Episode 7: Arrival — A Nervous System Reset for Overwhelm and Anxiety

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is an invitation to pause. In this episode of Holy Muck, somatic coach and Trauma Touch Therapist, Carol Holguin, guides you through a gentle arrival practice designed to help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of safety in the body. Rather than offering tools to fix or push through discomfort, this episode centers presence, permission, and grounding as the foundation for healing. This episode is especially supportive if you: • Feel stuck in survival mode • Struggle with anxiety or emotional overload • Feel behind, lost, or unsure what comes next • Are tired of trying to “do healing right” Through simple sensory awareness and compassionate reflection, you’ll be invited to arrive in your body exactly as you are—without pressure, timelines, or expectations. Arrival isn’t something you do. It’s something you allow. This episode is a place to land when everything feels like too much. If you're looking for a soft landing that helps you each month to return to your own presence, please visit The Return [http://www.bodytosoulcoach.com/the-return-membership].

Episode 6: Grief, Tenderness, and the Hidden Weight of the Holidays

The holidays can bring quiet, aching grief: lost loves, unmet expectations, and the heaviness of what’s missing. In this episode, I offer a gentle space to feel what’s real. No fixing, no pretending. Just presence, compassion, and the courage to name what hurts. If your heart exhaled hearing this, I invite you to continue the journey inside The Return — a yearlong sanctuary for soul-led living.

Episode 3 Creating Space for Curiosity - Replacing judgment with Wild Wonder

Judgment shuts us down. Curiosity cracks us open. In this honest and expansive episode, Carol explores how judgment—especially after trauma or chronic stress—hijacks presence and fuels disconnection. Through personal storytelling, somatic awareness, and sacred disruption, she invites you into the revolutionary act of curiosity. You’ll hear about a murder trial, a marriage argument, and the moment wild wonder softened the walls that judgment built. With guided practices and powerful reflection prompts, this is a sacred space to shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What else might be true?” Because you’re not a problem to fix. You’re a mystery to meet. Feeling called to share your story? Drop me an email. Looking for a place to start?
