hollahollister I help working moms go from burnt out, frustrated & lacking confidence to focused, happy & thriving! A few short years ago my life was very different. Every day.

I was in a job I thought was my career, but I felt trapped. I was stressed, overworked, unhealthy and just burnt out. On top of that the world was turned upside and a lot of things were uncertain - including my job.. Entrepreneurship was never in my plan, but the snowball of life led me here, and even though I'm terrified I'll screw it up, I show up. I spent years putting work before my family out

of obligation and stretched my budget as far as I could every month. And a $275 product pack purchase in 2021 changed everything. That box opened me up to a world I never knew existed-- a world where I wasn't afraid to say no anymore, a world where I learned that I could be and achieve more than I ever thought possible. I was finally making slow growth steps with intent to become the director of my life. Every decision I have made was crucial in forming the life of time freedom & happiness I have now, and my heart and my talent have been turned towards helping other women thrive in their own space with purpose and direction.

After such an amazing year, I am feeling really blessed with how this year went.

And I am feeling really excited to be building such an incredible community of moms who just want more out of life & for their families.

I love being surrounded by women who just love to work hard, who don’t sacrifice time with their family, who see their value!

And as the 2023 season comes to an end, I am grateful for those who have supported me and my business this year. I love and appreciate you more than you know!!

This journey is has NOT been easy, but it sure has been worth it.

I am one of those people who goes to the salon once a year, if I am lucky..
So you can bet that I go to great lengths to make sure my colour STAYS & looks HEALTHY.

I often get asked by coworkers and friends if I coloured my hair recently, and I respond “no just did a purple shampoo and purple hair masque treatment”

The products are just that good! So here are my tips to Keep Your Blonde Hair Fresh and Vibrant! 💫✨
1) Invest in a high quality purple shampoo and use it 3 times a month.
2) do not wash your hair for as long as possible after your salon visit.
3) wash with cool water in the shower, the heat will dry out your hair & strip your colour faster.

What are your go to’s for keeping your Blonde hair looking fresh?

Happy 9 years to us!!
So grateful to have someone as kind, thoughtful and weird as me in my life.

Being away from my family is not easy, but you make it better. You truly are my better half, and the one I see in every aspect of my life.

You are an amazing dad & treat my kids like your own & for that I am eternally grateful.

I love you so much .kelly & I look forward to many more years together and maybe a Vancouver Island wedding someday 😜

There are few words to express how hard it is to leave today.
Being around my family again after 4 years of not seeing them, has been nothing short but amazing.
Everyone came together to help make our trip absolutely incredible.
My sister, her partner opened up their home for us.
My other sister let us borrow her vehicle the entire time we were here.
Both my mamas made sure to have lots of nights where we were able to come over for dinner.
I am soo blessed to have such an amazing, loving family & it pains me to be leaving again.

But I know one day - I will move back here. The island is my home, and the kids even didn’t want to leave.

Such a memorable trip for sure. So thank you everyone for being the Amazing people you are & I will see you soon!

You know your reaching a pivot point when everything seems to be frustrating & overwhelming.
You take out your frustration on your kids, your family - even though your only frustrated from everything at work.
And it’s sucks.. they don’t deserve that & you feel guilty..

This was me over 3 years ago - my job was for the most part easy, I was going through the motions, working 40 hours a week, sometimes more. Missing out on seeing my kids before bed, working all the holidays… you know the usual restaurant stuff. 🤷‍♀️

Until one day I had enough.
I was frustrated & overwhelmed.
I was tired & burnt out.
I felt undervalued & underpaid.

So I left.

I left, because I finally discovered my Values. And I had a support system, a community of people who told me - I was..
WORTH IT
THAT I DESERVED HAPPINESS &
THAT MY KIDS DESERVED A HAPPY MOM

It’s not easy leaving a job, even when things are sh*tty. It takes courage, support & of course the right job to fall into.

But I am thankful that my community was there - I have never felt so heard, seen & valued as I do with these girls.

It’s incredible but finding yourself does to you. You no longer tolerate the BS. You call the shots & you determine your life.

So tell me - what’s one thing, you’ve just been tolerating?

The best part of working & hustling for your dreams - is when you find women along the way who not only support you, but cheer you on & hustle with you.

I don’t know where I would be without my community of women, local & across the globe! - they supported me on my good days, my bad days, my hard days.

They helped my become the person I am today.

Confident
Happy
Excited
Driven
Focused

So thank you to all the amazing women in my life - I love and appreciate you all so much!

If you are a working mama, who is missing purpose outside of work & family - who needs a supportive community. You can find it here ❤️

Recently I was talking to my lovely bf about life & work - as he just started a new career and is loving this new change.

He too, like me struggled with the balance of work/life/personal goals/balancing our family. But he finally was able to make the big jump & chase his passion & next part of his dream.

