In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Holly Haag , holistic health coach and founder of The Healing Haul , whose life was shaped by severe childhood abuse, generational trauma, and multiple autoimmune diagnoses—including Multiple Sclerosis. Through years of research and personal healing, Holly now helps others understand the connection between trauma, chronic illness, and whole-body healing. Rather than accepting that illness would define her future, Holly began searching for the deeper "why." Her journey led her through therapy, EMDR, nervous system healing, nutrition, detoxification, mindset work, and learning how unresolved trauma can influence physical health. In this conversation, you'll discover: • How childhood trauma can impact long-term physical health • Why genetics may load the gun, but stress can pull the trigger • The connection between nervous system regulation and autoimmune disease • Why becoming your own safe person is one of the most important parts of healing • Practical habits that support both emotional and physical wellness If Holly's story resonates with you, you can learn more about her work at The Healing Haul , and connect with her on Facebook , TikTok , and Instagram : • Facebook: The Healing Haul on Facebook • TikTok: @thehealinghaul • Instagram: @thehealinghaul2022 Whether you're navigating childhood trauma, chronic illness, or simply searching for hope, Holly's message is clear: healing doesn't happen overnight—but with small, consistent steps, it is possible.
