What if your body has been carrying your childhood trauma long after your mind tried to forget it?
In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Holly Haag, holistic health coach and founder of The Healing Haul, whose life was shaped by severe childhood abuse, generational trauma, and multiple autoimmune diagnoses—including Multiple Sclerosis. Through years of research and personal healing, Holly now helps others understand the connection between trauma, chronic illness, and whole-body healing.
Rather than accepting that illness would define her future, Holly began searching for the deeper "why." Her journey led her through therapy, EMDR, nervous system healing, nutrition, detoxification, mindset work, and learning how unresolved trauma can influence physical health.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
• How childhood trauma can impact long-term physical health
• Why genetics may load the gun, but stress can pull the trigger
• The connection between nervous system regulation and autoimmune disease
• Why becoming your own safe person is one of the most important parts of healing
• Practical habits that support both emotional and physical wellness

hello everybody.
2
:Welcome back to another episode
of Adult Child of Dysfunction.
3
:Today we have with us Holly.
4
:Haag.
5
:She's a holistic health coach
with a focus on autoimmunity.
6
:She has to face her own multiple
autoimmune disease, so she took
7
:that knowledge, learned to help
others and get their health back.
8
:Welcome Holly.
9
:I am super excited to talk about this
because like I was saying right before
10
:we got on here, when you go through
that childhood trauma which is everybody
11
:I deal with, it affects not just
your mind but it affects your body.
12
:And you are living proof of that.
13
:So let's jump right in.
14
:How are you today?
15
:Great.
16
:Thank you for having me.
17
:I appreciate what you do and having a
voice for people like me because for
18
:many years I didn't have a voice at all.
19
:Thank you for doing what you do.
20
:Oh, you're very welcome.
21
:So you, I read, I…
22
:It's not just even in your bio but
I was reading later on in something
23
:that you wrote that you grew up
sounds very much like me with the…
24
:talk a little bit about your
childhood just so people can get
25
:a background of what you went
through when you were younger.
26
:Sure.
27
:So I'm the third generation in my family
to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
28
:My mother would be the second.
29
:And she was diagnosed when
I was three years old.
30
:So that in itself was very traumatizing
for me 'cause even though I didn't
31
:understand the concept of death, I thought
she was dying 'cause she was very sick.
32
:And so my father had to take more
care of, do more of the things to
33
:care for me during that moment.
34
:And my, my grandmother, which was
my saving grace in the story, she
35
:had to step in and so she did.
36
:She, I always referred to her
as a second mom because she
37
:was such a big part of my life.
38
:But during that time my father
started molesting me, started, He was
39
:verbally abusive, physically abusive.
40
:And fortunately he was a truck
driver so he was not always there.
41
:He worked nights a lot, so he'd go from
working nights to working mornings.
42
:So I didn't have to deal with him
all the time which helped me too, but
43
:when I did it was a scary place to be.
44
:And because I was an
only child I didn't know.
45
:I didn't know that what was
happening wasn't supposed to happen.
46
:It just, I internalized the
fear that this is scary.
47
:Oftentimes I'd play in my
closet because there were walls
48
:behind me 'cause it felt safe.
49
:So it was a scary situation
despite I think people have a
50
:hard time understanding that you
didn't know you were being abused.
51
:Especially back then.
52
:Like back then there wasn't social media.
53
:I had Oregon Trails eventually.
54
:There…
55
:We didn't even have computers.
56
:Eventually we got to, I
think, junior high, maybe high
57
:school, we had Oregon Trails.
58
:I don't even remember what age it was.
59
:But, that was the extent of what we got.
60
:Now you have a computer
in your hand every day.
61
:So it's hard to take somebody
in today's world and place them
62
:in the times that I was in.
63
:But there just was not a lot of
awareness around sexual abuse.
64
:And back then you also,
especially, like specifically
65
:in my family, you stayed quiet.
66
:You didn't talk about it.
67
:It was not…
68
:So there was no, there's no awareness.
69
:None.
70
:And- how old were you when it started?
71
:I was…
72
:so EMDR, it happened sooner, but my
first actual solid memory, I was three.
73
:Oh, wow.
74
:I was three years old.
75
:So my, the first memory of my father
giving me a shower is when I just
76
:playfully grabbed, like I'd never seen
up close in my mind his genitalia,
77
:and I just "Oh, what's that?"
78
:Just playfully.
79
:And he was a tit for tat person.
80
:So he had injured his hand.
81
:He used to work for the Alaska
P- Pipelines, and so they were
82
:almost like a Captain Hook.
83
:They were crooked fingers
'cause that's how they healed.
84
:And so he just took them and
shoved them up inside me.
85
:Wow.
86
:And that's my very first memory.
87
:And then I did tell my mother, but now
having children myself, I don't know how
88
:realistically I translated that at age
three and how it was heard or received.
89
:But as a parent, I would have also
then been In the back of my mind, huh.
90
:That's … whatever I had, I'd verbalized.
91
:I don't remember the exact words.
92
:But I did he put the, his fingers-
… and then, and h- his defense was
93
:that he must have just scratched
me, like, when he was washing me.
94
:So it w- that was how he was, though.
95
:They, my parents, they're both very
intelligent, so he was i- really able to
96
:s- to sell the, the, the lie, you know,
that everybody else is dysfunctional.
97
:Not him.
98
:You were three years old.
99
:I was three.
100
:Like- Yeah … anything he said
that he was going to be able to
101
:find a way to out-manipulate you.
102
:You were three.
103
:Oh, yeah.
104
:Yeah, I was three.
105
:There wasn't- Yeah … there, you didn't
have much of a, a ground to stand on
106
:when it came to having the say and the
107
:That's crazy.
108
:And your mom, she just just
bought into it and went on, so
109
:of course you felt 100% unsafe.
110
:Did your grandma know?
111
:Or what, at what age did
you tell your grandmother?
112
:So I don't remember ever saying
anything to her- … even
113
:though she was my safe person.
114
:So it wasn't until I was 12 that I had
a name for it, and I know that sounds
115
:ridiculously old to not understand
what's happening to you, but I didn't.
116
:I had no, my mom was the helicopter mom.
117
:My family came from generational trauma,
so it wasn't anything new to any of them.
118
:Which- W- in one sense you think would
give you a more of an awareness that it's
119
:happening, but it also gives you sort of
a blind spot because you're used to it.
120
:Definitively I don't know that my mother
knew, I don't know that my grandmother
121
:knew, but I'm positive they did.
122
:Just because of, one, my third grade
teacher had reported something.
123
:I don't even know what.
