Holy Muck is a place to let your hair down.
To get your hands dirty.
To say yes, and move through the muck.
Even when it’s hard, or messy, or dark.
This isn’t self-help.
It’s soul reckoning.
Expect sobbing, swearing, laughter, and truth.
We talk healing, embodiment, sobriety, creativity, trauma, and transformation —
with zero fluff and full permission.
You won’t find a guru here.
Just sacred chaos, wild remembering,
and the raw beauty of getting real —
one messy, magical conversation at a time.

Episode 7: Arrival — A Nervous System Reset for Overwhelm and Anxiety
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is an invitation to pause.
In this episode of Holy Muck, somatic coach and Trauma Touch Therapist, Carol Holguin, guides you through a gentle arrival practice designed to help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of safety in the body. Rather than offering tools to fix or push through discomfort, this episode centers presence, permission, and grounding as the foundation for healing.
This episode is especially supportive if you:
• Feel stuck in survival mode
• Struggle with anxiety or emotional overload
• Feel behind, lost, or unsure what comes next
• Are tired of trying to “do healing right”
Through simple sensory awareness and compassionate reflection, you’ll be invited to arrive in your body exactly as you are—without pressure, timelines, or expectations.
Arrival isn’t something you do.
It’s something you allow.
This episode is a place to land when everything feels like too much.
If you're looking for a soft landing that helps you each month to return to your own presence, please visit The Return.
Please like, review, and share this episode with anyone you think will benefit.

The holidays can bring quiet, aching grief — lost loves, unmet expectations, and the heaviness of what’s missing.

If your heart exhaled hearing this, I invite you to continue the journey inside The Return — a yearlong sanctuary for soul-led living.

Episode 4: Starting in the Muck: Embodiment, Truth & the Nervous System
In this episode, we dive deep into the sacred, uncomfortable, and profoundly healing terrain of the body. I'm joined by Nancy Yerger, a brilliant somatic therapist who offers powerful insight into what it really means to begin again - to meet ourselves in the muck, to feel what's been long buried, and to trust the wisdom stored in our nervous system.
This is a must-listen for anyone feeling numb, overwhelmed," frustrated with still having something left after lots of healing work", or just off, and longing for a deeper way back home.
