The first draft of the Higher Self Habits book manuscript is done, and I’m finally back! This is such an awesome episode to return with, and I know you are going to LOVE this conversation with my good friend, Holly Stein. Holly is co-founder of Mama Meals, a postpartum food delivery service that scaled to 7 figures in revenue in ONE YEAR! In this episode, we cover a lot of ground: how she scaled the business so quickly, the habits and systems she implemented to expand her capacity and slash decision fatigue, the real road to her overnight success, and more.
