The week of August 10th 2026 is the biggest and strangest week of the month, because the loudest day in it, the Leo Solar Eclipse on Wednesday the 12th, is the one day you should do nothing at all.
This CEO Brief walks your whole week as a business owner: the forced beginning the eclipse seeds, why the smart move is to notice and name what surfaces instead of acting on it, the reality-check on Monday (Venus opposite Neptune), and where the bold announcement actually belongs (Mercury meets Jupiter on the 15th, and why you say it Friday, not into a dead Saturday).
Plus three ways to protect your capacity through eclipse week, and your read by element.
Chart-based strategy for founders.

(Leo Solar Eclipse 12 Aug; Venus opposite Neptune 10 Aug; Mercury conjunct Jupiter 15 Aug 2026.)
Venus enters Libra on 6 August 2026, opening a roughly month-long window on your pricing, your client relationships, and the terms you work under - and most people will treat it as a cosy spell of harmony and miss the deadline sitting inside it.
This episode is about the offer you've outgrown: the price you set as a smaller version of yourself, the client on terms you'd never agree to now. You'll get the one simple sort that tells you exactly what to fix in this clean stretch and what to park for the Venus retrograde review that begins 3 October - because a transit isn't weather to feel, it's a window to work. Decide what you're sure of now. Leave what you're not for October.

(Venus enters Libra 6 Aug 2026; Venus retrograde from 3 Oct 2026.)
The week of August 3rd 2026 is the last quiet week before eclipse season, and if you run a business, it has one job: prepare.
This is your CEO Brief for the week ahead, the short tactical read on what the sky's doing and how to actually run your week by it.
Inside
- why this is a setup week not a build-everything week
- the one genuine working day (Friday's Sun-Saturn trine, your load-bearing prep day)
- the money-and-worth undercurrent starting up as Chiron turns retrograde
- and the three-week relationship-and-money window opening as Venus enters Libra.
- Plus your three capacity moves for the week and where it lands for each element.
The one job this week: get everything ready now, because next week the ground moves and you don't want to be preparing on eclipse day. Chart-based strategy for founders, not horoscopes.
August 2026 brings two eclipses, a Leo Solar Eclipse on the 12th and a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 28th, and if you run a business, how you read this eclipse season decides whether the month clears the ground for you or clears it out from under you.
This is Chapter 8 of your operating year, The Clearing: your full month-ahead map, built from the actual sky and turned into what to do, not just what to feel.
Inside this episode:
- why August looks like a launch month but is really a clearing month, and why that distinction matters for your revenue
- the two eclipses and the opposite jobs they do (be seen at the Leo eclipse on the 12th, release at the Pisces eclipse on the 28th)
- a week-by-week plan with one concrete business move for each week
- the Chiron retrograde thread running underneath the month from the 3rd and how to handle it
- an operational read for every zodiac sign
- and the two focus areas the sky is lighting for your business this month.
The one question to carry through August: what am I still carrying that this month is trying to close?
This is chart-based strategy for founders and business owners, not horoscopes, the map of your month rather than the weather.

A Full Moon in Aquarius lands on Wednesday 29 July, and it's sitting directly opposite the Sun meeting Jupiter in Leo, which is the once-a-year biggest expansion day in the calendar. Same day, same axis. Which changes what the week is actually asking of you.
This is THE HANDOVER. The biggest opening of the year is genuinely on the table, and it's directly opposite something you're gripping. You can't take it with your hands full.
Monday is the dress rehearsal, when the Sun runs into Pluto and shows you what's actually in your hands before Wednesday asks you to let go of it. Tuesday you work out what fills the gap, because the reason people don't let go isn't that they want to keep the thing, it's that they've got no plan for the hole it leaves. Wednesday you make the exchange. Then the sky empties out for three days so the thing can land.
Inside this episode:
- Why Monday's friction is information, not the week going wrong
- The tell that shows you exactly what you're gripping (it's defensiveness)
- How to price the thing before you trade it, because you can't make a trade with one side unpriced
- Why Thursday is when people quietly take it back
- Your element briefing: fire, air, earth and water each have a different job this week
- The card pull, and why you're guarding a win rather than a burden
This is the most lopsided week in months. Two days matter. Protect those, and let the rest be light.
The question to carry: what am I holding onto that I'd have to put down to take the bigger thing?

Mercury goes direct on Thursday 23 July and three weeks of review, looping decisions and foggy hold-pattern finally ends. But there's a sequence to this week, and getting it in the wrong order is where most people trip.
Monday hands you the biggest expansion of the season - Jupiter opens a genuinely large door, then runs straight into Pluto hours later, so the opportunity comes with a real cost attached. You'll want to lunge at it. You can't. The machinery doesn't come back online until Thursday.
So the week has a shape: see the opportunity Monday, warm it up when the Sun enters Leo on Wednesday, green-light it Thursday, then check the foundation under it when Saturn turns retrograde on Sunday.
This is a two-peak week. Protect Monday and Thursday, and let the rest be lighter.
Plus your element briefing - fire, earth, air and water each have a different job this week - and the card pull for the room.
The question to carry: what's the thing that's ready to move now, and am I brave enough to green-light it when Thursday comes?

You find the strategy everyone swears by, you sit down to do it, and it feels wrong. Not hard. Wrong. Like wearing a coat that doesn't fit. So you push through, it never clicks, you quietly let it go, and you add it to the pile of evidence that maybe you're just not cut out for this.
You're not. It just wasn't built for you.
In this episode I share the sentence I keep hearing from founders at every stage, in every industry, with nothing in common on paper: nothing feels like me. Four different women. Same line underneath all of them. And every single one of them blamed herself instead of the strategy.
Here's what's actually happening. Every framework you've been sold was designed around how that person is wired. It felt natural to them because it was natural - for them. You ran it through completely different wiring and it felt alien, because it was. That feeling you kept reading as your own inadequacy was accurate data the whole time.
In this episode:
- The sentence four different founders said without realising they were all saying it
- The two conclusions everyone reaches when a strategy doesn't fit, and why both are wrong
- Why "I run out of steam" is information, not weakness
- The real-time example of me nearly buying a content-planning course last week, and how I caught it
- The element-fit tool - how to find your dominant element right now, cold, even if you've never looked at your birth chart
- How fire, earth, air and water each get mis-sold, and what each one actually needs
- The one question to ask any strategy that keeps not sticking: who was this built for?
Your move this week: take the strategy you keep forcing yourself to follow. Don't ask why you can't stick to it. Ask who it was built for. If the answer isn't you, put it down.

The New Moon in Cancer on July 14, 2026 is one of the most inward lunations of the year - it lands conjunct Mercury retrograde, which means it isn't a "launch it now" fresh start, it's a "get clear on what actually matters, then commit to it" one. This is your operating brief for the whole week of July 13-19, built for founders who want to run their week with the sky instead of guessing at it.
Here's the shape: Monday's Mercury Cazimi burns off two weeks of retrograde fog and hands you one clear sentence about the decision you've been circling. Tuesday's New Moon in Cancer is where you commit to it - and the un-obvious thing most people miss is that the New Moon isn't the beginning of the week's story, it's the middle. Monday is the beginning. Then a quiet, protected middle of the week, and a grounded first action on Sunday as Mars meets Saturn.
Inside: a day-by-day operating read for Monday through Sunday, how the week lands for each element (fire, earth, air, water), a capacity read so you spend your energy on the two days that actually matter, and a card pull to close.
This is chart-based business architecture, not horoscopes - the sky read as an operating agenda for your business, not a vibe. If you want this done on your own chart instead of your element, the Cosmic Blueprint is what you need to get: https://abranchofholly.thrivecart.com/2026/
The question to carry all week: what's the one thing I'm ready to plant, and do I actually know what it is yet?
Get your weekly horoscopes on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollybrayceo/
Ever get the feeling your business is fine - clients, income, nothing on fire - and yet it somehoq feels harder than it should, a bit flat, like you're pouring energy into a version of it you don't fully mean? That feeling isn't a discipline problem or burnout. It's the gap between the business you're running and the one you actually want to be running, and it's the most expensive thing most founders carry.
In this episode, Holly closes that gap on her own business, live and in public, on her birthday. You'll hear the exact first step she takes every client through: naming the safe version and the real version of your business side by side, spotting what the safe one has quietly been costing you (hint: it's not money, it's your capacity and energy), and finding the one concrete, slightly-terrifying move that only the real version would make.
This is the first pillar of her chart-based method - your North Star, the true direction of your business - and she builds it out loud so you can see exactly how to start on yours. If you've been building a smaller, safer version of the right business without realising it, this one will catch you.
This is chart-based business architecture, not horoscopes: your birth chart read as the operating system your business has been missing, and translated into how you actually run it. If it lands, the Cosmic Blueprint is the door in - the way you start finding your own direction in your own chart. Get yours here: https://abranchofholly.thrivecart.com/2026/

This week's CEO Brief is The Return - the first full week of July, and the first move of the month I've been calling the Reclaiming. It's a going-back week: back to why you started this business, to check whether the thing you're running now is still the one you actually meant to build, before the second half of the year grows it.
I walk you through the week day by day - what each day's genuinely good for and what it isn't - so you can run your actual working week with the sky instead of against it. Plus the Neptune retrograde station on Tuesday and why the flattering version of your story gets so tempting, Venus moving into Virgo mid-week, your read by element - fire, earth, air, water - and the one question to carry the whole way through.
A weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky, not at the mercy of it. Chart-based strategy, not horoscopes.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer runs June 29th to July 23rd, and most business advice will tell you to hide through it. This is the opposite take: how to use the July 2026 retrograde as the most useful strategic review window of your year.
This is Chapter 7 of your operating year - The Reclaiming - a complete guide to the astrology of July 2026 for founders and business owners. Mercury retrograde in Cancer opens three weeks of foundation review, the Cancer New Moon on July 14 seeds what you're rebuilding, and the month turns as the Sun enters Leo on July 23 toward the Sun-Jupiter conjunction and Aquarius Full Moon on July 29 - the clearest visibility window of the year.
Inside this episode:
- The full four-week map of July: Return, Seed, Opening, and Green Light
- Why Mercury retrograde in Cancer is a review window, not a threat
- The Cancer New Moon (July 14) and what to plant at your foundation
- Saturn retrograde from July 26 and the commitment audit it opens
- A month-by-month briefing for your element - fire, earth, air, water
- The two business pillars the sky is lighting: Inner Authority and Magnetic Presence
One question to carry the whole month: is the thing I'm about to put out into the world actually mine?

Monday a Full Moon lights up everything you've built. Tuesday Jupiter comes home into Leo for a year. And underneath both, Mercury turns retrograde - so this is THE CROSSING: the week you walk through the door, and choose what you carry across and what you leave behind. Here's how to use it.
This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky instead of being run by it: every transit turned into something you actually do, in your calendar, your money, your decisions.
This week covers Monday 29th June through Sunday 5th July:
- Why a threshold week is crossed by what you refuse to carry, not by moving faster
- Monday's full-light audit - holding one built thing up against who you are now (Full Moon in Capricorn)
- Tuesday's real instruction as Jupiter enters Leo - not "be visible," but where the year actually rewards you
- Thursday's worth-move (Jupiter square Chiron) - and why the voice that says "who am I to charge that" was installed, not authored
- Why Saturday's rest is the instruction, and the spark you capture but don't act on
- Your elemental department briefing - what Fire, Earth, Air and Water each need this week
- The World, and the threshold already crossed
Next week the chapter turns into THE RETURN - the July arc home to the true version of yourself before the year lets you be fully seen for it. The full chapter opener drops Thursday.
This is chart-based business architecture - your actual birth chart turned into how you actually run. Reading tells you what's there. Architecture builds something with it.

Your business keeps wobbling at the same points every year. Some months feel like wading through treacle while others feel effortless, and the strategies that work for everyone else don't quite land for you - and you've started to suspect there's a real reason for it.
This episode is about the next two weeks, and why they're the most useful window you'll get all year. We're at the exact midpoint - the hinge - and what you do in the run-up now sets up the entire back half of your year. So this is the operating plan: not how the next fortnight will make you feel, but what to actually do with it, in your business, starting Monday 29th June.
We walk it as one single movement: a chapter closing, a door opening, and a checkpoint and a pause built into the doorway between. A mid-year audit of what you've actually built versus what's only standing because you're holding it up. A review window before you charge into the back half. And a door you don't lunge at - you get ready for. Plus the part nobody's talking about: why stepping toward being more visible knocks your confidence right when you least expect it, and what to do when it does.
If you've built something real and you're tired of hard seasons meaning you've failed, this is the one that explains what's actually going on - and what to build instead.
Constellation Studio is open now for its founding cohort, starting Monday 29th June, with doors closing on the 30th. Everything's linked below, and my DMs are open if you want to talk it through before you decide.

The Solstice turns the year, Cancer season begins - and you've got one quiet week before the sky cracks wide open. This is THE APPROACH: the held breath before the expansion. Here's how to use it.
This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky instead of being run by it: every transit turned into something you actually do, in your calendar, your money, your decisions.
This week covers Monday 22nd through Sunday 28th of June:
- Why a quiet week before a loud one is the most strategically important week of the month
- The six-line foundation audit to run on Monday, as Cancer season begins
- Thursday's worth-setting window (Venus trine Saturn) - and the inherited doubt that arrives the same day to talk you out of using it
- How to make one worth decision concrete, in the morning, before the fog
- Why Saturday's rest is the instruction, not the gap
- Your elemental department briefing - what Fire, Earth, Air and Water each need this week
- The Page of Wands, and the spark right before the fire
Next week, the chapter turns - a Full Moon, a retrograde, and the biggest expansion transit of the year, all inside forty-eight hours. Everything you anchor this week is what that expansion gets to grow. We'll walk through all of it in next week's chapter opener.

What if the reason your business feels so much harder than it "should" - the flat months, the drained Wednesdays, the strategies that work for everyone but you - has nothing to do with your discipline, your focus, or how much you want it?
What if you've just been handed the wrong manual?
In this episode, I take you through one client's entire 2026 so far - anonymised, but every detail real. She started in the red: foggy, exhausted, doubling her prices on someone else's advice, certain she was the problem. By June she'd taken two guilt-free holidays and built a business that runs without her. And here's the part that matters: she didn't do it by working harder. Every single shift happened the moment she stopped pushing.
Because the thing that was broken was never her effort. It was the instructions she was running on.
You have a way you're built to earn, to grow, to rest, to lead - as specific as a fingerprint. Almost nobody is running on theirs. They're running on a manual handed down by a coach built nothing like them, and then blaming themselves when it doesn't fit. This episode is about what happens when you finally read your own.
This is chart-based business architecture - your birth chart read as an operating system for how you actually run a business. Not horoscopes. Not how you'll feel on Tuesday. The actual instructions: how you're built to lead, sell, decide, and earn.
If something in this lands - that quiet "oh, that's me" - that's not random. That's the part of you that already knows it's been running the wrong manual.

This week the ground shifts - a new six-month cycle begins, an eight-year wound changes signs, and the whole season turns. THE SHIFT is the week your second half of the year gets seeded. Here's how to run your business through it.
This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week by the sky - chart-based systems and operations, not vibes. Every Sunday I take the week ahead and translate it into exactly where to put your energy, what to deliver, and what to leave well alone.
Inside this week's brief:
- The New Moon in Gemini (15th) and the one seed to plant for December
- Chiron entering Taurus (19th) and what the eight-year worth shift means for your pricing
- The Solstice and Cancer season - and how to let the year turn without grabbing the wheel
- A day-by-day operating plan, Monday to Sunday
- Your elemental department check-ins
- The card for the week (and why the Seven of Cups is almost showing off)
We're inside Chapter Six - THE ANCHOR - and this is the inflection week, where you set what holds you before the expansion arrives. Catch the Thursday episode this week, and the next brief drops Sunday.

Most founders hit the middle of the year, panic that not enough has happened, and set the back half up exactly the way they set up the first - on a manual that was never built for them. In this episode I share what I noticed going back through a year of client work: completely different women, completely different businesses, all landing in the same place. Not because they were failing - most of them were doing really well - but because the way they were running their businesses didn't fit how they were actually built.
I break down the simple three-part way to look at your whole business, why your birth chart is the missing piece that shows you how you specifically are designed to run each part, and three things you can do this week to set the rest of your year up around your real wiring instead of someone else's rules. If you've ever felt like the strategies that work for everyone else don't quite work for you - this one's for you.

This week's CEO Brief is THE WORTH, and the board is asking you to receive. This is the week the good stuff is genuinely on the table: Venus meets Jupiter in Cancer on Tuesday, the two most generous players in the chart shaking hands, and Venus moves into Leo by Saturday. So the whole week tilts toward receiving and being seen. Your only job is to not get in its way - to take what's coming at full size instead of shrinking it, discounting it, or bracing for it to be snatched back.
Inside this episode: the full week mapped day by day (where to push, where to hold, where the doubt lands and why not to believe it), your department check-ins by element so you can run the week through your own Sun, Moon and Rising, the card for the week, and the one capacity move that makes the whole thing land. This is a weekly operating brief for founders who want to run their business with the sky instead of feeling at the mercy of it - not a horoscope, an operating system.

In this episode I'm taking apart something I see in almost every founder I work with: the belief that when a season of business gets hard, it means you've lost your discipline, your consistency, or your edge. I don't think that's what's happening. I think you've been running your business on borrowed templates - someone else's morning routine, someone else's launch strategy, someone else's pace - and when they don't fit, you've made it mean something about you.
I break down the difference between productivity (how much you do) and efficiency (doing the work that's actually built for you), why the most "productive" version of you can still burn out, and how your birth chart works as an operating system for how you're specifically wired to run - your energy, your rhythm, what drains you and why. I share the work I do on my own business every week, a real client moment from yesterday that turned out to be this exact thing in action, and the simple, honest audit I'd have you do this week before you change a single thing.
If you've built something real and you're tired of hard seasons making you feel like you're failing, this one's for you.

Welcome to The CEO Brief - the chart-based business operating system delivered weekly for women founders who want to work with the sky, not at the mercy of it.
This week's Brief is the inaugural episode of Chapter 6: THE ANCHOR, the chapter pillar that anchors the back half of 2026.
Week 1 of June is THE AUDIT, AKA the most strategic week of the month. You'll walk through the sky transit by transit, day by day, with a full operational plan for what to do (and what not to do) from Monday June 1st through Sunday June 7th.
What's inside this Brief:
- The two questions to sit with all week, and why they shape the entire chapter ahead
- Day-by-day operating instructions, Monday to Sunday, including the 90-minute audit window on Tuesday and the integration days that earn it
- The four elemental departments - what each element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) is being asked to do this week, with per-sign personalisations
- A chart-in-practice moment showing how to read your own chart against this week's transits
- This week's card pull and what it means in context
- How to use Week 1 to set up the entire month of June - and the second half of 2026
If you're a founder who wants to stop reorganising your business every time a hard season shows up, this is the operating system that gives you the language for what's already happening, with the homework to use it.
🌟 New Brief drops every Sunday morning.

