169: Get Uncomfortable: Growth Isn't Always Pretty
2026/11/03
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the conversations you really don't want to have.
We just got back from The Finance Lab Build Room, hosted by Libby DeLucian, and let's just say ... we were NOT prepared for how much this experience would make us reflect on our businesses, our finances, and honestly, our lives.
What started as a trip to learn more about money turned into a much-needed wake-up call about accountability, personal growth, and the uncomfortable work that comes with building a better future.
In this episode, we're getting candid about the challenges we've faced this year, the lessons we've learned (sometimes the hard way), and why we're determined to stop collecting ideas and start actually implementing them. We're also talking about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, asking questions when you don't have the answers, and remembering that even the most successful people don't have everything figured out.
Because here's the thing: growth isn't always exciting or inspiring. Sometimes it's overwhelming, emotional, and downright uncomfortable. But that doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It might mean you're exactly where you need to be.
If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you should have it all figured out by now, this one's for you.
It's time to get uncomfortable and do the damn work.

168. Sell the Transformation, Not the Task: The Secret to Closing More Sales 💸
2026/10/27
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Here's a little sales secret: Your customers aren't buying what you do. They're buying what you do FOR THEM. 💸✨
This week on Hustled Up, we're getting tactical and talking about one of the biggest mistakes business owners make when selling their services: focusing on the tasks instead of the transformation.
Because let's be real, nobody is hiring a cleaning company because they're passionate about dust-free baseboards. They're hiring us for more free time, less stress, and the feeling of finally having their home under control. And that same concept applies to just about every industry!
We're sharing how we've built our sales process around understanding our customers' needs, asking better questions, and communicating the REAL value behind what we offer. From creating emotional connections and handling price objections to using your marketing to sell an experience rather than a service, we're breaking down the strategies that have helped us turn leads into loyal clients.
Plus, we're talking about why the customer experience matters just as much as the sales pitch, how to avoid sounding like a scripted salesperson, and why sometimes the best thing you can do on a sales call is simply shut up and listen. 👀
🎧 Tune in for actionable sales advice, real-life examples, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that people don't just buy services. They buy solutions, experiences, and the way those things make them feel.

167. Eat the Damn Frog: Procrastination Is Costing You More Than You Think 🐸
2026/10/20
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Procrastination isn't always about being lazy. Sometimes it's fear, perfectionism, overwhelm, or simply avoiding the things we REALLY don't want to do.
This week on Hustled Up, we're calling ourselves out (and maybe you, too 👀) as we dive into the uncomfortable side of entrepreneurship. From putting off difficult employee conversations and price increases to getting distracted by every shiny new idea, we're sharing how procrastination has cost us time, money, and even clients.
We're also breaking down the concept behind Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog", sharing a few hilarious stories from our own experiences, and discussing practical ways to stop avoiding the hard stuff, including delegation, accountability, and tackling those uncomfortable tasks head-on.
Because sometimes, the thing you're dreading most isn't nearly as bad as you've made it out to be.
🎧 Tune in for some laughs, a little tough love, and a reminder that your future self will thank you for doing the damn thing.

166. You Can't Grow If You Do It All: The Power of Virtual Specialists ft. Rico Donato
2026/10/13
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
What if the help your business desperately needs doesn't have to come from someone sitting in your office? This week, we're joined by Rico Donato, who runs the 1LD (One Layer Deep) Virtual Specialist Program, to talk about one of the biggest game changers for growing businesses: getting the right people in the right seats (even if those seats are thousands of miles away!).
We're diving into when it's time to bring on additional support, how to prepare your business for a new team member, and some of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when hiring. We also chat about the 1LD VS Program and how virtual specialists can provide an affordable, effective solution for business owners who are drowning in the day-to-day.
And we're not just talking the talk! After bringing our own virtual specialist, Trisha, onto the team, we've experienced firsthand just how transformative the right hire can be. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or convinced you have to do everything yourself, this episode might just change your mind!

