Kat Thorne: Welcome back to the Positive Habits podcast. I am very delighted this evening to have a very special guest, my good friend, Holly Myers. Welcome, Holly. Hello. So the reason I wanted to get Holly on the podcast is because I think she's a shining example of somebody who is continuously pushing outside of their comfort zone, including coming on the podcast, right? ⁓ yeah. I'm really nervous. No good lies. But what is it that makes you or other people nervous of podcasting, do you think? Because you're just sitting here, you know me really well, no one's here except us and the microphone. What is it that makes you nervous? I think it's actually sharing my story to a wider audience. I'm quite happy telling people at work my story, friends my story, but knowing that it's going out to more people. It's just, I think it's the fear of being vulnerable. That's the hard thing that I'm struggling with at the minute. But I know that if I tell my story and it will help even just one person, then I know I've done a good job. And you have started sharing your story. So what is the difference in sharing it to like, you you've shared some, you've got a whole Instagram dedicated to a girl starting over. So you're sharing things on there, you're sharing things with people you know. What makes it more vulnerable sharing on a podcast? you think where somebody in America or Canada or, I mean, we've got listeners all around the world, amazingly. ⁓ I think, well, I basically started my Instagram up as almost like an online journal. So it was my thoughts, feelings, rather than written down on a piece of paper. It was put on Instagram, social media platform. But I think for me doing the social media, I can do it at my own pace and I can really think about what I'm about to post and have time to really reflect on it. And when you do something like a podcast, I feel like you are a little bit more vulnerable because you can be prepared at a certain extent. but you can't always be prepared. And then it's, I'm scared of saying the wrong thing or not explaining myself very well. With social media, you have some control over what you post and the content that you post. So why did you agree to do this podcast? So I've been through a lot over the last two years. I basically ended a 15 year relationship with my husband. We were together 15 years, married for six. And this is kind of part of my growth journey. I want to push myself out of my comfort zone, do things that I wouldn't normally do. And it's just a journey that I'm on where I'm kind of discovering myself. And I want to, if I can, help people. Obviously, I come to our group on Sunday mornings, Women Who Plunge, and that was something that was completely out of my comfort zone. But when I'd split from my ex-husband, I knew there was going to be weekends where I'd be on my own. I wouldn't see anyone. So pushing myself out of that comfort zone and meeting new people, I think has really helped me grow. but also as well, I've met people that I've connected with that have actually shared the same experiences as me. So not only have I helped people when they've come to speak to me and shared their stories, actually their stories have helped me too. Yeah, it's something I just need to do. just... neater, is it they say, like feel the fear and do it anyway. Because this is the journey that I'm on at the minute, I'm on a growth journey. And if I just stay where I am, stagnant, not moving, and nothing is going to change. So by doing something that makes me feel really uncomfortable, like doing a podcast and just speaking freely can only be a good thing for me. And I think one of the problems in life is we're not taught how to, we're not taught how important it is to challenge ourselves, how to step out of our comfort zone. We're not taught how to regulate ourselves. And you mentioned obviously the C-dipping group and I've talked about it on the podcast before, Women Who Plunge, it started in August 2025. This episode's going out in May, 2026. And it's just grown, hasn't it? And it's been amazing to watch how much it's helping people in ways that I don't think anyone could have dreamed about. But still we have people, I mean, you nearly didn't do this podcast. And we still have people who don't come and see us, don't come and join in because anxiety and fear and doubt is holding them back. And do know what? I am sick and tired of fear and doubt and anxiety and other people holding us back. We get one life and at the end of the day, I think we have to hand put our hands up and say we are responsible for our lives. for me, one of the really important things in my life now is just, I building a life that I love? And if you can ask yourself the same, like, is the life that you're building one that you love and one that you want to love? Yeah, and I think, I mean, this is, it's probably the same for anybody that is approaching a milestone birthday, but I'm 40 next year. So I did not expect to be at this stage of my life at almost 40. I thought when I was getting married to my ex, that was it. We'd be together forever. We brought a house together. We possibly would have had children. And then suddenly at the age of 39, being divorced. and having to completely start your life over again is, it's really, really difficult. And I just thought if I'm not going to do it now, when am I going to do it? And it's, it's been a real, real struggle being with someone for 15 years and then suddenly having the rug pulled out from beneath you and you just don't know where to begin. Like I never lived on my own before. My ex-husband dealt with all the bills. It was just a complete shock to my system. I didn't know where to start. And I thought going down to the shoreline on a Sunday, meeting everybody down there was going to give me comfort knowing that actually I'm going to probably meet like-minded people down on the shoreline. We all have something in common. It might not be what you think it is, but actually