124
:So I was … I thought it just, I had
trouble reading when I was little, so I
125
:thought it was for that, but I was tested.
126
:I went to a psychologist off the school
campus, and they had to d- go do a report.
127
:And so my aunt found that report when my
grandmother passed away, and apparently
128
:my grandmother also took notes.
129
:So she, every day she had a diary.
130
:Oh, wow.
131
:And so my aunt came to me before
she died, and she had told me,
132
:"Hey Holly, I think they knew."
133
:And I'm like, "I do, too."
134
:And my mother, she was really
good at manipulating things.
135
:So I thought my mom loved me so
much and I was so special to her
136
:until I realized as an adult she
was manipulating the whole thing.
137
:She was such a great,
masterful manipulator.
138
:So she would always get drawn into,
she'd have a book cover and she'd
139
:always be reading these romance novels,
yet she had no romance in her life.
140
:None.
141
:The, the actual idea of
intimacy for her was scary.
142
:It was unattainable.
143
:She didn't actually physically want
it, but she desired it in her books.
144
:And then really she used me,
because I was the one that was
145
:intimate with her husband, right?
146
:So I replaced that uncomfortable
part that she didn't wanna do.
147
:And I have to believe at
this point it was on purpose.
148
:There was one argument that my grandmother
and her had at my grandmother's house
149
:saying, "I'm not raising another child."
150
:I think my, my mom maybe tried to leave
or was looking for a different option.
151
:But I, it always stuck with me.
152
:It always stuck with me, because
I was like what is she talking
153
:about raising another child?"
154
:I didn't understand.
155
:And my mom was crying.
156
:I, we stayed there for a couple weeks
on a pulled-out futon bed that my
157
:grandmother every morning made us make,
like you had to fold it up to make s-
158
:make it look like nobody was there.
159
:So those always stuck with me.
160
:And- … and in EMDR they knew.
161
:Like, when I did EMDR, they knew.
162
:And it was y- they both had gone
through trauma themselves, and I
163
:don't know their full story 'cause
they were quiet about it, right?
164
:But I know it happened.
165
:So it's just, it's sorta tragic that They
didn't feel safe enough to get the help
166
:to have that self-worth to fix themselves
a- and then not to do it for your child.
167
:I mean- Because- Yeah, and that's
exactly why generational trauma exists.
168
:But I feel like- Yeah … we're
in a different world now.
169
:I don't know how old you are.
170
:Yeah.
171
:How old are you?
172
:If you don't mind.
173
:I'm 44.
174
:Okay.
175
:44.
176
:I, I have, I don't care about that stuff.
177
:Yeah, no.
178
:So I'm- Ask away.
179
:I'm 57, and it was the same thing.
180
:It was, my mother was
a child psychiatrist.
181
:Oh.
182
:So you talk about being
manipulated by the best.
183
:Oh, yeah.
184
:She was also an alcoholic and a drug
addict, and her father was a psychiatrist.
185
:And when she started cutting at
13 and was bulimic, he sent her to
186
:boarding school for four years and
said, "Come back when you're well."
187
:Obviously you don't come back after
being kicked out of your house when you
188
:have so- you know, mental health issues.
189
:So it's just, it's just a, it's a
cycle of tragedy is really what it was.
190
:But I like to think that now it's like
now there's so many cycle breakers because
191
:now- Yeah … there is the internet,
there is computers, there are- Yeah
192
:All this social media.
193
:We see we hear something on TikTok
and we're like, "Whoa, that's me."
194
:Yeah.
195
:That's how half my clients come to
me is from a podcast where I say one
196
:little thing and they're like, "Whoa,
I felt like you were in my brain."
197
:We didn't have that when we were younger.
198
:No.
199
:And so our parents most
certainly did not have that.
200
:No.
201
:No.
202
:So it's a whole different…
203
:I remember the day that I went through
so much inner child work and healing
204
:my inner child and doing all that
stuff, and then it was like one day
205
:all of a sudden my therapist was like,
"Can we try something different?"
206
:And I'm like, "Yeah."
207
:"Can we flip it?
208
:Even though you were your mother's
caregiver and you did hold her
209
:head back and hold her hair back
while she was vomiting into the
210
:toilet, can we flip it and try to
look at her as the wounded child?"
211
:Yeah.
212
:And I was like, "Whoa," "Blah."
213
:That was my initial- Yeah
214
:reaction.
215
:But it wasn't until I could look at her
and the trauma that she had been through
216
:that I was like 180, all of a sudden it
was like, wow, it wasn't any of her fault.
217
:No.
218
:It wa- it just wasn't, and that
was a, whoa, that was eye-opening.
219
:But what I wanna jump in, 'cause I'm sorry
you went through all that, it sounds- Yeah
220
:shitty.
221
:That's all right.
222
:To say the least.
223
:But I wanna jump into the
mind-body and just, you said you
224
:were the third generation MS.
225
:Yeah.
226
:Now, multiple sclerosis, I know.
227
:I've always been with the understanding
once I started healing my own issues was
228
:that mind-body connection, thought, eating
habits can overcome heredity any day.
229
:What do you think about that?
230
:Genetics have to be expressed.
231
:So I studied everything because
I knew there was a genetic link.
232
:I skipped my grandmother, but she
had many strokes and she ultimately
233
:died of a massive stroke, and so
she fits into that equation as well.
234
:She more than likely had rheumatoid
arthritis, whether sh- whether
235
:she told me about it or not.
236
:That's the thing with her,
she, her lips were sealed.
237
:You didn't know.
238
:You didn't know what was going on
but genetics always play a role.
239
:S- they always play a role.
240
:So you're expressing your genetics, and
what has to happen for that is stress.
241
:Some sort of stress, whether it's
a physical stress, whether it's an
242
:emotional stress that has to happen
for those genetics to express.
243
:So that's your environment.
244
:That might be childbirth.
245
:It might be…
246
:A lot of women it is childbirth, actually.
247
:It's such a great stress on the
body, and that's ultimately when the
248
:majority of my symptoms expressed
was after I had my first child.
249
:You're depleted of nutrients.
250
:So there's so much going on.
251
:It's a the, the vagus nerve, right?
252
:Where it's getting, like, when you have a
baby especially "Hey, something's wrong."
253
:And then if you're already…
254
:Say you go into that pregnancy and you're
depleted and you're toxic and your body
255
:is all full of heavy metals and now
microplastics, and it's just not healthy.
256
:So you're going in as this- Not
really a whole person, and then
257
:you're coming out, you're depleted
'cause the baby's taking from you.
