Hello Hollis Podcast

Yes you read that correctly, 'A Cottage Cheese Story'. Words I never thought I would say. And yet here we are. I share my journey about my relationship with cottage cheese and how it reminds me frequently about what is possible for myself and how we can overcome self imposed limitations. How many things in life are we keeping away from ourselves because we are pre-determined that they "are not for us" or "we don't like that" or "it's only for others". We tell ourselves incredibly detailed stories about what is for us and not for us and are missing the really key point of "what do I want?" From that place, the possibilities are truly endless. 

Wash dishes with me as I share one of my best hacks for tapping into abundance, inspiration and possibility. Those feelings of lack happen to all of us from time to time and one of my most favourite ways to break out of that is to remember that everything you can see and touch in the outside world once started as an idea, an imaginary, unseeable thought. How magical is that? Dive into abundance and this episode and remember what a powerful creator you are and all the possibility and abundance that is available to you! 

Drive with me! In this episode, I’m talking all about values—why they matter, how they shape our decisions, and how they show up in both life and business.

I dive into the importance of defining your own values, especially when it comes to how you invest and spend your money. I also share why understanding your customers’ values—and knowing when you’re aligned or not—is key to building a business with integrity.

I tell a story from years ago (let’s call it my hair care journey… or lack thereof) and how a conversation with a friend totally shifted the way I think about values. That moment also shaped how I taught values to my staff back at the farm.

This one’s a fun and reflective episode on getting clear about what matters most to you—and owning it fully.

Drive with me as I chat about this idea that the messenger DOES matter, you know we don't have to shoot them - in fact please don't - but know that who says something matters. The source for a message shifts depending on who is delivering it, their experience etc and its why building yourself a circle of well rounded, experienced colleagues, friends and family so that you can go to the right people for the right message!

Make granola with me as I unpack a profound realization: I have a pattern of wishing for minor catastrophes to happen so I don’t have to do the things I don’t want to do or take responsibility for my actions and their outcomes.

While embarrassing to  acknowledge, I know I’m not alone in this. Sometimes, it feels easier to hope for an external disruption rather than face my own resistance and what I am truly avoiding.

In this episode, I share how recognizing this mindset is helping me shift how I approach challenges and be with the discomfort of my feelings instead of wishing them away with external circumstances.

Make granola with me in this episode as I navigate feeling sad, overwhelmed and then guilty about feeling that way in the first place.

As I made granola, I found myself realizing that the process was actually an incredible form of self-care. We often try to boldly label self-care or make it look a certain way—prioritizing aesthetics over how it truly feels. But in reality, self-care is about giving a gift to your future self, regardless of how picture-perfect it looks.

Walk with me in this episode as I share the story of running my half marathon—a journey that turned out to be so much more than just crossing the finish line.

I’ll dive into how completing this half marathon wasn’t just a physical accomplishment but a profound shift in a lifelong part of my identity. I shifted pieces of myself that were decades old and had all sorts of unexpected realizations that came with it.

Join me as I unpack how this experience reshaped how I see myself and what it means to embrace growth, resilience, and transformation. Tune in and let’s reflect on how pushing past our limits can redefine who we are.

Welcome to the Hello Hollis podcast!

This podcast is essentially a running conversation between you and me. Think of it as one never-ending voice note where I share what’s on my mind and what I’m thinking all while on the go and living life. 

What does that mean? It means this podcast is recorded in one take, wherever I am—whether I’m out for a walk, driving in the car, or cooking dinner. You get to come along for the ride, listen in, and chat with me—well, actually, I get to chat with you, and you get to listen, but you get the idea.

It’s unfiltered, unedited, and raw—one-sided conversations where I share thoughts on entrepreneurship, lifestyle, parenting, personal and professional growth, and everything in between.

This is a little intro to who I am and a bit more about me!

I can’t wait for you to tune in to these voice notes from the entrepreneurship coach (me!) you didn’t know you needed!
