Hi Everyone! I’m Holly Owens—a lifelong educator, tech-obsessed learning designer, and the voice behind The EdUp Learning & Development Podcast.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve stared at a blank lesson plan or LMS dashboard and felt that tug in your gut:

There has to be a smarter, more human way to help people grow.

Every week, I crack that question wide open—so you never have to wonder alone.

Why hit play?

* Real-world confessions & victories – I bring on L&D change-makers who aren’t afraid to share the messy first drafts that came before their mic-drop successes.
* Tools that feel like superpowers – I demo the tech I’m already using with clients and students, so you can steal my shortcuts before they hit the mainstream.
* Permission to dream big – Together we unpack the mindset shifts that turn “mandatory training” into life-altering experiences.

After almost two decades spent teaching in classrooms, strategizing in boardrooms, reinventing my career, and experimenting with every instructional design tool imaginable have revealed one constant: learning lasts only when it reaches the heart first. Let me give you the playbook— and the confidence— to make that happen.

So pour your coffee or tea, grab a snack, plug in your headphones, and join our community of restless optimists. Your next breakthrough is waiting, and I’ll be right here cheering you on.

Press play and let’s build the future of learning—together. 🎙️💙