258
:If you're breastfeeding, you're
gonna be depleted even more.
259
:And so it's just this cascade.
260
:And we think, "Oh, where
did this come from?"
261
:For my family, we expressed genetics.
262
:So we have the celiac gene.
263
:We have MTHFR.
264
:We don't methylate well.
265
:APOE4, Alzheimer's, that's the
bad four alleles in the brain.
266
:So we're not processing
saturated fats well.
267
:So there's a- the genetics, you
cannot remove genetics as much as
268
:functional med- medicine tries.
269
:And I'm part of functional medicine,
but I disagree that we don't
270
:pay attention to our genetics.
271
:It's the blueprint of who we are.
272
:But that emotional part of…
273
:that we don't deal with, that
part that we try to ignore
274
:and package up and "I'm fine.
275
:I'm fine."
276
:I said I was fine until I had my child.
277
:That's when I broke.
278
:Like completely broke.
279
:Like completely numb, completely y-
unable to human, is what I would say.
280
:So basic needs, showering,
making food, like I…
281
:brushing your teeth.
282
:I was unable to do basic needs for myself.
283
:I was able to care for my son as
much as I could, and that was it.
284
:My body completely shut down when
I had him because he was a twin.
285
:He was born sick.
286
:I had hyperemesis gravidarum.
287
:I had pre-term labor.
288
:It…
289
:the worst f- if you could think of the
worst first pregnancy scenario, I had it.
290
:It was horrific.
291
:It took an emotional toll.
292
:It took a physical toll.
293
:And so I had him, and I realized it
took that, all of that I need to change.
294
:I need to be better.
295
:I am responsible…
296
:It was the first time I
realized I was responsible for
297
:something other than myself.
298
:I really had never…
299
:I'd been so selfish before,
'cause it was all about me.
300
:It was all about me, and my husband
better be doing, like, all the things.
301
:Oh I'm awesome, so why aren't
you treating me better?
302
:Why aren't you…
303
:and then I realized too, I picked a
husband that's not very good, I realized
304
:that right away after my son was born,
and I'm like, "Okay how does this work?"
305
:So that sort of crumbled and fell apart
because I realized how dysfunctional
306
:my life was, and the choices I had
made, and why I had make, made them.
307
:I had all these answers of…
308
:or not answers, but questions as to, like,
how did I get here, how did I get here?
309
:Why, what i- what is happening right now?
310
:I already went through all this crap.
311
:Why d- why isn't it over?
312
:Why isn't it over?
313
:Why is this happening to me?
314
:That's how I initially took
that, and so I had to do therapy.
315
:I ha- I did EMDR.
316
:I did 15 years of therapy, and
therapy was good in the sense
317
:that I got to verbalize it.
318
:I got to talk with somebody that was
safe, that gave me tools so I could handle
319
:my stress, because I had none before.
320
:I had no ability to handle stress, because
nobody had given me anything other than
321
:dysfunctional ways to handle stress.
322
:And I ha- I wasn't really
super dysfunctional on paper.
323
:I, I went to dental school.
324
:I had a good job.
325
:I I bought my first house at 22.
326
:I had nicer cars, for my age.
327
:I didn't look like a hot mess,
but I felt like one inside.
328
:I think my marriage would eventually
show that, that was crumbling.
329
:That was eventually gonna show the
dysfunction, the cracks, so to speak.
330
:And even after all that therapy,
here I get diagnosed with MS at 38.
331
:I have my new marriage.
332
:I'm thinking gosh what like, I
have to do more, i'm not done?
333
:My, my big pile of crap isn't over?
334
:What else do I have to work through?
335
:And I think that's the part that needs
to really be understood is- There's
336
:so many layers to abuse and to healing
that there is no set end point.
337
:And I realize that now.
338
:There's still not an end point, right?
339
:So I started to do, like you s-
you suggested, inner child work.
340
:I started to view my self and l- I
literally would go to the park and go
341
:for walks and pretend to hold her hand
and say, "Do you wanna go with me?"
342
:And I…
343
:And here's the other truth.
344
:I went a lot of my life, a lot
of my life not trusting myself,
345
:because I couldn't protect myself.
346
:Couldn't protect myself as a child.
347
:I blamed myself as an
adult that I wasn't safe.
348
:Wasn't able…
349
:I always compare myself to Runaway
Bride, 'cause what eggs do I like?
350
:I would s- sit in front of a rack
of clothes and go, "What color?"
351
:Because I didn't know myself.
352
:No.
353
:It, I did not, and I was so separated.
354
:And so I had to get to know myself.
355
:I had to love myself.
356
:I had to become my safe person.
357
:I had to, just like you mentioned,
I, one of my core values, I figured
358
:out my core values, and one of
my core values is compassion.
359
:And so when I was able to see my
mother as the broken person, the
360
:the little girl that never grew up.
361
:She was in an adult body but a child
inside, and she acted like a child inside.
362
:Y- some of the arguments we were getting
into, I felt more of an adult than she,
363
:she was when I was a teenager, and I'm
like, "Why is she treating me like this?"
364
:Because she wasn't an adult inside.
365
:Absolutely.
366
:And so I, when I saw them for what
they were and who they were and
367
:where they were stuck and stunted, it
allowed me to heal a part of me that
368
:was unable to heal be- at that point.
369
:And when my mo- mother
passed away, there was…
370
:Here I thought I'd, I'm done.
371
:I did all the work.
372
:I did, I've done the energy healing.
373
:I've done the inner child healing.
374
:I've done all this stuff, and then she
passed away, and there was another layer.
375
:Here was all of this guarded trauma
that I had to have the armor up
376
:in order to have the relationship.
377
:Because I kept the relationship
because she's sick.
378
:She has MS.
379
:I was told by my grandparents, both sides.
380
:My grandparents were divorced.
381
:"It's your job, Holly.
382
:You're the only child.
383
:It's your responsibility."
384
:Here my grandfather's a millionaire,
and he's telling me that I need to take
385
:care of his kid, and he doesn't take…
386
:he maybe the whole time that
when my parents got divorced,
387
:he bought us a toilet.
388
:Here's this guy calling me up.
389
:Here I, what I'm working at
Blockbuster, and i- it's your
390
:responsibility making $7 and 10 cents
an hour to take care of your mother.
391
:And- Oh, my gosh.
392
:That reminds me.
393
:That's so crazy 'cause my grandfather,
who was my mother's mother or
394
:my mother's father, same thing.
395
:He literally…
396
:I was living with her for a
while, and it was the most
397
:dysfunctional environment ever.
398
:Yeah.
