From Popular to Politics: How This Reality TV Star Rebranded Her Whole Life

In this episode of She’s Taking Over, I’m joined by Holly MacAlpine, someone you might know from Big Brother, FBoy Island or The Amazing Race. But the version of her you’ll meet today is nothing like the one you saw on TV.

In the last 12 months, Holly has landed a new job, stepped into politics, built a loyal audience, and rebranded her entire life all by creating content that aligned with her actual interests.

She stopped trying to fit the aesthetic, leaned into her voice, and started taking up space in rooms she never expected to walk into. This is what happens when you back yourself before the world catches up.
