Send us a text

Have you ever found yourself reflecting on an emotional misstep, perhaps a time when you reacted impulsively to a loved one, and wished you could handle it with more grace? That's where our guest Dr. Patrick Kilcarr steps in, guiding us through the maze of emotional intelligence. As the New Year beckons, we're often enticed by the allure of resolutions, but the harsh reality is that a staggering 91% of us are set up for disappointment. This episode peels back the layers of why these well-meant promises to ourselves fall apart, highlighting the critical role emotional intelligence plays in not only shaping our personal ambitions but also in enriching our relationships and professional endeavors.
Join me on Holly's Highlights podcast as we tread through the five pillars of emotional intelligence, unraveling how they interweave within the fabric of our day-to-day interactions and the importance of continuously nurturing these skills. We juxtapose the concept of EQ as a journey, not a destination, and the significance of offering ourselves and others the grace to navigate the ebbs and flows of our emotions.
To cap off this enlightening episode, we probe into the vast influence of emotional intelligence on leadership and personal success, underscoring the astonishing claim that up to 80% of our life's achievements could be tied to our EQ. It's not just about the resolutions we set but about the conscious effort to enhance our emotional faculties for a more rewarding and accomplished existence. Dr. Kilcarr's insights are a beacon for anyone looking to elevate their emotional intelligence, offering a cup of wisdom for the soul as we embark on a New Year's journey of transformation.

2 years ago Holly’s Highlights podcast released. We have just released our 62 episode, have reached sponsorship level, have celebrated yet another goal with our listenership and even have listeners on every continent - how cool is that?! I never would have imagined that here I’d be two years into this, someone who honestly hadn’t even listened to podcasts, and I am absolutely LOVING it! 😍

‌Although my podcast came into fruition as result of pre-planning for my book to be published, there are many reasons podcasts are created:
- promote your brand, product or services
- share about a topic you are passionate about
- position yourself as an expert or authority in your industry
- to increase your audience for other avenues
- create community
- or perhaps just because it's fun!
‌Unfortunately only 32% of podcasts make it to their 1st to 3rd year. There are 55% of Americans who listened to podcasts, 51% of those are males, and 79% tend to listen to podcasts while commuting. The most popular age group listening to podcasts? Ages 35-54.
Now, if you have learned anything from me I hope it’s the importance of having a growth mindset. So, today we have Meredith Hackwith Edwards, host of Meredith for Real podcast, with us on Holly's Highlights podcast to help us learn the ins and outs of starting a podcast.
Take Aways:
- steps to starting your own podcast
- equipment suggestions to help you excel
- suggestions of where to host your show
- podcasting distribution links vs. you tube podcasting
- how to reach your audience, promote your show, and build your reach
- what sponsorships look like
- hacks and tips to relieve the stress of podcasting
We know that starting something new can be scary! But overall, remember that when God calls you to something, do it! No matter the unknowns, the fears, the insecurities nor the investments - where He leads, He’ll provide and bless too.
‌Again, on this 2nd anniversary of Holly’s Highlights podcast I just want to say - Thank you! Thank you for supporting the show by listening. Thank you to the amazing guests who have invested time and shared their talent to help us all learn and grow. And thank you sponsors for making this possible. If you’d like to learn more about sponsorship send me a message at [email protected].
‌I welcome you to share the podcast with your friends, neighbors, coworkers and family. I would value your rating and comments wherever you listen to podcasts (apple podcasts, overcast, spotify, the list goes on). And I always welcome your feedback on topics you’d like to learn about and/or people you’d like to learn from on Holly’s Highlights podcast.
‌It truly is a pleasure getting to encourage, inspire, and equip others to intentionally live their life full of purpose - thank you for doing just that in

Now, I love a good romantic movie, but I gotta tell ya - never have I seen such a love story as my parents. Today would have been my parents' 54th wedding anniversary (my mom passed away almost 3 years ago to cancer).

Unfortunately, our society has gone from our grandparents being married 75+ years, to our parents maybe celebrating their 50th as my parents did, to my generation (Gen X) only having 48% of marriages surviving. As divorce rates are on the rise for the Millennials, it’s the new Gen Z who have exchanged marriage for simply living together.
So today, I thought we’d take a look at tips of how to have a healthy and happy marriage from someone who seems to have gotten it right - my dad. Now I wish this could be an interview with both my parents today, but I am grateful to both of them for their faithfulness to each other and God through their marriage, to where I have the safety, security, and legacy they have shown and are leaving to us kids and our kids - of what marriage was intended to look like - - -one that is selfless, team work minded, fun, full of laughter and adventure through life, supportive, forgiving, self-controlling, thriving, encouraging, serving, and basically one that stood the test of time.
Check out today's episode of Holly's Highlights podcast, How to Have a Happy and Healthy Marriage, to learn their secret.
