Hi Holly! I think it’s refreshing that you chose to be real in a world where so many people choose the opposite. Thank you so much and I wish you blessings!!

[Julesut]

Good conversation. I am a 72 yr old widow of 5 years, still healing and finding my way and very thankful for God’s provision each day…..doesn’t mean I don’t have pity parties once in a while while in the valleys and there have been are are still many. But God is good and walks with us-so thankful!

[kimhendley]

Many prayers for Holly as she continues this crazy journey, and being so resilient-I can only imagine how frustrating all this has got to be. Excited that she’s met someone.

[glendamcgaughey]

My best friend is a financial advisor. She says never use a debit card for anything but withdrawing money from the bank. I’m so glad I listened to that advice.
I’m so happy Holly that you have found someone to share your time with. Very impressed with your faith and positivity during hard times! What a great friendship you have in each other!

[kristenfitzgerald-rz]

So happy for Holley. She looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Dominique, listen to you every week! Two beautiful ladies.

Hi Holly it was so lovely to see you again, thank you for sharing your life with us. You and Dominique have such a beautiful sisterhood, it is precious. Dominique you’re the best. 💕

[karenhodges]

Thank you for sharing your faith and journeys. For 18 years after a divorce, I asked God to prepare a life partner for me and to prepare me for him. In 2021, I reconnected with a friend who had lost his lovely wife. We share our love for God, fsmily, veterans, travel, etc. He showed me true love... God's love. He cared for me while healing from a bad motorcycle accident, and I helped him through his battle with cancer. He passed 2 months ago. He was a blessing in my life. Thank you both for sharing your faith.

[snowangel]

I would watch Holly and Dom every day as it is so humbling, and God bless you both and all of us. Love you girls ❤

This podcast comes at a perfect time for me. At age 68, I am facing retirement in a few months. I am divorced (a long time), mother of a 31 year old son who's married, and the grandmother of a sassy & sweet girl. I have been in a career for 45+ years. I must redefine myself and set goals for my future. What do I want to be or do? Just be ME! And that's ok!

[rhondaduhe]

Thank you both for talking about the elephant in the room! Lack of compassion and empathy in this current world! So disheartening and hurtful! You are a trooper Holly! Hang in there, you are finding you way! ❤ 🙏🏻

[alicekariuki]

Nice to see you Holley. Sorry you have had such a rough time. You are looking great. wishing you all the best as you navigate a new relationship.💝

[mayracalderon]

This is probably one of my favorite podcasts I've seen from you, Dominique. Always enjoy seeing you and Holly and showcase the beautiful friendship you two have. So many things resonated with me today. Thank you for being open and insightful to many wonen. Life is hard, especially at this stage of our lives, and having a platform like yours feels so good to listen to. Keep doing what you are doing. May God bless you always❤

[patriciaenglund]

To have a friendship so dear is precious, and to be able to share such meaningful and relatable experiences is priceless. Holley, when you said you put your head down on the washing machine, that didn’t just speak to me, it hit me in the face. Those are really dark moments but they do wake you up. Thank you so much for sharing and wishing you enormous blessings. ❤

[Erika-Coach]

This podcast, especially the last half? Was just so touching, uplifting, sentimental. I could go on and on. Thank you two ladies for opening up about so much. That there are many more women going through the same processes of “valleys” and coming back up. 💕💕💕

[lillianschrader]

I can so relate to this conversation. 18 years ago I made a big move from Connecticut to Texas at the age if 50 to begin a new life with my new loving husband. I was home sick for a few months because I lived in Connecticut all my life but moving here brought me a new beginning, new career, and a calmer life with the support of our loving God. Keep sharing and giving hope to women as the transition to new ways of growing as a woman. My heart goes out to both of you!

[mariadesantis]

Wonderful to see Holley. I am so sorry this happened to her it’s horrible. It’s so hard to be married for many years, you have a home and you raise your babies and then get divorced. I’ve been there and the starting over is heavy but then to have to deal with what Holley’s going through it’s extremely frustrating and overwhelming. The Lord will take her through this. God bless her and keep her. She will be out of this valley soon and back up on the mountain! ❤🙏🏼

[Annie]

Omgosh, the episodes just keep getting better, Dominique!! Love this one so much, love your friendship with Holley, you both are so blessed to have one another found thru Audrey--it's just so heartwarming!! And what a wonderful silver lining (we were grand-dog & housesitting in Houston during H. Beryl--we never had experienced anything like it--so rough w/o power in the Houston heat/humidity and the clean-up after but nothing like what Holley dealt with) but so thankful in Holley's survivor story, so happy for her now too with a new special beau in her life!!! It all shows how God is working in all of "our" lives. ♥

[meditationgodsway]

When I was in a deep valley a friend of mine told me that it is in the valley where the wild Flowers grow!🌸
That really helped me through that valley and others that I've been through since then!
God will make something beautiful out of this suffering! He's good like that!💕

[isabelperezsolar]

I feel so happy for Holley and her new life!!! She irradiates honesty and kindness. She deserves to be HAPPY. I wish her love and peace in her life. ❤❤❤

[suelabonte]

Dominique, that was the most heartfelt, loving, articulate description of what Holly has given you in your friendship. It brought tears to my eyes and I am so grateful for your sake that she gave you the gift of vulnerability. Such a special friendship.
