Breakdown. Breakthrough. Becoming. - Hope Comes to Visit with Holly Plont
What happens when the life you asked for arrives — and it’s not what you wanted, but exactly what your soul needed?
In this episode, I sit down with Holly Plont — a devoted mother of two, wife to her best friend, and a woman who found herself standing in the middle of the dream life she had worked so hard to build… only to realize it didn’t feel like home.
We talk about the courage it takes to pivot, to listen when life nudges (or shoves) you in a new direction, and the quiet wisdom that comes from trusting the process. Holly shares how faith, surrender, deep inner work, and grace guided her back to herself — how she now finds hope in the everyday moments, and how every detour is ultimately leading her back to herself.
This is an episode about waking up. About letting go of the shoulds. About trusting that sometimes the breakdown is what leads to the breakthrough — and becoming who you were always meant to be.