we're all getting into the sea together as one, all together. You share the laughs on the shoreline. You share how cold it is when you get out and you're frantically like looking for your towel to try and dry off. And that is a massive part of it. But for me having something that I can do every single Sunday. that is part of my routine because I thrive on routine. I'm one these people that, know, meal prep, get up at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time, I have to have routine. And once you leave a relationship where all those routines are so familiar and you then have to think about your own singular routine, where do you even start? So not only swimming on a Sunday morning provides me with the community. the support that I need and also it provides me with a routine on a Sunday. Because like I said, Sundays, because a lot of my friends are either married, they're in relationships, they've got children, as a single female, it is so difficult to try and find things to do. I mean, I do have a little dog and I do... take her for a walk and I do things with her. I mean, she's been an absolute godsend to me, but finding those people that you can share that experience with and build a bond with, that is something that has really, really helped me over the last seven months because I, I've said this to you before, that women who plunge and the people that I've met, have saved my life. There's been times up until that point where I didn't think I wanted to be here. didn't feel like I had a purpose. Everybody else was off living their own lives and I kind of felt like I was forgotten about. So it's really pulled me out of a dark place. I'm not saying that my growth journey has ended because I honestly believe that our journeys are forever ongoing. There's always something we can learn. There's always something we can do to be a better person. But at the minute, my one almost like anchor is going to the shore on a Sunday and swimming with everyone. Honestly, I know you're getting quite emotional about this and I am too. And it's like, it makes my heart like... so happy that even I, on that day when I stood on the beach, felt the fear and did it anyway. Because obviously we know it started with Stu starting Renhu Plunge a few weeks before that. And when he suggested I should do it, I just rejected it because I just didn't know anyone. And I just thought that nobody would turn up. Now we have so many people, it's hard to hug everyone in the mornings. But I think You know, so many things that you've said that are so important, having an anchor in the week. And I think when you're in a relationship, you completely take those anchors for granted because they're often built around that other person or your family, you know, like, and it's really hard, I think, when you're single and you, you know, you're, you're, think also society doesn't really. reward single people. Society rewards people who are in relationships, who have got children, who have got houses, who are ticking those cliché boxes. And I remember when my sister was going through her second divorce and I sort of chuckled slightly there because she didn't want to divorce a second time because she felt like it would be a failure. And I can imagine there would have been a time for you where you might have felt like ending your very long relationship and marriage would have felt like a failure. ⁓ yeah, like absolutely. I mean, it was something that I had to consider for a couple of years. Obviously I won't go into full detail of what happened, but my ex-husband ⁓ had an addiction, which I tried to support him through. It was just, it was too tough. did everything that I could. I gave so much of myself in the process. I lost who I really was. And I'm in an actually now, because even though I've made connections with the women in our group, I've also made connections with some of the guys from Men Who Plunge who have been through similar circumstances to what my ex-husband had gone through. So actually it's been really refreshing speaking to some of the guys from an addict's point of view, because that's something I never really got from my ex-husband was an understanding really of why he did it, what the drive was behind it. Did he even care about the repercussions of what he was doing while he had his addiction. So speaking to the guys that have gone through it, they have said to me, there is only so much you can do to help that person. And it's that age-old saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And that was at the point where I saw, I can't do this anymore. I had... given so much of myself, given so much of my time. when I made the decision to leave, I still loved my ex-husband. ⁓ I still cared for him deeply. just couldn't do it to myself anymore. was becoming the person that I never, ever wanted to be. I'd actually had a conversation with my mom probably about six months ago and they weren't massively keen on me getting divorced. mean, when I went to go and tell my parents that my marriage was ending, I mean, I'd stayed for another two years to try and support my ex-husband through his addiction. And when I said to my parents that I was finally made the decision, we were getting a divorce. One of the first things my mum said to me was, can you not try for another six months? And I said to her, mum, can't. I've tried for two years. I just can't do this to myself anymore." And then that was quickly followed by, so how are you going to be able to afford a mortgage by yourself? And that did put the fear of God in me, knowing that actually it was only going to be me that is responsible for all the bills, maintenance. working as hard as I can to even put money into savings, but I've done it. mean, it was a long old road to get here. I had to live with two sets of friends with my little dog, Tina, bless her. And they were in Portsmouth and I was in Gossport. And I was traveling back and forth every single day from Gossport to