79. you don't have to try so hard: purpose, heartbreak + following what wants to move through you with holly ransom

in this episode, i'm sitting down with the beautiful Holly Ransom — somatics + authentic expression coach, countercultural yoga witch, nervous system whisperer, and one of the most genuinely EMBODIED humans i know.

and honestly… this conversation went EVERYWHERE in the best possible way lol.

we talk about our experiences with sobriety + how much of drinking for both of us was really about disconnecting from ourselves, our bodies, our emotions, and even intimacy.

we get into holly's journey with yoga + spirituality, how she found her way back to her purpose, and what it actually looks like to stop trying to follow the external template of what your life or business is "supposed" to look like.

we also talk about heartbreak — and the really fucking painful seasons where you can't possibly see what exists on the other side yet.

because sometimes the thing you're desperately trying to hold onto is ALSO the thing taking up all the space for what wants to come next.

holly shares how the ending of a relationship she thought was her future opened up SO much energy in her life — for her business, friendships, travel, love, healing, and ultimately a version of herself she hadn't met yet.

we also get into:

✨ gene keys + learning to recognize when you're operating from force vs. FLOW

✨ why you don't have to exhaust yourself to be successful

✨ nervous system work + actually allowing emotions to MOVE through the body

✨ purpose + following the little threads of what keeps lighting you up
