S02E03 - Higher Living With Holly Hester
What does it mean to truly live higher? Is it about success? Overcoming obstacles? Or shifting our mindset to see life’s possibilities in a new light? On this episode of Califorgillicious, Holly—an author, model, and host—dives deep into the philosophy of Higher Living and how changing our perspectives can transform our lives.
From Small-Town Roots to Big Dreams
Holly’s journey didn’t start in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. She grew up in a small-town, surrounded by traditional values that shaped her early years. But as she grew older, she started questioning the limitations that came with her environment. What if there was more? What if life wasn’t just about following the expected path, but about creating something bigger?
That’s where her understanding of mentality vs. mindset came into play. Mentality is shaped by environment—family, culture, upbringing. But mindset? That’s a choice. It’s the conscious decision to believe in something greater, to push past fear, and to embrace the unknown.
Breaking Free from Expectations
Throughout the episode, Holly shares personal stories of how she challenged societal norms, took risks, and reinvented herself. Moving to Los Angeles wasn’t just about career opportunities; it was about choosing herself and stepping into the life she always imagined.
She talks about the moment she realized that happiness isn’t about external achievements—it’s about internal freedom. The ability to define success on your own terms, rather than letting society dictate it.
The Key to Higher Living
So, how can we all embrace Higher Living? Holly offers three key takeaways:
Shift Your Mindset – Stop seeing challenges as roadblocks. See them as lessons that push you toward growth.
Let Go of Fear – Fear will always be there, but it doesn’t have to control you. Step into discomfort and watch how life opens up.
Embrace Uncertainty – The best things in life often come from the unknown. Stay open, take risks, and trust the journey.
