S23 Ep11: Conversations of Inspiration: 2025 year in review

As the year takes its final bow, Holly looks back on twelve extraordinary months filled with transformation, creativity and unexpected magic. From filming her very first TV series, Be Your Own Boss, to diving into the fast-evolving role of AI in creative businesses, Holly reflects on the moments that shaped her 2025.

You’ll love this episode as it’s a celebration of connection: the friendships, shared wisdom and honest storytelling that make a founder’s path not only less lonely, but infinitely richer. Holly revisits standout conversations with NailsINC’s Thea Green MBE — who compares founding a business to motherhood; visualisation expert Maya Raichoora — who shares transformative mindset techniques for counteracting negativity; and Katie Piper OBE — who embraces midlife with courage while challenging how women are objectified.

Donna Ashworth, Vivien Wong and Kate Halfpenny also return to help Holly unpack the year’s most meaningful themes — sharing their souls, insights and creative fire, which in turn will ignite something special in listeners too.

Filled with heart, this episode is a reminder that while the founder’s journey is never easy, staying curious, connected and true to yourself remains the ultimate path to success. It’s proof that stories really do have the power to change everything.
