Hey Reader -
This morning, I stood at the bus stop one last time.
Last day of 5th grade. Last day of elementary school.
Cue the tears. (Yes, all week long. Every day.)
It brought me right back to January 2020.
I remember standing in the kitchen thinking, “I can’t miss another bus stop.”
My girls were in Kindergarten.
I was racing the clock. My corporate job was demanding—good kind of intense, but… a lot.
And that was the moment. The one where I knew something had to change.
So I started building Crush the Rush.
Then came the pandemic.
Then the podcast. (Because let’s be honest, we all needed a little help.)
And today, I got to walk for an hour with my husband after putting our girls on the bus.
Slow, unhurried, present.
Something I’ll never take for granted.
The Anti-Social™ Shift: Magic Happens in the Quiet
I’m calling it a mini sabbatical.
Not a full stop, because Club + Co-Op are still very much alive.
But a quiet, creative summer behind the scenes.
I want to make things.
I want to rethink things.
I want to feel like Elle Woods walking into Harvard—bold, brilliant, unstoppable. (Yes, Anti-Social School is getting an upgrade that may or may not be around these themes!)
So I hired a strategist. My Chief-Everything-Officer.
And together we’re mapping out some big moves.
Passive schedule vibes. Clean energy. Clear intention.
Strategy Snapshot: Your Summer, Your Way
Here’s your permission slip:
You can slow down and move forward.
If you’re craving space but don’t want to lose momentum, try this:
✨ The “Feel-Good” Filter
When planning your week, ask:
- Does this task fuel my energy or drain it?
- Is this aligned with how I want to spend my summer?
- Would Future Me be proud of this?
Then adjust accordingly. Simplify. Swap. Say no.
This is your season to get creative—with your calendar, your content, and your capacity.
(I helped clients map out some seriously dreamy summer offers this month, and the secret? FUN. Let it be fun.)
The inbox is where the magic’s going to happen this summer.
New drops. Behind-the-scenes peeks. Some juicy strategy and storytelling.
And yes, the podcast/press tour is coming soon—10 shows and counting. 👀 You’ll hear me everywhere this fall.
But for now?
Hello slow schedule. I have been waiting for you.
XO,
Holly