165. Your Social Media Isn’t a Billboard: How to Build a Brand People Actually Want to Follow
2026/10/06
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
I’m flying solo this week, and we’re talking about something I could genuinely yap about ALL. DAY. LONG. — branding. ✨
After recently sitting on the Lead Your Brand panel at CleanCon, I left feeling even more fired up about helping business owners build brands that actually feel like people — not digital billboards. Because your brand is so much more than a pretty logo, cute colors, and perfectly curated graphics. It’s the collection of signals that helps people know you, trust you, remember you, and ultimately decide they want to work with you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down five tactical shifts you can start making on social media RIGHT NOW to build a more recognizable, human, and memorable brand. We’re talking about documenting instead of constantly creating, showing the humans behind your business, developing a point of view, creating recognizable content, finding your actual voice online, and more.
Plus, I’m giving you a little social media challenge to help you take a hard look at your current content and ask yourself one very important question: Does this actually feel like my brand?
If your social media has been feeling more like a digital flyer than a brand people genuinely want to follow, this episode is for you!!
And fair warning … you’re probably going to be hearing a LOT more from me about branding, marketing, and social media very soon. 👀💗

164. Business Owner Court: Guilty or Not Guilty? ⚖️
2026/09/30
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Court is officially in session. 👩⚖️ This week, we’re trading the tactical business talk for something a little more chaotic: Business Owner Court — Guilty or Not Guilty?
We’re putting some very real (and very debatable 👀) workplace and business scenarios on trial and handing down our verdicts. Should a loyal client still pay the cancellation fee when their kid gets sick? Is an employee guilty for logging off early if all their work is done? Is quitting a toxic job without two weeks’ notice a red flag? And can a business owner take an expensive vacation after telling an employee there’s no room for a raise?
Some cases were easy. Some had us changing our minds halfway through. And, shockingly, we didn’t agree on everything.
Play along as you listen and decide: GUILTY or NOT GUILTY? Then come tell us where you think we got it completely wrong. 😂
And because we had way too many cases for one episode … stay tuned. Business Owner Court: Part Two is coming. ⚖️

163. Things We Stopped Giving an F About in Business
2026/09/22
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
After nearly nine years in business, one of the biggest things that has changed for us isn’t our pricing, our team, or even the way we run our companies — it’s what we’re willing to give our energy to. In the early days, EVERYTHING felt important. Every competitor, every unhappy client, every employee’s opinion, every little problem, and every opportunity to make another dollar had the power to completely consume us. These days? We’ve gotten a whole lot more selective about where our energy goes.
In this episode, we’re talking about the things we’ve stopped giving an F about in business — and the lessons it took us years to learn. We’re getting into comparison and competition, wanting every client and employee to like us, saying yes to money that isn’t worth it, following business advice that doesn’t actually fit your vision, treating every little problem like an emergency, trying to do everything yourself, holding onto people and situations for too long, and so much more. We definitely haven’t mastered all of this, but we’ve come a LONG way — and if you’re exhausted from giving your time, thoughts, and energy to things that don’t deserve quite so much of you, this episode might be the reminder you need to reevaluate what’s actually worth caring about.

162. Before You Hire: 5 Things to Do Before Bringing Someone Into Your Office
2026/09/15
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
This week, Laura is taking over the mic for a solo episode — and she's getting tactical! After recently bringing a new remote team member into the Chores & More office, we've been thinking a LOT about what actually needs to happen before someone new joins your team. Because hiring someone isn't automatically going to make your business more organized — you need to create the structure they're stepping into first.
Laura is breaking down five of the most important things to have in place before bringing someone into your office, from defining roles and documenting what's living in your head to cleaning up your systems, creating an intentional training plan, and setting crystal-clear KPIs and expectations. And as always, we're sharing this from the middle of figuring it out ourselves — what we've done well, what we're already going back and changing, and what we wish we had known sooner. If you're thinking about making your first office hire (or your fifth!), grab a notebook for this one. 🎧✨ Enjoy!

