Where Did She Go?
February 08, 2021 05:00 - 8 minutes - 5.96 MBLet’s face it, 2020 did not end the way that it started. For any of us. For me, it ended in a separation, a new home and, in hindsight, a fresh start. So, Where Did I Go? In the mess of 2020, I realized how desperately I needed to take a b.r.e.a.k. I needed time to focus on my girls + myself. And that’s OKAY. It’s about time we ditched the hustle. You do not have to grind until you die. It is sometimes necessary (and dare I say mandatory) to take some time off to re-prioritize, set bounda...

Meet Being A Woman
September 14, 2020 16:00 - 11 minutes - 7.87 MBBeing a woman holds so many stories. Just like a diamond, so many facets. We are story tellers, passing down the knowledge that our mothers taught us and their mothers taught them. We are lovers. We are friends. We are sometimes mothers, and sometimes not. We hold secrets, and we hold truths. During an interaction with my patron group, I asked.. “what does it mean to be a woman?” Here are some of their answers.

Meet Burnout
July 13, 2020 12:00 - 10 minutes - 7.1 MBAt some point in your creative career, you’re going to experience burnout. I think it’s important than you know it’s normal, and it doesn’t mean you're failing. Burnout is common, and it’s real. It casts false shadows that you’re not good at what you do, that you don't find happiness in things you once did, or even that you’re lazy. None of those things are true. Let me tell you about what exactly burnout is, and how to take steps to overcome it. See the Show Notes: https://hollimostella...

Meet Your Body: Accepting the Mirror's Reflection
June 08, 2020 02:00 - 10 minutes - 7 MBI recently took a poll in my patron group. The question was, have you ever struggled with your body image or loving your body? 100% answered yes. 100% of almost 500 people that participated said yes, they have struggled to accept their body. Here’s the thing. I have existed in small, medium, and a large body size. For the last 5 years, it has been a major burden. Something that attributed to depression, missing out on life memories, and experiences with my friends and families. Support...
