Listen "E3: “Don't feel like it has to be perfect” with Hollie Grant"
Episode Synopsis
For our third episode I’m speaking to Hollie Grant aka the Pilates PT. Hollie fell in love with Pilates after being burnt as an apprentice pastry chef and working on reception at a studio. From running her own studio, she has grown an empire including an online pilates offering, two books and a podcast, all while raising two children. We talk about how scary it can be being a business owner and navigating huge personal and business changes. Hollie spoke on the pros and cons of working with your partner, both incomes being dependent on your business and both dealing with being new parents at the same time and the differences between her two maternity leaves with the business being at different stages. Hollie also had some really encouraging things to say about the realities of being a mother and business owner, and how it will look messy but only to you. To everyone else you’ll look like you’ve got your sh*t together! I used the Bump Plan programme to see me through both my pregnancies and prepare for birth and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. There are options for trying to conceive, pregnancy and postpartum, you can find out more here: https://thebumpplan.com/ Links: Website: www.bumptobusinessowner.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bumptobusinessowner/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinepooley/ About Hollie: Hollie Grant is an inspiration not just to all women in business, but especially for any mum in the fitness industry. Hollie set up ‘Pilates PT’ in 2015 which includes her own Studio in London and online platform, then in 2020 went on to create The Bump Plan which came from her lifelong desire to help TTC, pregnant, and postnatal women enter into these amazing times of their life. Alongside growing and raising a baby and a toddler of her own, The Bump Plan has supported over 30,000 women globally and Hollie has gone on to create fitness plans to support both women conceiving and postnatal mums to be strong and prepared for the demands of pregnancy and motherhood. Hollie’s second book ‘The Bump plan’ is out now. One which she wrote whilst heavily pregnant with her second baby and then had to edit and record the audiobook whilst he was a newborn.
