Rachel Hollis

“Every successful business professional I know is constantly learning, reading, growing in their field.”

“Summer at the Hollis household is all about us getting together and enjoying the pool, and Fourth of July is probably one of my favorite holidays to do just that.”

“I've even purposely looked for stories full of exactly this kind of angst, because I love the emotion behind it so much.”

“We all know you can't have a Fourth of July barbecue without the fixings that go with it.”

“You have to attach some sort of emotional reason to any big goal you're after, or you will give up.”

“Falling down doesn't matter, even if you do it a hundred times. All that matters is that you get up again.”

“As moms, we have so much on our plates. We're busy, and our family depends on us for a lot of things.”

“If you know cookies are your weakness, don't even bring them in the house because, like me, you will eat them.”

“I graduated high school a year early and moved to Los Angeles to go to acting school, which is hilarious.”

“The most interesting people to me are entrepreneurs. As someone who's owned my own business for over a decade, I am always so inspired by people who are building things.”

“Choosing elements for your wedding day should be fun, but these choices won't make any difference in the stuff that matters. For better or worse, you'll end that day married to your partner, and that's the truly exciting part.”

“For me, using a notebook every day keeps me on track! Some people use planners; those are great, too.”

“I grew up in a small town, and mental illness wasn't something anyone talked about.”

“'The Power of Habit' is the exact kind of non-fiction I love. It's smart and interesting, and it changes your perception how you do what you do or why you are who you are.”

“Having kids in school feels stressful for me.”

“Some of the best presents I get from my children for Mother's Day are homemade. It makes me so happy to see the time and effort they put into each gift.”

“The truth is, if we abuse ourselves with too much work and too little play, our body is eventually going to fight back, and the results can be terrible.”

“I love breakfast! Not only is it the most important meal of the day, but I loved waking up to - the smell of bacon in the morning was my favorite thing as a kid!”

“Decor sets the stage for any party, and it also gives a great indication to your guests as to how much effort you've put into hosting them within your home.”

“I have been a working mom as long as I've been a mom.”
