Sane-ish Podcast
A humorous (and serious) nod to the recovery journey. Because imperfections make the best comeback stories. Here recovery is unlimited and all inclusive…
Holley Broughton is a resilient Texan mom whose life story is a testament to the power of perseverance and hope. For 18 years, Holley has been on a journey of recovery from alcoholism and addiction, battling and overcoming the darkest of adversities. Facing the darkest corners of homelessness, domestic violence, and narcissistic abuse, she emerged stronger, turning her struggles into powerful advocacy.
Her voice is a lifeline for those trapped in silence, offering wisdom and comfort to fellow survivors. Despite facing the heartbreaking reality of being alienated from her 14-year-old daughter for the past (nearly) five years, Holley has transformed her pain into purpose. She has become a passionate advocate, light worker, and motivational speaker, bringing healing and inspiration to all who cross her path. Holley and her guests skillfully help listeners and viewers step into their own power.
By sharing her own journey with raw honesty and heartfelt compassion, offering support and encouragement to those who are struggling, Holley helps guide them on their path to healing. Her mission is to help build and increase the listener’s own confidence proving that no matter how tough life gets, there is always a way to rise and thrive (sprinkled with humor and four letter words, of course). Join Holley and her guests as they open up about their life, advocacy work, and Holley’s unwavering belief in the power of the human spirit.

Hey everybody, it's Holly from the Stanish Podcast. I just wanted to give you guys an update and let you know that we are back on track. We have had quite a month the last month. I had taken off Labor Day week, and then some national events happened, which affected me deeply, as well as some other people or a lot of people, one way or the other. And then, you know, I was finishing up my certifications, four of them, which I completed, started a new class. A few of my guests came down with something. I don't know if something's going around, but we had to reschedule. Then I had to have a procedure done on my leg. I had to have a procedure done on my leg. It was just one thing after another. So a week turned into a month. So I appreciate your patience with me. And Tiffany B's episode is currently out now. Stacia Morris's episode was supposed to be the next one that came out. However, another another one of one of our little uh my things is I'm learning how to edit and not very well. The sanish way. Let's just put it that way. I'm learning how to edit the sanish way. And she's been very kind and gracious. I've been trying to keep her updated so that she knows that I'm not like disregarding her podcast as. So she's been very kind. But I am trying to learn how to edit, and uh it's going very slowly. So uh, but I need to learn this stuff, so you know, there's that. So just wanted to let you know that Natalie Forchuk is also, well, she's also been going through some stuff as well. So I'm glad I'm not the only one, although I her stuff, uh you know, I'm I've been fully in support of her. My cat is trying to be uh an attention poor right now. But anyway, I've been fully in support of her. But she will be back, and we will be doing another episode on parental alienation and this week. So there's that too, and so I'm looking forward to it. But it has been a rough past month for sure, just trying to get everything back on track. So there you go. It's it's sanish. And and that's what I've been trying to tell everybody, you know, these people who put these pe these uh, you know, perfect pictures out here saying that they have a perfect life, you know, yeah, right. Life ain't like that. I hate to tell ya. You know, maybe once in a while, but that's not how my life goes. I hate to tell you. Hey, if if it is, let me know. Give me the secret because I don't know. I'm just very grateful to have have a very supportive and understanding partner in my life who will listen to me and is very supportive, and he doesn't judge and he's he's he's the best, actually. So I've I and I've never had that in my life. So very grateful. So so anyway, just wanted to give you an update, let you know we're back on track. Thank you for your patience, and you know, we will have some more resources, some more, you know, some great guests and some more inspiration for you. So if it helps, this is how it goes in the saneish land. So just know you're not alone and keep plugging, keep moving forward, and we'll see you soon, okay? So peace, loves, and be gone.