161. Would We Do It Again? 8 Years of Business Decisions, Mistakes & Lessons
2026/09/08
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
If we could go back to 2018 knowing everything we know now … would we make the same decisions? 👀 This week, we’re playing a little game of “Would We Do It Again?” and revisiting some of the biggest choices we’ve made while building Chores & More — from going into business each other and choosing our name and branding to pricing, hiring, coaching, expanding our services, setting boundaries, and more.
Some decisions? We’d make them again in a heartbeat. Others? Absolutely effing not. 😂 But looking back at the good, the bad, and the what the heck were we thinking?! moments reminded us just how much those early mistakes and growing pains shaped the business owners and leaders we are today.
Whether you’re brand new to entrepreneurship or years into building your business, play along with us and ask yourself: knowing what you know now … would you do it again?

160: From One Dream to the Next: Reinventing Yourself as an Entrepreneur ft. Kathy Merchant
2026/09/01
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
This week, we're welcoming back our friend and fellow entrepreneur Kathy Merchant — but this time, she's stepping into an entirely new chapter! After decades in the cleaning industry, Kathy has taken a longtime passion for planning, goal setting, and helping female entrepreneurs and turned it into Kathy & Co., a luxury planner and stationery company created specifically with women in business in mind.
We chat all about the journey behind creating the Core Blueprint Planner, the years Kathy spent dreaming about the idea before finally bringing it to life, and what it's been like transitioning from a service-based business into the world of physical products. Kathy also shares how the planner is designed to help women take their big-picture goals and break them down from the year, to the quarter, to the month, week, and everyday life — without feeling completely overwhelmed.
Plus, we get a peek at what's coming next for Kathy & Co., including new products and the upcoming CEO & Soul Women's Retreat! If you've ever had a dream sitting in the back of your mind, wondered whether it's too late to pivot, or struggled to juggle entrepreneurship with everything else happening in your life, this episode is for you. ♡

159. 21 Questions: Business, Life & Everything in Between
2026/08/25
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Sometimes we talk so much about business that we forget there may be a few of you out there wondering … who the hell are Holly and Laura, anyway? 😂 Whether you’ve been hanging out with us since the beginning or you’re brand new to the Hustled Up fam, we thought it was time for a proper reintroduction.
This week, we’re playing 21 Questions — and we’re both answering every single one. We’re talking comfort foods and dream travel destinations, but we’re also getting into the deeper stuff: how entrepreneurship has changed us, the hardest lessons we’ve learned as leaders, the moments that completely changed the trajectory of Chores & More, and what we ultimately want this business to make possible for our lives.
We’re also talking about what has kept our friendship intact while building a business together, the things we never want to lose about ourselves as the company grows, and a few dreams we’re still chasing outside of entrepreneurship. Come hang out, get to know the women behind the businesses a little better, and then send us the questions YOU want us to answer in Part 2!

158. You Can’t Do It All Forever: The Changes That Come With Growth in Your Business ft. Ashley Cruz 💭
2026/08/18
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
Growth sounds exciting — and it is — but nobody talks enough about how freaking uncomfortable it can be. In this episode, we’re joined by Ashley Cruz, owner of Celestial Shine Cleaning in Pennsylvania, for a candid conversation about the changes, challenges, and growing pains that come along with building a bigger business.
We’re talking hiring struggles, stepping into leadership, learning how to delegate, and that incredibly difficult moment when you realize you simply can’t hold onto everything anymore. When you’ve built a business from the ground up, handing pieces of your baby over to someone else can feel terrifying — but growth requires us to evolve right alongside our businesses.
Ashley shares so many incredible insights from her own journey, and together we unpack both sides of growth: the messy, uncomfortable lessons **and** the opportunities waiting on the other side of them. If your business is growing — or you’re working your butt off trying to get it there — this conversation is for you. 🎧💕

