Hey BOSS Lady👋,

In this episode of the Hey BOSS Ladies Podcast, I sit down with LP, founder of the houstoryapp, for a real, unfiltered conversation about identity, leadership, authenticity, and what it actually looks like to build solutions from lived experience.

LP shares her journey to BOSS status, from growing up in one of the most diverse communities in New York City to navigating culture shock, stereotypes, and leadership outside of that environment.

We go way beyond surface-level success and talk about what it really means to lead yourself first, question systems that were never built for us, and build what you wish already existed.

What We Talk About
• Why taking action before you feel ready is one of the biggest boss moves
• What authenticity really looks like and why people connect to real over polished
• The inspiration behind the houstoryapp and why renters deserve transparency
• How real stories create visibility, data, and meaningful change

Collaboration Spotlight

LP is currently collecting real rental stories through her House Stories series. From simple surveys to on-camera conversations, she is amplifying real experiences to help renters make informed decisions before signing a lease.

If you have a rental story, lesson, or experience to share, this is your invitation to be part of something powerful and needed.Connect With LP

Hey Boss Ladies,

Welcome back! In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Holli Howard, founder of Positive Living Coaching, a BOSS lady who has pivoted not once, not twice, but three times to create a purpose-driven business supporting women healing from childhood trauma.

We get real about how trauma impacts self-worth, the importance of volunteering before making a major career move, and how collaboration can protect your energy and scale your business faster. Holly breaks down what it means to shift from corporate structure to CEO mindset, how to work in your zone of genius, and why hiring help isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

We also talk about our own collaboration journey (yes, the journals, the courses, the design magic ✨) and how partnerships like ours help bring bold visions to life. This one is a full-on masterclass in doing business with heart, alignment, and power.

Grab your notebook, you're gonna want to jot some of this down.

💡What You’ll Walk Away With:

• Holli’s journey through 3 powerful career pivots
• How volunteering can open unexpected doors (and job offers!)
• Making the leap from side hustle to full-time CEO
• Structuring your business to serve YOU
• The importance of energy-protecting collaborations
• Why you should only operate in your zone of genius
• How trauma-informed support creates massive ripple effects
