CEO Operating Brief | Week of April 6th: The Week Between 05.04.2026

This week the transits go almost entirely still - and if you're the kind of founder who fills every quiet moment with catch-up work and new plans, this episode is asking you to try something different. Whether you're off for Easter, navigating half term with kids at home, or at your desk wondering why nothing feels urgent, the instruction is the same this week. The decisions you made in March are...

I Had a Multiple Six Figure Business and It Never Once Felt Like Mine (My Story) 02.04.2026

This is the episode I've been putting off recording. In 2023 I was pregnant with my second child, running a business that was making good money with clients who came back - and I wanted to burn it completely to the ground. The business was working and it had never once felt like mine. This is the full story of what happened next - the hospital bed, the moment my grandparents arrived in a healing s...

CEO Operating Brief | Week of March 30th: Venus Comes Home 29.03.2026

Last week you found out what you're made of. This week you find out what it's worth. Venus moves into Taurus on Monday - her home sign, the sign where worth stops being a wound and starts being a fact - and the season shifts from testing to grounding, from proving to claiming. This is the last working week before Easter, which means Monday to Thursday is where the real work lives. Use it well. In...

The Pattern I Keep Seeing in Founders Who Think They're the Problem 26.03.2026

If your business is working by every measure that matters - and you're still lying awake wondering why it feels so hard -this episode is for you. Today I'm talking about the pattern I keep seeing in established women founders who are succeeding, properly succeeding, and still quietly convinced that the reason it all feels so heavy is something they haven't fixed in themselves yet. It's not discipl...

CEO Operating Brief | Week of March 23rd: 7 Moves for the First Full Week of Aries Season 23.03.2026

The new astrological year opened on Friday. Now the season wants to know what you're actually building in it. This week's CEO Operating Brief covers the first full week of Aries season - and it's not a sprint week. It's a pressure test week. Wednesday brings Sun conjunct Saturn, the first real accountability check of the season. Thursday brings Venus conjunct Chiron - the worth wound surfacing rig...

Aries Season 2026: Your CEO Operating Brief - What to Prioritise, Park and Protect This Season 19.03.2026

The new astrological year opens March 20th, and this is your strategic brief for everything that follows. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly what Aries season 2026 is asking of your business, phase by phase, so you can move with intention instead of urgency. We cover the three phases of the season (find your footing, build, pressure test), why this particular Aries season is different...

CEO Operating Brief: March 16-22: What Are You Carrying Across the Threshold? 16.03.2026

The threshold is right there. March 20th - Sun into Aries, Mercury stations direct, Spring Equinox. The cosmic new year opens on Friday. And before it does, on Thursday, there's a New Moon in Pisces at 28 degrees, the very last degree of the very last sign. The final seed before the reset. What you plant on Thursday crosses the threshold with you. By the time it breaks the surface, you're already...

Your Birth Chart Isn't a Personality Test - It's Your Business Operating System 12.03.2026

You probably know your sun sign. You might know your big three. But what if your birth chart contains the exact blueprint for how you're designed to run your business - not just who you are, but how you make decisions, manage your energy, create content, lead, plan your week, and build something that actually holds? In this episode, Holly breaks down why most founders are running their businesses...

CEO Operating Brief: March 9-15 - The Momentum Is Coming - Choose Where to Point It 09.03.2026

Something unlocks this week. Jupiter stations direct on Wednesday after being retrograde since November, and whatever stalled, went foggy, or lost its momentum is starting to move again. Mars meets the North Node on Friday the 13th. Mercury trines Jupiter on Monday. This is more forward energy than we've had in months. And that's both the opportunity and the risk. Because when everything starts op...

I Ran My Business Against My Wiring for 6 Years - Here's What Changed When I Stopped 05.03.2026

I spent 6+ years running a business built for someone else's brain, and I had no idea I was doing it. Every Sunday I'd write a beautiful plan. By Wednesday it was in pieces. And I kept thinking the problem was me - not disciplined enough, not consistent enough, not cut out for this. Then one evening I looked at my birth chart and realised I'd been forcing a Gemini Moon into a Capricorn Moon's plan...

