17: The Holistic Dolly on Finding the Roots of Healing (Part 1)

In the first episode of SHIFT Talking in 2025, Davina kicks off the year with an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with The Holistic Dolly—an experienced Trauma Recovery Registered Nurse, licensed in California, and Holistic Mental Health Life Coach. Specializing in childhood trauma recovery and codependency healing, Dolly shares her unique, holistic approach to rebuilding self-love and mental health through her concept of the five self-love languages.In Part 1 of this three-part series, Davina and Dolly explore profound themes of trauma recovery, self-love, and the cultural influences that shape mental health practices. Dolly reflects on her personal journey, the impact of childhood trauma, and how it shaped her path to becoming a guiding light for others. Together, they unpack the foundational self-love language of self-attunement—learning to deeply connect with every part of yourself, even the messy ones—and discuss the distinction between empathy and compassion in the healing process.This engaging conversation is the perfect way to start the new year, offering practical insights, emotional depth, and hope for what’s possible when we prioritize self-love and holistic healing.00:22 Welcome to SHIFT Talking02:45 Introducing The Holistic Dolly05:23 The Benefits of a Virtual Landscape10:50 How Culture Drives Coaching16:57 The Five Self Love Languages BookGet in Touch with The Holistic Dolly: Follow Dolly on social media for more!Instagram & Threads: @the.holistic.dollyYoutube: @theholisticdollyWebsite: www.theholisticdolly.com Get in Touch with Davina: Follow Davina on social media for more resources, tips, and insights into emotional literacy and personal growth:TikTok: @asteadyspaceInstagram & Threads: @asteadyspace | @your_steady_space | @shifttalkingwithdavinaYoutube: @shifttalkingwithdavinaVisit www.asteadyspace.com for more information about coaching services and programs.Join the Community: Ready to take the next step in your emotional growth journey?