Workshop: Your Business, Rewired - Wednesday 17th June, 12pm UK time (free, live): https://hollybray.com/rewired/
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Lodestar - the monthly long-form forecast where the sky becomes your business operating system. This is THE ANCHOR: your complete guide to June 2026.
Before you can expand, you have to know what you're anchoring into. June is the last month of the first half of 2026, and whatever you build now is what you carry into the second half of the year.
In this episode, I walk you through:
- The four major transits shaping the month (the New Moon in Gemini, Chiron's move into Taurus, the Full Moon in Capricorn, and Jupiter's entry into Leo)
- A week-by-week operational map with real homework for each week
- The two business pillars the sky is lighting up this month
- The single-sign Cancer Mercury Retrograde bridging June into July
- Plus elemental department briefings so you know exactly what your chart is being asked to do.
This isn't fortune-telling. It's chart-based business architecture - the practice of using astrology to build a business that holds steady through hard seasons, with peace, predictability, and sustainable growth. If you've ever felt like your business keeps wobbling at the same points every year, this episode gives you the language and the structure to understand why - and what to do about it.

This week is THE RUNWAY. Six days of careful, deliberate, low-output work leading into a Blue Moon climax on Sunday - the second Full Moon in May, the once-in-a-blue-moon, landing on the last day before the last month of the first half of 2026.
If you push for productivity this week, you'll miss the actual gift. Founders who are already succeeding know the difference between a producing week and a tending week. Most coaches will tell you to push through anyway. I'm not going to.
In this week's Brief:
- Why Monday's Sun-North-Node square is friction worth noticing rather than resolving
- How to use Tuesday's Sun-Pluto trine for one ninety-minute window of real depth work
- Why Wednesday's void is the architectural centre of the entire week (and what happens if you fill it)
- The Scorpio Moon question to sit with on Thursday
- How Friday's Venus-Saturn square is going to test worth, rate, or relationship structure in your business
- What the Blue Moon in Sagittarius is asking you to release before Chapter 6 opens on 1st June
- Department check-ins for Fire, Earth, Air, and Water signs
- A Page of Wands card pull for the week ahead
Plus a teaser for next Thursday's chapter opener - THE ANCHOR - where we'll lay out the full operating focus for June 2026.
This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky, not at the mercy of it.

85% of the established female founders I've read for this year sat across from me telling me their business felt misaligned with how they're actually designed to work. Not how they wish they worked. Not how they thought they should. How they were genuinely built to work - at the level of their nervous system, their wiring, their chart.
This episode is the diagnostic underneath that pattern.
I bumped what I'd planned because of a recent client call. She came on frazzled, head all over the place, naming herself as "all-or-nothing" - and what she was describing wasn't all-or-nothing at all. It was enthusiasm-led, energy-led, chart-coherent work she'd been doing for years without having the words for it. She'd been operating beautifully and telling herself a harsh story about it.
She's not the exception. She's the pattern.
In this episode I'm naming the distinction most founders miss - the difference between working against yourself (the day-to-day execution being wrong for your wiring - wrong pace, wrong content cadence, wrong rhythm) and building against yourself (the structural choices being wrong for your wiring - wrong offers, wrong pricing, wrong business model, wrong positioning). Most founders do both. The patterns compound. And the cost isn't failure - it's the energy tax you've been paying for years without knowing you were paying it.
I'm walking through three client cases - completely different charts, completely different leaks, same underlying diagnostic. The depth-wired founder who built a high-volume business. The public-teaching founder stuck in 1:1 bespoke work. The Capricorn-anchored founder launching something new every six weeks. None of them are failing. All of them are paying an energy tax the structure was never matched for.
Then I'm showing you what chart-based business architecture actually looks like in practice. Not "Cancer Moon means you're sensitive." Specific operational decisions about how YOUR business has to be built, pillar by pillar, placement by placement. I share what shifted when I rebuilt my own weekly operating system from my Pisces Rising 27° - six weeks of the first weekly structure I've actually maintained in years, and the Sunday-night dread that completely stopped showing up.
This is the diagnostic episode before Chapter 6, THE ANCHOR, opens next Thursday. June 2026 is the last month before Jupiter moves into Leo and cracks open thirteen months of expansion. The podcast is shifting shape, walking monthly chapters anchored in what the sky is actually doing. Same surfaces. New architecture underneath.
If you've been calling yourself inconsistent, scattered, undisciplined, or "the problem" in your own business - listen to this one.

This week the body is online before the strategy is. Sun, Mercury and Venus stack in earth and air. Mars is freshly home in Aries firing the engine. And Saturday night, two things land within a couple of hours of each other: a new moon in Taurus plants whatever you've been committing to, and Mars hits Chiron in Aries activating the old wound about whether you're allowed to want what you want.
In this week's CEO Operating Brief, Holly walks you through:
→ Day-by-day moves Monday through Sunday: what to do, what to protect, and the one day that matters most this week → Why Saturday is the headline (and the small 9pm ritual that holds the seed) → Why Sunday's Mercury-Uranus breakthrough only lands cleanly if you let the week build slowly → A real client moment from a conversation this week that demonstrates the difference between selling the cohort and holding the longer game → Department check-ins for fire, earth, air and water signs (with the seats they're sitting in this week rewritten by the sky) → The card pulled for the week: the King of Wands - and the anchor sentence to carry with you
This is not a horoscope. It's an operating brief for the founder who's already succeeding and is tired of running her business against her wiring.

Five different women in my client portfolio. Five completely different birth charts. Five completely different industries. All moved through the same architectural shift in April.
In this episode I walk you through what I watched. The pattern underneath all five women. The wound that surfaced for the first time in each one. The body-led signals that arrived before the strategy. And the rebuild I've been doing on myself alongside theirs - including a commitment I'm naming publicly for the first time.
If you've been doing everything right and still feel like something underneath it isn't lifting, this episode is for you.

Your Business, Rewired: free 45-minute workshop on May 21st. Save your spot here: https://hollybray.com/rewired
This week is the week that determines what your business runs on for the next five months - and most founders will walk straight through it without knowing what they walked through.
On Wednesday 6th May, Pluto stations retrograde at five degrees of Aquarius, ending the visible forward-moving phase that's been running since last October and beginning a five-month underground phase that runs to mid-October. What you commit to before Wednesday is what you're building on for the rest of Q2 and most of Q3. What you push externally after Wednesday will keep getting pulled inward, no matter how hard you try to move it.
In this week's CEO Brief, we're walking through the architecture of the week day by day, including:
- The Tuesday move that determines whether the rest of the week holds (and the before-lunch deadline that protects it)
- Why Mars-Jupiter on Tuesday will make every new opportunity look like THE opportunity (and how to tell the difference between expansion and overreach)
- The Pluto station release on Wednesday - what to put down, what to send, what to close
- Bank Holiday Monday's containment move (ten minutes, fits around the kids, sets up the rest of the week)
- Departmental check-ins for Fire, Earth, Air, Water-— the specific trap each element will hit and the move that protects it
- The card pull for the week, and why what you commit to is probably already in your line of sight
This is operational instruction for established female founders building businesses that hold - not horoscopes, not insights, an operating brief.

The foundation episode of Cosmic Business Architecture. For the female founder who's built something real and still feels like the variable in her own business.
You've done the productivity work, the strategy work, the mindset work. You've built clients, revenue, reputation. And underneath all of it has been the feeling that something has never quite been YOURS.
This episode is the conversation that sits underneath everything I'm building right now - the podcast, the workshop coming up next month, Constellation Studio.
We cover the design problem most established founders are running into without realising it, the mechanism behind chart-based business architecture, how your birth chart actually functions as your business operating system, and why what I do is different from astrology readings.
Plus two anonymised client stories - including a 4-planet sales engine one client had been calling "luck," and a year of foundation-laying work disguised as failure to scale.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- The 4/10 capacity week and why your operating system is the variable
- The design problem you can't outdiscipline
- Your birth chart as business operating system
- Story 1: the 4-planet sales engine she'd been calling luck
- Story 2: Saturn in the 8th house and the year of foundation work

This week the sky is asking every founder the same question - and most of them are going to miss it.
Uranus moves into Gemini on Sunday for the first time in 84 years, beginning a seven-year shift in how we communicate and move information. A Scorpio Full Moon lands on Beltane this Friday - the biggest release point of Q2 and the opening of a manifestation portal that runs through the Summer Solstice. Underneath it all, we're still in Taurus Season, still in build mode.
Which means this week is the hinge. Release what isn't yours, then rebuild from what is.
In this episode I map every day of the week operationally - Monday's containment work, Tuesday's Venus-Pluto conversation window, Wednesday's diagnostic exercise, Thursday's Full Moon prep, Friday's release, Saturday's integration, and Sunday's priority-setting for what comes next. Plus the question I want you sitting with all week: what am I still running in my business that was never built for me?
Not what's broken. The parts that are running smoothly on someone else's operating system and costing you to maintain.
Free companion workbook available - every day of the week mapped out with its morning question, its move, what to protect yourself from, and the exercises for Friday's release and Sunday's direction-setting.

_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> This isn't a normal episode. I'm recording it from inside the biggest launch week of my business - and the biggest transit of my chart in over a decade - and I wanted to talk to you honestly about what it's actually like to live inside a chart working on you in real time.
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> I'm Holly Bray (Astro-Systems Strategist and creator of the Constellation Method), and this episode is a live, unresolved, thinking-out-loud conversation about what happens when the strategy your chart is asking for and the strategy the internet is telling you to run are two different things.
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> In this episode:
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> * What it actually feels like in the body when a major transit is working through you (spoiler: your body knows before your brain does)
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> * Why I'm launching the biggest offer I've ever built behind the scenes - and why that's not smaller, it's specific
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> * The difference between reading your chart and living in conversation with it
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> * Why generic astrology advice - even good advice - isn't the instruction for you until it's been filtered through your specific wiring
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> * What I'm sitting with, what I'm not resolving, and the line I keep coming back to: the instruction isn't in the transit, it's in the conversation between the transit and your chart
_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> If you're a founder who's ever tried to map your business to your birth chart and wondered why the generic transit advice didn't quite fit, this one's for you.

This is the week the season changes, the worth conversation completes, and seven years of disruption finally ends.
On Monday the Sun moves into Taurus and Mercury hands you the sharpest communication energy of the month before the pace shifts. Use it. Then Thursday April 24th arrives - Venus meets Uranus at the very last degree of Taurus and a seven year cycle around what you charge, what you ask for, and what you believe your work deserves completes. Most founders will walk straight through it without knowing what's happening. This episode makes sure you don't.
In this week's CEO Operating Brief I'm walking you through every single day - what the energy is asking, what to do with it, what to protect yourself from, and exactly how to arrive at Thursday ready rather than caught off guard. Plus what Uranus moving into Gemini on Sunday actually means for the next seven years of your business.
The free CEO Operating Guide for this week is in the show notes - every day mapped out, the Thursday worth exercise, the two year commitment framework. Grab it before Monday.

This episode is your complete CEO Operating Brief for Taurus season 2026, and if you're arriving into this season with momentum that's starting to feel strange, a slowdown you didn't plan for, or a quiet question underneath everything that asks "is what I built actually solid?" - this is the episode you need.
Taurus season isn't asking you to stop. It's asking you to build something that will still be standing when the dust settles. And this season carries more weight than most - Uranus has been in Taurus for seven years, and on April 24th that seven year worth disruption completes. Whatever has been shifting in your relationship to what you charge, what you ask for, what you believe your work is worth - it has one final activation this season. I want you to be ready for it.
In this episode I'm walking you through the three phases of the season, the four Taurus traps that will arrive wearing very reasonable clothes, the green light and red light dates, and exactly how to work with the energy rather than wonder why everything feels different from Aries.

Last week I sat down to write my clients their Q1 reviews - the full three months reflected back to them, where they started, what shifted, what their chart was doing underneath all of it - and I got really emotional doing it.
Six completely different women. Six completely different businesses. Six completely different charts. And the exact same pattern, every single time.
In this episode I'm sharing what that pattern was, what it means for the way you've been building your business, and the belief that sits underneath every single piece of work I do - the one that watching six founders prove simultaneously made me realise is no longer just a belief. It's a design principle.
If you've ever built something that works on paper and wondered why it never quite feels like yours, this is the episode you need to hear.

This is the episode I've been building you toward all season.
Six major transits in seven days - almost all of them in Aries - and every single one asking the same question from a different angle: what are you actually building and are you willing to be seen building it?
I'm walking you through the full week day by day. Mars conjunct Neptune on Monday delivering inspired action fused with genuine feeling and an exact Venus sextile Jupiter that's one of the best money aspects of the season. Mercury entering Aries on Wednesday giving you the sharpest communication window of the month. Sun conjunct Chiron on Thursday - the authority wound arriving at the exact moment someone is deciding whether to invest in you. The New Moon in Aries on Friday planting the most powerful career intention of the season with Chiron woven right into the seed. Mercury sextile Pluto on Saturday giving your words the depth that Friday's fog wouldn't allow. And Mars conjunct Saturn on Sunday asking the question the whole season has been building toward: did you build with integrity?
Inside this episode:
- why Monday's impulse to act is worth trusting
- the one day your communication is sharpest before the fog rolls back in
- what happens when the wound and the power show up on the same day
- how to set a New Moon intention that includes the mess alongside the vision
- and why the King of Pentacles and the 3 of Wands together are telling you the ships are already on the water.
This is the arrival week. Everything before now was preparation.

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 settling into your operating system right now and the best thing you can do is let them land.
I'm walking you through the full week day by day - including the one moment on Wednesday worth paying real attention to (Mars sextile Uranus at the very last degree of both signs, a flash of insight before the chapter closes) and what it means that Mars enters Aries on Thursday and everything is about to accelerate.
Inside this episode:
- why still weeks do more work than loud ones
- the one day this week that matters most
- how to feel the gear change on Thursday without matching it
- what to release on Friday's Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn
- and the Queen of Swords who fell on the floor demanding to be heard alongside the Knight of Swords - two clarity cards in a rest week and what they're telling you about what comes next.
Come back next Monday for the week of April 13th - six major transits in seven days, almost all in Aries, and one of the most concentrated stretches of the entire season. You're going to want that one!

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 session, falling down the stairs, and the eleven words in a meditation that changed everything. How I went from six years of building against my wiring to sitting down on a Monday morning with a plan built from my actual birth chart - and crying on Wednesday because I was still on track.
If you're a founder whose business works on paper and has never felt sustainable, if you've tried every system and nothing holds when life gets hard. this episode is for you.
Inside this episode:
- why a successful business can still feel like wearing someone else's coat
- three spiritual experiences across two years that led me to birth chart work
- what I found when I mapped my chart against my business for the first time
- and what happened when I took it to clients.

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 this episode I cover:
- Why Venus moving into Taurus changes the worth conversation immediately
- The Tuesday that's more powerful than it looks
- Sun trine Lilith on Wednesday - the wild authentic voice getting a green light
- The Full Moon in Libra on Thursday and what it's asking you to complete
- Why Mercury trine Jupiter on Good Friday morning is the best communication window of the season - and why you should close the laptop after
- What's coming the week of April 13th that you need to be ready for
Plus your element check-ins, this week's card pull, and the anchor you need going into Easter weekend.
Your business runs best when it's built around how you actually work. This week Venus in Taurus is asking you to price it accordingly.

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 discipline. It's not consistency. It's not capability.
It's a blueprint problem. And your birth chart already has the answer.
In this episode I cover:
- Why the Wednesday crash keeps happening no matter which system you try
- The two founders whose stories will probably feel uncomfortably familiar
- What a business operating system actually is - and why yours needs to be built for your specific wiring
- How to start treating your business feedback as data instead of evidence of failure
- What the Constellation Method is and how it translates your chart into an operational blueprint
Your business has been trying to tell you this for years. Today we finally translate it.

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 right before Venus moves into her most powerful placement of the year. Friday is your craft day.
For each day I give you one move and one protection - what to do and what not to do - so you can run your week from this instead of just consuming it.
This isn't a horoscope. It's an operating brief.
Topics covered:
- Why Monday and Tuesday are orientation days not execution days
- What the Wednesday wobble actually is and why it's useful
- The worth wound on Thursday and why you shouldn't pitch from it
- Why Friday is your most important creative day of the week
- How to close the week with data instead of a spiral

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 from any other year, the specific capacity trap that catches founders out every April, how to lead when everything is accelerating, your Prioritise / Park / Protect framework for the season, a timing guide with green, amber and red light windows - including the one date in early April that's your peak green light moment - and how the season lands differently for each element.

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 in Aries season. So the question this week isn't what do I want to achieve - it's what do I want to become. What am I carrying across deliberately.
This week's CEO Operating Brief walks you through it day by day.
- Monday: listen. What has the retrograde been showing you?
- Tuesday: capture everything, move on nothing yet.
- Wednesday: Sun sextile Uranus brings the sideways breakthrough. Follow the unexpected thread.
- Thursday: New Moon in Pisces. Plant the real seed. The one underneath the plan.
- Friday: Sun into Aries, Mercury direct. The door opens. Cross it consciously.
- Saturday: feel the new ground.
- Sunday: Sun conjunct Neptune, Mars trine Jupiter. Let the vision be big.
Plus element check-ins and this week's card pull: Queen of Swords with the Sun at the bottom. She already knows what you're carrying. So do you.
The Constellation Studio is coming.
Your business is a constellation. Plant the right seed this week.
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 on someone else's operating system - and what happens when you stop. Using three of the nine pillars of the Constellation Method (Planning, Marketing & Sales, and Leadership Identity), she shows you exactly how your chart translates into practical, structural business instructions that are unique to you.
If you've ever felt like the right strategy for everyone else just doesn't work for you - this is why. And this is what to do about it.
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 opening up at once, the instinct is to say yes to all of it. Three weeks later you're buried under commitments you made on impulse and wondering why you're exhausted again.
This week's CEO Operating Brief is about choosing where to point the momentum. Not chasing every open door — walking through the right one.
Day by day:
- Monday: Mercury trine Jupiter. The decision clicks. Capture it.
- Tuesday: Venus sextile Pluto. Go deep. Say the real thing.
- Wednesday: Jupiter stations direct. Notice what wakes up. Check where you're pointing.
- Thursday: Moon in Capricorn. One decision. Make it concrete.
- Friday: Mars conjunct North Node. Trust your gut. Move from intuition.
- Saturday: zoom out. Think long.
- Sunday: download everything. Build nothing yet.
Plus element-by-element department check-ins and this week's card pull: the Seven of Swords - strategy, selectivity, and reclaiming what's yours.
Thursday's episode: what your birth chart actually is when you stop using it as a personality quiz. Three of the nine pillars of the Constellation Method. Don't miss it.