Portsmouth. It was exhausting and they were the times I just thought, have I made a mistake? Should I still be with my ex? Could this make things easier for me? And I just thought, no, like you were so deeply unhappy. There was absolutely no point in you staying in a happy relationship, an unhappy relationship, sorry, for the convenience. And I think what your parents said is very interesting. And I think what's lovely about our community and I'm sure lots of other communities out there is like, there's, don't feel like there's any judgment. Whereas people close to us have got their own, you know, their own self-limiting beliefs, their own patterns. And, you know, your parents probably have a very traditional view on relationships. Once you get married, it's for life. And like, you're not trying hard enough. And I think there's. There's always this balance, isn't there, between actually investing in relationship and having good communication and working as a team and trying to resolve problems. Obviously it's easier to walk away than to work on things. But I think there's also the other extreme, which sounds like was in your case where you had abandoned yourself to such an extent where you were actually, it was actually detrimental for you. And also I think, you're about to turn 40 and that- as well for me was like a big turning point when I ended my long-term relationship because I had a similar experience to you. But I think we should normalize relationships ending and not seeing them as failure, but actually seeing them as success that we were able to admit to ourselves and to those people that this just wasn't right for us anymore. And I also think we get into relationships sometimes with the wrong people at the wrong times for different reasons. Yeah, and I completely agree. it's been almost two years since me and my ex have separated. I have dated like maybe two, three people, but actually they haven't been who I've really wanted to be with because... I now look at everything that I was put through with my ex-husband and not saying that my walls have completely gone up and I'm not open to dating, but I think when I do come to seriously want to date somebody, then the growth that I've had from leaving my ex-husband up until the point now and all the ... skills that I've learned in between how I've, you know, I am currently trying to like do like self-help books and do meditation and really like grow myself and make sure I can be the best person I am before I enter into another relationship. before, you know, I'd like when it comes to dating about, you know, I quite like him, like, ⁓ he's, you know, he's quite good looking, ⁓ he's got a good job. And then actually, I wouldn't really look at anything else. And that was very shallow of me, narrow minded of me. But now that I'm working on myself, and I know that I want to find somebody that wants to do the same, that, you know, has core values the same as me, wants to do, you know, like cold water swimming or like going on adventures and stuff like that. And it's not about someone's job, really how they look. You have to be attracted to someone, but that is not on my list anymore. It is really finding someone that aligns with the person you want to be and you are working towards to be as well. Yeah, I think that's so lovely. And I think that's the same with friendships as well, isn't it? I think one of the reasons like Women Who Plunge is such a beautiful community is because we have this shared desire to do something really, really uncomfortable, really hard together. And in doing that, we have like formed these really strong connections. And obviously you've got a a whole sea full of different people from different ages, different backgrounds, different careers and interests and everything. But I think the more, and I did record a solo episode on this recently, the more you focus on yourself, the less you try to just attract somebody based on the things that you think you should look for. I don't know about your parents, but my dad subconsciously taught me. Like they need to have a good career, they need to come from a good family, like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. And, know, I'm also living proof of marrying somebody with all of those checklist boxes is not the answer to a long and happy, you know, relationship. So I think that's really important. obviously you've been through a really, really challenging breakup and you're now, you know, rebuilding yourself. What would you say to somebody who finds themselves in a difficult relationship where they maybe, I don't know, they're trying to make it work, but they're not sure if they can. Like, have you got any advice for somebody who's in, doesn't know whether to stay or leave? It's so difficult to pinpoint any kind of advice or something in particular. But I think you just get to a point where You have to step back from that situation and step back from it, not be so emotional, not be so invested and look inside as if you're an outsider. Because sometimes when you're in the midst of things, it's so difficult to even process anything that's going on properly. But you just need to take some time for yourself just to reflect. on the situation. And I say that it's difficult because I know that a lot of people had a lot of opinions about mine and my ex's relationship, but you are ultimately the person who has to make that decision. And for me, there was a few things that led up to my final decision, but it was just almost like a light bulb moment for me. you know, when it's the same like the straw that break the camel's back, there wasn't a particular point where I felt broken. I just worked through it as long as I could and then just couldn't do it anymore. But I think if anybody is in that situation and they are struggling, I would probably say, take some time to yourself. So, I mean, luckily me and my ex, we weren't in each other's pockets all the time. You know, he had his own things he liked