399
:We were living in someone's garage.
400
:She was lending me to her
drug dealers to pay her debt.
401
:There was no food in the house and
he was sending her $10,000 a month.
402
:And I was like She's not feeding me.
403
:I'm literally walking
to the grocery store.
404
:So he t- completely enabling
her to just snort everything
405
:she could get up her nose.
406
:I was like, "Are you kidding me?"
407
:Yeah.
408
:But he's like she's your responsibility.
409
:You're there with her."
410
:I was like, I was 16
and starving to death.
411
:Yeah.
412
:Cut me some slack, man.
413
:Yeah.
414
:And that…
415
:So my mom, it was always about
her MS and her nervous system, not
416
:ever worrying about anybody else's.
417
:And so when I was a child, I oftentimes
would go unfed, and so I would climb
418
:the ca- the cabinet and then there
was a counter right behind, so if I
419
:fell, I could have seriously been hurt.
420
:But I'd climb 'cause I knew
my dad kept candy up there.
421
:So you know, what does the kid go to?
422
:They go to the candy.
423
:And one time I went…
424
:I, my mom, she would, if you didn't
like what she liked, sh- you could not
425
:like things she thought were gross.
426
:And so one day I'd gone into the fridge to
get ranch dressing, and I just was eating
427
:the ranch from the bottle because I was
that young and that was food, because she
428
:was either sleeping on the bed or engulfed
in her romance novel, and wasn't…
429
:I was just this little kid
by myself r- in the house.
430
:Yeah.
431
:And she got enraged.
432
:Enraged.
433
:I never liked ranch again after
that because she came out screaming
434
:and yelling how gross I was,
how "How dare I get into that.
435
:That's disgusting.
436
:You'll never eat that again."
437
:And I never did.
438
:But it's funny that every food
she didn't like was white.
439
:Ranch, butter.
440
:So you say, "Oh I don't
know her story completely."
441
:You sorta do.
442
:Y- you sorta do, 'cause it's
okay you obviously were molested.
443
:You obviously…
444
:and the stories I do know of my
grandfather, of my grandmother's
445
:father, he was an alcoholic.
446
:My aunt in, in her last year, opened
up to me that possibly, through
447
:her therapy, that something had
happened with the grandfather there.
448
:And so you can see the line of
abuse- … that, that just unfolds,
449
:and it's like it's not a coincidence
you don't like foods that are white.
450
:So it…
451
:I had to be the detective in my
family too, so I had to want to
452
:heal enough to dig and find out
their stories as much as I could.
453
:You do.
454
:And- Of course you do.
455
:Yeah.
456
:So because you're not gonna under-
fully understand what- Yeah … you're
457
:going through unless you fully
understand where they came from.
458
:Yeah.
459
:Honestly.
460
:Yeah.
461
:And it- That makes 100% sense.
462
:Yeah.
463
:And it…
464
:it's heartbreaking.
465
:It really is.
466
:It's heartbreaking.
467
:It's it's tragic, but at
what point does it end?
468
:At what point- But it's-
Somebody has to stop it.
469
:A- absolutely, and that's why we're here
today, because you have the story of
470
:the hope and the healing and all of the-
Yeah … good stuff and moving forward.
471
:I'm gonna jump back in into the physical
stuff- Sure … because I'm fascinated
472
:with you healing your own body.
473
:Yeah.
474
:So first of all, let's talk about
how you think you g- didn't get MS
475
:until you were 38, you said, right?
476
:And you said it was kinda…
477
:it's triggered by the baby, and
all of this stuff is triggered.
478
:Did you not have any physical symptoms
of anything before that from trauma?
479
:No.
480
:So I had signs as a child that there
was something off just 'cause I'd
481
:have itchy throat, sinus issues.
482
:So there was signs there
that something was off.
483
:19, I ate a pack of…
484
:I got a, a box of fruit snacks that
I had eaten when I was a child,
485
:and I ate one pack, and here I'm
blonde, extremely good shape.
486
:I used to be a high-performance athlete.
487
:Tan.
488
:I look like the picture of health.
489
:I, my blood sugar crashed so bad
I had to take a four-hour nap.
490
:I woke up and my, internally
my body was shaking so bad.
491
:I thought…
492
:I went to my mom, I'm
like, "Mom, am I shaking?"
493
:Couldn't see it, but it felt like somebody
was just violently shaking me inside.
494
:And so I went to the doctor
thinking, "Oh, maybe I have diabetes.
495
:Maybe I, what could this be?"
496
:"Nope, everything's fine.
497
:You're fine."
498
:And then I wouldn't really
have major symptoms.
499
:I started to have constipation issues.
500
:I had an eating disorder at age
13, 'cause that's the only thing
501
:I could choose to do, 'cause my
mom had moved in my boyfriend.
502
:So I was in this, not on paper,
but an, basically an arranged
503
:marriage without the marriage.
504
:Because she had to keep me in the abuse.
505
:Got divorced, my father's not
there, but we gotta keep Holly,
506
:gotta keep her working, I don't
even know what else to call it.
507
:Which I cared for my boyfriend,
but I didn't wanna live with him.
508
:I didn't wanna, be forced to have
sex and- I don't mean to interrupt
509
:isolated from my kids.
510
:I don't mean to interrupt you, but
I'm like, your story just keeps
511
:going down these things, and I'm
like, you got so many layers, girl.
512
:Of course.
513
:You'll never have them unpacked.
514
:But, not all of them.
515
:Of course.
516
:But that's okay.
517
:So- Because it's okay.
518
:Yeah.
519
:The, so the physical part
there was so much to that.
520
:So t- 24, literally a week after
my 24th birthday, I deliver my son.
521
:And that's when the issues started,
and I kept asking to be tested for MS.
522
:I suspected it 20 years before I got it.
523
:So they wouldn't test me.
524
:They would not…
525
:Oh, there's no neurological symptoms.
526
:But bladder issues
came, vision in and out.
527
:Never did I test that there
was anything wrong with me.
528
:Thyroid's fine.
529
:Weight gain, extreme weight gain.
530
:So here I go from being, I don't
know, in today's world maybe I
531
:was a size two or a size four,
because the numbers are way off.
532
:Like- … size two today was probably a
size six or eight when we were y- little.
533
:But, I went from that to
gaining 100 pounds effortlessly.
534
:N- no reason for it, and there it is.
535
:Every- everything was just out
of balance, and that is so-
536
:Everything … that is just so stress
related anyway, those imbalances.
537
:I actually do a biofrequency
energy scan with your voice
538
:that detects a hu- oh yeah.
