In this powerful episode of Flying Upstream, host Luisa Anderson sits down with Lupus Coach and entrepreneur Holly B. to explore how chronic illness—specifically lupus—became a catalyst for empowerment, healing, and purpose-led entrepreneurship.
Holly shares her deeply personal health journey, from the exhaustion of chronic fatigue to her autoimmune diagnosis, and how alternative healing, mindset shifts, and a deep understanding of the body’s wisdom led her to create the Health Bridge Protocol.