Your business is a constellation. When you build in alignment with it, everything holds.
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 planning system for six years. And everything changed.
In this episode I'm sharing the full story - how my second birth cracked something open, why The Organised CEO had to die, and the exact moment I saw my chart as a business operating system instead of a personality quiz. Plus a client story that will hit you in the chest if you've ever been told to dream bigger and your gut said no.
And I'm giving you five questions to sit with this week that will surface where YOUR business is built against your wiring - no birth chart knowledge needed.
Inside this episode:
→ Why your weekly plan keeps falling apart by Wednesday (and why it's not a discipline problem) → The difference between a personality test and an operating system - and why your chart is the second one → What a Gemini Moon, Leo stellium, and Pisces rising taught me about why I was hiding behind spreadsheets → The client who cried on our call because someone told her to aim for £50k months - and what her Venus in Leo in the 12th house actually said about her version of success → Why "whose dream are you building toward?" is the question that breaks people open → Five questions to run your own alignment audit this week - no birth chart required → What's coming next week: your chart as a 9-pillar business operating system

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 week's CEO Operating Brief, I'm walking you through the full arc (day by day) from Monday's audit through Tuesday's release, Thursday's first breath of expansion, Friday's visibility shift, Saturday's one flash of clarity in the middle of Mercury Retrograde fog, and Sunday's reality check.
This week's day-by-day:
→ Monday - Mars enters Pisces. Your action style shifts. Audit what you're maintaining out of habit before the eclipse arrives
→ Tuesday - Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. Name what's complete. Decide. Put it down
→ Wednesday - Let it settle. Notice what's still solid. Leave space for surprise
→ Thursday - Sun trine Jupiter. The first exhale post-eclipse. Ask what you'd build for joy, not proof
→ Friday - Venus enters Aries. Your visibility and attraction style just changed gears. Tighten your CTA
→ Saturday - Sun conjunct Mercury Rx (the cazimi). One flash of total clarity mid-retrograde. Capture everything
→ Sunday - Venus conjunct Saturn. Reality check. Test the download against what's actually sustainable
Card pull: 9 of Pentacles - stand in your garden. What's still here after you let go is enough.
If you haven't listened to last week's Mercury Retrograde deep dive, go back and listen first. That episode showed you the leak. This week's eclipse is sealing it.

Your business is a constellation. When you build in alignment with it, everything holds - especially after an eclipse clears what was never meant to stay.
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 planning, your marketing, and your decision-making - and what to do about it before the South Node eclipse on March 3rd removes what's not working for you.
This isn't fear-mongering. This is a systems audit. And I'm giving you three tools to run it yourself: the Moon Check, the Truth Test, and the 24-Hour Rule.
Inside this episode:
→ What Mercury actually rules in your business (and why "don't sign contracts" is terrible advice) → Why Mercury in Pisces makes your messaging feel slippery and your plans feel impossible → The 3 specific pillars under review: Planning, Marketing & Sales, and Data & Problem Solving → The Moon Check - how to plan for your actual energy, not your fantasy capacity → The Truth Test - how to know if your messaging is strategic but not true → The 24-Hour Rule - the decision-making process for when your head and gut disagree → How to prepare for the South Node eclipse on March 3rd (what to name + release)

This is your complete CEO Operating Brief for Pisces Season 2026 - and if you've been feeling foggy, exhausted, or like you're wading through mud this month, this episode will show you why (and more importantly, what to do about it).
Over the next 40 minutes, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening cosmically from February 18th through March 19th, including the once-in-36-years Saturn-Neptune conjunction, the lunar eclipse in Virgo, Mercury retrograde through the entire second half of the season, and why this month is asking you to plant, not push.
This isn't vague astrology. This is business strategy informed by cosmic weather.
By the end of this episode, you'll know what to prioritise, what to park, and what to protect so you can actually work WITH the energy instead of exhausting yourself fighting against it.
I'm walking you through the three phases of Pisces Season (Softening, Review & Release, Integration & Planting), how to manage your capacity when your nervous system is processing big collective shifts, what leadership actually looks like this season (hint: it's not about being everywhere), and the exact timing windows for when to push forward versus when to pause.
Plus, I'm breaking it down by element - so whether you're a Fire, Earth, Air, or Water sign, you'll know exactly how this season lands for YOUR wiring and what to watch for.
If you've been pushing hard through January and early February and you're already feeling stretched thin, this episode is your permission slip to slow down - and your roadmap for how to navigate the next four weeks without burning out.

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 down the 9 stars your business needs to hold - the constellation framework I use with every client - and showing you the gaps that show up every single time.
We go deep on:
- The star almost everyone skips (Time - and why your calendar is probably fighting your wiring)
- The star people over-build (Marketing - and why it's doing the job of 9 stars instead of 1)
- The star people avoid (Finance - and what your chart reveals about your relationship with money)
The fix? Build the parts you haven't built yet. That's what takes the weight off.

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?

Your business is a constellation. Your chart is the blueprint. Let's align your stars.
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 wiring.
In this episode, I'm sharing: → What I was doing that kept me stuck (and why I couldn't see it) → What I found when I looked at my chart - and what it revealed about why everything felt so hard → The shifts I made that changed everything → The 5 places I scan for leaks when I look at someone's business → How to know if you're building against YOUR wiring
This one's personal. And I think there's something in here for you too.

This isn't a horoscope. It's an operating brief.
Aquarius season 2026 is one of the most loaded seasons I've seen in years - we've got a solar eclipse, Saturn changing signs for the first time since 2023, a Saturn-Neptune conjunction that only happens every 36 years, AND Mercury retrograde. All in one month.
So I've translated the cosmic weather into actual CEO decisions: what to prioritise, what to park, how to protect your energy, when to push and when to pause.
In this episode I'm covering:
→ The theme for Aquarius season and why it matters for your business → What this season is NOT asking of you (spoiler: it's not a push harder season) → Key transits broken down - Full Moon in Leo, Saturn entering Aries, the eclipse, Saturn conjunct Neptune, Mercury retrograde → How to manage your capacity through a heavy transit season → What to focus on by Rising sign - Fire, Earth, Air and Water → The questions to sit with this month

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.

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 hear this right now.
In this episode I'm talking about:
→ Why the strategy you're following might not be broken, it just wasn't built for you → The difference between scaling seasons and stabilising seasons (and how to know which one you're actually in) → What I saw in her birth chart that explained why the "push harder" advice was never going to work → Why wanting a quieter year isn't a lack of ambition - it's capacity intelligence → The one question I want you to sit with this week
If you've been feeling like you're behind already, like everyone else got the memo and you didn't, like you're doing everything right and it's still not clicking - this one's for you.
Your business is a constellation. Your chart is the blueprint. When they match, everything holds.

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 carrying forward?
In this episode I'm covering:
→ The overall energy of the week and why it matters for your business → Day-by-day breakdown - what's a green light, what's a soft caution → How the week lands for each element (fire, earth, air, water) → One-line focus for every sign → The card I pulled for the week (it flew out of the deck)

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 - this episode is about what it really looks like to pivot. Not a clean rebrand. Not a strategy shift. A full identity unravelling.
I talk about the version of me I had to perform before I could drop her. The messy middle that nobody shows. And why 2026 is the year I stop explaining and start building.
If you've been feeling like the old version of your business doesn't fit anymore - this one's for you.

Your first Astro-CEO Board Brief of 2026 is here, and this week has a clear message: rest before you run.
Monday is unusually quiet - no major transits, not even from the moon. Use it. From Tuesday, things start building fast with Venus cazimi, Venus meeting Mars on Thursday, and big expansion energy hitting Friday.
In this episode, I break down:
→ What the sky's doing and what it means for your business decisions → Your CEO Focus for the week (one sentence to anchor everything) → Department check-ins for Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs → Rapid-fire guidance for all 12 signs → This week's card pull - Ace of Pentacles
This week is asking you to start slow so you can finish strong. If you're coming in rested, you're already ahead.

This is my 2025 wrapped - the real version, not the highlight reel.
In this episode, I'm sharing what actually happened this year: the pivot I didn't plan, the moment I stopped performing, and why I finally stopped hiding the part of my work that makes me different.
I talk about what it felt like to let go of an identity that wasn't working, what I learned about building a business that fits my actual life, and why 2025 became the year I started building something that's actually mine.
If you've had a messy, non-linear, "I don't know how to explain what happened this year" kind of 2025 - this one's for you.

This week marks the shift from planning season to building season.
Mars enters Capricorn on Monday, asking you to move from vision to execution. The Winter Solstice on Sunday crosses you from Sagittarius season (exploration, expansion, possibility) into Capricorn season (building, structure, commitment).
In this week's Astro-CEO Board Brief, I walk you through what this means for your business: the daily astrology breakdown (Mars in Capricorn, Sun square Saturn, Venus trine Chiron, Sagittarius New Moon, and the Solstice threshold), specific guidance for Fire, Earth, Air, and Water signs based on your department, and your ONE job this week regardless of your sign.
This week rewards precision over expansion, commitment over consideration, and building over visioning.
Plus, I pulled the Death card - and it's about threshold crossing, not endings. If you've been circling a decision or waiting to feel ready, this is your week to take the first step.

Why do your business systems keep breaking?
You've tried time blocking. Batching. Weekly planning. Content calendars. Some worked for a bit. Most didn't stick. And you blamed yourself.
But here's what I need you to know: You're not failing at systems. The systems are failing you. Because they weren't built for YOUR wiring.
In this episode, I'm introducing myself as The Astro-Systems Strategist, and explaining why overwhelmed founders need someone who understands BOTH operational systems AND astrological wiring.
You'll learn:
- Why generic productivity advice keeps failing you (and it's not your fault)
- How your birth chart reveals your natural capacity patterns
- The difference between building systems FOR your chart vs. forcing systems AGAINST your wiring
- Why "capacity before strategy" is the only way to build a sustainable business
- What happens when you finally stop trying to fix everything at once
If you're an overwhelmed founder making £5k-£15k months, feeling like you're always one wobble away from collapse - this is for you.
Your business is a constellation. When you build aligned with it, everything holds. When you build against it, everything collapses when life wobbles.
Life will wobble. Your business doesn't have to.

This week's astrology is supporting you in stopping the force. Mercury Retrograde, Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer, and the 11:11 portal are all asking: Are you building for YOUR wiring, or someone else's?
In this episode, I break down the week's cosmic energy through a business lens - what to prioritize, what to avoid, and how to work WITH your sign's energy instead of against it.
FIRE SIGNS (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Complete what you started. Don't launch new.
EARTH SIGNS (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Audit your systems. Don't add more.
AIR SIGNS (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Have conversations. Don't force decisions.
WATER SIGNS (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Set boundaries. Don't absorb chaos.
Plus: This week's card pull (Queen of Cups) and what it means for your business.

Why do some business systems work for everyone else but drain YOU? In this episode, I'm breaking down why I use birth charts in business strategy - and why it's not woo, it's pattern recognition.
I walk you through my exact 4-step framework for identifying why certain systems don't work for your wiring, plus three real client examples: the founder who couldn't batch content (Pisces Moon), the founder who needed structure to thrive (Virgo Sun/Rising), and the founder who lost her purpose (and how her chart showed the way back).
If you've been forcing batching, rigid 90-day plans, or "just be consistent" strategies that feel exhausting - your chart probably explains why. This episode teaches you how to build systems around YOUR actual wiring, not someone else's blueprint.
In this episode:
- Why generic business advice fails (and what to do instead)
- My 4-step framework for using birth charts in strategy
- 3 real client transformations (with specific chart patterns explained)
- Why "it's not woo, it's data" when it comes to your wiring
- How to stop forcing systems that drain you

What does Monthly CEO Support actually look like? Not the theory - the reality.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a real client transformation. From October 2024 (drowning, grieving, crying through weekly planning) to October 2025 (£25-30k months, second business launched, speaking on stages, loving her work).
I walk you through the exact structure of a Monthly CEO Support session: the capacity audit, the pattern identification, the accountability that makes implementation actually happen. You'll hear what we cover, how we work, and why this model works when courses and DIY frameworks haven't.
If you've been wondering whether Monthly Support is for you - or if you're tired of knowing what to do but not doing it - this episode shows you exactly what changes when you have someone in your corner who sees the patterns you can't see.
3-4 Monthly Support spots open this week (last spots until January 2026). DM SUPPORT on Instagram if you're ready: https://www.instagram.com/hollybrayceo/
This week's cards pulled TWO Pages and the Six of Wands, which means you're being asked to approach your week with beginner's mind while claiming the victory you've already earned.
The Wheel of Fortune says cycles are turning. Mars trines Jupiter and Saturn this week, Mercury enters Sagittarius, and the First Quarter Moon in Aquarius gives you the cosmic green light to MOVE.
This episode breaks down your mindset anchor (Page of Cups), structure move (Page of Swords), systems action (Knight of Pentacles), and growth energy (Wheel of Fortune) for the week, plus your 5-day action plan to take your victory lap THIS WEEK. Not someday. Now. Book your free 10-Hour Recovery Roadmap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YsOE-H1gnkSnDvDTbpUmXLpixgLwDrGq17E2PFTsT6U/edit?usp=sharing

You think you're too busy to work on your business. But what if I told you you're spending 15+ hours a week on tasks that will never move your business forward?
In this episode, I'm walking you through the Opportunity Cost Audit - a framework for figuring out where your time is actually going, what it's costing you, and what to protect instead.
We'll cover:
- Why busy work feels safer than important work (and how to stop hiding)
- The real cost of spending 10 hours a week on content that doesn't convert
- A case study from a Recovery Call with a founder who was spending her entire 12-hour work week on low-value tasks
- The 4-step framework to audit your time and make strategic decisions about where it goes
- Four reflection questions to help you see what you've been avoiding
This isn't about hustling harder or optimising every minute. It's about seeing where your time is ACTUALLY going versus where you THINK it's going, and then making conscious choices about what deserves that time.
Because every hour you spend on something that doesn't serve you is an hour you can't spend on something that does. That's the trade. And you don't get both.
If you're tired of being busy without making progress, this episode is for you.

You know that thing you've been avoiding? The conversation. The boundary. The painful truth you can see but don't want to face?
This week, it's time.
In this week's 5-Day CEO Plan, I pull tarot for the soul of your business and the cosmos is backing your courage. Mercury conjunct Mars on Monday means your words have FORCE. Scorpio season begins Thursday, asking you to go DEEP. And the Three of Swords showed up as the theme - something hurts, and this week you're finally ready to face it.
The cards: Knight of Swords (clarity through action) King of Pentacles (build on solid ground) Nine of Cups (design for satisfaction) High Priestess (trust what you know)
Your 5-day plan: Monday: Speak the truth you've been carrying Tuesday: Plant new seeds (New Moon) Wednesday: Trust your intuition Thursday: Transform through facing the wound Friday: Build from the truth
You've been protecting yourself from the pain. But avoiding it is costing you more than facing it would.
This episode is for service providers, sensitive CEOs, and multipassionate founders ready to stop building around their wounds and start building THROUGH them.
Listen now for your weekly tarot-based roadmap + cosmic context.

Feeling exhausted by Q4 pressure? You're not behind - you're being honest about your capacity.
In this episode, I'm sharing why the smartest thing you might do this quarter isn't scaling, but stabilising. I walk you through my Audit → Simplify → Stabilize → Scale framework, the psychology behind why we resist slowing down, and a real Recovery Call story that shows what happens when you try to build from depletion.
If you're a founder navigating limited capacity, complex life circumstances, or just feeling done with hustle culture, this one's for you. Plus, I cover what's happening cosmically (Mercury in Scorpio), what I'm seeing on client calls, and how to lead yourself differently this season.

This week's 5-Day CEO Plan is about building from honest capacity, not wishful thinking.
I pulled Temperance, Ace of Cups, Knight of Wands, and Queen of Swords - and the message is clear: you don't need MORE. You need what you already have to work TOGETHER.
In this episode, I'm breaking down:
- Why integration beats addition every time
- How to build systems that work WITH your actual capacity (not the capacity you wish you had)
- The difference between momentum and burnout
- Why boundaries are the real scale strategy
Plus, your Monday-Friday action plan - five simple daily moves (total time: ~55 minutes for the week) to stop being the glue in your own business.
This isn't about doing more. It's about getting what you have to actually work in harmony.
Hosted by Holly Bray, Astro-Systems Strategist and founder of The Organised CEO. I bring psychology, nervous system work, and astrology into business strategy for founders with complex lives.

If you know exactly what you need to do but can't seem to protect the time to actually do it, this episode is for you.
I've had the same conversation three times this week with three different founders. They're not missing strategy. They're not confused about what needs to happen. But the week starts, client work takes over, and suddenly it's Friday and nothing that mattered got done.
Here's what I'm seeing: most founders don't need another system. They need someone in their corner helping them actually USE the systems they already have.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Why you're trying to add systems when you're already at capacity (and what to do instead)
- The difference between structure as restriction vs. structure as protection
- Why this is an accountability problem, not a discipline problem
- How to build sustainable rhythms instead of reactive systems
- The three patterns that keep founders stuck (and what breaks them)
Plus, I share a real client story that shows what changes when you stop doing it alone, and what monthly support actually looks like in practice.
If you're managing perimenopause, caregiving, grief, burnout, or any life complexity that makes "standard productivity advice" useless, this episode will show you there's another way.
Listen if: You're tired of feeling behind, your capacity isn't stable, and you're ready for strategy that works WITH your real life.

This week's cards say you're carrying too much - and the answer isn't better time management. It's putting things down.
I pulled 10 of Wands (you're overloaded), Temperance (integrate what you have), The Lovers (choose what stays), and The Fool (trust the leap). This episode walks you through what that actually means for your week.
No more collecting solutions. No more being the glue in every workflow. This week is about release, integration, and creating space for what's next.
Your CEO challenge: write down everything you're carrying, then pick one thing to drop. Delegate it, delete it, or defer it to 2026. Then notice what happens.

October always hits different. The pressure to "lock in" for Q4, finish strong, and sprint to December is everywhere. But if you're already working weekends and drowning in Slack pings, that advice just adds weight.
In this episode, I'm introducing a new segment: The CEO Briefing - your weekly download on what's happening in the founder space, what patterns I'm seeing on recovery calls, and the signals that should shape how you lead this week.
This week's briefing covers:
- Why Q4 feels heavier than it should (and how to reframe it)
- The "locking in" trend and why it's broken for most founders
- The one-day contract that's eating your whole week
- Where all the energized, well-rested women have gone (and how to become one)
Then I break down three filters that will save you 5-10 hours this week:
- Projects before pings
- Approvals at intervals
- Decision filters instead of daily reactions
If you're tired of telling yourself "it'll calm down after Q4," this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start building the structure that gives you back your evenings, weekends, and energy.

You've hired support. You've built systems. So why are you still holding everything together?
This week's CEO Move is about integration - getting what you already have to work in harmony without you being the constant middleman. I pull Temperance as your mindset anchor, the 5 of Swords for your structure move, Queen of Cups transitioning to King of Wands for systems, and The Moon for your growth mindset.
Learn how to audit where you're the unnecessary glue, document your intuitive processes, redirect emotional fires, and lead from strategy instead of being the first responder to everything.

Most founders think they have a time problem. In reality, they have a decision problem.
In this episode of The Organised CEO, I share Sarah’s story, a brilliant service provider who was drowning in her inbox, convinced she just needed better focus. What we uncovered together was far deeper: she’d built her business around being essential to everything. Even her email became a bottleneck.
You’ll hear:
- Why inbox overwhelm isn’t about discipline or productivity hacks
- The hidden “safety behaviours” keeping you stuck in operator mode
- How to flip your decision hierarchy so projects move first and email waits
- The keystone shift that freed Sarah from months of reactive spirals, in less than 24 hours
If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own version of “email prison,” this episode will show you how one small structural shift can ripple through your entire week.

In this episode, we’ll cover: ✨ How the 8 of Swords calls out the stories keeping you trapped ✨ Why the Queen of Wands wants you to stop tinkering and make one bold move ✨ How The World helps you lighten your load by finishing what you’ve already started ✨ Why Strength is about calm conviction, not force
Plus, I’ll give you one simple CEO Challenge you can take on this week to shift from circling in busywork → to moving forward with clarity.

Relentless. That’s the word a founder used to describe her weeks, and it hit me right in the gut, because I’ve been there too.
If your business feels like constant admin, scattered focus, and guilt every time you log off, this episode will show you why it’s happening, and what to do about it.