We were chatting about the next 3 months - our family trip in July we are trying to afford. Me going to school in the fall (again if we can afford it) and balancing my work schedule. And this is what he said…

“Believe me, I know that feeling all too well and making this change although it’s been challenging is completely worth it. Not to say I haven’t thought to myself. What the f**k am I doing? Lol but I’m growing and challenging myself and I think that’s important so you definitely Have my blessing and support”

And it got me thinking - how blessed am I? Are we? And our life. ❤️

To have each other to lean on, during challenging times, the fun time & yes even the sad.

But it brings me to think… it wasn’t always this way. We had a lot of ups and downs. We even parted ways at one point, but here we are stronger than ever.

So it brings me to ask - what blessings do you have in your relationship today? Where have you grown together?

Starting something new is scary, there is a lot of uncertainty, learning & FEAR.

And when I first started promoting my business online - I HATED the idea of having to talk on camera, take photos of myself & share personal details of my life.

I hated it because I feared..

REJECTION

JUDGEMENT

HATE

That people would see what I am doing & think I’m crazy, stupid or naïve & that I would never succeed.

But even though I had these fears, I decided to not let them hold me back. I would take baby steps. These thoughts that I had were all just made up in my own head.

So, I started making videos/content when no one was home.

I shared & talked about things I used and loved, so I could feel authentic and confident.

And I leaned on my community for support.

And TBH I still only ever talk on camera when no one’s home haha - still working on that one.

But all in all - we can let fears hold us back & limit our potential.

You have so much to offer - and if this resonated with you - tell me below!! 🤍

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection & deep diving to think about what truly matters most to me & what I could be doing to better provide to this community.

Social media has changed - it’s become a platform that was once used for connection, keeping up with friends & family - to a screen that leaves you feeling depleted & less worthy.

And I’ve always wanted to be someone who lifts people up, helps women & working moms like me - feel more empowered, driven & happy. While providing the best hair/skin tips to those who have problems with dry, brittle hair & struggle with acne.

Have I always been great at delivering this message - no. But it is going to become a focus point for Me. I am slowly shifting my content & will work on putting out even better content for you. 🤍

So I hope that you continue to stick around & share anything that you finding inspiring, helpful or useful.

And tell me - what is one thing you LOVE & social media & one thing you HATE?

To the mama I once was…

You are no longer having to work every weekend & you no longer have to sacrifice your evenings for a job that doesn’t value you.

You are spending more weekends & nights with your family & you couldn’t be happier. Your relationship is now built on growth, support and love. And every day you are looking forward to new adventures.

I know it’s hard to imagine days where you don’t have to work 9 hours or more a day, to a boss who doesn’t care... But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

As soon as you start focusing on putting yourself first, saying no to the things that drain your energy & putting more value on yourself than others to do to you - things will change.
And most importantly say yes to the opportunities that come your way so you can step into the person you were born to be. It’s not easy now, but trust me give things time & stay strong!

Finally, I’ve taken control of my health… Trigger warnings *death, health & anxiety*

I will start at the beginning.
Over 10 years ago - I lost my dad, it was sudden, it was quick and it was heart wrenching. He got sick with pneumonia and it quickly shut down his body. He died, and doctors were able to bring him back, but his body was not cooperating, and he died again.

Not being there for him & not having seen him in 2 years - I felt awful.. I lost my dad, I felt like a bad daughter & I felt lost. I struggled with my grief & eventually broke up with the father of my kids, because he wasn’t there for me. I began to struggle with my mind & my health.

Fast forward 5 years, anxiety & panic attacks become a normal thing for me. They got worse after my daughters hamster died & I had to tell her… it was a rush of the same feelings, failure, disappointment and grief.
And I continued to struggle through life, never feeling “normal” until it became my normal.
Three years ago I finally got the courage to discuss all of this with my doctor & he recommended I get blood work done. I put this off several times over the last few years & finally did it this year.
I had reached my breaking point. I was tired of being a victim of my circumstances. And feeling like I was constantly fighting my body every single day. Wether that’s my ever changing mood, anxiety, weight and energy levels.
After all of that - I have my explanation. I’ve now learned I have Hypothyroidism, and a lot of things I’ve experience have probably been caused from just a hormone imbalance. Something so small, got to wreck havoc on my life for so long, and I let it.
I should have never let myself suffer for so long, but fear & uncertainty kept me stuck.

So let my story, be a reminder to take care of yourself, talk to your doctor every year & don’t sit on your problems until they become unbearable.

It’s not easy - but I am so much happier knowing what’s been going on & I have the chance to fix it.

What’s a big challenge that you’ve recently had to overcome?

We all experience fear of failure sometimes.
But if I’ve learned anything in this life - is that you will get no where if you don’t even try.
Stop holding yourself back with excuses, stop pitying yourself & start putting in the damn work for the things you want.
Sure, take those days to rest & fill your cup - but don’t stay stagnant.
Otherwise you will loose out on that precious time of being where you want to be.
