  • Patience and Kindness: Lessons from our Three-Legged Hero
    Aug 30 2024

    Send us a text

    Missing an episode due to the chaos of the back-to-school season might have once sent me into a spiral of self-criticism, but through the growth and progress I’ve made in therapy, my reaction has evolved. This week, I share a vulnerable reflection on how therapy has shaped my response to small hiccups and celebrate a significant personal milestone—reading 49 books, inspired by the remarkable Jim Kwik. I also introduce you to the newest member of our family, Tripp, our courageous and resilient three-legged dog. Tripp’s journey post-amputation has been a profound source of learning about adjusting expectations and finding patience and kindness in the face of adversity. Join me in this episode as we uncover the lessons learned from Tripp’s resilience and how these experiences can inspire us to show compassion to ourselves and others. Your support means the world to me, and together, we’ll continue navigating our journeys with patience and kindness.

    Hollie Holden’s Poem:


    'Today I asked my body what she needed,

    Which is a big deal

    Considering my journey of

    Not Really Asking That Much.


    I thought she might need more water.

    Or protein.

    Or greens.

    Or yoga.

    Or supplements.

    Or movement.


    But as I stood in the shower

    Reflecting on her stretch marks,

    Her roundness where I would like flatness,

    Her softness where I would like firmness,

    All those conditioned wishes

    That form a bundle of

    Never-Quite-Right-Ness,


    She whispered very gently:

    Could you just love me like this?'

    -Hollie Holden