539
:It's really fun.
540
:It's 171,000 different
frequencies it detects in your
541
:body, and it detects imbalances.
542
:So it doesn't, it's not diagnostic,
but when I get blood work done,
543
:I love to put it up next to it
because- Yeah … it's spot on.
544
:And those are the things, I
love doing it for clients.
545
:I'll have to let you do one.
546
:It's free.
547
:Yeah.
548
:Yeah, it's totally free.
549
:But it's fun because what it
does is it, like I said, your
550
:body is amazing at compensating.
551
:Yeah.
552
:So that's why, and if your cortisol
is high, something else will kick in,
553
:but your digestive juices will stop
flowing because they don't wanna wear
554
:this out, and it's all connected.
555
:But this thing that's, that shows
these imbalances, it shows stressors.
556
:Yeah.
557
:So it will s- it showed me I wanna say
about seven months before my doctor told
558
:me that my A1C was high, that my A1C, my
glucagon, my glucose, that, my sugar, my
559
:metabolism, like it told me all of that.
560
:And had I listened and fixed it, my
sugar then before I had the actual blood
561
:test, I probably could have avoided it.
562
:Yeah.
563
:Yeah.
564
:It- But you don't listen, and
your body- You don't … your
565
:body whispers before it screams.
566
:And with people like me, w- we are so
good at faking life, at putting the
567
:face on, at separating from our bodies.
568
:And so what it took for me is to
go and do the uncomfortable work of
569
:being part of my body, being part
of my body, feeling everything.
570
:You have to feel to heal.
571
:You have to feel to heal.
572
:And doing vagus work, tapping, I
love tapping, and I used to tap to
573
:try to get rid of the dysfunction.
574
:What is my attachment to potato chips?
575
:Tapping for that.
576
:But then it became about…
577
:I tap now.
578
:I sing this little song that
it's oh, how does it go?
579
:All my cells are healthy and happy.
580
:But I sing this little song telling my
body that I'm healthy and I'm happy,
581
:and I tap, and I do it every day.
582
:It's a non-negotiable.
583
:And so I started practicing
things like that.
584
:I…
585
:Anytime I have negative
thoughts, I ask myself…
586
:I don't comple- I used to just
dismiss them and say "Cancel" or,
587
:"Nope, we're not gonna think of that.
588
:Nope."
589
:And sometimes I'll do that if
it's really I don't wanna give the
590
:energy to a b- a negative thought.
591
:But I accept them now, and I go
why am I thinking about that?"
592
:Why am I thinking about that?
593
:I might pray about it
and say, "You know what?
594
:I don't really wanna think about this.
595
:I wanna understand why it's here,
but I don't wanna have these emotions
596
:attached to it," and I don't.
597
:I just release them.
598
:I'm like, "Okay it's
your job, God, not mine."
599
:"Your stress, not mine."
600
:And so- Surrendering.
601
:Yeah, surrender- Surrender … and
just give it up, and- Yep … you
602
:have to do that sometimes.
603
:But the tapping is actually amazing, and-
It is … if nothing else it's refocusing.
604
:But telling your body over and over again.
605
:Yeah.
606
:I talk to people all the time,
and they wake up in the morning,
607
:and they literally make a mental
inventory of everything that hurts.
608
:Yeah.
609
:I'm like, you literally just
spent 10 minutes bringing all of
610
:the negative energy and pointing
out all the things that hurt.
611
:Manifesting pain.
612
:Yeah.
613
:Yeah.
614
:How about waking up in the morning and
thanking God that your feet don't hurt?
615
:Like- Yeah … my feet
feel great this morning.
616
:But it's like, where our
attention goes, energy flows.
617
:So- Yeah Oh, it's and I truly-
It's so true … I truly believe,
618
:There's no, I guess you could
say coincidence, or there's no…
619
:There is no coincidence that people
that have a, a horrible divorce that
620
:their rates of breast cancer are high.
621
:Yeah.
622
:It's like that's…
623
:all of the mind-body connection is so
real, and now it's like you just have
624
:to believe it, though, because then
you have to believe that what you put
625
:into the universe is what you get out.
626
:So when you're talking to your body, like
you say, you're tapping and you're saying,
627
:"All of my cells in my body are whole and
healthy"- Yeah … then you're speaking
628
:it into the universe, and the universe is
gonna look for experiences and anything
629
:to evidence to show that what you said
was true, 'cause it wants it to be true.
630
:Yeah.
631
:And and that's the way I started looking
at praying, too is we pray for a little
632
:bit of time, "Oh, I want this," right?
633
:And then we think we're done.
634
:We're done.
635
:But then all day you're, like you said,
you're focused on, "Oh, my knee hurts.
636
:My knee hurts.
637
:My head hurts.
638
:Oh, I'm sick."
639
:You say these things to yourself.
640
:I don't say, "Oh, I have,"
I say, "I was diagnosed.
641
:I was diagnosed with this," because
I believe your body's meant to heal.
642
:I believe your body can heal.
643
:And there's so many of us.
644
:It's not just me.
645
:There's so many of us that have
done that, and it's about feeding
646
:your, anti-inflammatory diet.
647
:There's such a focus on
anti-inflammatory diet, but what is that?
648
:That's you actually
taking care of yourself.
649
:It's you not picking the food.
650
:I used to comfort myself with
food, comfort myself with a chair.
651
:The chair would hug me
because I needed a hug.
652
:You can put your hand on your heart and
make practices where you hug yourself
653
:or you actually literally hug yourself.
654
:I was looking for that attention.
655
:And what was that?
656
:That was my little self, the little
me that needed somebody to be
657
:there for me that wasn't there.
658
:I was all by myself.
659
:Talking about abandonment issues.
660
:When you are in a big house all
by yourself with a pool, like a
661
:lot of scary things can happen.
662
:And then the house is scary.
663
:My, my parents, they slept separately,
so my dad, when he'd have to work
664
:nights, he completely blacked out
with reflective tape the window.
665
:And it stunk in there because it was
just so musty 'cause the window was
666
:never open, and so I called it the
dungeon because it felt like one.
667
:And so here's this scary place with this
scary person, really, in, in the house.
668
:And so I didn't even…
669
:I would never…
670
:When he wasn't there, I
wouldn't go play in there.
671
:I wouldn't go in there.
672
:Sometimes I was curious, and I'd
go- Navigate a little bit, but
673
:I stayed out of there 'cause it
was just, it was scary to me.
674
:And so when you're trying to heal your
body it's There's so ma- much to it.
675
:It's what are you feeding yourself?
