  • 37: To The Alienated, Estranged & Separated During The Holidays
    Dec 2 2025

    This special Thanksgiving episode is a pause — a gentle breath — for anyone who feels alienated, estranged, or separated during the holidays. In one of the most personal episodes she's ever shared, Holly opens her heart and tells the story of her long, painful journey through parental alienation, estrangement, and years of fighting to stay connected to her children.

    She speaks directly to anyone navigating complicated family dynamics: parents missing their kids, adult children distant from a parent, and anyone carrying the ache of disconnection during the holiday season.

    And though Holly is deeply grateful for the relationship she has with her children today, this episode is about self-care, self-compassion, and staying open to even the smallest flicker of hope.

    She reflects on how the hardest chapters of her life eventually led her back to herself — to awareness, healing, and the rebuilding of a relationship she once feared was lost forever.

    If the holidays feel heavy this year, this message is for you.

    A reminder that healing is possible.

    A reminder that you're not alone.

    And an invitation to soften, breathe, and stay open to something better.
