Transcript

[Holly Henry]

Well, in my life, searching everywhere on the outside, searching in relationships, searching even in being a mother in family. And didn't find the answers because what we are searching for is in ourselves. You are the key to your own wholeness.

[Narrator]

Holly Henry is a soulful guide, intuitive storyteller, and the heart behind wholeness. With Holly, devoted to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and sense of wholeness.

[Interviewer]

Someone comes in and they've sort of suffered some loss. Right. Or maybe they've got divorced. Right. Or what's changed when they leave, they.

[Holly Henry]

Have clarity in what to do next. They surrender something that they have felt has been strangling them.

[Interviewer]

And if someone's afraid to start and take the leap of faith, what would you say?

[Holly Henry]

Ask yourself, how can I love myself enough to take the leap?

[Sam]

It spans the globe like a super highest cold Internet. Elvis Presley. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the bomb. It's not over until I win. The Living youg Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy that's extraordinary. The impossible has happened. Oh, that is sensational. Jordan Open Chicago with the lead Usain Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream foreign.

[Interviewer]

Welcome back to another episode of Legacy Maker. Sat here today with Holly and she has a very unique business and how she helps people. And we're going to dive into it today. She helps people connect and hear their own inner voice. And that obviously has a string of benefits and, and attachment to it that you may be wondering, well, how does that work? What does that mean? Right, right. And I'm excited to dive into exactly how, how she does that. So welcome to the show.

[Holly Henry]

Thank you.

[Interviewer]

So you help people hear their own inner voice. Right. To build a better connection with themselves and spiritually and trust themselves. So, so can you just elaborate on how you got here and why you're doing this and how it helps people?

[Holly Henry]

Well, in my life, searching everywhere on the outside, searching in relationships, searching even in being a mother in family and didn't find the answers because they are all what we are searching for is in ourselves. So we have our own knowing, we have our own wisdom. And that relationship, that intimate relationship that we have, each person can have with themselves, with their inner knowing is important.

[Interviewer]

Yeah. I've heard a saying that it's like people say, the answer is within.

[Holly Henry]

Right.

[Interviewer]

So it's kind of a elaboration of that. Right. So, so how. Why do people come to you, you know, for this help? Are they going through a traumatic event? Are they going through depression? Have they Lost hope. Is there a catalyst that people say, you know, I need your help?

[Holly Henry]

All of those things either. Like, I've a person going through a divorce, a grandmother losing their grandchild, every situation, and they come and they ask. I give spiritual sessions. I also hear their guides and their angels. But what I like the most is having them connect with their inner knowing.

[Interviewer]

I love it. So if someone's listening, they're like, this sounds crazy. I don't understand it. Can you help them visualize? How does that work? Right. Do you sit down with them? Do you go onto the top of a mountain? Are you on a zoom call?

[Holly Henry]

Either a zoom call or in person. And we sit like this, but maybe a little closer. And usually before they come, then I will ask their angels to come in and clear the space. And then when they come in, it is just a quiet conversation mostly and beautiful. When a person sits in front of me, then I get to experience how loved they are. So it usually feels very loving.

[Interviewer]

And it's one time or like multiple sessions or.

[Holly Henry]

Yeah, they can have one session or if they're working through. Like, if they're going through a divorce and it's lasting two years and they're struggling, detaching from whatever the divorce is throwing at them, then we work together. I work together with mostly women once a week. Then they'll. We'll talk once a week, and they'll tell me what's coming up in their journey in their life, and we'll talk through it and listen to. Usually when I give sessions, then when we are transitioning or transforming something, then it's uncomfortable. And sometimes we have trouble hearing our own knowing. And each time I speak and I hear their knowing and their angels and their guides, then they'll know it. They're like, I knew that. I know that. That's my favorite.

[Interviewer]

Someone comes in and they've suffered some loss, Right. Or maybe they've got divorced. Right? What is. What happens within that sort of hour session or however long? What is the outcome? How do they feel? What's changed when they leave?

[Holly Henry]

My feedback is they have clarity in what to do next, to surrender. They surrender something that they have felt has been strangling them, and they feel loved.

[Interviewer]

And how did you get into all this?

[Holly Henry]

I've always been close to the divine. I guess when I was young, then I had a brother that died before I was born, so I didn't know him here in the human experience. And he was always with me. And I've always had angels talking to me. And in My age, learning to hear my own voice and knowing how important that relationship is for each and every one of us.

[Interviewer]

How long have you been doing the one on one and doing this more as a coaching service and a consulting service? Has this been for a long time?

