Episode Summary

In this deeply honest episode, Holly sits down to talk directly to the woman who’s feeling the weight of entrepreneurship—and wondering if she should go back to corporate. She knows that stuck feeling and the temptation to quit, because she’s been there more times than she can count.

This isn’t about tough love or endless hustle. It’s about finding your truth, hearing your future self’s perspective, and making sure you’re not abandoning yourself just because it’s hard. Holly invites listeners to pause, reflect, and get honest—because whatever you choose next will shape your future in ways you can’t yet see.

Episode Summary

Let’s get one thing straight: filing an LLC does not mean you have a business. It means you’ve filled out some paperwork—cute, but not income-generating.

In this solo episode, Holly is breaking down the over-hyped question new entrepreneurs love to stress over:

“Do I need an LLC?”

(Spoiler alert: not if you don’t have a client, an offer, or a plan.)

If you’ve been hiding behind legal forms, color palettes, and Canva instead of solving problems for people, this episode is your loving wake up call. Holly shares her own behind-the-scenes story—from getting fired to building a thriving business—and all the unnecessary distractions she fell for along the way.

You’ll walk away knowing what actually matters when you're getting started (hint: it’s not an LLC), and how to finally build momentum with clients who pay you for what you’re really good at.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why the LLC question is just fear in a business suit
• 3 things to nail before you touch legal paperwork
• The spiral Holly went through after getting fired—and what finally moved the needle
• How one client went from free speaking gigs to getting paid well
• The one question that actually builds a business (hint: it’s not about forms)
