PROFESSIONAL BIO

Hi! I'M HOLLY!

I'm a business strategist who loves a good plan and flow chart and is crazy passionate about teaching women like you how to build your dream job and scale to 6-figures and beyond without sacrificing your weekends or priorities.

I believe strongly that you can create a routine you love and with the right strategy, product suite (what you are actually selling) and simple systems to create a lifestyle that works and a business that scales without burnout. There is a difference between time management and time freedom. Let's work on finding freedom.

After 22 years in corporate strategy work for Fortune 500 companies, I ditched the office to build a business with my husband full-time. (Oh and we did it in less than 2 years, during the pandemic with twins!)

You can usually find me chatting biz strategy on my podcast “Crush the Rush”, raising our girls in Columbus, Ohio, and probably binging Real Housewives or planning our next vacation!

Areas of Expertise

  • → How to scale to a full-time income on part-time hours. Inside my Crush the Rush™ framework: real-life strategies to grow a sustainable business in 10 hours a week—without burning out or dropping the ball at home.
  • → The “Anti-Social” strategy: growing your business without the algorithm. Yes, you can scale without dancing on reels or posting daily. I’ll share how I ditched the social drama and built a 7-figure business through systems, SEO, and offline strategy.
  • → How to build multiple income streams that work together. From planners and courses to masterminds and digital tools—learn the smart, staggered way we’ve stacked scalable offers behind the scenes (and how to do it with your own brand).
  • → . Using AI to simplify your business and serve your clients better. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we leverage AI to create better results faster—for us and our clients—without losing the human-first touch.
  • →  Work-life rhythms that actually work. As a twin mom and former corporate strategist turned full-time entrepreneur, I’m passionate about helping other women create a business that fits their life—not the other way around. Think themed workdays, quarterly family travel, and a strict no-meeting Fridays rule.
