How Holly unraveled from corporate


Today's Takeaway:

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is break your own rules 🩷


Hey Reader!

This week on Accountable, I’m joined by my friend and mentor Holly Haynes a former corporate strategist who walked away from 22 years in the C-suite to create a business on her own terms.

We talk about what she calls ā€œunravelingā€, the process of untangling yourself from old rules, habits, and labels that don’t actually serve you anymore.

Holly shares how she:

  • Challenged corporate ā€œrulesā€ like working 8–5 or never taking Fridays off
  • Created her own family-first boundaries (like no Friday meetings + quarterly travel)
  • Learned to separate her identity from her job title
  • Uses two simple questions to guide every change: Where am I most stressed? How can I make this simpler?

If you’ve been carrying rules that don’t feel like yours anymore, this episode will inspire you to start unraveling and building something better on the other side.