You’ll walk away knowing:
- Why your weeks feel so heavy (it’s not just workload).
- The pattern most high-capacity founders miss.
- How to create a business rhythm that gives you freedom, not fire-fighting.

If you’re planning your next 90 days the same way you planned the last, you’re about to repeat the same cycle: overbooked calendar, scattered focus, and another quarter that leaves you exhausted instead of accomplished.

- The 7 Pillars Diagnostic that reveals your hidden bottlenecks
- Why aligning your 12-month goals matters more than adding new ones
- The secret to setting a quarterly theme that filters every decision
- How to actually execute your plan with the 30-60-90 method
- The mindset shift that turns plans into reality (instead of day-30 failures)
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to design a 90-day plan that works with your real life, not against it, so you can reclaim time, reduce overwhelm, and finish the year with strategic momentum.

Content note: This episode mentions mental health, burnout, chronic illness, and briefly references the high suicide rates in the veterinary profession.
Does it feel like all the business advice out there just doesn’t work for you?
If you’ve tried the tips - 5 a.m. mornings, batching, delegation - and ended up exhausted or convinced there’s something wrong with you, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
In this episode of The Organised CEO, we talk about:
• Why most business advice is written for people with predictable energy, simple lives and lots of support • What to do when your reality looks very different - chronic illness, ADHD, parenting, trauma or just a life that doesn’t run on neat routines • Two client stories showing how designing a business around your reality changes everything
You’ll leave this episode knowing that the problem isn’t your discipline or effort. It’s that you’ve been trying to make strategies work that were never designed for the way you live and work. I’ll walk you through how to start building a business operating system that finally fits.
If traditional advice has always felt like trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s life, this one’s for you.

What if your burnout isn't about how much you're doing... but about what it's costing you to still be the one doing everything?
In this episode, we're unpacking the real cost of being essential to everything in your business - and spoiler alert: it's probably way more than you think.
I'm breaking down the three hidden costs you're paying: the emotional toll (decision fatigue, resentment, guilt), the physical impact (sleep issues, chronic stress, burnout), and the massive financial cost (like the client who lost £15,000 in opportunities because she was too proud to pay £100 for tech support).
Plus, we're diving into the psychology behind why we cling to being needed everywhere - and what becomes possible when you finally let go.
If you're ready to stop being essential to everything and start being essential to the right things, this episode is your wake-up call.

Welcome to The Organised CEO era! In this milestone episode, I'm breaking down exactly why traditional productivity advice keeps you trapped as the bottleneck in your own business, and introducing the CEO Operating System that changes everything.

- The 7-pillar CEO Operating System that eliminates overwhelm
- Real client transformations (from 60-hour weeks to 35 hours with 40% revenue increase)
- My complete offer suite designed to take you from chaos to clarity to systems mastery
If you're tired of being essential to everything and ready to start being essential to the right things, this episode shows you exactly how.

In this vulnerable and strategic episode, I share why I walked away from a decade of brand recognition and completely rebranded my business. If you've ever felt like you're operating at a level your current structures can't support, this story will challenge everything you think you know about business evolution.
I dive deep into the moment I realised my brand no longer fit who I'd become, the difference between structural problems and surface fixes, and why sometimes the scariest thing isn't failing - it's succeeding so much that you outgrow everything you thought you were supposed to be.
Key topics covered:
- The client call that changed everything (and why it terrified me)
- How to know when you've outgrown your business container
- The CEO Operating System that transforms chaos into clarity
- Why most people rebrand for the wrong reasons
- The real cost of staying in containers that no longer fit
- How to evolve your business without starting from scratch
This isn't just a rebrand story - it's a blueprint for anyone ready to stop being essential to everything and start being essential to the right things.
Are you overwhelmed not because you're doing too much, but because you're essential to everything, everywhere? In this episode, I reveal the 4 hidden signs that you're the bottleneck in your own business - and why this isn't a time management problem, it's an energetic structure problem.
You'll discover why you can never actually finish your work, why delegation keeps bouncing back to you, and how to transform from being energetically essential to everything into being strategically essential to the right things.
I share my personal story of working every Sunday while 8 months pregnant, and how I built systems that allowed me to take 5 months of maternity leave (twice!) without my business falling apart.
If you're tired of being the person everything runs through, this episode will show you exactly how to build a business that flows instead of drains.

In this special heart-to-heart episode of Busy to Boss, I’m sharing the story behind the season that changed everything. After stepping away from my business for four months, I returned with more clarity than I expected, and more questions, too. This is a real-time glimpse into what it looks like to rebuild your business after having to take a step back, slow down to speed up, and start anchoring sustainable growth from the inside out.
We’ll talk about the messy middle that so many entrepreneurs find themselves in - that space between “I can’t do it like this anymore” and “I’m not sure what’s next.” You’ll hear how I moved through mental health recovery, navigated business and motherhood, and redefined my version of success with systems that support my actual life, not just my to-do list.
Whether you’re feeling off-track, emotionally overloaded, or simply craving more stability and clarity in your business, this episode is for you.
We’re talking business clarity after a break, intuitive business growth, entrepreneurship and chronic capacity shifts, the real cost of building without systems, and the quiet power of making space for what’s next.
✨ This is for you if you’re exploring what sustainable success really looks like - through systems, slow momentum, and the courage to choose differently.
If today’s episode resonated, I’d love to know. DM me over on Instagram and let me know what part landed or simply share this episode with a friend who’s in their own messy middle.
We’re doing business differently now. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Happy August! We are officially in the second month of Q3. In this week's episode, I wanted to continue with the theme of walking you through some of my best strategies to be thinking about as we continue through the summer.
So many of us can see summer as "quiet". Our clients might be away on holiday, their kids might be out of school, they're out of their usual routine and we start to get this feeling of, "no one is paying attention right now - maybe I should press pause on the business and then pick up when autumn comes."
Sassy Holly is here to tell you... NO! That is NOT the best approach for anyone who is serious about maintaining and building that momentum in their business.
And even if summer is a little bit quieter for you and you don't tend to make as many sales, (and that is proven with data) - I can directly tie the marketing activities that I am doing in the summer months to the results that I get when things start to pick back up again in September.
So in today's episode, I'm going to share five ways you can find that time this summer and how to actually make this happen.
Here's what we cover in the episode:
-
Why a mid-year review is a non-negotiable to help you figure out what you want to focus on over the summer
-
How to set your summer hours (and why reevaluating your values and priorities every season is important)
-
A review of your Weekly Prep Meeting and how it'll help you make things happen quicker
-
The importance of saying "no" over the summer and identifying what's important to you
-
Why to change up your environment over the summer (with lots of examples!)
And spoiler alert before we dive in: there is no finding the time you have to make the time.
Let's dive in and make it happen!

Do you ever find yourself feeling frustrated and unfocused in your business to the point where you know you aren't doing the things that need to be done in order to get you to your big business goals?
This can be especially prominent in the summer.
So, instead of giving you a list of things you can do to "keep up", in this episode, I want to share how you can balance work and time off. How you can take a break without falling behind, and the ONE practice I have put in place in my business that ensures that I'm staying focused and on track towards achieving my goals... even during the summer.
Even if you do nothing else for your business over the summer apart from this, you will be MORE than okay.
We are here to keep things simple and strategic, to create success on your terms. You’re here because you want more freedom, more flexibility, and more impact - you want to be able to create your own definition of success.
But one of the biggest challenges I hear from you is: we set those big dreams and goals at the beginning of the year, but a few weeks or months in, we find ourselves off track. We find ourselves struggling with those shiny objects that keep asking for our attention, begging for our attention, and as a result, we're not getting where we need to go.
Sound familiar? Do you relate to that feeling of sitting down at your desk and just feeling completely unsure of where your time and energy should be focused each and every day?
Well, if that's you, you're in luck because I’ve got you covered today.
The one practice I have that helps me stay focused each and every week in my business is... (drumroll please)... my Weekly Prep Meeting.
Here's what we cover in this episode:
- The purpose of having a weekly CEO date in your business (plus how to carve out the time for it)
- Two major parts of this weekly self-accountability session that mean you can work through this in 30 minutes or less
- The only two metrics you need to track in your business (and how to identify them for you specifically)
- All the steps we go through for the Weekly Prep Meeting, and what tasks and projects you need to be laying out for the week ahead
This episode takes you through this step-by-step (it's truly one of mine and my clients' favourite parts of running our businesses!
To making it happen,
Holly

In this episode, I have another client case study for you, where I’m breaking down how my client doubled her turnover in a year.
You’ll learn more about their results and strategies to make this happen, as well as get lessons to implement in your own business.
I’m going to walk you through how she achieved this using The Focus Method that I mentor and manage my clients through.
What’s so interesting about this is that we worked together to implement this method into her business to generate these results - and we’re about to do the same again for her next level, next iteration, next phase of business which I’ll also talk about!
We’ll dive into:
- How to stay the course when you’re in the “messy middle”
- Why it’s safe to raise your prices (and important to do so)
- The importance of staying true to who you are and what you preach

Welcome back to the podcast! We’re continuing our series around running your business on an operating system so you can generate more sales and visibility in less time.
So far, we’ve talked about where The FOCUS method can take you, what’s currently holding you back from building the business and life you want, and today - we’re going to dive into proven strategies to create a full booked business on repeat.
As a mentor, I am BIG on implementation.
Because being fully booked once is one thing. But sustaining it from there is the biggest difference. Not to mention sustaining a fully booked business while life naturally “lifes”.
There’s also a big different between just running on intuition vs having a plan and a strong foundation.
We want both - the space for creativity and intuition, as well as a sustainable system to grow from.
So let’s dive into 6 proven strategies that can help you build a fully booked business on repeat.
It’s going to be juicy!

Have you ever wondered how you'd set up your business to take 9-10 months off? And whether that would be possible in just 90 days?
If you're thinking this is impossible, it's not.
In fact, my client proved it’s possible, because she just did it herself.
Welcome to a brand new Client Case Study of her my client implemented my FOCUS method to get her business ready for mat leave (as well as lots of other amazing wins along the way)!
In this episode, I'll walk you through exactly what we did as well as the key takeaways so you can start applying them to your business as soon as … right now.

Buckle up, because we’re going to talk about the elephant in the room in terms of what could be holding you back from reaching your next milestone in business.
Last week I really spoke about what is possible for you when you implement my FOCUS Operating System into your business.
But I also think it’s important as your Mentor, to meet you where you’re at.
The FOCUS Operating System has been created based on the 6 most common problems I’ve seen clients struggle with in their businesses.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through each one (using REAL words from my clients), how these might manifest in your business PLUS how to solve each one using a component from the FOCUS Operating System.
It’s going to be a good one!

Spoiler alert - I’m going to be saying pivot a lot in this podcast episode, so let’s clear up the elephant in the room!
If youd have asked me a few weeks ago I would’ve said pivoting was the scariest thing you could ever do in your business.
Now I have a different perspective - I can safely say that pivoting can be the best possible thing to happen to you - when it’s needed. And that last part is what we’re going to talk about today.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 6 signs it’s time for a pivot and because we all love tangible action steps, what to actually do about each one - a small and specific area for you to focus on.
I’m very much in the weeds with my pivot at the moment and what I’ve realised so far is that yes, pivoting can bring you a lot of challenges and self-doubt.
But it also brings a lot of certainty.
Making the decision to pivot is one of the hardest things to do, because you’re the only one who can really make it.
And it’s my job today to guide you in making that decision!
We’re going to cover:
- What to do when your current business doesn’t align with your life (and what alignment actually means)
- How a shift in your identity can encourage you to make a pivot
- Why you aren’t getting anywhere by craving clairty (and what to do instead)
- How to get your creative spark back with your work
- What to do when your ideal client changes
- How to manage when you’re forced to pivot for reasons outside of your control
This is a juicy episode so get ready to make notes!
Keep bossing it,

I have always been so open about sharing how much my business has changed since having kids.
But I haven’t been fully honest with you this year.
And what I’ve realised over the last few weeks?
If I carry on the way I am, there’s only one way it will go.
So because of that, something needs to change.
Not only a complete business restructure and rebrand (!) - but also in my approach thinking.
The big mistake I made is this:
What has been driving everything for me has been “what will bring in money and what do I think my audience wants/needs?”
Vs “What do I feel so called to share? Where do my passions lie? What’s my mission and my legacy? What can I help people with and why am I the person to help them with that?”
This is what my next level looks like.
No more creating offers just because that’s what other coaches in the space are doing.
No more talking about certain content topics because it’s what a business coach does.
I am not your average business coach and I never have been.
And the truth is - I have not been honouring my business in the way it deserves and that all changes now.
A new era of ABOH is evolving.
Do I know all the specifics yet? No, but I’ll be bringing you along for the ride.
And in this episode, you’re hearing it all first.
I’m sharing the specifics of how I’ve been feeling, what I’ve been craving in my business (that I haven’t shared yet), plus what I’ve done so far to navigate through this.
This is your permission slip if you need one.
Let me know what you think!

What would you do with an extra 10 hours a week in your business?
Boss - I’m about to make that a reality.
In this episode, I’m going to share 10 ways you can actually get 10 hours back in your work week.
These are things that have helped myself and my clients, and now they’ll help you to become less overwhelmed, to be more productive and to get more time back in your business, so you can spend your time how you want to be spending your time, rather than your business running your life.
And full transparency - that used to be me. I used to work more than 60 hours in my business each week. I wasn’t getting done everything that I wanted to get done and I didn’t feel like I was creating momentum or achieving any of my goals because I was always putting out fires. I just felt like I was keeping my head above water with the day-to-day tasks that needed doing each week.
Now, I’ve changed all of that so I’ll skip the story and get into how you can create these productivity systems for yourself.
Get ready to take notes!
Keep #bossingit,

Do you have a deep knowing that you’re meant for more? Maybe you know it’s time to expand your capacity or that you’re bumping into an upper limit right now.
I’m going to talk to you about what all that means and use my own experience to share the 3 biggest things I shifted, so you can get some inspiration and advice for what you can do to start to expand your capacity so that you can grow, get out of that plateau and avoid burnout.
We will chat through:
- What my plateau looked like when I first started my business
- The biggest places where I see all business owners get stuck (and what to do if this happens to you)
- Why it’s so powerful to pause (and why so many of us don’t do this)
- The importance of connecting with yourself and understanding what your brain is doing
- Why you need to prioritise discomfort every single day
- How I changed my identity as a coach to help me deliver even better results for my clients
I came at this episode from a different perspective than I originally anticipated so I hope this resonates with you!

Spoiler alert: if you view everything as important, then nothing is actually important.
Let that sink in.
If you view everything as important then you are actually deciding that nothing is important.
So it goes without saying that if you are viewing everything as a priority then you are actually deciding that nothing is a priority.
So what do you do when you feel like everything IS a priority and you just can’t figure out what is REALLY important?
Tune into this episode to learn how to shift your mindset, identify what is really important and start living a life that is more in alignment with your priorities.
We will chat through:
- A couple of definitions that are super important for our understanding of this topic
- My favourite analogy that I love to use when I teach about prioritising
- A refresher of the 5 keys of being the boss of your life and which ones you need to do before you define your priorities
- The 4 steps I use to help me define my priorities for the season I’m in
- A very simple exercise to help you prioritise when you have a lot of big projects going on
I loved recording this so I hope you love it too!

Why do successful people quit their businesses? Perplexing, right?
In this episode, we are going to talk about the paradox of successful people quitting, why it happens, and what to do if you ever face this in your business.
I will walk you through a conversation that I had with my client which inspired this episode, as well as elements of my own story (so this will be a bit of a vulnerable share!)
We will chat through:
- What circumstances led to my client experiencing this
- My experience with fear and shame in my own business and how it led to me wanting to burn everything down
- What happens when shame is in the drivers seat trying to run our business
- How I would coach you through other options/routes to go down if you were my client
If you resonate with this, I really hope it gives you the clarity you’re looking for!
Let’s dive in.

Every business coach talk about prioritising needle-moving tasks and how to achieve more of your goals.
But I have honestly never seen anyone actually break down a proven method for how to figure out these tasks and create a plan around them to help you understand the components of what it really takes to drive sustainable growth in your business.
So of course, I have a FULL breakdown for you - full curtains back, no gatekeeping.
Generating sustainable growth in your business can be overwhelming as you try to balance the vision of what you’re aiming for with the details of what needs to happen to get there.
So I am helping you map out your own gameplan - all with the intention of allowing you to get to where you want to be with ease and without burnout.
In this episode, I introduce you to my FOCUS method, which I teach in The Embodied Boss Collective - my 12 month group program for online business owners who want to achieve more of their goals and increase the completion of their most needle-moving tasks, so they can gain control of their schedule, increase their confidence and generate sustainable business growth.
You’ll learn about the approach to sustainable growth that I’ve found works best, what areas of your business you should focus on to optimise your growth and why this method really works.
We’re going to cover:
- Why “copy and paste” strategies don’t tend to work long-term
- The 5 core areas we cover in the FOCUS method (macro, micro, map, meet & move)
- Factors that make the FOCUS method be super successful in your life and business.
I’ve been so excited to share this with you - I hope you get so much from it!

Boy do I have an exciting episode for you today.
I sat down on a Zoom chat with ALL of my private clients and got them to answer one question:
“How have you taken the strategies & frameworks I’ve taught you and implemented them into YOUR life and business?”
The conversation we had is absolutely transformative.
Every single one of my clients leads a different lifestyle and the purpose behind this was to really show you exactly how my methods and frameworks really can be customised to anyone.
For a real, honest and truly powerful conversation - you won’t want to miss this.
I would LOVE to know your thoughts.

Welcome to the final part of the How To Run Your Business Like a Boss series!
Let me ask you this: are your mornings the craziest time of the day?
We are getting up trying to deal with getting the dog outside, putting the kettle on, taking care of your kids, and trying to get yourself ready and focused so that you can get into work…
But you end up ultimately feeling frazzled by the time you sit down at your desk?
Or maybe the end of your day, you're just collapsing into bed just flat-out exhausted?
Well, Embodied Bosses know that they need to manage their day well. They need to conserve their brain space and energy for what really matters so that they can get the results they're looking for in their life, health, relationships, and yes, in their business.
So in today's episode, we're going to round out this series by talking about how you can run your day like an embodied boss.
We’re going to cover:
- Why a great day truly starts the night before and how to maximise that
- How to personalise your morning routine to suit what works for you
- Other things you can consider to keep your days running smoothly
- What I do to simplify decision making
- The things that could be sucking away your time and what to do about them
- How to choose your Top 3 Tasks every day
- What to do if you start feeling resistance
This is a little bit of a different episode compared to the others in this series and I hope you love it!
Keep bossing it,

Welcome to part four of the How To Run Your Business Like a Boss series!
Running your business like a boss requires strategy. It requires having a plan. It also requires skillfully managing your time and energy each and every week as a boss, so that you are putting your attention on the boss-level tasks that are actually going to move your business forward.
But I know we can get stuck because we all know that the inbox, the admin, the busy work, the day-to-day in our business can overtake everything and become a big distraction.
Then at the end of the week, we realize we have not made progress towards those big rocks, those highest priority tasks that are going to move our business forward.
So in this episode, we're talking about how you can run your week like a boss and make those higher-valued ceo-level tasks a priority.
We’re going to cover:
- What’s a weekly outline, how you use one and examples of how I use my own
- The importance of your Weekly Prep Meeting
- A strategy that I’m ruthless at implementing that helps massively with business boundaries
- Important questions to ask yourself to help you run your week more effectively
- A break down of what your Boss Score is all about & why you need it to stick to your weekly plan
- The importance of the review part of a Weekly Prep Meeting & questions to ask yourself
This is what we’ll be doing live together every week as part of The Embodied Boss Collective and it’s going to be so fun to dive into together!
Keep bossing it.

