If you haven’t fallen in love with her by the end of this episode, we’ll give you your money back!</p> <p>This episode is for you, if you struggle with perfectionism, or you struggle with finding the silver lining during the hard times, or you find change crippling.</p> <p>Even as big pivot fans ourselves; she mirrored back to us how important it is to reflect upon our pivot points - learn to love them (however hard they were/are) and move through them.</p> <p>She talks about pivots as a gateway. And that in order for something to be born something else must die, meaning pivots must have a moment of mourning and celebration. We need to stay soft at these times, to let the new in.</p> <p>She speaks of herself as a midwife - helping new ideas and change into the world - with support and love.</p> <p>She speaks of motherhood - ‘allowing another human to unfold’. There is no point wishing a ‘tulip bulb will grow to be a rose’.</p> <p>She asks beautiful, insightful questions such as: How can we be loved into our next pivot?, How do I work with what I’ve been given?, What’s the gift here?, What’s the invitation’</p> <p><strong>Find her here:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.hollieholden.me/"><u>http://www.hollieholden.me/</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollieholdenlove/?hl=en"><u>@hollieholdenloves</u></a></p> <p><strong>Resources she also mentioned:</strong></p> <p>Her non religious spiritual practice is based in ‘A Course in Miracles’ - it’s an awakening spiritual path.
