Return to Wholeness
66 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratingsWelcome to Return to Wholeness, a podcast for women who previously believed in dogma; whether that’s religion, diets or ideology, who found that they needed to fragment themselves and live into the expectations of others in order to feel safe in that environment and truly belong.
Through powerful conversations, as well as my own personal musings, this podcast is intended to help you call back those fragmented parts of yourself so that you can integrate the fullness of who you are as a spiritual being, having a human experience (or is it the other way around).
In this space we love to explore the grey. The nuance. The complexity. Because this is where YOUR magic truly lies.
My name is Holly Toronto and I am an Embodiment Coach + Spiritual Mentor. I help women stop living their lives through the lens of other’s expectations of beauty, belief or behavior so that they can live their life from a place of Wholeness, fully aligned with the truth of who they are.
I’m so glad you’re here and I’m excited to explore these topics with you.

EP 11: This Might Get Me Cancelled, A Manifesto
May 17, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 46 MBIn this week’s episode, I said the thing. Things that had been sitting in my throat, festering for far too long. Things that might get me labeled, called out or cancelled. But I’ve realized that living in fear of cancellation doesn’t actually serve anyone. It doesn’t serve you, me, clients, friends, community or the world at large. Cancellation, whether experienced directly or living in fear of it, perpetuates objectification. It reduces human beings into objects that should alwa...