Welcome to part three of the How To Run Your Business Like a Boss series!
In this episode, we’re diving into part 2 of my Triple Threat Method - the Monthly Prep Meeting. I want to talk about how a monthly practice, a monthly meeting on your calendar to actually build in a feedback loop for yourself and for self-accountability will help so much!
Having a system like this in place for your business means that your plan doesn't just become another Google doc or Notion page that you're never looking at again but is actually a living, breathing document that you are actively using and checking in with to create progress and momentum in your business.
We’re going to cover:
- The check-in process I use for my Monthly Prep Meeting
- What kids of questions you can ask yourself as you look back on the previous month
- The consequences of NOT tracking and documenting things in your business on a consistent basis
- How to check in on your business metrics & revenue each month (without obsessing over them)
- What to do if you discover you’ve fallen behind on your project goals
- The last thing you need to do at the end of your monthly prep meeting
This is what we’ll be doing live together every month as part of The Embodied Boss Collective so I hope it gives you some good insights!
Keep bossing it,

Welcome to part two of the How To Run Your Business Like a Boss series!
If you're anything like me, the new year feels like a fresh start, a blank slate, and a new chance to go after those big amazing goals for our lives and our business.
But if the ups and downs of entrepreneurship have taught us anything, it’s this: our plans need to be adaptable and adjustable.
That's why I absolutely love turning my big business goals for the year into actionable checkoffable 90-day plans - which is what we’re talking about today.
How do you dig in and start creating 90-day plans for more momentum in your business?
We’re going to cover:
- Why 90 day plans are so powerful and the intention behind them
- They 3 key systems you need to have in place in your business (& how to implement them)
- The difference between habit-based goals and outcome-based goals as we map out our 90 day plans
- Questions to ask yourself when it comes to breaking down the action steps for each goal
- How to create a 30-60-90 plan to hold you accountable so you can see real momentum and progress
This is basically like an hour long masterclass, so get ready to take notes!

ICYMI…from Monday to Friday this week, I'll be celebrating my return from maternity leave with an exciting invitation to work together in some capacity… exciting! Day 4 is the best one yet. The Boss Project is back… with a twist! Back in June 2023, I ran the original version of The Boss Project where for 30 days, I asked you to commit to your goals on a whole new level. It was a transformational programme, and way more successful than I ever thought it could be - the feedback was out of this world (see some screenshots at the end of this email). The intention behind this offer is this: we think the biggest results come from making the biggest moves. Sometimes that’s true, but most of the time our success comes from the teeny tiny but ever so intentional compounded actions over time. Last time, the theme of The Boss Project was all about productivity and achieving your goals. This time, it’s ALL about sales and visibility. Monday to Friday throughout February you'll get a daily audio drop PLUS a sales challenge/content prompt to help you implement what you learn. Here's a Google Doc with the info you need - https://docs.google.com/document/d/11hrmJ5SfZ25V2y8kgbAxzVYSN5zwAv_mydYnLBTia8E/edit?usp=sharing I KNOW this is going to be popular. Last time I ran it, it was £44. Today ONLY I'm giving you the whole month for just £24. Here's the link 😈 - https://www.busytobossacademy.com/offers/Qbuq7DB3 See you inside.

Welcome to the first episode of a brand new series of the podcast: How To Run Your Business Like a BOSS!
We’re getting started with a big question…
Have you ever fallen out of love with your business?
You’ll know if you have but it also might disguise itself as other things… it looks like feeling frustrated all the time, things might not be working smoothly, and maybe you even feel like you want to just burn it all down and start again.
Well, good news for you - if you have ever felt this way, it's likely not because you need to start over from scratch, but because you're out of alignment.
Sounds fluffy? Don’t worry Boss - in this episode, we're going to talk about how you can realign your vision with your business so that you can fall back in love with it again.
We’re going to cover three key areas:
- Your definition of success - I’ll walk you through 5 different core areas of your life, questions to ask yourself to measure your version of success as well as examples from my own life (I know you love a concrete example!)
- How to figure out your owner’s intent, so what you want your business to do for YOU personally, what you want it to provide in terms of time, money & energy
- Your whole business vision in terms of the direction you are going in with your offers, content, systems, etc.
This is a jam packed episodes full of lots of concrete examples!
This will help you SO much in getting realigned in your business and when you feel more aligned, your business becomes more fun.
And THAT’S when you start to fall back in love because you see that energy, enthusiasm, and excitement come back.
This is my first episode back from maternity leave - I hope you love it!
Let’s dive in.

ICYMI…from Monday to Friday this week, I'll be celebrating my return from maternity leave with an exciting invitation to work together in some capacity… exciting! Here we go with Day 2 Q1 Success Sprint - a 2-month productivity & accountability group (limited spots!) Click here to join: https://www.busytobossacademy.com/offers/8ZFUBu2j I haven't run a live programme in nearly two years. But this year, that changes. And we're kicking off with a brand new offer - the Q1 Success Sprint. ALL the details are in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17hD66Qh2t65aa3gIXhx8xKrxSiO77fg3QXLvtY52CvA/edit?usp=sharing There will be three core elements to the programme - declare your goals, do the work, and check in on your progress.

It’s the kind of no-brainer low investment that means it’s accessible to everyone - no matter how you work best or what business you run. Here's the link to jump in - there are limited spots with this one! https://www.busytobossacademy.com/offers/8ZFUBu2j/checkout
ICYMI…from Monday to Friday this week, I'll be celebrating my return from maternity leave with an exciting invitation to work together in some capacity… exciting! So let's get going with Day 1… Pre-Launch Planning Bootcamp - originally £497... now £97. The Pre-Launch Planning Bootcamp is the only implementation programme of its kind that not only shows you exactly how to create and execute a pre-launch plan like a boss - but how to get your audience primed and ready for your offer, every single time. I have had MULTIPLE sell-out and successful clients. And so have my clients. You might know the amazing Emma over at Beautie - we worked together for 3 years and she is the BEST example of how transformational a pre-launch plan can be. This programme outlines every single step. It's the ONLY offer where I teach launching in this detail. If you're thinking about enrolling, I promise this will blow your mind. Click here to jump in at the £97 price. P.S. Here's what some clients have said about this programme… "I have tripled my income from my online coaching & now have a business that I love and believe in, as well as the tools and confidence to grow even further in the future." "I launched my first course and sold 18 spots and showed up consistently for the launch. I more than doubled my prices for my 1:1 services and am continually fully booked for the spots I have open." “I had three sellout launches in close succession and have built a beautiful community on Instagram who I love communicating with daily.” “I’ve had my highest income month EVER, the most clients ever and I quit my day job. I also changed my mindset so I now think of myself as a CEO of my business but also as an expert in my niche.”
Next week, I'll be starting my new working routine as a mum of two.
If you'd have told me back in 2019 (when I was a workaholic) that I'd have given birth to TWO children and taken TWO maternity leaves… I wouldn't have believed you.
I've got even bigger dreams now. Even less time. And HUGE plans to continue building this business that gives me the life of freedom me and my family get to have.
I truly believe you CAN have everything you want.
So to celebrate my return from mat leave, and to thank you for your support over the last 6 years… I've put together 5 fun offers for ways we can work together this year!
Here’s the most exciting thing of all: All but one of these offers are completely brand new…
Am I crazy? Probably! But here’s the thought process behind this…
My people (aka YOU) have been asking for these offers for so long… But they either didn’t fit into my business model or launch plan...
Or I didn’t have capacity for them, because my focus over the past 2-3 years has been growing our family & welcoming two children into the world.
Now?
We mean business, Boss. So here’s how it will work...
5 days. 5 offers. SUPER affordable prices...
I'll send an email every morning, Monday to Friday next week AND share the offer on my Instagram Stories. All you have to do is open my emails from Monday to Friday next week to see your invites!
Now here's the thing - each offer will only be available for 24 hours.
So if you spot an offer you want to grab…
Reply back to the email or IG Story with ‘YES PLEASE!' (or whatever you want!)
I'll send you the payment link to secure your spot. Some offers won't have a certain number of spots but some will, so I'll also send an email later in the day updating you with how many spots have been filled, etc.
I still can’t believe I’m doing this - listen in to hear the details about what's available and let's get ready to party next week!

Oftentimes after you've run your business for a certain amount of time, you will always get asked this one question: if you had to start over, what would you do?
As I’ve been gearing up for my launch of The Embodied Boss Collective, I’ve been thinking about the different women I’ve been talking to who want to be inside of the programme and the conversations I’ve been having with my clients, and it got me thinking - what would I do differently?
What would I do if I was my own student sitting here, wanting to join The Embodied Boss Collective to take my business to the next level or pivot or even start over?
So here we are. Here's that conversation. Here are the answers that continued from that thought process.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share if I was starting over today in 2024 exactly what I’d focus on.
I’ll go through what I would differently, what I would do the same, and what I would just do out of the blue that was never even in the mix for me before.
This is going to be a juicy episode so let’s dive in!
Let’s dive in.

A phrase that I say often to my clients, and that is one of my guiding principles is this: if you want big results, you've got make big moves.
This is one of the most common topics of conversation I have with potential clients in the DMs who are considering joining The Embodied Boss Collective this year because we look at, okay, well I'm doing this little thing and I'm doing that little thing.
But then we go through the same motions every single day wondering why nothing is working or changing…
So, Boss - it’s time to make some big moves. But to make big moves, you often have to take big risks. It is simply a requirement as an entrepreneur to take risks.
But rather than me just telling you that you need to take risks, let's actually dissect in today's episode what taking risks means, what safety means, and how you can completely reframe the way that you look at taking risks.
This episode is actually inspired by some of my clients. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that they’ve been asking me way more questions about my journey and how I’ve taken big leaps in my business pretty much every year since I started.
So I’ve almost been dissecting this based on their questions and I had this lightbulb moment one day where I thought oh my gosh, I need to talk about this more. I need to talk about this on the podcast. And so here we are.
I loved recording this episode so I hope you love listening to it!
Let’s dive in.

If you are looking to scale your business to consistent £5k income months this year, this episode is for you.
If you dream big and know that you are meant to do big things, you've got this amazing vision - this episode is going to share some real uncomfortable truths (that aren’t always shared on Instagram), of the things that you are going to need to do and what it's really going to take to grow and scale a business of that magnitude.
What I DO want you to know is that it’s 100% possible. And that's what's so exciting about being an entrepreneur to build a business at this scale.
But a lot of people do us a disservice by making it seem so easy, and we often feel like we're doing something wrong or we're missing a secret piece of information, or just simply are not prepared for what it truly takes to scale a business.
So this episode is the real and raw truth (10 truths to be specific) about scaling to consistent income months in my business based on everything that I have done over the past 4 years, as well as helping countless students and clients scale their businesses to consistent income months ranging from 3k to 5k and beyond.
Let’s dive in.

Happy 2024, happy January, and happy first podcast episode of the new year!
I hope you had a gorgeous time with your loved ones and I have to say - I'm feeling really inspired and pumped up for this episode which is all about getting your ish together.
This is meant to be a little bit of some hard truths - yes Sassy Holly is back for 2024 you’ll be glad to know!
But also a bit of yes Boss, we're in the new year, it's gonna be amazing. It’s going to be better than last year and I’m going to give you some really good things to reflect on.
This is 1000% not another training on 2024 planning because I know you’ve had enough of that by now… PLUS we talked about that topic loads on the podcast, especially in the series that we did at the end of last year.
Another thing we're going to touch on in today's episode is about who is actually making your decisions.
Now, I know what you're thinking: “what do you even mean, Holly? Obviously I'm making my own decisions”. But you might be surprised that it's not you that you want to be making your decisions. So stay tuned.
We've got a good episode today so let’s dive in.

Here we are at our last episode of 2023 - can you believe it?!
The final episode of the year and all I’m going to tell you before you go into this is that this is going to be a classic, Sassy Holly pep talk - she had to make one more appearance didn’t she?
And I couldn’t think of a better way to end the year.
So this is going to be short, sweet and oh so so sassy, so let’s dive in.
This also means that 2023 on the podcast is officially wrapped!
Have a beautiful festive break with your loved ones. Eat, drink, rest, be merry.
I will see you in 2024 when I will be back from maternity leave and let me tell you… I’m coming back with a bang, Boss.

Let’s start off with some good news - more and more women are starting businesses than ever before, which is incredible.
But there's a big challenge that so many women I'm talking to are struggling with.
Most of the information, support, and strategies out there are geared towards those beginner business owners.
But those who are ready to go to the next level? They're feeling pretty lonely. They don't know where to get that next level strategy, where to get that support and where to simply find other women entrepreneurs who are at the level that we want get to.
And here’s a little spoiler for you Boss - being a female business owner doesn't have to be so lonely.
That’s why in today's episode, I want to talk about some observations I have been seeing in the world of women in business, and how we are creating new rooms, new circles for women who are ready to take their business to the next level.
This episode has been sitting on my heart for a long time and the end of the year felt like the best time to bring it to the table.
It’s come about because of the conversations I’ve been having with my private clients and people in my community.
These conversations have led me in this new direction where I'm going from 2024 onwards with what is going to be my new signature group offer, The Embodied Boss Collective.
So I wanted to share with you why I'm truly doubling down on this and on making more space for female business owners in 2024.
Let’s dive in.

Here is the number one reason so many business owners fail to achieve their goals…
They don't have a plan that keeps them focused in implementation mode.
As an entrepreneur, that translates into forgetting to promote your offers, forgetting to stay consistent in marketing, forgetting to prioritise making sales… and then you find yourself trapped again in that feast or famine cycle.
Or maybe you let your schedule just get so completely out of control, trying to juggle all the things that you realise you haven't had any time off in months.
Or maybe you find yourself constantly trying out new things, constantly chasing the dopamine hit, going after the next shiny object, and in turn, wasting tons of time, energy, and money instead of doubling down on what actually works for you in your business.
In our final part of the Your 2024 Gameplan series, we're taking all the insights from this past 4 weeks in this series and turning it into your 12 month gameplan for 2024.
Let’s dive in.

I want to start off today with two words for you: GOAL SETTING.
It seems like an easy enough process. You write a goal down on a sticky note. You put it on your wall so that you can look at it every single day and be inspired about what you're working towards.
But then five months later, that sticky note has gone missing. It is lost in the shuffle. You have no idea what direction your business is going in.
Oops!
This is one of the reasons that goal setting is often a practice that does not work for most people. We tend to only do it once a year and then completely forget about it.
That's why in part four of the Your 2024 Gameplan series, we are going to approach goal setting differently, so that you can create goals you'll actually follow through on.
Let’s dive in.

What would it look like if 2024 was the year that you outsmarted the hustle? The year you didn't have to work 24/7 in order to have a successful business.
I hear from so many women business owners who are just working crazy long hours.
They're doing everything behind the scenes themselves, and then it feels like they're always putting out fires because there's always another emergency they have to deal with.
Boss - panic is not a business strategy.
If your business is constantly in emergency mode, it might be because you're running it by default instead of by design. You're always reactive instead of being proactive.
When you learn to run your business by design, everything changes. Things begin to run like clockwork.
That’s why in part three of the Your 2024 Gameplan series, we're going to consciously design a business that works FOR you in 2024.
Let’s dive in.

All too often I find amazing business owners who are fighting burnout simply because they're spending every moment worrying and thinking about their business.
And with everything we've experienced over the last few years, many of us are starting to feel that burnout. We're starting to feel just this general exhaustion. We haven't had very much fun. It feels like there's always something going wrong in the world, and it starts to really weigh on us.
So I'm here to tell you that no matter what might be happening in the world, we can still intentionally build out our dream life while we are growing our dream business, especially if we just take a moment and get clarity about what we want to be experiencing right now.
In part two of the Your 2024 Gameplan series, we’re continuing to create your 2024 game plan by designing your dream life for 2024.
We're going to lifeproof your business by getting clear about what you actually want to be doing, feeling, having, and experiencing in 2024.
Let’s dive in.

Boss - we are in the home stretch of 2023 which means the Christmas season is just around the corner. For us business owners though, we are already thinking ahead to our big dreams for the new year.
So before you make those plans thought and start scribbling out your goals for 2024 over your morning coffee or your festive cocktail, it's important that you don't just look ahead, but that you also take some time to reflect on your progress this past year in your business.
I know that the last few years have been a challenge and so many of us just want to move forward and to have that fresh start already so we can stay focused on those big dreams, big goals, big plans.
But one of the reasons that so many business owners don't reach their goals is they come up against the same obstacles again and again that cause them to work harder than needed in order to break through to that next level of success in their business.
That is why I'm so excited because starting today, I'm going to share with you a 5 part series called Your 2024 Gameplan.
Over the next 5 episodes, we’re not only going to walk through the same strategic planning process that I personally have used for nearly a decade - but that I have also been sharing with hundreds of women entrepreneurs to help them create a solid and strategic action plan for the year ahead.
By the end of these five short episodes, you'll walk away with a 12 month gameplan that breaks down exactly what you need to be promoting in your business, what you need to be marketing, and what you need to be selling in order to have the profits that you're looking for each and every month.
It's time to turn those big business dreams into a profitable reality.
I hope you are so excited!
Let’s dive into part one.

Welcome to the fifth and final instalment of “The Path to Predictable Income” series!
Over the past few episodes, I have walked you through the first four steps to help you create steady, consistent income in your business, so you can get out of the feast or famine cycle for good.
Now we’re wrapping up the series with the final part of the puzzle.
If you're anything like me, there comes a point in your entrepreneurial journey where your business needs to support you, needs to support your family, needs to support your lifestyle, if you're going to stick with it.
We all got through those startup stages in our business where we knew it was going to be a learning curve. We knew it was gonna take a while to figure things out and to get those paying clients in the door.
But once you're further along and you know this is what you want to do full-time for a long time, your business needs to pay you a real salary.
No one loves to run a business that isn't actually supporting the entrepreneur running it.
That's why in this episode, we're going to talk about how to create that game plan to make sure you have predictable income over the next 12 months.
We want to make sure you have a real game plan for how you're going to move forward and design that predictably profitable business and actually plan for predictable income.
Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the fourth instalment of “The Path to Predictable Income” series!
Over the next 5 episodes, I am going to walk you through 5 steps to help you create steady, consistent income in your business, so you can get out of the feast or famine cycle for good.
Let’s do a little pop quiz…
Number 1: Have you ever found yourself just hustling, hustling, hustling in your business?
Number 2: Do you ever feel like you're doing all the things to bring in new paying clients and customers, but you're just not seeing the results? You're just not getting in those potential clients who are ready to work with you and happy to pay?
Well, if your experience as a business owner has been inconsistent clients and inconsistent cashflow, then I want you to tune into today's episode.
We are going to talk about the biggest leak that might be happening in your business that prevents those dreamy prospects from turning into sales.
This is going to be such an eyeopener if you have been really struggling to have clients and sales come in the doors of your business each and every month.
If you feel like you have been doing all the things and you're just not sure why it's not working, I want you to know this is actually a really simple thing to fix once you understand what's happening.
Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the second installment of “The Path to Predictable Income” series!
Over the next 5 episodes, I am going to walk you through 5 steps to help you create steady, consistent income in your business, so you can get out of the feast or famine cycle for good.
Have you ever found yourself with a family emergency, something that needed your immediate attention and suddenly you had no choice but to completely rearrange your calendar?
Or maybe you just wanted to enjoy a few weeks without worrying about your inbox or your clients.
You love the idea of being able to take a week or two or more off throughout the year in your business, but the same problem exists which is this: if you're not working, you're not getting paid.
I know this is something that's incredibly common, especially for those of you who are value-led service providers. Maybe you're a coach or a trainer or a teacher and you're running your business by offering one-on-one work with clients by offering services.
While that is an amazing first step, it can create a bottleneck in your business where if you're not working, you're not getting paid.
So in today's episode, I want to break down a simple strategy that can start to free you from this time-for-money trap that is pulling you back from being able to take sick days or holidays and help you start thinking more strategically about your business.
Let’s dive in.

