Divorce to Friendship: Holly Hoffman

Ms. Holly Hoffman [https://hollyhoffman.org] was in the studio today and the energy level in here tripled! Her joyous spirit is contagious and it’s not hard to understand why she is a nationally renowned inspirational speaker [https://hollyhoffman.org].  Besides being a speaker, Holly was a reality TV star on Survivor: Nicaragua [https://hollyhoffman.org/survivor-nicaragua/] Season 21. She’s an author, mom, and a proud grandma. In this episode, Holly won’t be talking about her typical topic.  For the first time ever, she’s going to share publicly, her difficult experience with divorce. Holly hopes her story of transformational change will help normalize talking openly about mental health, remind those struggling with a similar situation to focus on what they can control, and provide hope that life after divorce can be positive. I believe it’s safe to say that Holly has gone from being a Survivor to a thriver!  So grab a glass, relax and get ready for Holly’s Whine to Wisdom.
