I'm Hollie, a rural, small town librarian with plenty of stories of my own. My path to becoming an Everyday Expert at Warmer wasn't straight-it was a hurricane of loss, addiction, and emotional turmoil. ❤️ Losing my first husband to suicide left me facing single parenthood and, for a time, a downward spiral into active addiction. The experience of surviving a deeply manipulative and abusive second marriage taught me everything I needed to know about Narcissistic abuse recovery. 💪 Today, I stand two years sober, grounded, and fueled by a simple truth: our hardest experiences are our most powerful teachers. As a mother, including to my amazing transgender child, I've learned that love, non-judgment, and genuine connection are the foundation for true healing. I bring this non-judgmental, lived-experience wisdom to everything I do.