Welcome to a brand new series here on the podcast called “The Path to Predictable Income”!
Over the next 5 episodes, I am going to walk you through 5 steps to help you create steady, consistent income in your business, so you can get out of the feast or famine cycle for good.
Here’s something that a lot of my clients and students, when they first start working with me, they have in common.
They say: “I've taken training after training after training, and it feels like I'm constantly shifting direction, I’m going round in circles and as a result, I'm just not getting where I want to go.”
Have you ever felt that way?
You're just continually adding more pieces to the puzzle, but now it feels like you don't even know what that finished puzzle is supposed to look like?
I know that when I first started my business, I didn't know what direction I was going in. I was trying to just figure it out as I went.
And it wasn't until I finally saw the big picture that things started to finally click into place.
That's why in this episode we are talking about the solopreneur’s growth playbook.
This episode is all about sharing the bigger picture. It's like lifting the lid of the puzzle box so you can see clearly what needs to happen step by step to grow your business.
If you want to make sure you're not just wasting time trying out a million different strategies or approaches to grow your business, and you want a strategy that makes sense for YOU - you’ll want to make notes as we go through this episode.
Let’s dive in.

Today’s topic is a little bit personal…
This won’t come as a big surprise to you, but sometimes I can be TOO strategic - I like lists, I like things to be in a certain order and I like to just follow the plan.
So this means I love plans, I love color coding, I am just a really extreme type A person… so incorporating fun and going off script can feel super awkward and stressful for me.
My mindset coach is always reminding me that because I’m so logical I forget to believe in magic and so I thought this would be a great conversation for us to have as we wrap up Q3 and head into the last quarter of the year.
Because when I do infuse fun and magic and playfulness, that’s when I usually have the biggest breakthroughs and I hope that you can too.
Here’s the lowdown of what we’re going to cover:
-
My personal experience with infusing more fun and magic into my business
-
Some journal prompts to help you start to implement this
-
A few tangible action steps for you to round this up (because I know you love those!)
I truly believe in having a plan. And for you to be in business for the long-term you need to make sure that you love what you're doing and that you’re loving the everyday activities you’re doing too.
For me, the long game means enjoying what you do, infusing fun and magic into your business, and also really thinking about how do you want to live first and then work your business around that.
I would LOVE for you to share with me how can you incorporate more fun into the work you are doing - head over to Instagram, pop me a message and let me know.
I think you'll be surprised with how motivating it can be to help you get the results that you have been dreaming of.

Welcome to episode 5 of the Boss Your Q4 series!
Today we’re wrapping up the series with a short guided audio and affirmation pep talk to help you start Q4 in the best way possible.
This is WAY out of my comfort zone, I have never done anything like this on the podcast before… but I thought this was the best way to end our series getting you all prepped and ready for Q4.
This is part of the Boss Your Q4 series specifically, but it’s also perfect to listen to anytime you need a pep talk from yours truly.
Ideally I want you to be sat down and really present listening to this because I want you to feel some of the things I’ll be saying to you.
I promise this will be 5 minutes of your time you’ll be so glad you spent taking that time for yourself and your future.
I would also encourage you to have your journal by your side so that after you’ve done this meditation, you can write down how you felt or anything that’s coming up for you immediately.
So get ready to feel a shift and with that said I will lead you gently through this guided audio.
Come back to this whenever you need a pep talk and have an amazing day ahead.

Welcome to episode 4 of the Boss Your Q4 series!
Over 5 episodes, I’m going to be coaching you on finishing 2023 strong, strategising the rest of the year and me basically trying to help you as much as I can!
So far we’ve talked about how to boss the rest of 2023 with a successful strategy, how to take advantage of the seasons when content planning, and how to plan for an epic Black Friday
That brings us to the fourth installment of this series in which we are going to be talking all about taking time off.
I always have at least two weeks off at Christmas and one question I get asked a lot is: how do I plan for that? How do you take that amount of time off when you are the CEO of your business?
So this week on podcast, we are talking about how to plan holiday time off as business owners. This is a non-negotiable for me, throughout the year but especially in December.
And this is the thing as the boss of your business, you are the business owner, you make the rules, you make the schedule. So there are these seasons throughout the year that we get to plan for to take time off.
Whatever that looks like for you throughout the year, I want to give you the context and thought process that I go through when I am planning to take these bigger amounts of time off, so you can plan for them too.
Let’s dive in.

Welcome to episode 2 of the Boss Your Q4 series!
Over 5 episodes, I’m going to be coaching you on finishing 2023 strong, strategising the rest of the year and me basically trying to help you as much as I can!
For the second installment of the series, we're talking about how to prepare seasonal content in your business.
When it comes to seasonal content, there's so much that can be done and there's so much fun that we can have. So we don't want to be rushing around at the last minute to whip up graphics, to think about promotion and to think about how to leverage the season at hand for our marketing.
That’s why I want to plant the seed during this Boss Your Q4 series so you can get the wheels turning, get inspiration, and plan in advance - so by the time the holiday season gets here, you have a plan.
You know what you want to do, you know what you want to promote, you know what you want to say, and it all ties together perfectly.
Which is exactly what we’re going to dive into in this episode.
Get ready to take notes!

I am SO excited to bring you the Boss Your Q4 series!!!!
Over the next 5 weeks I’m going to be coaching you on finishing 2023 strong, strategising the rest of the year and me basically trying to help you as much as I can!
Now, I get that we are at the end of August, but let me tell you - this is the time to be thinking about Q4.
You don’t want to be thinking about these things in October and November when you are rushing to execute, rushing to plan, rushing to strategize, you feel like you've lost a grip on your goals, you're trying to slow down for the holiday season.
That's not the vibe. You want to make sure that you're looking at these things with enough space and looking at them ahead of time so you can really plan and set yourself up for success.
So to kick things off with the first episode in this series, I’m going to share with you the things that I encourage you to look at for this point in the year.
This is going to allow you to see what’s going on, what’s already planned for the rest of the year and anywhere we need to reevaluate, readjust, and re-strategise.
So get your pen and paper out because you're definitely going to want to write these things down!

In just a month and a half, we will be getting down to the last 90 days of 2023.
So I wanted to ask you a really important question: are you winding down or are you ramping up? Here's what I mean by that.
For some of us, we get to the end of September and we've already decided that the year is pretty much over - the festive season is just around the corner. We’re busy taking part in festive fun or taking kids to all their activities. It's just easier to go with the flow than to focus on your big goals.
But in today's episode, I wanted to talk with you about why right now is the perfect time to start ramping up and laying the foundation for 2024 in these last 90 days of the year.
We dive into:
- A brand new series coming to the podcast from next week to help you boss your Q4
- 3 ways you can simply and effectively make the most of the remaining few months of the year
- The biggest mindset shift you can make when it comes to finding more time
Let’s get ready to boss Q4!

A plan only works if you work the plan, but what if you're struggling to stick to the plan? What do you do when the plan goes completely out the window?
Relatable, right?
Sometimes we're dealing with personal challenges that disrupt our business. Sometimes we have to navigate external challenges that we can't control. Sometimes… it’s both.
A boss knows that the key to sustainable success is a combination of being focused and flexible with the strategic plan that they have put in place.
So in this final installment of the Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success, I'm gonna be sharing with you how you can be both focused and flexible as you navigate new challenges in life and business.
PLUS I’m diving alllll the details you need to know so far about my new offer coming next year.
This is honestly one of my favourite episodes that I’ve ever recorded… I hope you enjoy it too!

Let’s talk about the B word - BURNOUT.
Burnout is a massive problem for women entrepreneurs.
Let's face it, we're not only starting and growing businesses, but we're also raising families, caring for aging parents. We're doing so many different things on top of growing this business.
But one of the key reasons burnout is such a massive problem for women entrepreneurs isn't just that there's so much to do… it's that we don't always have a clear plan for how we are going to show up and run our business.
That's what we are going to talk about today in the second part of the Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success series: the simple, easiest way to help you start planning your most profitable year in your business yet.
We dive into:
- A client case study from someone who has implemented the strategy I’m going to share with you today
- Why strategic planning truly is the missing piece for a lot of people (+ the difference it can make in your business & life)
- The unsexy truth around the only way you’re going to get out of this feast or famine, panic driven cycle in your business
- A refresher of my 5-part marketing strategy
- How to create and implement a 12-month profit plan in your business
Hope you’re ready for this… don’t forget to download the resource that goes with this episode!

Does the word stuck resonate with where you feel like you’re at right now?
There's a big reason why so many women entrepreneurs are finding themselves stuck in their business.
Despite all of the courses, all of the late nights, all of the Googling for answers, they find themselves unable to get past their current level of success, and they're not exactly sure what it is that's going to help them breakthrough to that elusive next level, where they have more revenue coming in the doors, more time back in their schedule and the dream life and business they've been promised.
Well in this episode, I'm diving into why we need to get out of information overload and start getting into implementation mode so that you can truly see the results that you're looking for.
We dive into:
- The real life stats behind what female entrepreneurs are actually earning
- The two types of business owners that fall into this trap (+ how to identify which one you are)
- 3 “excuses” we see from people who are in the top secret entrepreneur lab
- A case study from one of my clients who went from 0 to consistent income in less than 12 months
- How to identify where you are on the business growth spectrum
If you’re ready to get into implementation mode, you will LOVE this episode.

In today’s episode, I am going to take you behind-the-scenes today of some big investment decisions I’ve made inside of my business.
But more specifically, I’m going to share why I kept investing in the same mastermind and the same coach… beyond the income milestones.
I hope this inspires you and ignites something within you to play a bigger game.
In this episode we cover:
- Why you should value proximity (& why it’s important to realise you don’t have to do it alone)
- The importance of community as you grow in your business
- My desire to strive to be a better mentor every single day
- A conversation around integrity, embodiment and practicing what you preach
- How mentorship has a ripple effect on your personal life, not just your business
- The importance of valuing long-term commitments to yourself
I know 1000% that through mentorship, I'm going to be a better human, a better mentor, and everything else that it encompasses to have that community, proximity, support and those high level conversations.
It makes me better in all ways. And when I'm better and I feel better, the income follows, the ideas follow the community, and the impact follows.
So if you've been looking for a sign to join a high level group programme of some kind, this is it!
I highly encourage you to DM me on Instagram and ask me about my new signature offer coming next year.
If you are truly wanting a space to scale your business, but also your personal life, if what I said here resonates with you at all, I urge you to come and DM me, and we can chat about your goals and what’s best for you.

In celebration of my 32nd birthday, today on the podcast I’m bringing you 32 of my favourite money-making activities!
Whenever I do list style episodes like this one (I mean, there are 32 things in here)... this is just a reminder that you are not meant to do all of them right now. Take what feels good and leave what doesn’t.
So many business owners think they’re focusing on income-producing tasks when actually, it’s just busy work.
Your week should always be made up of a blend of these 3 categories. Do that and you can’t not reach the version of success that you desire.
We are going to split these up into the 3 core groups of income producing activities to focus on which are:
Your current clients & customers
Potential clients & customers
Working on yourself / on the business
This is one of my favourite things to talk about and has come highly requested from you, so lets not waste any time and dive straight in.

Get on my VIP list for weekly behind-the-scenes biz updates!
This is a very special (and vulnerable) episode to mark the middle of the year… I am going to be taking you behind-the-scenes of my very own mid-year review.
The reason I wanted to do this is because yes, business is strategic and I want to show you the strategy and techniques in terms of what 6 months can look like for a business and a business owner.
But we’re all also navigating being human.
It can be really hard when we’re watching everyone’s highlight reel on Instagram and we don’t feel like we’re matching up to the mark.
I know that so many of my clients have experienced this this year and I have too - imposter syndrome creeps in, doubt creeps in and we feel so utterly rubbish about ourselves.
And the truth is this: things can change and change and change again… which is essentially the premise of what this episode is about.
Come with me as I walk you through the year so far: the good, the bad and everything in between.
For each month I’ll be sharing:
- A personal update
- A business update
- My summary/lessons from the month
Then I’ll be wrapping up the episode with a quick overview of what’s coming next.
I didn’t think I’d ever share something like this but after I did my own mid-year review I just knew that sharing this would help SO you so much.
I really hope it lands with you the way that I intend it to.
If you haven’t done a deep dive into your mid-year review & it’s something you want to prioritise, click here to download the mid-year review workbook where I walk you through the process.

Welcome to another Tuesday shorty episode!
Today we're talking about numbers: the numbers that you should be tracking to make sure that you can achieve your business goals.
There are things that dramatically impact the end result and it's your job to pay attention to what drives the results in your business.
I see a lot of business owners who just keep throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping that something is going to stick. But the problem with throwing the spaghetti at the wall is that you never know what’s actually working.
If you're trying way too many things and you're not tracking your results, you never actually know when something works and when everything else isn't working.
So I have a question for you...
In your business, could you pinpoint the one thing? That one leading metric that would tell you if you’re the most likely to reach your goals?
If your mind has gone blank... you need to tune into this episode.
Here's what we'll dive into:
- A recent health journey I've been on and how it's such a great example of this topic in relation to business
- How to identify the "leading" metric and "lagging" metric in your business (plus examples for each)
- Why focusing on the wrong metrics could be impacting your mindset & productivity in a negative way
- How the knowledge of all of this will be able to help you reverse engineer your revenue goals
Talking about numbers is never easy, but when you understand this concept you start to empower yourself.
So let's dive in.

Grab your Mid-Year Review Workbook here!
We are officially at the midway point for 2023, so let me ask you this: are you on track with the goals that you set at the beginning of the year way back in January?
If not, have no fear.
We are going to press pause today, do a quick mid-year review together, and determine what's working, what's not working, and how you can move forward and plan for the final half of 2023.
It’s so powerful to make an intention to do this review before the middle of the year comes so you can really hit the ground running from July to December. Plus this is just such a nice bit of quiet time you can use to review and reflect.
This is one of the practices that I feel entrepreneurs often forget to do because we get so in the day-to-day of our business. We're in the weeds: working with our clients, fulfilling orders, growing our business, and we forget that we made a plan, we set goals at the beginning of the year.
But if we're not regularly checking in on that plan, checking in on those goals, then it's really easy to find yourself off track or not even know where you are in relation to that plan that you originally created.
So I want to walk you through this process today of doing a mid-year review and I do have a special download to go along with this episode where you can get a free workbook!
Click right here to get the workbook that goes along with the questions I'm going to walk you through today or you can DM me the word “review” on Instagram and the link to grab it will get sent straight to your inbox.
Let’s dive into our mid-year review together!

What do you do when things get hard, frustrating or it feels like nothing is going your way?
In this episode, we’re going to talk about what to do when you’re in a hard season of your business.
Notice that I didn’t say if it happens… it’s WHEN it happens.
There are hard seasons at every level of your business. It’s not “I’m going to have a hard season in the beginning because I’m a beginner, and then all those lessons are going to be behind me and it gets to be easy from here on out.” No.
We tend to have this idea, this illusion that once I’m a beginner, once I master that, once I’m over that - it gets to be easy from here on out. And that is just not the way it works.
If you’ve been in business for any length of time you have probably noticed by now that there are hard seasons. And I’m not talking day… sometimes it’s months, sometimes it’s years.
So I want to talk about what to do and how to view the seasons when it’s hard because you’re going to face them at every level in your business.
So get ready for a big pep talk, Boss.

But today, we're breaking the rules a little bit.
When most people think about creating next level success in their business, their first instinct is to talk about next level strategies to grow their business, to get more sales, to get more customers - a lot of things that are marketing and sales focused.
However, I have seen again and again that truly creating next level success in your business is more than sales and marketing.
It's about leadership. Stepping into a next level of leadership for yourself, for your clients, for your community.
So in our Tuesday shorty episode today, I wanted to talk around a hard topic and really take a look at how we can step into that next level leadership in our business through one of the most strategic moves you can make...
REST.
I hope you enjoy it.

Get ready and excited for an actionable episode because we are going to be talking about 10 ideas to grow your business this summer, while still enjoying your time off. I mean, that’s the dream isn’t it?
I wanted to record this episode to give you some ideas on how you can continue to grow your business throughout the summer while not feeling like you have to be tied to your computer or your phone 24/7.
It’s a huge value of mine that as entrepreneurs, we are able to grow and scale our businesses in a way that's sustainable, that still allows us to enjoy our life. Everything I do is to help you build a business that truly support your life.
And obviously everyone’s business is different so depending on your type of business, you might have a really busy summer or you might have a really slow summer.
Regardless of where you're at, regardless of whether your business ramps up during the summer or slows down, I know that these tips are going to help you.
Listen to these tips and then instead of feeling like you have to do them all, take just one or two ideas to actually implement into your business.
This will be an inspirational episode and hopefully spark some creative ideas that you can do to keep growing your business during the summer.
Grab a notebook and a pen and let’s dive in.

Welcome to another client case study!
These case studies are where I take a client and we break down a big result they achieved together and this is a slightly different one today, because it's not about a monetary win.
Over the past 3 years, his client is now full-time in her business, she has a steady stream of clients and she’s launched her first digital product with another one on the horizon.
But the one thing she struggled with more than anything was taking time off and this is honestly such a struggle for so many of my clients.
And this year more than ever, she’s been forced to take more time off than EVER.
So how did she go from wanting to work every single minute of every single day and taking her laptop with her whenever she went, holidays and all, to being able to have restful time off with no guilt for not working and unplugging?
Here are some of the things we cover:
- Why leaning into your word of the year is so powerful
- The importance of perspective when it comes to your current reality vs your vision
- Taking ALL the action
- The biggest belief that can lead to guilt-free time off.
We also end with 4 key lessons for you to take away and implement into your own business.
This is a juicy one so get ready to take notes!

I have a question for you, Boss…
With all the different ways that you can grow your business, how do you decide what you should be focused on next?
This is a question I get asked all the time, and I completely understand it.
As business owners, we are overwhelmed with all the ideas, all the different marketing strategies we could implement, all the different branding updates we could make. We're always wanting to tweak and test and create new things.
But what do you actually need to get laser focused on in order to see the results that you want to see in 2023 and beyond?
In this episode, I'm going to break down how to decide what you should focus on next based on three big questions you need to ask yourself.
If you've been feeling like you're spinning your wheels a little bit and you have a to-do list a mile long, but you can't quite figure out how to prioritise where you should be investing your time and energy… you’ll want to listen up.
We are going to go through this quick process to help you decide what to focus on next so that you can get to those results you're looking for even faster.
Let’s dive in.

