004 - 10 Easy Ways to be Healthier Right Now and Jumpstart your Confidence and your Business!
Crush the Rush
04/07/20 • 22 min
In this episode I am going to chat about what I am doing to stay healthy while running a business, working full time and managing a family. Because let’s face it, it is a lot. And when you don’t have the energy to do all the things, your business and your personal goals take a hit. Plus, I can say from personal experience, my business ALWAYS does the best and my creativity is at its highest when I am feeling my best. Which means finding time to move my body, fuel it for energy and making sure there is some self-care worked into the routine. These are 10 things I do every week to make sure my body and energy are as efficient as my business!
- Move your body 30 minutes a day
- And find time to meditate or sit without distraction for 10 minutes.
- Eat nourishing and fulfilling meals
- Create your own momentum
- Sleep (and tips to sleep better!)
- Do something that makes you happy!
- Schedule a break
- Think positive
- Put some pants on!
- Learn something new!
I put together a quick summary blog post of these activities which you can check out at hollymariehaynes.com. It also includes my Vitality Checklist!BONUS 1:
For all my listeners I created a brand new 21 day Stay at home challenge. If you have been reading my messages lately you know I have been racking my brain to try to figure out how to help more. And what almost all of you are asking for is structure and routine.

- Virtual ZOOM gym hours (where you can join the community and workout together!)
And the best part? We will all be doing the same workouts together. So you have a whole crew of accountability partners. Plus morning motivation, my coaching, routine tips and more!
In the past 4 years, I’ve helped thousands of women get healthy FROM HOME and I cannot wait to help you, too. Let's make the MOST of this month - the time will pass anyway and I guarantee becoming part of this group will make it better for everyone who joins!

Catherine Morgan is a multi-award-winning qualified financial planner and award-winning financial coach, on a mission to change the financial services industry from one of the complicated financial products to one that helps educate in simple language with no financial jargon (and no suits!). Recent winner of the December 2019 ‘Best New Business’ in the National Business Women’s Award.
One thing Catherine is passionate about is getting people talking about money. Money can be a very isolating subject; someone might have had a bad experience that’s left them fearful about money, so they bury their head and don’t deal with it. Someone might feel ashamed or embarrassed that they’ve got themselves into a difficult financial situation. Catherine regularly produces video content in her community in her pj’s to get others to relax around the taboo subject of money!
A few things we chat about in this episode:
- her personal story of PTSD and how the shame around money can prevent entrepreneurs from talking about money
- how our relationship with money is the most important area to focus on to be more confident and financially resilient
- the 6 most common money personalities and how to upgrade your relationship
- how building a strong financial foundation and a few stories and tips on why that is important

Throwback: How to Make A Leadcast Strategy (Private Podcast) Work For You with Cait Howard
Crush the Rush
02/29/24 • 36 min
I am so excited to bring Cait Howard to the podcast today. Cait produces the Crush the Rush podcast AND is a member of our Mastermind Alumni Community. She shares how she went from corporate healthcare to co-owning her podcast management company, Amplify, with her husband.
After listening to her clients, Cait developed a new product called a Leadcast. It’s a mini private podcast that nurtures leads, builds your authority and collapses time between discovery and purchase. Cait sees Leadcast as the next generation of lead magnets. It’s a great way to connect with your audience, nurture them, and then direct them to a paid offer.
Cait explains why focusing on social media may not be the best strategy compared to creating a podcast. With social media, the algorithm dictates who sees your content, but with a podcast, whoever subscribes automatically sees your podcast in their feed – no “fighting the algorithm.” She still believes there is a lot of room for growth in the podcast world and a Leadcast is like a “mini-series” that takes a small time commitment. Also, by focusing on one specific topic, it connects the entrepreneur with a potential client who wants to learn more.
Connect with Cait and learn more about Leadcasts on IG: https://www.instagram.com/heycaithoward
In this episode we cover:
- Let’s get to know Cait and hear her journey
- Cait shares how she listened to her clients and came up with a new product to support them
- But EVERYONE has a podcast!!!
- How do you know if you’re ready to create a Leadcast?
- Let’s talk about Leadcast strategy
- You probably already have a Leadcast topic-don’t recreate the wheel

006 - How to find 2 Extra Hours a Day
Crush the Rush
04/21/20 • 24 min
In this episode, I am going to tell you how I find 2 extra hours a day! That is right, 2 extra hours!
Ever wonder how to fit in all the things because the day seems WAY to short or maybe you just have WAY to much to do? What if I told you I could help you find an extra two hours a day just by tweaking a few things? That is right, 2 extra hours! And YOU are going to be able to use that extra time to do all those amazing things you set out to do this week!
These are 10 things that I do throughout the day that if you do a quick time audit, that will easily save you 2 hours or more.
And as a bonus, I chat about "outsourcing". It is not what you think it is! I recently started a whiteboard in my office where I write down all the tasks weekly that I could outsource. Some of these are business tasks but some of them are basic tasks that you might not think of when you think to outsource....Outsourcing is really just saving you time!!!
I walk through my favorites! And what works for our family! Take a listen!
If lists and blogging are more your thing, go check out the blog post I wrote all about this!
https://hollymariehaynes.com/how-to-find-2-extra-hours-a-day/
I can't wait for you to try these and get some time back!

I used my experience over the last few weeks working from home with my 2 girls and the rest of the family and my experience running a business from home the last 4 years.