676
:Are you feeding to fill in a void
and try to fill in the comfort with
677
:the har- hot macaroni and cheese?
678
:You're…
679
:And that is what you have to recognize
and pull away from, because it's damaging
680
:your health, and you become part of your
abuse because you are abusing yourself
681
:every day when you're doing those things,
and you're not taking care of your body
682
:the way that it deserves to be taken
care of because you don't deserve…
683
:That you think, "I don't deserve to be
taken care of," when the truth is you do.
684
:You do.
685
:You deserve to be taken care of.
686
:You deserve to love yourself.
687
:You deserve the work that it
takes, and it takes a lot of work.
688
:It's…
689
:I'm not gonna ever lie and say
that this journey was easy for me.
690
:It was not.
691
:And then pulling away from the
relationships, because other people's
692
:energy is just as bad as your own.
693
:So if you s- are surrounding yourself
with people that are feeding you this
694
:negative energy, that are feeding into
that you can't do it, that are feeding
695
:into that you need to be exactly
where you're at I knew at a certain
696
:point in my journey that all of my
relationships might have to dissolve.
697
:Not my children, 'cause I
have to take care of them.
698
:Not them, but my marriage, my…
699
:Even though I love my husband and he's
700
:the better, way better version
of a husband than the first one.
701
:And thank the Lord he decided
to do the work with me, right?
702
:'Cause I approached
him at a certain point.
703
:I'm like, "Hey, I'm gonna be
changing, and I need you to
704
:be okay with that, number one.
705
:But I also need you to change
because we're not healthy right now.
706
:I'm not healthy.
707
:I don't really think you're healthy.
708
:We need to make some changes and some
shifts, so do you wanna do it with me?"
709
:That's how I approached that.
710
:And when- so what steps did he
and you together take, for the
711
:audience so they can get some- Yeah
712
:practical stre- steps to re-
start regaining your health?
713
:So where are you at with your MS?
714
:Like, how are you feeling?
715
:What did you do?
716
:Talk about that.
717
:Lesions, the second MRI I
got, they all were going away.
718
:They all…
719
:So I had three remaining,
and they were all shrinking.
720
:So at this point I have to believe
that they're gone, so they're gone.
721
:You go do testing.
722
:Do I have demyelination?
723
:No.
724
:If I went to a doctor
today, could I be diagnosed?
725
:Probably not.
726
:Based on my history they're
always gonna diagnose you, right?
727
:Because, oh, you have a history.
728
:It doesn't go away.
729
:You can't heal.
730
:You have to go to a doctor that
actually believes you can heal.
731
:So if you're going to one that the,
quite literally the last neurologist
732
:I went to, "I prescribe drugs.
733
:Why are you here?"
734
:I'm not gonna take your drugs.
735
:So you have to go to somebody there's
only one neurologist I know of, Dr.
736
:David Perlmutter, that is
in functional medicine that
737
:believes that things can shift.
738
:Like- … that is the only doctor I would
agree to go to somebody like him again
739
:that believes that, and the truth, really.
740
:It's the truth.
741
:And changing your diet.
742
:We started by changing just that.
743
:We started by sh- shifting our
diet The Plant Paradox, i- by Dr.
744
:Steven Gundry.
745
:And when we did that, man, within
three weeks my numb face … So my
746
:face had e- eventually went numb, so
that's my neurological sign finally.
747
:20 years later I gotta get tested.
748
:Within three weeks my face woke up
and I could taste food again, and I
749
:knew we were doing the right thing.
750
:And my mom unknowingly had taken
a holistic approach, so I watched
751
:her health get better through that.
752
:So I already trusted it and
knew that it was … It works.
753
:And then- Okay, so you
changed your d- diet.
754
:What else?
755
:Changed my diet.
756
:Figuring out, getting
to know myself, really.
757
:That was huge.
758
:Getting to know myself and my core values
understanding my, my daily thoughts.
759
:Really being more of a positive
person versus negative talk and
760
:that includes other people, right?
761
:So it's … And then that's hard.
762
:My husband and I, we've always liked
to people watch and there's some
763
:interesting individuals out there.
764
:And that was always a fun game for us,
but it's it's shifting your mindset into
765
:who you are and going, hey, maybe this
isn't a positive game that we're playing.
766
:And shifting the behavior, and being
more active, physically active.
767
:Of course with autoimmunity, that comes
when it's able to because that is a
768
:stress, so you can make things worse.
769
:So you want to lower inflammation then
add activity s- so that way you're
770
:not adding too much of a heavy load.
771
:And then I really focused on
why did my family get MS, right?
772
:Those genetics.
773
:So I support, I can't eat
folic acid, so grains.
774
:All grains in the US are fortified.
775
:So I stay away from
grains for the most part.
776
:I make sure they're organic.
777
:I make sure they're not fortified.
778
:If I get them I don't want them fortified
with crap that my body can't process.
779
:MTHFR was huge.
780
:That is passed down by the mother.
781
:So these are things we shared.
782
:The celiac gene, the one that I have, is
the HLA genes in general are problematic.
783
:But mine was overreactive, overresponsive.
784
:So not only d- are the grains
fortified, so my MTHFR, my
785
:methylation's not processing right.
786
:So that, your methylation is huge.
787
:It not only processes toxins out
of your body through your liver, it
788
:also gets out your excess hormones.
789
:So- … estrogen
dominant, it's your liver.
790
:Yep.
791
:Yep.
792
:So I do liver flushes.
793
:I do regular parasite cleanses,
infrared light, being out in the sun.
794
:My family has a history of
skin cancer, I don't care.
795
:I…
796
:you eat high antioxidants,
you make more melanin.
797
:You chlorophyll's excellent for, you do
these things that help, that where your
798
:body helps protect your skin on its own.
799
:And you go out and you get
your vitamin D the right way.
800
:That's how our body's supposed to get it.
801
:And s- Isn't it funny?
802
:There's so many things and people are
like, "What are you talking about?"
803
:My husband's a fisherman, and one
of the biggest things with fither-
804
:fishermen is they eat, to keep the
skin cancer down, because we're in
805
:Florida, you're in the sun all the
time- Yeah … a lot of watermelon.
806
:Oh, okay.
807
:Because watermelon has that protects
the skin from rotting from- Yep … so
808
:it's literally, it's like we…
809
:I always was like, "Why do we
always eat so much watermelon?"
810
:Yeah.
811
:I mean- It makes sense.
812
:Yeah it was just…
813
:And it's practicing these things
every day, it's a daily practice.
814
:Every day I'm cleaning up the
penile gland in the beginning,
815
:getting the heavy metals out.
