Holly Oldham built a luxury cleaning business out of grit, grief, and one life-changing poem. After leaving a toxic marriage with just $100 in her wallet, Holly didn’t just survive, she created PRMF Cleaning (Pause Reflect Move Forward) and redefined what success looks like on her own terms. Today, she’s a sought-after house manager, janitorial sales coach, comedic poet, and advocate for safe, thriving spaces inside and out.

In this episode, Holly brings fire, humor, and hard-won wisdom. She shares how being authentic, charging her worth, and turning pain into purpose helped her build a business that funds her freedom. Whether she’s cleaning million-dollar homes, writing dirty poetry, or teaching other cleaners to scale, Holly’s message is crystal clear: your mess can be your movement.
