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,
It was supposed to be the fun week.
First week of summer.
New routines.
No meetings (except for clients I adore).
The girls passed their swim test (game changer 🏊‍♀️).
I started reading Atmosphere.
Claimed this as “The Summer of Me.”
Hired a nutritionist. Changed our brand colors (more coming soon...)
Even hosted our Co-Op virtual retreat—and it was magical.

​Madeline brought the content fire.
​Lex dropped some spiritual and astro wisdom.
​Sasha is giving us business therapy realness.
And I shared my go-to quarterly planning system.
​We laughed. We cried. We mapped dreams. ✨

But then… life happened.

Our neighbor—whose daughter is in class with my girls—passed away suddenly while camping with her family.

She’s my age.
We went to college together.
I saw her just last week on the last day of school.

It’s been a gut punch.
The kind that makes everything else feel blurry.

I held it in all week.
Because I wanted to give 110% to my clients and the retreat experience.
But also… as my therapist would say, keeping things in isn’t exactly the best path. 🤷‍♀️

And here’s the truth I can’t stop thinking about:
​Life is short. And joy isn’t optional.

The Anti-Social™ Shift: Joy > Everything

All week, I saw it in my clients too.
They launched summer offers without overthinking.
No complex funnels. Just heart and clarity.

We taught them how to batch and schedule content, so they can show up and still step back.
​Space and impact are not mutually exclusive.

And here’s what I hope you hear loud and clear:

• Don’t wait for it to be perfect.
• Don’t hold your joy hostage.
• Do the thing now. Even if it’s small.

Let it be messy. Let it be real. Let it matter.

Strategy Snapshot: Your Move This Week

Pick one thing that’s been sitting on the “someday” shelf.
Dust it off.
Do it differently.
Do it with joy.
But please—don’t wait.

And if you’re someone who prays, please send one for our friend's family.
They’ll need every bit of light we can offer. 💛

XO,
Holly​