to do. I had my own things I liked to do. But I know that having that time just away from that person and having that real time to think and reflect did me fight the world of good. And then obviously coming, I mean, I know that I joined Women Who Plunge after. all of this had happened. But it was nice because when I talked to, I've made a few connections with a few of the girls that are there that have been or are currently going through the same situation as me to offer as much advice as I can to them. But then also saying to me, ⁓ Holly, you know what, like I would have done this or I would have done that. So yeah, it's, yeah. it's just so difficult to say the right and wrong thing to do. I have to surround yourself with the right people. Yes, I agree. Really important because I think, and I definitely used to have a tendency of this, saying like, if, because you haven't got the full context of the relationship, you've just got one person's side. Relationships are so complex. And I think it's one of the things we're not really taught about how to navigate different. attachment styles, trauma, know, kids when people have got blended families, all these things I think are really challenging. But one of things for me, and it's one of the reasons why I'm releasing the Morning Game Changer Journal is because I didn't know when I was in my relationship, I knew something was missing. I knew I was unhappy, but I didn't know it was my relationship. I thought it was something else. I actually thought it was because I hadn't had any children. I thought that was the bit that was missing and that was the thing that was making me feel sad. And I can't remember how I came about it, but I read somewhere just to get like a journal or notebook and just start writing down and I couldn't stop writing. And it was like, I made a habit every morning for 10 minutes before I got like went to work and started giving everything to work. All of a sudden, was like day by day, bit by bit, it became clearer and clearer and clearer and clearer. And I was like, oh yeah, wasn't about the baby at all. It was this whole situation with my relationship at the time that was affecting my career. It was affecting everything. And actually I'm a really, really sociable person as you know, and my ex partner wasn't. So I wasn't getting the energy and the interaction that I was like starved of it. And yeah, so I think it's, you can't really give people advice. I think it's really important to listen to people. I think shared stories are really good way of people getting advice. Yeah. And I think, I mean, that's why I chose to kind of do my Instagram page as. like an online journal. Like I do have a journal that I write in, but that's my private stuff that I don't post online. But I did find that posting stuff online to a wider audience has helped a lot of people. I've had- It's amazing, isn't it? Honestly, all I did was I set it up because I just wanted it, like I said, as an online journal, somewhere to document my journey. somewhere to flick back through, read, look at the pictures, just to remind myself in two, three, four, five years time how far I'd come. But I never expected the amount of people to contact me through social media. mean, really paragraphs and paragraphs from people that I've never ever met before just saying, that's incredible, that I've gone through something really similar. how did you navigate it? Like, can you give me any tips? Like, you're doing amazing. And it's like, this is just something I never, ever expected people to compliment you when they don't even know you. And I think that is even though I'd said to you that I was really nervous about doing this podcast, but when I'd spoken to a friend earlier, you know, he said to me, well, why would you not do this? Like, to share your story on a wider platform because you've helped so many people already, not only down on the shoreline with Women Who Plunge, but also through your Instagram. And he was like, imagine how many other people that you could be helping. And it's so funny because I've never, never really been somebody that... compliments, I kind of always just avoid the compliments because they just make me feel super awkward. But when it comes to, because of the profession that I'm in as well, I am in a caring profession. So when somebody says that to me, actually, you're going to be helping other people, that part of the caring side of me is like, yeah, actually, even though this is something that is completely out of my comfort zone, I would never have imagined doing if this reaches a little bit further than my social media page and it helps other people, then I'd be silly not to be doing it. But also, I think I said this to you earlier, when we have something that could help other people, whether that's like a story or a skill or a talent, and we don't share it because of fear of what other people will say or how it will be perceived. we are doing a disservice to the people we could be helping. So actually we don't make it about us, make it about other people. And I think from your bravery and also just what I see happening in Women Who Plunge, because Women Who Plunge has gone from a Sunday morning dip at the beach to becoming something much, much more powerful and greater than that. And actually, you you have to just come down sometime, whoever's listening to this, if you're traveling overseas, it's fine. Just come and see because we cannot put this community into words and how it's helping people go through. could list almost every single, imagine all the challenges you could come up in life from domestic violence to going through breakups to grief, people losing people to... you know, not having enough money, know, losing jobs. Like everything you can imagine is going on right now in that group. And I think it's like, I don't know if you know Jay Shetty, but he posts these videos of like people running the London marathon. And it's just like all these little