Hello Hollis Podcast

In this episode of Hello Hollis, I’m revisiting something I touched on in my last episode — because after some reflection and a conversation with my own coach, I realized I left out the most important part. I talk about why we need to stop getting in our heads about whether anyone actually cares about our lifestyle content. But this time, I’m getting into the real reason it matters — and it comes...

In this episode of Hello Hollis, I’m getting into something that I think is holding so many of us back from showing up consistently in our content. It’s this obsession with whether people even care about what we’re posting. I talk about why lifestyle content and b-roll isn’t there for your audience to share your interests or love what you love. It’s there to create a backdrop of who you are, what...

In this episode of Hello Hollis, I’m out on a walk while traveling through England and Ireland with my husband and kids, reflecting on a phrase we use all the time: “once in a lifetime.” This trip is deeply meaningful, returning to places I once lived, introducing my children to people and experiences that shaped me, and it would be so easy to label it as a one-time, bucket-list moment. But the mo...

In this episode of Hello Hollis, I’m going a little deeper on something I touched on in the last episode around the idea of “once in a lifetime.” I really have thought more about how our brains and bodies often push back against the very things we say we want, especially when those things feel bigger, more expansive, or outside of what we’re used to. My recent trip to England and Ireland with my f...

In this episode of Hello Hollis, I’m diving into the concept of unconscious permission and how the way we show up in our lives has far more influence than we think. I talk about that instinct we all have to want other people to change and how frustrating it can feel when they don’t. But the real shift happens when we turn inward. Instead of trying to control or fix someone else, I talk about how c...

Still across the pond. Still jet lagged. And yet, as I was willing myself unsuccessfully to sleep (and told myself to get a grip) I said to myself “In this moment I would rather be in England awake, exhausted, frustrated and jet lagged than home asleep and rested”.  And that reminder to myself was enough to snap out of the pity party and lean into to the gratitude of actually living in my goal ful...

Hello Hollis takes a trip across the pond and well the jet lag is real. Not so much for me but for my kids and therefore also me. I’d be sleeping if it were up to me instead of 4 small humans whose circadian rhythm is all mixed up. In any case, in this episode I share my aha moment after arriving in England that has everything to do with your goals (and mine). A bit of context, I lived here as a n...

News flash.... We teach people how to treats us.  Our standards and our way of being let others know what our expectations are and when we realize that we aren't being treated in the way that we want, it's time to raise those standards. Will everyone instantly adhere to them. Likely not, but at least you now get the choice to decide who you want to work with and have relationships with f...

Ok, I am starting Season 2 with this episode. One where I start uncertain about the time of death of this podcast... admit that I lost the plot somewhere back in the Fall and share that yes it's time to go back. Admittedly, I recorded this in December and am only now releasing it but I know that the message still tracks and honestly after a break feels like the right start to this next season...

Apparently midnight car drives are inspiration for podcasts. This episode dives into what might be possible for you if you only said YES to things you actually wanted to do/wear/say/be etc. I know, I know, this is a radical idea. What if you only said yes to things that felt like a FULLY BODY 'HELL YES'. What if there was less in your calendar/closet/plans/schedule that was not aligned a...

My daughter recently did a project where she stepped out of her comfort zone and then at one point asked me if I thought it was "too much" and "too cringe". And I honestly told her that if she was avoiding being cringe then she was actively avoiding joy and life experiences that she would love and learn from. I cannot stand that you are missing out on your life for fear of bein...

What happens when you stop writing things off as ‘not for you’ and start getting curious—one intentional outfit at a time? This month I’ve been running a little experiment: getting dressed with intention every single day, inspired by my gorgeous friend and style leader Katherine Connected . Three weeks in, I can tell you it has changed everything—the way I show up online, with my family, with clie...