The ONE thing I talk about in this episode is the one thing for a reason...
It's the one thing I'd focus on if I was starting my business from scratch. The one thing that all of my clients have in common. And the one thing that has got me to where I am today.
I'm going to be taking you all the way back to 2019 when I went from burnout, barely making £2k a month, to booking out my 1:1 coaching programme and scaling my business from there.
And the best part is that this very step actually laid the foundation for every single launch that was to come, every single milestone I hit and that’s exactly the same for my clients too.
So if you are in a place that you are ready to learn how to grow, no matter what stage of business you’re at (whether you’re one year in or ten years in), you are going to love what we're diving into today.

The 30 Day Boss Project runs from 1st - 30th June and the investment is just £44.
Get ready to come behind-the-scenes with me…
I’ve been looking at my numbers and May has been a phenomenal month - a really incredible month for me personally and for the business.
In the last month alone, the business has grown by almost 50% which is just amazing.
Just think about, how open are we to even entertain the question of “what would it look like if I grew my business by 50%, if I doubled the results in my business?”
How many of us are actually available for that within our awareness?
That is what we’re going to dive into today, the strategy behind it, the circumstances behind it and how it can be possible for you too.
Let’s dive in…

We are trained to believe that we should sacrifice everything at the altar of making more and more and more money and being more and more and more successful in one area of our life, while completely ignoring what success looks like for our health, our family, our relationships, our friends, our creativity, our spirituality.
All the things that make us feel like us like a fully evolved human.
So, for day 4 of the Abundant Action challenge, I'm sharing a strategy that has made the biggest difference to my life and business: I call it the weekly outline.
The approach to the weekly outline is understanding that if you don't run your week, your week will run you.
But what I want to do in this episode is to share some tips to maximise the creation of your weekly outline.
People are always on the hunt for productivity tips. We want to cram as many tasks as possible into as little time as possible.
But what if I told you that usually backfires? 🥴
When we overload our schedule and to-do list, we are left feeling burned out and exhausted.
Plus, half the stuff on our to-do lists doesn't get done anyway so... Keep listening to learn 5 underrated tips that will help you actually get more done without losing your mind.
Let's dive in and I'll see you for day 4 of the challenge.

Today we’re going to talk about alignment.
Business owners tend to be an action-oriented group. We get big ideas and dive right in without too much time thinking about it.
When we don't take the time to plan and track our progress, we end up working harder than required. Hello burnout!
According to Brian Tracy, every minute you spend planning saves you 10 minutes of spinning your wheels trying to figure it out as you go.
This is why your Weekly Prep Meeting is so essential - 1 hour dedicated to this per week saves over 10 hours in implementation! And this is what we’re going to be going through in Day 3 of the challenge today.
Your Weekly Prep Meeting is not only the time to make sure you're on track with your business goals, but also make sure these goals are still in alignment with you and your desired lifestyle.
Is your business truly working for you? Is it helping you to have the lifestyle you actually want right now? Or do you feel like you have been put on this hamster wheel of “When I get to this level, then I'll finally have the life I want. When I get to this revenue level, then things will get easier. When I get here, then everything will happen”? If this is the case, you might find yourself getting frustrated, and even starting to wonder, “Why am I doing this? Should I just burn it all down?”
Well, before you burn down your business, I want to talk about how we need to be thinking, making more strategic decisions, and aligning our business to what truly works for us as individual human beings running the business.
Let's dive in and I'll see you for day 3 of the challenge.

There’s a big reason why so many women entrepreneurs are finding themselves stuck in their business.
Despite all of the courses, all of the late nights, all of the Googling for answers, they find themselves unable to get past their current level of success…
… and they’re not exactly sure what it is that’s going to help them break through to that elusive Next Level where they have more revenue coming in the doors, more time back in their schedule, and the ‘dream life and business’ they have been promised.
To get you ready for Day 2 of the Abundant Action challenge, we are going to start by looking at what I have observed with women entrepreneurs who are feeling stuck in their business.
The statistics show that it’s not uncommon to get stuck at a certain level of success.
If you're ready to move from mainenance mode to growth mode in your business, I need you to tune into Day 2 of the Abundant Action challenge because we are going to go deep into:
- How to free yourself from the swirling vortex of overwhelm that's keeping you up at night
- The simplest and most effective exercise to prioritise your tasks
- How to figure out your weekly BOSS score & why it's so important
Get ready for a hack that will change your life.

As we get to the halfway point of the year, this is a great time to ask yourself: Are you aligned? Are you where you want to be?
What are the next 6 months going to create? Who are you going to be in 6 months from now?
What have you done to move towards your goals?
And I mean your big BIG picture goals - how much time have you spent on those this year?
Or has it been another 5 months of going through the motions telling yourself the same story.
Because you deserve to go after your big picture goals and you get to choose to prioritise them.
If this is lighting a fire in you right now, I need you to come to Day 1 of the Abundant Action challenge LIVE on Instagram at 12pm BST because we are going to go deep into:
- How you should be allocating your time
- Why not all tasks are created qual
- And you should be asking the question: what would the BOSS version of you do?
Ready to make the shift from busy to boss? You will on day one.

We’re continuing with our theme from last Friday’s episode and going a little deeper so let me know if this sounds familiar…
You're in the thick of busy season. Your head is spinning. Your to-do list is multiplying each day, and you have this feeling of just desperately attempting to keep your head above water.
If you are in that situation, you're in the right place Boss.
In last week’s episode I shared with you 3 strategies to help you not just survive but thrive during busy season. Now? I’m going to talk to you about how to know what to do, and when.
What do you prioritise, what do you cut, what actually MATTERS?
My goal for you is to walk away from this episode with clarity on what is top priority for you in a busy season versus what isn't.
I’ll give you permission to cut tasks from your to-do list so you can stay focused and peaceful even in the midst of your busiest work seasons.
Are you ready to dive in? Let's go.

I’m going to guess that you clicked on this episode right now because you are feeling completely overwhelmed.
You feel like you’re drowning. You're in the thick of it, it’s all consuming.
Your to-do list is quite literally a mile long with no end in sight.
Everyone needs your attention right now, and you wish you could be in four places at once or even duplicate yourself.
Did I get that right? Yes? Okay, good.
I have been there many times. We are all with you and I think at one point or another, every entrepreneur feels the weight of a busy season - having too much on your plate and not enough time to accomplish everything.
So in today's episode, I’m giving it to you straight and tossing you a life jacket to help you stay afloat in the midst of a busy season.
You’re overwhelmed, you need to solve it and I’m here to help you do just that.
So without further ado, let’s get started.

This episode was inspired by one of my amazing clients…
She’s working on a big project in her business at the moment - she’s gearing up for a launch, setting up funnels and one day she asked me a really simple question: “Holly, this is the situation, these are my two options, what should I do?
And before I gave her my advice I actually threw it back to her and said… “What option do YOU think you should go for? What feels better for you?”
Because I wanted to encourage her to make a decision.
And that’s what I want to encourage you to do in this episode.
We are going to be talking about decisions - making decisions, trusting yourself in making decisions, backing yourself in making decisions… all the things.
There are so many practical things I go through in this episode to help you make decisions and take action faster - so grab a pen and paper, and let’s dive in.

Welcome to another Tuesday shorty episode!
The question I'm answering this week: how are you?
I recently got Covid and it absolutely knocked me out physically AND mentally. At first, I was in a really negative spiral, convincing myself I was behind and that I'd never get to where I wanted to be.
But then something changed.
I intentionally shifted and when I did that, so many good things started to compounding.
So in this episode, I'm sharing:
- What happened when I was forced to rest and WHAT compounded
- How I intentionally made the shift out of a dark place
- Key lessons for you to embrace this new month as your fresh start
I can't wait to hear what you think of this episode.
Let's dive in.

It’s the last tuesday of the month so we’re diving into a pep talk for this episode!
I’m digging into three specific ways you can make your coaching investment back and specifically, I’m going to be walking you through 3 shifts you can make in your schedule to make this happen.
Now, you might be saying, "Holly, are you serious? I thought you were going to tell me to do a launch or put out an new offer, but I just need to change some things in my schedule?" And my answer is YES.
I’ve invested a lot into coaches and masterminds and even to this day, almost 6 years full time into my business, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about any sort of investment.
But here’s what I know. The first big investment I made in my business back in 2019, I joined a mastermind for the first time - in the first month of that program, I booked out my 1:1 coaching offer in one week.
Investments after that have helped to result in a product suite that has generated over 6 figures in revenue.
With my first child I took a 5 month maternity leave and I’m about to fo the same with my second baby.
And it's all because I focused on these 3 things that I'm sharing with you in this episode.
Let's dive in.

Welcome to part 3 of our consistency series here on the podcast!
I have had fairly consistent income in my business since 2019.
Since then I’ve never looked back, and what I loved about that was it felt like I had hit this whole new level in my business.
Now I know this can sometimes feel like a fluke and your mind tells you it’s “not going to last”.
And sometimes, what I've noticed for a lot of my clients is it feels like it came off the back of a lot of really wonderful circumstances that came together and aligned.
But then you wonder, okay, now I’ve got here how do I sustain that?
Because what I see happen is, people hit their monthly income goal and then feel tired, need to take a break, pull back and rest. Then they’ll go again in a couple of months.
So what ends up happening is this cycle of big months and dips, big months and then dips, big months and dips.
This episode is going to be speaking to ALL of that…
But additionally it's gonna be very specific about the five shifts that we need to make to hit those consistent income months, but also to sustain them and to really be able to maintain that type of business.
We want your income to be recurring, consistent and grounded in your business and these 5 shifts are going to help you do just that.
Let’s dive in.

A little pop quiz - do you know 3 of the key elements in running a successful, sustainable, online business? Let me tell you:
- Bringing in sales consistently
- Bringing in consistent leads
- Scaling your revenue
I also know that this is what a lot of you want and what a lot of you aspire to achieve. Which is why before we move forward and outline what you need to do to make these things happen, we need to meet ourselves where we’re at and look at why our sales are currently inconsistent.
In this episode, you’re going to get 5 of the biggest reasons I see why you’re not driving new clients into your business.
PLUS for each one I’m giving you an action step so you can get to work (you know we’re all about implementation over here!)
Making sales is not rocket science. Making sales is a skill and because it's a skill, it means anyone can learn it.
A lot of these mistakes that I’m sharing with you in this episode are mistakes that are made over and over again - they could SO easily be avoided if you just know what to look for.
You might tick the box next to all five of these reasons or there might be one that jumps out at you - either way, this is going to give you something really tangible to go off.
Let’s dive in.

There has been a BIG theme with my clients this year (and I've seen this with myself, too).
The first three months of the year have almost been like a warm-up period.
A lot of them started off slower than they'd originally planned.
But recently? The energy has shifted.
All the work they’ve been doing so far this year has started to compound, they've started to see that momentum build... and now they're seeing it in their reality.
I always say that the business you have today is the result of the work you did 3-6 months ago.
And these 5 client case studies that I'm sharing in this episode are proof of that.
For each client I'm going to read out their win (which all vary), and then I'm going to pick out 1-2 things that we really focused on together to make this happen.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have 5 actionable areas of focus to walk away with from 5 different business owners.
Sound good? Good!
Let's dive in.

When I get asked how I got to where I am today, my answer is usually a combination of a few things. But two of them are always strategy and consistency… as in you have to have a super clear picture of where you are going AND you need to be ridiculously consistent.
I can FEEL you rolling your eyes at me right now at the moment of the C word…
When I say the word “consistency”, people either have one of two reactions: they get super excited and think “yes, I can do this!” OR they think “I don’t want to hear this again” and that’s where the eye roll comes in.
The reason I say this is because I used to be the person that rolled my eyes when somebody would tell me to be more consistent. I would think, “I’m already working so much, how can I possibly be more consistent?”
Fast forward to now? Consistency is a part of who I am. It’s a part of my identity. It’s a non-negotiable for me.
And in this episode, I’m going to teach you how you can get to this place too.
We’re going to cover three main buckets:
- What consistency actually means (and what it looks like)
- The “secrets” of consistency
- Real-life examples of how you can be ridiculously consistent
Get ready, Boss. After listening to this, consistency will be your middle name.
Let’s dive in.

That's why I'm answering this listener's question about it!

If Q1 hasn’t gone quite to plan, you are in the right place.
This isn’t going to be a mindset episode - nope, we’ve been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt.
Instead, we’re going to get into real quick actionable strategy today because I want you to take action and I want you to move. Sassy Holly is most definitely going to make an appearance today because I know this is what you need right now.
In my experience, it's especially frustrating to not meet the goals you set for the first quarter of the year.
Usually because we have that "just getting started" energy combined with a little "you're already failing!" vibes... but there are reasons why Q1 can feel hard...
And it's not just you that feels this way.
So get ready for a pep talk Boss, because by the end of this episode, you'll feel SO ready to boss Q2.

We are so close to a brand new quarter! Q2 is on the horizon and I know this is a time when a lot of us can be feeling a little anxious.
Maybe it’s because we’re fully in the swing of things with the year now - you’ve had 3 months to find your feet and get started with your goals.
You might be feeling fired up and ready to go or maybe Q1 hasn’t gone as you’d hoped or planned or expected.
Whatever camp you fall in, in this episode I’m going to share 3 mindset shifts you can make to help you boss Q2.
Let’s dive in.

I am SO relieved to be bringing you this conversation today.
A couple of weeks ago, I recently announced over on Instagram that I am retiring my signature programme, the Busy To Boss Academy. And the biggest question I've been asked so far is this...
WHY?
It’s amazing, it’s fantastic, it’s a big revenue stream, it gets amazing results - what was the decision behind that?
So in this episode, I'm going to be transparent.
I'm going to give you the insiders scoop as to why I made this certain decision in my business and the importance of it.
Plus, there's a little pep talk for you at the end.
Let's dive in.

We’re on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and that means I have another Boss Client Case Study for you.
How this client went from 0 to 70+ members in one week.
So in this Boss Client Case Study I am going to be giving you the before and after of this offer and what we specifically worked on together to create these results.
We’re going to be looking at things through the lens of this specific launch and I’m also going to be giving you some lessons and takeaways so that you can go ahead and implement these things in your own business.

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe that my baby boy is turning two!
Motherhood is moving so fast and honestly, all those crazy cliches about time flying are entirely true, especially as a mum watching her baby transform into a toddler.
I wanted to record this episode as a little time capsule for me, and an opportunity to reflect - a chance to listen back and hear the growth and the change that's happened to us and for us, as well as an invitation to pause and share some of the behind the scenes of our lives.
Jacob has taught me so much about life and business during his two short years. By simply existing, he’s transformed who I see myself as and how I want to show up.
Even if you aren’t a mother, I promise this episode will hold nuggets of wisdom for you to glean from my brown eyed curly haired little boy.
Let’s dive in.

Today's question from one of our listener's is: how do you find your feet again after a hard season?
I mean - what a question. I think we can all relate to this.
And what's especially interesting about this question is that I’m going through what feels like a hard season right now - I'm choosing to try and see it as an expansive season - so I feel like I can really speak on this.
I’m going to come at this from a mindset perspective and then a more practical perspective.
My aim by the end of this episode is to hopefully help you start to feel better...
Because when you feel good, you create good.
Can't wait to hear what you think.

Today, I’m talking about a tender topic that I hope completely changes your perspective…
This episode has been a long time coming - we are talking about REST. Good old fashioned rest. Not boiling the kettle, scrolling on my phone kind of rest. I mean real rest.
This is a huge thing for me as a mum, especially because I work 4 days a week and shorter hours, plus I have more time off than I did previously.
But also, this is always a HUGE topic of conversation around my clients.
It’s a big thing they come to for me as their coach, it’s what they want most in the world…
And it’s also what some of their biggest breakthroughs or wins have been around.
So it’s about time it became a topic on the podcast, don’t you think?
Let’s dive in.

Have you ever thought to yourself, okay, I set an income goal. Now what? How do I actually make that happen?
If that’s you, you're going to love this episode.
We are diving deeper into the numbers of your business and the actual map behind hitting your income goal.
The topic of this episode is based on conversations I’ve been having with my mastermind clients recently and I can’t wait to “spill the tea” on what it ACTUALLY takes to map out how you’re going to reach your income goals…
Plus why I’m against good, better, best goals.
It’s a juicy one… can’t wait to hear what you think!

The fatest way to burnout is by starting every single week with a long to-do list and then just chipping away at it every day, hoping you make it to the end by Friday.
This is exactly what I used to do and it was NOT good.
I felt like I was constantly chasing tasks and racing against the clock.
When I decided to take back control and create a weekly CEO schedule, that's when everything changed for me.
A weekly CEO schedule is a foundation for how your weeks are structured. It's something you are setting up in your business in order to really make the most out of your time.
Today, I am dishing out all the juicy details on what my weekly schedle looks like in this season AND sharing the 4-step process so you can design your own CEO schedule that works for your life.
Tune into this episode to learn some tips for creating a weekly CEO schedule that supports you in your current season of life!

Get ready for a REAL look behind the curtain in this episode.
I am breaking down exactly why I decided to pull a huge launch in September 2022.
This episode is going to be a really good listen for you if you are a natural hustler, if you are someone who loves being busy, loves the high of launching something and putting it out into the world…
OR if you're someone who feels this constant pressure to keep up in a world that is consistently telling you to do more, create more, sell more every day.
We are inundated with online competitors, friends and peers who are “crushing” it, and hitting their goals left, right and centre.
And honestly? It feels like if we don't hustle our little selves off to keep up then we are left behind in the dust.
This episode is me intentionally saying NO to the hustle this year. It is me intentionally choosing rest over striving.
So, if that intrigues you and makes you wonder, wait, why? I want to know more about this. I want to hop off the bus of continually striving and chasing…
Then Boss - don't go anywhere and let's dive into this conversation.

It's case study time!
In this episode, I'm going to be walking you through exactly how one of my private clients signed TWO dreamy coaching clients in a week.
Specifically, I'm going to be outlining 5 specific strategies she used to stay consistent and make this happen.
We're going to dive into:
- Creating content consistently (& why more doesn't always = better)
- Posting consistently (& why it's not about MORE followers)
- Showing up as a client consistently
- Taking the right action consistently
- Doing the inner work consistently
There are a lot of powerful takeaways for you in this episode, so get ready to take notes.
Hope you love it!

Are you the person who typically has a million tabs open on your computer and in your brain?
Hey, hi, I’m talking to you!
I’m not calling you out - I am going to help you understand why and how batch working and focusing on one task at a time is going to change your business and your life.
The likelihood that multitasking is actually equaling more productivity in your life is very, very, very, very unlikely.
And while it might feel productive to work on a bunch of things throughout your workday, I can promise you it is affecting your productivity in a bad way BIG time.
In this episode, we're diving into how to get the most out of batch working, because don't you want to work smarter and not harder?
I thought so!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever found yourself in a mental health spiral?
I have been there many many times and I actually think it’s especially common at this time of year - coming back after the holidays and trying to get back into a work routine.
It's hard and I think sometimes we have these expectations of ourselves where we’re just going to be able to jump straight into it but that’s not always the case.
I did a poll on my Instagram Stories s on 1st February and asked "have you been going since January or do you feel like you’re getting going properly from February?"
89% said they were finally ready to get going from February.
So if you fall into that camp... you're going to LOVE this episode.

