70% more likely to actually do what you want to do. A no brainer right? Oh and find out how I really feel about Rib Fest in this episode while we are at it.

Am I the only one that gets a full body energetic shift when I walk into a craft store?! A Michael's, Hobby Lobby.... I don't discriminate. I just have this overwhelming feeling that I can literally do anything, craft anything, make anything and its hilarious to me that even things I may have previously never been aware can suddenly become my latest obsession. I'm not going to talk about all the craft supplies I have at home. No, that would be silly. I am going to talk about putting yourself in places that make you feel like you can do anything and then asking yourself more often, what makes me feel alive? How can I feel this more often? And no, I don't think going to Michael's everyday is the answer...sadly. 

There's nothing like a softball game to get my brain going. And go it did. In this episode I share the importance of building a circle, a community, a board of directors for your life - whatever you want to call it is ESSENTIAL to success in life and business and really everywhere. The beauty of this life is about connection and relationships and learning and what better way to do that than by building diverse relationships in your life. What if your normal and what comes easy to you, was exciting and fascinating to someone else (spoiler alert it is) and the same is true for others. You can't always see the forest for the trees you know, so what I gift it is to be in rooms with people that show you your own magic. If you don't know where to start building your community, start with a few DMs, drop a text to a friend you haven't connected with in awhile. Just start. 

There is absolutely something you are not doing right now because you are waiting for the perfect time, resources and execution. Listen, as a former perfectionist I get it. I want everything that I put out to the world to be perfect and polished and high quality. And yet if I know anything I know that done is better than perfect and there's a lifetime of projects that people haven't shared with the world because it's not 'perfect'. What a freaking crime that is. In this episode I share why and how I started this very podcast you are listening to, without all the bells and whistles of perfection and just STARTED. I asked myself: How could I make this easier? How could this feel light and fun? How could I get started now? I want you to ask yourself the same questions about what you want to put out in the world then go do the damn thing. And then let me know how it goes!

Brace yourselves. I bet you didn't know a hair brush and leave in conditioner could get me so fired up about entrepreneurship but here we are. I never said these episodes made any sense after all. But I do think this will land for you. There is ABSOLUTELY something you are not doing right now that you say you want to do but can't because you don't have right _______________ (tools, time, clothes, strategy.... you fill in the blank) and I think its absolutely a lie. You CAN do it. It's your fear holding you back, not your lack of whatever you think you're lacking. If you want to be lovingly shouted at to get your shit together and do the thing, this is the episode for that. 

Here I am getting unready again for the day and yet another thought strikes me about all the different and past versions of ourselves. So often we are worried about what everyone else thinks, but let me tell you we are also VERY worried about what the past version of us would think! And she isn't even around anymore, yet we are still worried about it. My hot take is that I want you to be doing things your old self would have judged you for, that you would have thought was cringe. Because hello, that means you've grown. Listen in for what I would have judged myself about not that long ago. 

I know this sounds like I am beauty and wellness influencer from the title but I can assure, nothing is further from the truth. You'll have to listen to prove me right on this one. It's less about washing your face and skincare and more about making the things you don't want to do easier and more accessible. It's one of those sneaky analogies for business and life. Get to know me real well today we I share my ineptitudes and BTS of my beauty regime and YET how I used washing my face as my gateway drug for self care. 

Get a very detailed story about what I am making for lunch - hello veggies and protein... could I be more predictable. In any case, I reflect on the stories that we all tell ourselves about what is possible for us and how those we know the most can have a hard time seeing us as anything more than what we have already been. Which is why opportunities for reinvention should be sought out so that we can grow and change! You don't have to wait for the opportunity, you can create it for yourself. 

Yes you read that correctly, 'A Cottage Cheese Story'. Words I never thought I would say. And yet here we are. I share my journey about my relationship with cottage cheese and how it reminds me frequently about what is possible for myself and how we can overcome self imposed limitations. How many things in life are we keeping away from ourselves because we are pre-determined that they "are not for us" or "we don't like that" or "it's only for others". We tell ourselves incredibly detailed stories about what is for us and not for us and are missing the really key point of "what do I want?" From that place, the possibilities are truly endless. 

Wash dishes with me as I share one of my best hacks for tapping into abundance, inspiration and possibility. Those feelings of lack happen to all of us from time to time and one of my most favourite ways to break out of that is to remember that everything you can see and touch in the outside world once started as an idea, an imaginary, unseeable thought. How magical is that? Dive into abundance and this episode and remember what a powerful creator you are and all the possibility and abundance that is available to you! 

Drive with me! In this episode, I’m talking all about values—why they matter, how they shape our decisions, and how they show up in both life and business.

I dive into the importance of defining your own values, especially when it comes to how you invest and spend your money. I also share why understanding your customers’ values—and knowing when you’re aligned or not—is key to building a business with integrity.

I tell a story from years ago (let’s call it my hair care journey… or lack thereof) and how a conversation with a friend totally shifted the way I think about values. That moment also shaped how I taught values to my staff back at the farm.

This one’s a fun and reflective episode on getting clear about what matters most to you—and owning it fully.

Drive with me as I chat about this idea that the messenger DOES matter, you know we don't have to shoot them - in fact please don't - but know that who says something matters. The source for a message shifts depending on who is delivering it, their experience etc and its why building yourself a circle of well rounded, experienced colleagues, friends and family so that you can go to the right people for the right message!

Make granola with me as I unpack a profound realization: I have a pattern of wishing for minor catastrophes to happen so I don’t have to do the things I don’t want to do or take responsibility for my actions and their outcomes.

While embarrassing to  acknowledge, I know I’m not alone in this. Sometimes, it feels easier to hope for an external disruption rather than face my own resistance and what I am truly avoiding.

In this episode, I share how recognizing this mindset is helping me shift how I approach challenges and be with the discomfort of my feelings instead of wishing them away with external circumstances.

Walk with me in this episode as I share the story of running my half marathon—a journey that turned out to be so much more than just crossing the finish line.

I’ll dive into how completing this half marathon wasn’t just a physical accomplishment but a profound shift in a lifelong part of my identity. I shifted pieces of myself that were decades old and had all sorts of unexpected realizations that came with it.

Join me as I unpack how this experience reshaped how I see myself and what it means to embrace growth, resilience, and transformation. Tune in and let’s reflect on how pushing past our limits can redefine who we are.

Welcome to the Hello Hollis podcast!

This podcast is essentially a running conversation between you and me. Think of it as one never-ending voice note where I share what’s on my mind and what I’m thinking all while on the go and living life. 

What does that mean? It means this podcast is recorded in one take, wherever I am—whether I’m out for a walk, driving in the car, or cooking dinner. You get to come along for the ride, listen in, and chat with me—well, actually, I get to chat with you, and you get to listen, but you get the idea.

It’s unfiltered, unedited, and raw—one-sided conversations where I share thoughts on entrepreneurship, lifestyle, parenting, personal and professional growth, and everything in between.

This is a little intro to who I am and a bit more about me!

I can’t wait for you to tune in to these voice notes from the entrepreneurship coach (me!) you didn’t know you needed!

Make granola with me in this episode as I navigate feeling sad, overwhelmed and then guilty about feeling that way in the first place.

As I made granola, I found myself realizing that the process was actually an incredible form of self-care. We often try to boldly label self-care or make it look a certain way—prioritizing aesthetics over how it truly feels. But in reality, self-care is about giving a gift to your future self, regardless of how picture-perfect it looks.
