Sarah Hartley spent the entirety of her first pregnancy sick. A debilitating lack of focus, constant trips to the bathroom, multiple hospital visits for testing, a couple of falls…it just seemed to go on and on. She did not feel healthy, or beautiful, or glowing. At all.

She needed support but feared she’d be judged a terrible mother if she admitted to hating pregnancy. So she started writing about it on her personal blog. Readers soon began thanking Sarah for putting words to what they were feeling, too. She realized there was something missing in the media, and Holl & Lane Magazine was born.

More in this episode…

• How writing helped Sarah voice her fears and concerns far better than talking
• Why she decided not to pursue therapy or support groups
• The question she asked herself that expanded the reach of Holl & Lane beyond pregnancy
• What took someone from a bachelor’s in Fashion, to a master’s in Business, to starting a magazine
• Why Sarah didn’t want to write a book
• How breaking a task down into the smallest possible steps made starting a magazine possible
• The biggest thing Sarah has learned about people
• The two most important factors to help you decide whether you should pursue a goal or project
• How to start dealing with those things in your life you feel like you can’t talk about

Sarah Hartley is the creator and editor in chief of Holl & Lane Magazine, a magazine dedicated to showcasing real life from real women. Searching for a magazine that featured honest life in a beautiful way, that would give women a voice and a platform, Sarah set out to create that magazine. She publishes stories on infertility, miscarriage, mental health, body image, self-care, love and loss, and so much more. She wants to show women that they are not alone. She is also a wife to Brandon, a mom to Henry and Harrison, and lives near Pittsburgh, PA. In her (minimal) spare time, she loves to read, have dance parties with her son, and enjoy a beer with her husband at the end of a long week.

A year ago, Ashley Knight was struggling to balance baby and business without exhausting herself. In addition to being a coach, she was the leader of the Hello Boss Community. Ashley was not only doing her own social media, sales and marketing strategy, and copywriting, but also helping clients do the same. It all started affecting her health and relationships. 

She’d started her business to spend more time with family, but that wasn’t happening.

Ashley’s fears kept her from hiring help. The fear of letting people in—she’s a very private person and used to doing her own thing. The fear of delegating—if they didn’t get it, she would have wasted time, and time was her most valuable resource. Despite her fears, she realized she had to finally let things go … and it was the best decision she’s ever made.

More in this episode…

• The catalyst that finally prompted Ashley to hire help
• The widespread impact created by trying to spin so many plates by herself
• How Ashley identified the most important areas where she needed help
• What she did to get quality help without breaking the bank
• The important reframing she did around letting go of pieces of her business
• Two vital questions to ask yourself, not just about letting go, but about life
• The key component of letting go, and letting people help hold you up and help you grow
• How to start actually letting go

Community founder, People connector, Coffee Snob, Educator & Business Mentor…just some of the words you might hear others use to describe Ashley Knight. In nutshell, this girl’s shifting the way the world of business works, with original branding and planning strategies that get women in business visible, profitable and living their best life!