Raise your hand if you became an entrepreneur so you could have more freedom and more fun in your life... Yeah, me too.
That's why today's lesson is so powerful.
For each 30 minutes you spend per day getting ready to work, you're losing three weeks a year.
What if you could turn all that time you are currently spending spinning your wheels getting ready to work into an actual three week break?

In this episode, we’re going to talk about time.
More specifically, we’re going to bust the myth that doing more = more results.
The main reason we think we’re not getting the results we want is because we either don’t have enough time or we’re not making the most of our time.
This is going to change your perspective. We’re diving into both mindset and strategy, including…
- How more time doesn’t always equal more results
- How you can maximise & improve the things you are already doing
- How to be more impactful instead of just doing more
- How you can make the actions you’re taking create even more impactful results.
Buckle up, because it’s going to be a good one.

I've got you, Boss.
I’m making a lot of shifts in my business this year and I thought this would be really useful to share with you as I'm going through it and making these shifts and changes.
Here are the 4 key areas I'm going into detail on in this episode:
- Removing things that aren't fully in alignment
- Expanding my team
- Expanding my product suite
- Saying NO a lot more
I really hope this serves you and gives you a different perspective!

There are two camps when it comes to goal setting:
People either love setting new goals OR the thought of it stresses them out.
Either way, these people have one thing in common - motivation isn’t always there.
Have you ever gotten to the point where for some of your goals, you’ve lost your motivation? Your heart just doesn’t feel in it anymore?
I definitely have.
And so in today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through some driving forces you do have control over to help you get your motivation and mojo back behind your goals for the rest of 2023
I hope you love it!

If you're struggling or feeling overwhelmed and stuck right now, this is for you.
One of the conversations I’ve been having with my private clients and mastermind clients throughout the start of this year has been around this...
Recognising that sometimes, those big moments of resistance and struggle that we go through in entrepreneurship and why sometimes, the best thing that we can do with those experiences is lean into them.
I've experienced this recently too - we spent Christmas in hospital with my 22 month-old son and it was such a difficult time.
And while I wanted to avoid it and push my feelings away, I’ve since realised after doing some work to pricess what happened that I need to lean into situations like that and expand into them.
So I'm going to share some wisdom and insight around how you can do that in this episode.

After listening to this episode, you will never struggle with setting goals again. I promise.
It’s 2023. It’s a new year. You might have all your goals laid out, you might not have set any, or you might be somewhere inbetween.
The route I want to take in this episode is to prepare you. Whether you’re coming back from a break and looking at your 2023 goals with a fresh set of eyes or you’re setting them now and want some guidance, we’re going to talk about what we do WRONG when we plan for a new year.
I’m sure you’ve gathered that I talk to a lot of people about their dreams and their goals - it’s a huge part of my job!
I see a lot of the same things happen when it comes to people not achieving their goals and it’s usually down to them doing more or more of these 6 things that I’m going to walk you through in this episode.
I hope you love it!

This is going to be the only episode you need to keep coming back to this year.
I'm going to share with you one of my favorite stories of all time which is about the bamboo plant.
One thing I love to do is look for synchronicities when it comes to nature, because the things around us are really symbolic for what we go through in entrepreneurship, business, and life.
And this story is the BEST example of that.

Today's talking point:
I used to think there was no need for something fluffy like a 'vision' in my business – I just needed more clients. For the longest time, I didn't think I needed to know what that would look like. But then I struggled with decision-making because I had no idea where my decisions were leading me. That's when I realised having a vision and powerful intention as your guide for the year is so helpful and important. In this episode, we're going through the steps to cultivating your vision for 2023.

Do you feel like you should have all your plans ready to take action on January 1? It's overwhelming at this time of year - so most of us either end up hiding away and avoiding everything completely, or we try and go full force but end up feeling overwhelmed and burnt out before the year has properly begun. So today as we kickstart a brand new year on the podcast, I want to revisit the topic of prioritising what matters and managing your time in a way that produces results AND protects your peace.

Most people don't just wake up in the morning, with a credit card in hand ready to buy, especially if they don't yet have a relationship with you online. So we want to start the conversation early, and not just the conversation but the relationship.
Grab a notebook because in this value-packed episode, you’ll learn how to tease your product or service so that your audience is primed to buy when you launch.

Thank you so much for supporting Blog it, Boss it Radio over the past two years - I really hope that you will be waiting for me when I come back with brand new episodes later on.
I have a question for you. What do you want for yourself, your life and your business in 2021? It’s a big question, isn't it? Especially after what this year has thrown all of us, this is even more important right now. Now if you know me, you know I am a sucker for New Year's. I love a fresh start.

Welcome to another edition of boss baby talk. So you asked, I listened. The biggest question that I have been getting so far about running my business whilst being pregnant is:
- How are you planning for time off?
- How much time will you be taking off how you plan for that financially?
- Just how...how are you doing it?
It seems huge, it seems so impossible. When you think about it, I bet some of you (a lot of you )probably struggled to take a full weekend off from your business, nevermind a month or two. It can just feel very overwhelming. At the end of this episode you are going to have some really clear takeaways that can help you figure out how to plan to take some time off in your business without getting stressed out or burnt out.

2020 is wrapping up and a lot of people are talking about goal setting and what they want to achieve in 2021... I know madness, right?
Before we even get there, I wanted to touch on something that my Busy to Boss Academy students really love right now: the law of attraction. Mindset is such a big part of the work I do in my business. Yes, my business has grown because of strategy, but also because I use the law of attraction.
This tool, this way of thinking, and this lifestyle has helped me achieve a lot of the things that I thought were absolutely impossible. So today I’m diving into where I start with mindset work.
And surprise: the law of attraction is already working for you.

So in this episode, I want to add to a list of all the things that you can stop doing... the things that really won't make a difference in growing a successful business or being a successful business owner.
I'm speaking from so much experience on this because personally, I have wasted a lot of time on the wrong things. I got into a place where I was just listening to everyone and doing all of the things without question. It’s a dangerous place to be, because people are going to tell you what you should do. I know you have a lot of things in your life and your business that you can free up so you can actually focus on the things that you really want to achieve.
I've learned so much & I've wasted a lot of time, so you don't have to.

I recently went down a time rabbit hole that brought me all the way back to 2013. I lived at my parents, had just started my blog and was working on my Master’s degree from dawn to dusk. I was hustling until 12am to get a blog post out that would get 10 views.
Fast-forward to now, I get over 100,000 page views on my blog every single month, and my business is more sustainable than ever. It puts things into perspective, doesn’t it?
But here’s the interesting thing: I felt just as happy, rich and successful back in 2013 as I do today.
So, the question is why? It’s because money can buy you things. It can buy you freedom and you might be thinking that money can buy you happiness. It can allow you to buy things that make you happy, but money itself doesn't make you a happy person. So how did I build a successful sustainable business before I was 30 that made me truly happy?

I recently had a launch for The Busy to Boss Academy, and I had a conversation with someone who was on the fence about applying who said: “I've invested in all of these programs, all of these courses, I'm listening to all of these podcast episodes, I'm watching all of these YouTube videos, and I'm not getting anywhere, I'm not growing.”
Now, this comes up a lot. And I bet you can relate to this.
So if this is you, this is probably what no one else is wanting to tell you; or maybe you just don't want to hear it... The reality is that you are the only thing stopping yourself from actually succeeding. Because anyone can listen to the experts. Anyone can follow the gurus. But the people who become leaders take action. And the thing that's really difficult about taking action is that you have to get out of your own way.

Now, I know it seems crazy, because we are so used to hearing how we are supposed to work, work, work, because “that's the only way we'll see success or make money.” While working hard is important, I am going to share three secrets with you today that are going to revolutionize the way that you think and approach how you work.
A few months ago, I introduced a system that helped me go from working all hours under the sun, to building a business that fits around my lifestyle (and is allowing me to create more income and impact than ever before).

So you took a leap & handed over a chunk of money to sign up for a program that promises you XYZ to improve your business, or systems, or lifestyle. Maybe your finger is hovering over another online program that you've been eyeing up, and you're not sure what happens after you confirm your subscription. You buy it and then walk.
How can you make sure that you’re making the right investment in your business, and you get back what you put in?
We are going to get into the tools and strategies today to help you follow through effectively on any investment that you choose to make for your business.
- how to know whether an expense makes sense for your business or your life
- steps that it takes to really follow through on implementing all of the lessons
- taking action in a way that makes your investment completely worth it

We live in a time where you feel expected to always take action and implement. With technology so available, we are never without social media, to-do lists, and emails dinging all day long. It's easy to take on the “go go go” mentality, and think the only way to stay afloat is to continue doing more and juggling all the things on your own.
Most people think that there are two steps to managing a to do list
-
writing out a list of everything you need to get done
-
then working your way through it
But you end up never finishing everything on your list -and you end the day feeling disappointed. This episode is going to be all about the pre-work and steps you need to take to make sure that your to-do list is full of things that actually matter in the bigger picture (and that you can accomplish).We're going to go over evaluating your purpose, how to be realistic, what we're trying to avoid, and then how to actually get your to do list on every single day.

Recently I celebrated my third business anniversary, and I've been talking about how I've been more successful in my third year of business than ever before. A question I get about how I scalled my business is:
Do you think your business growth applies to a business owner who's just getting started? And if not, do you have any other thoughts?

It's going to be more of a pep talk to encourage you to stop jumping on the back of new trends and stop doing things just because you're told you should do them.

Today we are talking about a word that not a lot of people like to hear: boundaries. Did you wince uncomfortably just hearing that word? In all honesty, the discussion of boundaries, I can guarantee makes every single business owner feel uncomfortable. Because when you break down boundaries, what does it actually mean?
Well, by its nature, it essentially means that we are putting ourselves and our needs first before others.It doesn't seem natural, we actively try to put everyone else's needs before our own. Putting yourself first is actually a very good thing, and today we’re going to go over how to do so.

In today's episode, I am taking you through a five step process that you can use to start defining your business values. And specifically, your why. Because there is no greater obstacle in life than the inability to make a decision is at the heart of everything you want to do, need to do, hate to do and randomly choose to do.
When you avoid making a decision, you avoid being the leader of your own life. It's that simple.

In the last episode, we talked about how to stay motivated when you have zero motivation. So now you're more motivated, but there's always the chance of that little well-known symptom popping up to just push you back: procrastination.
You know as well as I do how hard it is to stop procrastinating. I get that we all have so much on our plates that it's hard to find the time or energy to do anything extra.
Maybe you come up with so many amazing ideas that get you so excited, but the size or the amount of work involved pushes you away. That list of unfinished projects keeps growing with age, meaning that low confidence starts to creep back into your life. Now I know I'm not painting a very pretty picture right now. What? Don't worry, this isn't meant to be sad and you won't be staying in your procrastinating state for very long. Thankfully, there is a way or two that I've found can help you stop procrastinating and across your unfinished projects with ease.

I am so good at running someone else's Instagram, but I can't get the same traction. I am envisaging on my own Instagram and it's driving me nuts. I feel like I'm missing the mark, but the more I focus on it, the more I feel stretched too thin. Now it’s grown to imposter syndrome because if I can't fix my own channel, then what business do I have helping someone else with theirs?
That is one loaded question, but imposter syndrome happens to everyone.
So I have a tactic that I am going to teach you today that will cure your imposter syndrome. Seriously, your going to be so good, you're going to be selling like hotcakes. You are probably thinking, “wait a minute... Holly, you didn't say anything about sales,” but this step is required to be unlocked before you have the ability to effectively sell what you do.

Today we are going to talk about five ways that you can crank out better content. Every day is trying to crack the code on what it is that people want - so we can bust through the algorithms and get more engagement, be seen and get our emails read and have actual people read our blog.
Today’s talking point:
The main thing I’m working on at the moment is growing my audience & building an email list. Strategies on how to expose your content to more people & get them to opt-in would be super helpful.
Today we’re flipping the script: instead of creating new content 90% of the time and marketing it 10% of the time, we should be working less and marketing more. Last year I created over 50 new opt-ins (ways you can grow your email list, like a freebie). I created a lot of new material, that honestly didn’t need to be made. Today, I am going to show you, from start to finish, how you can continuously share one opt-in.
This year I’m working on prioritizing working smarter not harder & created a plan to get the most out of my existing content. Today’s episode is going to walk you through 5 ways to promote your opt-ins.

Today’s question for the podcast:
How do you manage your time to study and plan the day? Most of the time I invest more time in not so important things.
Batch working has truly transformed my business, but it wasn’t always easy. I was convinced that multitasking was the way I worked. With time, I’ve solidified a plan that allows me to work ahead, efficiently and have time off to truly rest. I promise you, this isn’t too good to be true!

Today’s question for the podcast:
How do you sell, without coming across as “sales-y”?
If your find yourself asking the same question, this is the episode for you. The “PS” strategy is going to help you immensely when it comes to selling yourself online.
Do you remember pen-pals? In every letter, I used to write a “P.S.” and never missed it (it’s the most important part, isn’t it!). Well today, in the digital age and the digital marketing community, the P.S. holds an powerful place in our marketing tactics.

Today’s question for the podcast:
When starting: how do you navigate the need for content in order to get traffic, with the need for traffic to read your content? You can’t get traffic without content, yet it’s hard to stay motivated to write great content while nobody is reading it.
Quality matters more than quantity. To help you do this, I have an AMAZING freebie that you can grab: The Social Media Action Plan.
You’ve probably heard me say this if you’ve ever tuned in but it’s worth repeating – there is nobody literally no one stalking your business, refreshing your news feed or seeing everything that you are putting out into the world the first time you’re sharing it.

Today’s question for the podcast:
How do you deal with overwhelm and overabundance of information? It seems like I have to do so much; social media (which is a monster in itself), creating e-books & courses to earn money, mailing lists, posting regular quality content, lead magnet creation, technical knowhow, affiliate sponsorship pitches. I quit my 9-5 so I would have full time hours to work on this, and I still feel like there is not enough time to handle all of these things – how does anyone do it?
Sharing your story has so much value, especially through social media, using your platform to teach educate & inspire is powerful. In this episode I’m opening up, being honest and vulnerable because I don’t want any listener to have to go through this. Let's talk about how to get over physical, mental and emotional burnout.

Have you ever followed someone you know on social media who is trying to build an audience, add value, and teach and you just notice that this person is much different or better in real life than they are on social media? I've met people that are this way, and there are a lot of reasons for it. Maybe they don't put as much energy into social media or it's not a priority for them.
But for those who are using social media for self-expression, building an audience and creating an influence, you can tell when someone is disconnected from their content. You don't get excited to watch or follow them or read their posts, you just tap away.
The goal is to make sure you're doing everything you can to talk to your ideal clients who are potentially going to be signing up for your programs or courses. You want your ideal clients to actually listen to what you have to say and feel so connected to you that when they meet you they say, "WOW. You're the same in person that you are online." Are you ready? Let's talk about how you can get more connected to your content.

Oh content marketing. It's a strategy we're trying to manoeuvre with grace and ease but behind-the-scenes we're pulling our hair out, spending way too much time Googling things and and agonising over what the best idea really is. And don't even get me started on all the different platforms and the algorithms involved, am I right?
As someone who has educated hundreds of people on how to use content marketing effective, I wanted to take a little time to tell you the 3 bad habits that NEED to stop - like yesterday - because they are hurting you and not helping your online presence. This isn't an episode telling you to do MORE. Instead, it's shedding a light on some bad habits that are robbing you of seeing results with your content. Are you ready? Let's talk about 3 bad content marketing habits that your audience hates.

SEO. Search engine optimisation. It makes many of us want to crawl into a hole and pretend that it doesn’t even exist, am I right? I’m guilty of having done that for the longest time until I realised that it’s not as scary as we made it out to be. Plus, there are some major benefits that can come from simple implementations on your end. Today I want to break it all down and demystify this topic for all of you - it’s time to put some strategy behind our search engine results.
Search engine optimisation basically means the process of maximising the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine. SEO can be a really complex topic to cover (especially on a podcast), so my goal today is to break it down to the basics, tell you where it is best to invest your time on this and to prove to you that it’s not as scary so that you can take action and get started. Even starting out small with a simple strategy can make a giant impact on the traffic that is coming to your website. Because what good is your website if no one knows it even exists?
Let me put this out there though: this blog post is only the outline of this show. To get the full impact of this episode, I recommend reading along with this post and writing down all the specific details to maximise your SEO journey.
If you hit play on this episode, my guess is you already know you need to be doing SEO. So let’s not ignore it anymore, okay?

"Hey friend, it's me, your website. I could use a little TLC." Does just hearing this give you the shivers because you know it's true? Your website is feeling neglected, alone, sad...
I heard a great analogy recently that social media should be the handshake and invitation to continue the conversation somewhere else...and that somewhere else should be your website. I had a great team to help bring my website to life and I'm sharing just what we all did to make it AMAZING.
Today I'm spilling 5 ways you can update your website that will make the biggest impact on converting visitors to actual fans and email subscribers.

Today, I want to talk to you about habits.
I have three habits that I believe will 100% change your life if you implememt them.
But maybe more interesting is the first part of the show where we talk about where habits come from and how they form.
Do you ever stop to think about the things you do automatically? When did you form the habits you have now? Why did they form?
More importantly, what do you do if you don’t like the habits you have? How can you intentionally form new habits?
I talk about how to form new habits by paying attention to the trigger, routine, and reward (this is known as The Habit Loop).
Do you feel overwhelmed by the possibilities?
There are so many things you could do. So many things you want to do (or you're good at).
How do you pick the right thing to focus on?
What happens if you pick the wrong thing?
This line of thinking is a distraction. We're going to talk about how it's impossible for you to pick the wrong thing (this should come as a relief!) and why you need to pick an option and JUST START.
Indecision is the enemy and I am here to help you get unstuck.

You're a creator. You love to create and you love to produce. It could be writing, it could be design, it could be art. Most likely you share your creations through various outlets like social media or your own blog. What you probably don't use is an email list. "Email list? Email is dead though, isn't it?" I don't think so! Did you check yours today? Thought so. Even if you have an email list, I'm going to show you how to not only grow it but also utilise it in a way that will revolutionise your exposure and breed unprecedented loyalty with your audience. Are you ready to invest? Oh yes, it is an investment and no mere one at that. But it's one that's going to give you the biggest return you've ever seen. Are you ready to put in the effort? Let's begin.

Confession: the main problem my clients come to me with is that they struggle so much with creating consistent content for social media.
And it’s no wonder. I mean, there’s just so much to do and so many platforms you “should” be on that it can overwhelm the hell out of people.
And then I talked them through my strategies.
So when my clients found my process for creating a MONTH’S worth of social media content in a day so valuable, I knew I had to create an episode about it.
Instagram is one of my favourite platforms for so many reasons. It empowers us to connect with others, share our own narrative in a creative way, and surround ourselves with community and inspiration. Plus there's always something new to try out - it's a great way to be creative!

Which brings me onto today's episode and a question from a listener on how to beat the follow/unfollow and increase your following. Here are 5 things that will make the biggest difference.

What if you stopped telling yourself you need to be more productive, and instead, focused on being free - to focus, be present, spontaneous, to do nothing. I know. Sounds crazy, right? But that's exactly what I'm tackling in this episode.
