Holly Porter is a CEO, retreat leader, and survivor of a 70-day battle with COVID. She shares her story from intubation and isolation to clarity and purpose. She returned with direction, firm boundaries, and a mission that reshaped her work and her life. In the ICU, she lost all five senses. She describes the silence, the sameness of masked faces, and the rare moments of contact that kept her connected. She recounts an out-of-body experience in a “Stadium of Light” and a meeting with ancestors who told her one word: fight. From that moment, she received two instructions. Start a nonprofit called Adventure Bucket Wish. Decline a business partnership that did not align. Her return brought hard years. Legal issues. Family conflict. Emotional strain. Holly explains how hypnosis, community, and reflection helped her rebuild. She learned to say no, to draw lines, and to turn her pain into service. If you are a founder, leader, or caregiver facing burnout, you will hear clear lessons. Trust your inner direction. Protect your time and energy. Grow through recovery instead of rushing through it. This is a story of resilience, leadership, and faith in your own path. Follow the show. Share it with someone who needs strength. Leave a review so others can find hope too.