816
:When I tested my body, I was toxic.
817
:I had heavy metal.
818
:All the heavy metals that
I had six in the beginning.
819
:They were all way past the toxic level.
820
:I had Lyme.
821
:Oh, that was a pain in the butt.
822
:I had to hire a functional doctor
to actually get the proper Lyme
823
:testing, 'cause the Western
Blot is ab- absolute crap.
824
:Don't trust that.
825
:It has a 50% fail rate.
826
:Oh, the test?
827
:Yeah.
828
:Oh, yeah.
829
:And it's not, and it's not…
830
:Once the- It's crap … yeah, once
the first, once the actual initial
831
:bam of the Lyme, it's like the testing
doesn't test anymore, but it still- No
832
:continues to destroy all of your organs.
833
:Oh, yeah.
834
:So I had finally years later, but there's
the antibodies for Lyme, so they're…
835
:Like, and also, I just was bit.
836
:It wasn't in me.
837
:I thought it was a spider.
838
:It was very large.
839
:So wherever that bug is in its recycling
phase so if it's been on another host
840
:and it's ready to regurgitate and
it bites you, if that juice gets in
841
:your system, it's in your blood now.
842
:So it doesn't have to be implanted and
in you, obviously, because I got it.
843
:And I suspected, 'cause a month
after that happened, my face went
844
:numb, so I knew those were related.
845
:But of course I'm crazy, and he's
the specialist, so what do I know?
846
:Yeah.
847
:It's really ha- it's really hard,
too, because there's so many, and
848
:especially, my daughter went to a
functional medicine doctor and he s-
849
:I, to this day, say he saved her life.
850
:But she ended up taking all of her blood
out and putting ozone in it, shaking-
851
:Yep … it back up and putting it back
in her body, because she had probably
852
:mono in first grade or something-
Yep … and never got rid of it.
853
:So she literally had no
immune system, so she had E.
854
:coli in her body, she had
botulism, she had all the- Yeah
855
:things that a normal, healthy
immune system is exposed to every
856
:single day but we fight off.
857
:Yeah.
858
:Yep, I did ozone too.
859
:I love now that was insane because
here I'd … By the time I did
860
:a 10 pass, and then I did ozone
dialysis, which I recommend more.
861
:It's called EBOO.
862
:It's more expensive, but it filters out.
863
:She, yeah, she did EBOO.
864
:It- She did EBOO the second go around
after she had the freaking vaccine
865
:and she got all jacked up again.
866
:Yeah.
867
:Oh, yeah.
868
:But that, definitely EBOO over the
10 pass, because the 10 pass puts
869
:the die-off back in your system.
870
:And so when I did my 10 pass, I think
it was maybe the third treatment, here
871
:I'd been detoxing for years at that
point, thought I was, doing amazing.
872
:And then I had a Herxheimer reaction
on the third one, which is horrific.
873
:It's the worst flu you could think of.
874
:You just feel absolutely horrid,
and that's when I realized,
875
:oh, it didn't get it all.
876
:I hadn't gotten it all because the
ozone definitely got something there.
877
:But then every one after that was fine.
878
:But I was thankful that I had done
that treatment because when my,
879
:when I did get my Lyme testing,
there was 12 co-infections.
880
:Yeah.
881
:12 co-infections.
882
:Every animal I owned w- there
was one linked to every animal.
883
:Yeah.
884
:Great.
885
:So me kissing my little dwarf hamster on
the nose And again, if you're out there
886
:listening, this is not to scare you.
887
:This is to- No … show you
that really the big picture.
888
:You just wanna do what you can do.
889
:Yeah.
890
:Obviously people can't run out and
get ozone treatment or EBOO treatment-
891
:No … at the drop of a dime.
892
:It's unrealistic.
893
:It's- Yeah … tens of
thousands of dollars for some-
894
:Yeah … of the treatments.
895
:But what you can do is you can, like
she said, Holly just said it flat
896
:out, is you can start taking care of
your body the best way you know how.
897
:Yeah.
898
:And it's just making
small changes every day.
899
:When you go to pick up
that cookie, go maybe not."
900
:Yeah.
901
:You know what I mean?
902
:When your doctor tells
you your A1C is a 6.4,
903
:don't pick up the cookie.
904
:Pick up something else.
905
:Just start making those little
changes and finding things.
906
:Honestly, if you're trying to make those
small changes and it seems overwhelming,
907
:find those things, those little things
where the replacements can still give
908
:you that little dopamine hit because
if you grew up in dysfunction and
909
:you grew up in that kind of trauma,
you still need that reward center.
910
:Your brain needs it.
911
:Yeah.
912
:That's why it's a comfort food.
913
:That's why it's a comfort game or whatever
your drug of choice is, and I don't
914
:mean drug, but you know what I'm saying.
915
:But- and with food, I learned how to
make the things I liked with whole foods.
916
:So it's not about avoiding classes,
the the cookies or the brownies.
917
:Make a resistant starch.
918
:Sweet potatoes make a great base for
baked goods Bake it, put it in the
919
:refrigerator, make it a resistant starch.
920
:Now you're feeding your gut bugs, right?
921
:Yeah.
922
:You're healing your gut.
923
:Leaky gut is attached to all
autoimmune disease, so you're
924
:healing your gut, you're reduce…
925
:the, the basics is what I…
926
:Which seems simple, but it's doing the
basics for seven years in a row, right?
927
:It's every morning waking up and
saying positive things to yourself.
928
:It's every morning getting out
and getting in the fresh air.
929
:It's earthing.
930
:It's making sure you're active and
you're moving your calf muscles.
931
:Really, your calves.
932
:So after you eat a meal, there's three
exercises you can do to move that glucose.
933
:Walk for 10 minutes, 30
jumping jacks, or 10 lunges.
934
:Those have all equally been proven to move
that glucose to where it's supposed to go.
935
:So it's about doing these
things on a regular basis every
936
:day because you're worth it.
937
:And I don't have it on me right
now, but I usually wear a bracelet
938
:that says, "I am enough," because
some days I do need a reminder.
939
:Some days, like, when somebody says
something that I don't like to me
940
:or there's, something bad happens
that I can't control, sometimes
941
:I need that reminder, and it's
right there on my wrist every day.
942
:I just came back from the
beach, that's why it's not on.
943
:I am enough.
944
:I, and I know that about myself.
945
:I know that some days I need the
support, and it's like me being that
946
:support system for myself ahead of time.
947
:Yep.
948
:Because sometimes my husband might
be at work, my kids are at school.
