Balance Is Bullsh*t: Here’s What You Actually Need

We’ve been sold the lie that we need to “balance” everything… life, business, parenthood, self-care, like a perfect scale. But in this bold solo episode, Holly calls BS on balance and introduces a more realistic, soul-aligned approach: harmony.

Holly opens up about the pressure to do it all and do it perfectly, and why that pressure leads to burnout instead of fulfillment. She shares what striving for harmony actually looks like in real life, how to identify your own version of it, and why releasing the idea of perfect balance can set you free.

In this episode, Holly shares:
- Why “balance” is a harmful myth (and where the idea came from)
- A better, bolder way to think about time and energy
- How to shift your mindset from guilt to grace
- Questions to help you redefine what your harmony looks like

Whether you're building a business, raising kids, or navigating it all at once, this episode is your permission slip to ditch the unrealistic expectations, and start creating a rhythm that actually works for you.
