    This podcast is the real deal, SO helpful to my business and my life!
    I am somewhat new to Holly’s world and I am absolutely loving listening to this podcast, following her on socials, and being part of her Crush the Rush community. I feel reassured everytime I tune in and I’ve gotten great direction for my business from all that she shares. She doesn’t sugarcoat that things take time and work to build but she definitely shares how to work smarter, not harder.

  • Ren Benedicto
    Actionable Businesss Advice (that are actually doable)
    You know those podcasts that give you amazing advice but when it's time to implement you realize there's so much more to do? This isn't one of them! Ever since I heard the episode with Linda Sidhu, I've been hooked. That episode pushed to finish up my quiz and actually reach out to connect with people I would normally be too intimidated to reach out to! All summer I've been binge-listening episodes, applying what I learn and going to the next episode. There's so much to unpack in each episode but even if you come away with just 1 practical tip to apply your business will be all the more better for it! It's a must-add to your podcast playlist!
  • Kcbrand

  • a&e2011
    Fun, digestible content!
    I was recently introduced to this podcast and have been bingeing it ever since! I truly appreciate how digestible the content is and how Holly relates it back to real life case studies. I even more appreciated and loved the “Ditch the Social Drama” private series that I signed up for. The clear, actionable steps are just what I need when I’m feeling lost and need a kick in the butt!

    I love this pod and especially Amy Green Smith’s episode! Couldn’t agree more that people pleasing has an impact on our business practices and her perspective was super insightful. 10/10, would recommend:)
  • ashley.braswell (:
    Burnout be GONE!
    Owning a business is sometimes OVERWHELMING and Holly has a way of simplifying and making it feel do-able with losing my mind and sanity in the process. I really love how she gives super practical tips and I’ve learned so much but also know that these are things she does too and has found success with. It’s so inspiring to see that a life first business can be done, and can be done well!

    Finally REAL, Usable Advice for Mompreneurs!
    Holly has a knack for finding the value and tactical action items in every process. She has the experience and knowledge and breaks everything down into manageable pieces for business owners at any level and she practices what she preaches on her podcast. She has key points that she drives home regularly, she is focused on action and not on consumption. This podcast and CTR community have been the main reasons I feel capable and confident enough to start my own podcast and create a business of my own!

    Master interviewer!
