Better Together|| No. 49 - We did something a little unplanned (because you needed it) 💛


This week’s Better Together Round-Up is here! Think: one game-changing strategy, the resources you didn’t know you needed, and a few fun favorites we’re loving right now. Quick to read, packed with value—you in? 🕒 3-minute read, unlimited inspiration.

Hey Reader -

This week, I watched my girls dash through Field Day like they were chasing the sun, even though it is a cool 59 degrees. It was their last one—fifth grade, final stretch of elementary school—and I had all the feelings. 🥲

That kind of full-circle moment has a way of shifting your perspective, right? Anyone else just block out Covid Kindergarten? 🤦‍♀️ Flashback to the days when dressing was optional. lol.

Regardless, it mirrored something unexpected that happened in the business too…

We did something a little unplanned…

Because sometimes? The universe gives you a nudge. During our Summer Success Workshop, I felt it—and I knew: you needed this.

So we pulled back the curtain and officially shared the Co-Op Summer Plan:

🌞 The chance to borrow my brain, my team, and my strategy
all inside a flexible summer setup that
actually works with your life.

Whether you’re ramping up or slowing down, we’ll help you map it out—together.

This Week’s Anti-Social™ Shift: Community is your shortcut.

We hosted a crossover event that brought together the Club, the Co-Op, and Anti-Social School—and honestly? It was the highlight of my week.

There’s just something about learning with your people. We dove into how to use AI this summer to make space, streamline, and stay sane—and featured Gemma’s AI Unlocked, a free guide that makes tech feel human again.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or behind, here’s your gentle nudge:
Get in the room. Strategy hits different when it’s shared with people who see you.

Try this: The Community Check-In Method

Each week, answer these 3 prompts (and bonus points if you share with a biz bestie):

  1. What’s one small win I’m proud of?
  2. What’s one challenge I’m navigating?
  3. Where could I use a second brain or support?

Little rhythm. Big ripple.

Whether you’re juggling field days or fine-tuning funnels, just remember—you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re in this together. And I’m just a click away if you’re ready to do summer differently this time.
XO,
Holly
