What happens when two women who’ve done the healing, made the mistakes, and still choose collaboration over competition sit down to talk money, trust, and community?

You get a whole episode full of mic-drop moments.

We sat down with Holly Hartman—co-founder of the WO Network, trauma-informed coach, multi-passionate magic-maker—and wow. The conversation went deep. From financial abuse to authentic sisterhood, Holly shared her money story with so much heart we had to pull out some of our favorite quotes.

And yes, Amanda chimed in with some iconic one-liners too. Scroll on for 16 gems that just might shift your perspective—and put a little more love (and maybe money) in your wallet.


💗 HOLLY HARTMAN QUOTES

1. “We get to model what collaboration over competition looks like.”
Collaboration isn’t a cute concept—it’s a whole blueprint. And Holly’s out here building it with love.

2. “My joy was giving it away… now I’m learning that my joy is actually in keeping it or investing back in myself.”
The transformation? Learning that you are worth investing in.

3. “We heal through relationships. You can read a book all day long, but until you take action, nothing really changes.”
Healing isn't passive. It’s messy, relational, and full of growth. Let’s go.

4. “Trust isn’t always automatic or given—it’s built. And you have to be consistent in how you show up.”
Big trust energy only. This one is for the long-haulers who show up even when it’s hard.

5. “The connection is what feels right. Not DEI checkboxing, not optics—real, honest sisterhood.”
If it doesn’t feel real, we’re not interested. Holly breaks down what inclusion really looks like.

6. “We’re showing up as our authentic, big, bodacious, scary, imperfect selves—and that’s how we build trust.”
✨ Permission granted to be all of you.

7. “My wellbeing means more than any outcome.”
Go ahead and tattoo this on your forehead.

8. “Change happens when we have a conversation—but if we don’t know how to start, change can’t happen.”
That’s why Holly created her RARE conversation cards—because connection starts with a single sentence.

9. “If we start showing up without our masks, that’s when trust becomes real.”
No more hiding. No more perfecting. Real trust requires real presence.

10. “Harnessing synergy is the high—when everyone’s gifts align, collaboration becomes ease and flow.”
That moment when it all clicks? That’s synergy, baby. And it’s delicious.


💸 AMANDA DARE QUOTES

11. “It’s not attention I want. I want connection.”
Said it once, saying it again: WOW is built on relationships, not algorithms.

12. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the confidence, the options, the trust in yourself.”
Let’s be real—money is just the vehicle. Trust in yourself is the destination.

13. “When we’re connected, we grow. When we collaborate, we put money in the wallets of women.”
Our favorite kind of ripple effect.

14. “If I say I’m going to do something, I don’t half-ass it. Let’s go, let’s run this.”
Aries energy activated. Catch up or catch a vibe.

15. “I don’t need any extra work from the patriarchy—I just want to hang out and get as far as I can today.”
Add this to your morning affirmations. No extra labor, just soft power and steady progress.

16. “If we keep dividing ourselves down… we’re doing the work of the patriarchy for them.”
Let’s stop helping the system that was never built for us. Connection is the revolution.