CEO Operating Brief: March 2-8 - The Eclipse Is Removing Something From Your Business 02.03.2026

Something in your business is done this week. Not failing - done. Outgrown. And you probably already know what it is. Tuesday's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is the biggest transit of the month - a South Node eclipse that releases what's pretending to work in your systems, your service, and your daily operations. But the eclipse is only one day. The rest of the week is about what happens after. In this w...

Mercury Retrograde Is NOT the Problem - Your Business Operating System Is (Here's What to Fix) 27.02.2026

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces just started, and if your plan is to "not sign contracts and wait it out," this episode is going to change how you think about the next three weeks entirely. In this week's episode, I'm breaking down exactly which three pillars of your 9-pillar business constellation are under cosmic review right now, what Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is actually exposing in your plann...

Your Business Runs on You. Here's What It Should Run On Instead. 12.02.2026

If your business only works when you're working - if stepping away for two weeks would make the whole thing collapse - you've got a design problem. Most founders are building 2-3 parts of their business and pouring all their energy into those pieces (usually marketing and delivery) while completely ignoring the other 6-7 parts that would actually take the weight off. In this episode, I'm breaking...

Your Business Wasn't Built for You: Here's Why It Keeps Falling Apart 05.02.2026

You've built something that works. But the moment you step away - sick kid, hard week, your body saying "not today" - the whole thing wobbles. And you think it's you. You think you need more discipline, more consistency, more something. What if it's not you? What if the problem is that you built a business designed for someone else's capacity? In this episode: → Two pictures: a business that holds...

In this episode to get you prepped for the week ahead we cover: → Full moon comedown - why today feels tender and what to do with it → Uranus stations direct Wednesday after 5 months retrograde - what starts to move → Mercury enters Pisces Friday - communication softens → Day...

I Built My Business From Someone Else's Blueprint (Here's What Changed When I Stopped) 29.01.2026

A few years ago I realised I'd built an entire business around someone else's blueprint - and I had no idea I was doing it. I had the strategy, the systems, the offers. I was doing all the "right" things. And I was exhausted in a way that never got better. Then I actually looked at my birth chart. Not just my Sun sign, but the whole thing. And I saw exactly where I'd been building against my own w...

Feel The Intensity Without Letting It Run The Show - What To Focus On This Week (Jan 26-Feb 1) 26.01.2026

Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1875. Mars meets Pluto. Full moon in Leo. This week is intense - but intense doesn't have to mean chaotic. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in the sky and translate it into business decisions you can make this week. Not vibes. Not generic horoscopes. Actual questions to sit with, day by day. This week's arc: Dream → Confront → Pr...

Get Clear Before You Get Busy - What To Focus On This Week (Jan 19-25) 19.01.2026

This week the board is asking you to get clear before you get busy. Aquarius season starts Tuesday, Mercury Cazimi lands Wednesday (clearest thinking day of the month), and by Friday both Mercury and the Sun hit Pluto. So we're moving through clarity → depth → transformation. In this episode I'm walking you through: → The theme for the week and why it matters for your business → Day by day breakdo...

She Stopped Pushing for Growth - Here's What Happened 15.01.2026

I had my first client call of the year this week, and something she said stopped me in my tracks. Before Christmas, she was spiralling - income had dipped, clients had moved on, she was convinced she was falling behind. A few weeks later? She's calm. She's clear. And what she wants isn't more. It's stability. That conversation sparked this whole episode, because I think a lot of people need to hea...

Finish Before You Start - What To Focus On This Week (Jan 12-18) 12.01.2026

Your weekly CEO briefing is here. This week the board is asking you to finish before you start - if you've had half-built things open since the beginning of January, this is your window to close the loops. Monday to Friday still has momentum. By Saturday we're in dark moon territory, and Sunday's new moon at the very end of Capricorn is asking: what have you learned and what's the one thing you're...

I Hid the Astrology for Years - Here's Why I'm Done 08.01.2026

This is the episode I didn't know how to make until I lived it. In 2025, I finally stopped hiding the part of my work that makes me different. I stopped performing the version of "business coach" I thought I was supposed to be. And I started building something that's actually mine. Inspired by Charli XCX's Brat era - the idea that you can burn down a version of yourself and come back more YOU - th...