[Holly Henry]

I would say I think 25, 26 years.

[Interviewer]

Wow. And what were. What are some of the wildest breakthroughs in that time?

[Holly Henry]

Honestly, my favorite is that they realize that they are part of the divine and that they are loved. I mean, there are things that people that have died, sometimes they come through and they give messages that are personal. But really my favorite aha's are when the. They know that they have a voice that they can trust and it is their own knowing and that they are what they've been searching for. That's my favorite.

[Interviewer]

And so someone's listening now that may be fascinated by this whole concept and what you're doing. Right. How do they, you know, where can they go and find you and learn.

[Holly Henry]

And experience this on Instagram, I am. I am Holly. And on Facebook, it's just Holly Henry. And it's wholeness with Holly. I have that also.

[Interviewer]

Great. And. And you also have a book. You. You know the other ways to learn about this, right?

[Holly Henry]

That is you are your own. You are the key to your own wholeness.

[Interviewer]

And tell us about that. What, you know, what. What will they experience going through that?

[Holly Henry]

Well, I had an interesting experience where the title of the book came from. I talked about it on the interview where I was at a thing with Kira. And in the morning I got in my makeup bag and there was this little decorative key. I don't know how it got in there, but when I picked it up, I heard really clear, you are the key to your own wholeness. And I've been hearing you are what you are searching for. And I've been hearing, hearing so many things from my own knowing and from my angels and guides and things like that. So when I. My friend was already at the. At the event and I. So I was excited to tell her, so I went there and I was telling her about the key that I found, and she started laughing and she said, let me take your picture. And I was standing in the shrubs. The bush was shaped like a keyhole. So I was standing in the middle of the keyhole holding this little key, saying, I heard I was the key to my own wholeness and I was the key in the keyhole.

[Interviewer]

Wow.

[Holly Henry]

So that's where the title of the book came from.

[Interviewer]

Love that. And if people read the Book, what is, what are they going to learn and get from the book?

[Holly Henry]

That they are. That, that they are part of the divine, that to get quiet and center and that they will know and that they can trust their own knowing and the relationship that they have with themselves, with having nothing in between, just that one on one relationship with the divine is. It's delicious.

[Interviewer]

Love.

[Holly Henry]

It's important too.

[Interviewer]

Good. And let's talk about, you know, I'd love to talk more about the, the long term side, the legacy side. Right. What, what is it that you're trying to help the world achieve or people achieve around the world?

[Holly Henry]

Well, I think right now as a collective then we have, in my belief, we've chosen to create a more loving world and I want to be a part of that. And so to bring in the divine, which is love to me. So to bring in love to have a more loving world and to care for one another more and to listen to our own voice, to me, our own voice is loving. So that's, that's what my passion is.

[Interviewer]

Love it. And what does the word legacy mean to you?

[Holly Henry]

To me, legacy is just being present and moving through your life in, in the presence. Then the shifts that it makes and and creates are the legacy.

[Interviewer]

And, and now, you know, my last couple of questions, I love to ask people on this. If someone's watching and they want to start their, you know, maybe they're in a job, right. But they've always been passionate about helping people just like you have. What would you say to them if they want to build their own legacy? What's some tips from, you know, doing all this and doing, you know, doing something different in life than a typical 9 to 5.

[Holly Henry]

Maybe it does take courage and just really in my mind to live authentically. And if you're not having fun, why do it? So just to be on purpose. I think it is just to live life authentically. Then you're on purpose. How can you not be?

[Interviewer]

And if someone's afraid to start and take the leap of faith, what would you say?

[Holly Henry]

Ask yourself to get quiet and ask yourself, how can I love myself enough to take the leap?

[Interviewer]

I like that. I like that a lot. Good. And last, you know, a couple of questions. What do you want your legacy to be?

[Holly Henry]

I would like to see this world to be taking care of one another, to be a part of that in whatever shape and form shows up and this is the way it's showing up today. This is what I'm doing today.

[Interviewer]

Good. And people are watching this. They're fascinated by what you do, how you help people. You already told them where they can go to maybe learn more about you and work with you. But give them some nuggets. What are they going to get from your episode? What sneak peeks are they going to get?

[Holly Henry]

Just how to listen to their own voice and that the experiences here on this earth doesn't change anything. It doesn't change. They are still part of the divine.

[Interviewer]

Great love that. And and last question, just to summarize, if they want to work with you, book a zoom call, right and go through this process. What's the best next step for them to do that?

[Holly Henry]

To message me on Facebook under Holly Henry I think would own her Instagram. I am Holly.
