HOLLY ZARSKI; Prioritization, Entrepreneurship & Life, How to Put Yourself First as a Mom

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Holly Zarski, a native Floridian who
was part of the 2012 Etsy boom creating one of the top Etsy
wedding sign shops ‘Z Create Design’ and has since expanded their
line of custom products to larger than life backdrops and
installations for weddings and parties with ‘Golden Hour
Rentals’. She started competing in March of 2020, days before the
world shut down, placing 2nd in open, followed by two first
placings in Fall 2021, and ultimately winning her pro card at
Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh in 2023. Holly is a mom to two
young boys and is constantly trying to find a balance between
motherhood, entrepreneurship and fitness. 


 


Holly is so open about life as a mom, entrepreneur, and
competitor. You don’t want to miss this conversation!