949
:I don't have them here to support
me in the moment that I feel weak.
950
:And so it's, I'm enough, and
then I'm that person for myself.
951
:And that's the most important thing, and
I've said that all the time, is like we
952
:spend our whole lives not getting what,
the validation we needed from the outside.
953
:Yes.
954
:And it's now it's like all of
a sudden as adults, why do we
955
:think we're gonna get it any…
956
:we're not.
957
:No- there's no knight in shining
armor that's gonna rush in.
958
:No.
959
:You, I always say between me
and my God, we got it all.
960
:We just- Yeah … we just
have to know we got it all.
961
:We c- we have e- all the tools
we need to make ourselves ha-
962
:healthy, to heal our own bodies.
963
:Yep.
964
:We have it all.
965
:We just have to learn
the tools to access it.
966
:Yep.
967
:And so much of it am mi- is mindset.
968
:But Holly, this has been super fun.
969
:Yep.
970
:But if people wanna work
with you, tell them the…
971
:I could talk to you all
day- … but I know people are
972
:like, "Okay, I gotta go eat."
973
:Tell people where they can reach
you if they wanna work with you.
974
:Sure.
975
:So my website is The Healing Haul,
so it's T-H-E-H-E-A-L-I-N-G, and
976
:then Haul, H-A-U-L, at, oh, .com.
977
:I was gonna give you my email.
978
:But it, thehealinghaul.com.
979
:Okay.
980
:And all of my socials are linked
up top, so you just click on them.
981
:And I do daily reels.
982
:It's my way to give back to try
to help people with autoimmune
983
:disease get their health back.
984
:Perfect.
985
:I absolutely love that.
986
:And if you could leave, you're
not off the hook yet 'cause I-
987
:so appreciate you coming on.
988
:But if you could leave the listeners
with one, something tangible or words
989
:of wisdom or piece of advice to walk
away with today to make their day a
990
:little more positive, what would it be?
991
:My favorite, one of my favorite sayings
that I always say is, "If you have
992
:breath, God has a purpose for you."
993
:And in the Bible it says to fast and pray.
994
:Fast and pray.
995
:That's it.
996
:Fast and pray.
997
:That's how you get better.
998
:And whether you're religious
or not, you can say a prayer.
999
:You can say a prayer.
:
00:49:28,046 --> 00:49:33,556
We can restrict food in a healthy way,
and I think we eat too much in today's
:
00:49:33,556 --> 00:49:35,586
world, and too much of the bad things.
:
00:49:36,036 --> 00:49:38,526
But you have a purpose.
:
00:49:38,566 --> 00:49:40,836
I truly believe everybody has a purpose.
:
00:49:40,846 --> 00:49:45,646
There's so many times in my journey I
thought I didn't, and so many times I
:
00:49:45,646 --> 00:49:52,846
came close to ending my own life because
I didn't see the value in myself.
:
00:49:52,896 --> 00:49:57,176
And today there is over
100,000 people that follow me.
:
00:49:57,396 --> 00:50:03,716
I am linked in the UK on a platform, and
I have no idea how many people follow me
:
00:50:03,716 --> 00:50:07,776
over there, but they found value, right?
:
00:50:07,976 --> 00:50:11,666
Don't give up on yourself
because your journey is hard.
:
00:50:11,706 --> 00:50:15,676
It is meant to be hard to build
you to who you're supposed to be.
:
00:50:16,056 --> 00:50:20,586
I am so thankful that I went through
all of what I went through to be
:
00:50:20,586 --> 00:50:27,096
who I am today, because God built
me to be this, and now I have a
:
00:50:27,096 --> 00:50:29,406
purpose, and I share that purpose.
:
00:50:30,036 --> 00:50:32,226
So that would be, that's it.
:
00:50:32,266 --> 00:50:33,306
And how do you get that?
:
00:50:33,316 --> 00:50:34,276
You love yourself.
:
00:50:34,286 --> 00:50:36,026
You listen to your intuition.
:
00:50:36,616 --> 00:50:38,426
You do small steps, right?
:
00:50:38,436 --> 00:50:38,746
You…
:
00:50:38,766 --> 00:50:42,416
We can a- we can all pick
to eat whole foods, right?
:
00:50:42,416 --> 00:50:43,536
We can eat the whole food.
:
00:50:43,536 --> 00:50:44,726
We can make recipes.
:
00:50:44,776 --> 00:50:48,996
It takes a little bit more work, but
you're loving yourself in that action.
:
00:50:48,996 --> 00:50:55,276
There's love being put into that food for
you to eat, to nourish who you want to be.
:
00:50:55,726 --> 00:50:56,276
Amen.
:
00:50:57,106 --> 00:50:57,986
Very well said.
:
00:50:57,996 --> 00:50:58,976
Thank you so much.
:
00:50:58,976 --> 00:51:01,366
And for everybody else out
there listening, you heard it.
:
00:51:01,686 --> 00:51:02,616
Just love on yourself.
:
00:51:02,616 --> 00:51:06,346
Treat yourself like your own best friend,
and know that you are so worth it.
:
00:51:06,346 --> 00:51:07,726
You hear me at the end of the podcast.
:
00:51:07,726 --> 00:51:09,486
If you listen all the way
through the end, it always says,
:
00:51:09,736 --> 00:51:10,926
"And know that you are enough.
:
00:51:10,926 --> 00:51:12,746
You are way more than enough."
:
00:51:12,766 --> 00:51:14,736
That's how I end my podcast every time.
:
00:51:15,106 --> 00:51:19,546
But it is true, and you deserve
every good thing that's out there
:
00:51:19,546 --> 00:51:21,256
for you, and you need to know that.
:
00:51:21,266 --> 00:51:23,936
So if you doubt that, and
you need somebody, and you
:
00:51:23,936 --> 00:51:25,466
need a backup, you got Holly.
:
00:51:25,466 --> 00:51:26,176
You got me.
:
00:51:26,176 --> 00:51:26,196
Yeah.
:
00:51:26,206 --> 00:51:28,506
You got all the support
in the world out there.
:
00:51:28,846 --> 00:51:30,906
Go and just nourish yourself.
:
00:51:30,996 --> 00:51:33,876
Just nourish yourself and love
on yourself, and . It will be
:
00:51:33,886 --> 00:51:35,266
so worth it, I promise you.
:
00:51:35,736 --> 00:51:38,986
So you all have a very blessed
week, and we will see you back
:
00:51:38,996 --> 00:51:41,176
here tomorrow for Tammy Sakes.
:
00:51:41,286 --> 00:51:42,096
Have a great day.