If you think time freedom means you get to do what you want, when you want then you are right, mostly. Sometimes it gets interpreted as "I don't have to work ever" when really its about scheduling in whats most important first then holding yourself accountable to do what you need to do at a different time. We have to begin from the place of what would I love and then build out our c...

Well peeps its been a a few weeks since my last episode. August really took me for a spin - and I loved it. Full on fun. Full on calendars. Back to back to back activities. I need to sleep all September to recover but I loved all the things we fit into the month! We are back to the podcast and I loved chatting with you today about dropping back into life/habits and routines this Fall and NOT apolo...

As entrepreneurs we sometimes forget that we have ownership and choice about who we work with. In this episode we are diving into why it is wildly important to protect your energy, your health and your wealth by letting go of clients, customers and partnerships that are not values aligned. The cost of a client that is not aligned is WAY more than you are getting paid. The hours you spend thinking...

In today's episode we dive into the reality that self-improvement, self-growth and betterment is voluntary. There is no one (or at least very rarely) that is making you do the work to better yourself. That is both freeing and frustrating when you realize that. You are free to choose and also free to avoid. I think it comes down to what 'hard' we want to choose in our life. No one is...

This topic absolutely lights me up! Possibilities! Playing around with what is possible for you. We have an awareness of what is possible for other people but we do not give ourselves the same runway. There is a huge gap between it is possible and it is possible FOR ME. We keep so much at arm's length because we buy into why we can't have what we want and we tell ourselves endless storie...

The podcast took a vacation last week. Did I tell you, no. Did I tell anyone!? Also no. And guess what? The world kept turning. Listen, I wanted to tell you I was going AWOL for a week, I had intended to but then I used my time for other things and thus ran out of available time. I always strive to be a person of integrity and who's word means something AND sometimes life happens and things s...

The pursuit of professionalism is coming at the cost of connection and I am not here for it. Arrange flowers with me as I remind you that you get to show up as your whole, wonderful, unique self and it doesn't have to always have a business-y slant. Tell the people what you like, what you don't like, what you're up to. We are nosey. We want to know you. We want to buy from you. We w...

Yes, you heard it here first. I made my kids dreams come true by taking them to the local public pool. They have been begging for years and with access to many a family member's pool I haven't been motivated to go. But today was the day. And it was a delight. Sit public poolside with me as I share about why Summer will always be my favourite season, heat and all. The sun, the lack of clo...

Still at the public pool loving life. Still talking to you. And finally I am sharing about my triathlon. But its not about my triathlon its about you and your goals. I want you to think of something that is important for you to do, no matter how big or small. And remember that you don't need to wait for the perfect conditions, resources or tools to do what you want to do. That is a self sabot...

The episode is a little about yard work and a lot about thank YOU for listening to to my ramblings for 2 months now! We are almost 30 episodes and 600 downloads in and I am just unbelievably grateful for you for tuning in. This style of podcast just isn't done, short, completely unedited voice notes and I am so thrilled that it is resonating with you. I love getting messages, DMs and voice no...

Listen, I talked about this on Instagram this week and boy did it resonate with you all. I felt it needed a permanent spot and a deeper dive here on the podcast. YOU are your most valuable asset to your business in many ways but most importantly because you are you. Unique, brilliant, wonderful you. You might be thinking that you aren't really that unique or special - incorrect. There is no o...

This episode is as much for me as it is for you. Pack for camping with me as I overpack and over prepare and try and talk myself off the ledge of how many pairs of hard pants I need (the correct answer is zero). I am a chronic over-packer. I know it. The airlines know it. I won't usually go anywhere without being over prepared. And I know I am not alone. This not only applies to my suitcase b...

Nothing brings out the best of Motherhood like bedtime, amiright?! Oh for the love of all that is good in this world all I can say is whyyyyyyyyyyy. Bedtime is one of the times Motherhood Marketing really really kicks into high gear. What is Motherhood Marketing you ask? Well its the realization that being a parent is one endless marketing project where you are constantly selling yourself, selling...
