BTS of my podcast reset!


Hi Reader!

A couple of weeks ago, we quietly relaunched the podcast with new everything.

New colors, new intro, new look.

New interview questions.

And a deeper mission than ever.

But this wasn’t just a rebrand.

It was a reset.

Because while our mission has always been to help women build life-first businesses..

I wanted to make sure we were doing everything we could with the podcast to live that mission – not just talk about it.

This summer, I took a break from podcasting, stepped back, and asked myself some hard questions:

Is the work we’re doing on the show really helping women build businesses that support their lives?

Is the content we’re putting out there helping women build businesses that give them more space and time for their priorities outside of work without sacrificing revenue?

Am I showing our listeners HOW to build a business in very part-time hours? And sharing the real, truest, messiest parts – the lessons, what I’m actually doing, and what I tried that didn’t work?

I wasn’t kidding when I said these questions were tough. :)

I journaled. I talked to my husband. I leaned on my mastermind friends.

And I made some decisions on what the show would look like going forward.

➡️ We stripped it all back.

➡️ We kept what was working and changed what needed a refresh.

➡️ And we doubled down on what matters most.

So when you tune in now, here’s what you’ll hear:

Personal updates. Talking about myself isn’t easy, but I want to give you a more behind-the-scenes look and share what I’m actually doing and working through on a weekly basis, so you can see what really goes into a life-first business. Messy middle and all!

Client stories. Not just the highlights, but what real women – with limited time and busy schedules – are building and how they’re doing it.

Tactical steps. Think less “fluffy theory” and more clear, actionable strategies that you can start today.

If you are determined to build a business that puts you and your life first – not hustle, not trends – this podcast is your go-to space.

It’s your roadmap, support system, and reminder that it IS possible to do business differently.

I’d love for you to see the updated, relaunched, all-new Crush The Rush Podcast for yourself!

Start with today’s episode: Using AI to Decode My Business Human Design: The Strategy I Didn’t See Coming.

If your content or messaging feels off, or your business just doesn’t feel quite YOU – this episode will give you answers to what might be going on.

It in, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve used AI and Human Design to understand my business (and myself), and how you can too.

Holly

P.S. – Did you know your business has its own personality? Yep — its own Human Design.

And once you understand how to work with it (and not against it), making decisions feels easier, and you feel like a more confident CEO.

Tune in here to see how I’m using AI + HD to guide my strategy — and how you can too.

Life First Business Strategy for Entrepreneurs Hey Reader, There’s something really vulnerable about sharing numbers publicly—especially when they don’t follow the “up and to the right” storyline everyone expects. But I want to tell you the truth anyway. This year, our business revenue dropped 30% compared to last year. And 75% of that? Was completely intentional. We chose to: Launch the Collective Co-Op only once a year (it’s coming back in November!) 👀 Make Anti-Social School™ evergreen and...