157. You Don't Need More Networking — You Need REAL Connections
2026/08/11
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
In today’s episode of Hustled Up, we’re recapping our recent trip to Tennessee with a group of cleaning business owner friends — and honestly, this trip was so much more than just a fun getaway. We’re talking about what happens when you get into a room with people who genuinely care about you, your business, and your growth … and why sometimes the best business lessons come from the people you call your friends.
Before this trip, we were both feeling burnt out, stuck, unmotivated, and honestly a little tired of the hustle. But after spending a few days surrounded by women who were willing to teach, challenge, encourage, and call us out on our b******t, we came home with a completely different perspective — and a whole list of things we needed to fix.
We’re talking about the difference between simply getting into a room with “successful” people and actually building genuine relationships with people who want to see you succeed. Because networking isn’t about finding someone bigger than you and taking everything you can from them. It’s about giving, sharing, learning, laughing, and realizing that you have something valuable to contribute no matter where you are in your business.
We also get real about the importance of having people in your corner who will actually tell you the truth. Because sometimes you don’t need another person telling you how amazing you are — you need someone who loves you enough to hold you accountable.
Plus, we’re sharing some of our favorite moments from the trip: tubing down a Tennessee river while drinking margaritas out of water bottles, paddleboarding, petting goats, playing ridiculous games, learning about quality control, breathwork, tapping, AI, and so much more. Basically … a little business, a little personal growth, and a LOT of doing dumb shit together.
At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder to take a good, hard look at who’s in your room. Are you surrounding yourself with people who support the person you’re becoming, or people who constantly pull you back toward the person you’ve outgrown? Find the people who make your dreams feel possible, who will challenge you when you need it, and who genuinely want to see you win — not because they want something from you, but because they care.
And if you’re feeling lonely in entrepreneurship, consider this your little nudge to put yourself out there. Go to the event. Introduce yourself. Make the connection. Get a little uncomfortable. Your people might be waiting for you in the next room. ❤️

156. How Should You REALLY Pay Your Employees? 🤔
2026/07/28
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
This week's episode came straight from one of your DMs, bestie, and we're diving into a topic that every service-based business owner eventually has to figure out: how should you pay your employees?
We're breaking down the pros and cons of hourly pay vs. commission-based pay, sharing exactly why we made the switch in our own cleaning company, and talking about what we've learned (sometimes the hard way) after years of managing a growing team.
But here's the thing ... this episode isn't really just about pay.
We're talking about why compensation is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to building a team that actually wants to stick around. From company culture and leadership to accountability, recognition, pricing your services correctly, and creating systems that support your employees, we're sharing the behind-the-scenes realities that don't always get talked about.
We also chat about:✨ why there is no "perfect" pay structure✨ the biggest mistakes business owners make when paying employees✨ how different pay models influence behavior✨ why trust is essential if you're using commission✨ the importance of charging enough so you can actually pay your team well✨ and why being a great leader matters even more than offering a great paycheck
Plus, we get a little fired up about underpaying employees, discuss why your technicians should be some of the highest-paid people in your business, and remind you that "math is the path" (even though we both wish it wasn't 😂).
If you're getting ready to hire your first employee, thinking about changing your pay structure, or simply want to build a business where people genuinely love coming to work, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest conversations to help you get there.
Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's talk all things employee pay, leadership, and building a business that's good for both your team and your bottom line.

155. Business Hot Takes That Miiiight Offend You 👀
2026/07/21
💗 Welcome back to the Hustled Up podcast! 💗
This week, we're sharing some of our biggest (and probably most controversial ) business hot takes. Some of these opinions might make you nod your head, some might make you want to argue with us in the comments ... and honestly? We welcome the debate.
We're talking about everything from why not everyone should become an entrepreneur, why revenue is one of the most overrated business metrics, and why being "busy" isn't the flex social media makes it out to be. We also dive into why cheap customers usually end up being the most expensive, why the customer is definitely not always right, and why learning means nothing if you never actually implement what you've learned — among other hot takes!
And because we can't keep a secret forever... we're also giving you a few exciting business updates! We also give you a little sneak peek at some things we're working on inside the Hustle Haven.
Whether you agree with every hot take or think we're completely wrong, this episode is full of honest conversations, lessons we've learned the hard way, and plenty of laughs along the way.
So grab your favorite drink, put your earbuds in, and let us know... which hot take are you willing to die on?