people and above them have got like somebody's like, they like their partner's just taken their life or they've just survived cancer or they're running because they lost their dad last year or. they're getting married in two weeks time and like all these kind of life situations are kind of bouncing above their heads as they're running a London marathon. And I just think we have no idea what is going on in people's lives in this moment. And also you can be going along, everything's amazing and then bang, not amazing. But the one good thing as well that I find with our community that we've built is that it is such a safe space. nobody ever judges you. Nobody thinks, oh my goodness, like she looks a bit of a stateless morning. Like, she not brush her hair or like, you know, did she not put makeup on because we all ate a clock on a Sunday morning. We look like we just rolled out of bed. But it's fine. I remember, I think I might have said to you, I said to some of the girls, like, it's not only helped me with my mental health and wellbeing. It's, mean, like most of us women. We suffer with body confidence and I really have for most of my life. But actually, when you come down, the first day that I'd come down and I'd plunge with you guys, I was like, ⁓ my God. was like, I literally brought myself a new swimming costume. I was that paranoid about what I'd look like. So put my swimming costume on, put my dry robe on, headed down to Lee's Seafront. And actually when I got there, I was like, Why am I even worried about what I look like? Because nobody cares. Absolutely nobody cares. Like we're all talking to each other. We're not worrying about like what everybody looks like, whether you're like small or you're a little bit bigger or you've got muscles or your toenails are painted or your fingernails are painted. Nobody cares because you're just there for that one particular reason is just to get on with each other, connect with each other, and nobody cares what you look like. And actually now, I mean, obviously we all stand to take a picture, don't we? Which takes, you know, which takes a long time to get everybody together, but we're all stood there like freezing. But actually nobody, nobody is like conscious about like, ⁓ we're stood here for like another couple of minutes while the photo's being taken. Like, it doesn't matter. And all you see is smiles. Yeah. All you hear is laughter. Or you hear it, or sometimes we have tears. You have hugs. And I have never ever, and I'm about 1044, I have never ever been part of something that A, I feel so connected to. B, I feel like I can actually be myself. And I think that is another thing about relationships. What I have learned is that when you when you get into a healthy relationship, you can fully be yourself. Yeah. If you have to hide parts of yourself, it's not right. It's, it's really needs some attention, this like, and I don't know what it is. Is it the sea that makes, cause I feel like in my old life, like 10 years ago, I would have judged some of the women for some of their stories. Yeah. Yeah. Like, but I just, don't know if it's the water. but I just feel so vulnerable myself every week. Yeah. But I just feel like when someone's telling me something, I'm just like, ⁓ my goodness. Yeah. And I think for me, ⁓ joining the group, because I have said this to quite a few people, like I have lived a relatively sheltered life, not going to lie. Like I've been brought up in a really nice area. My parents are still together. They've been married like 48 years. Like, you know, I've had a really good childhood. Like me and my brother were raised really well. And some of the people that I have now connected with and actually have made friends with, I've never been kind of exposed to those experiences that they've had. So actually it's made me appreciate what I have in my life. And because there's lots of people that haven't had the best childhood or they haven't got a roof over their heads or they're struggling, it's taught me to be grateful for what you have. I had this, who should I say it to? I said it to the other day. was like, money and gold can buy you anything in the world, but actually. It can't buy you friendship. It can't buy you connection. And, you know, I'm, you know, I was living in a, you know, a two bedroom house with my ex-husband, you know, with a driveway and a garden. And now I'm in a one bedroom flat. But really I have something that is mine and I need to be grateful for it because there aren't, there isn't everybody out there that has what I have. And I think. this is when we come to the shoreline and we connect with everybody, you are just that individual person. It doesn't matter where your past is, where you've come from, we all come and we have one thing in common that actually we want to better ourselves. Yeah. And we want to get into the theatre and we want to push ourselves and we want to grow. it's honestly the friendships that I've made since being in this group. are some of the most meaningful friendships that I have made in the whole entire time that I've been on this earth. I say this to you all the time, don't I? I was like, please don't ever leave me because you, because you, like the first day that we were on the shoreline and you welcomed me, like, I just, I knew instantly that you were going to be somebody that just was going to help me change my life and make me a better person. And it's because of you that, you know, all of us women have come together and we've made these connections because you are the pinnacle of women who plunge. And we appreciate you. We love you. And you're just, you're just an incredible human being. And we are so lucky to have you as our leader. I'm not the leader. I'm just the, don't even, honestly, it's just, I feel so grateful for it because in the beginning, it definitely felt like something I was creating for other people because of the way it started. And I suppose because of what I do for my business and my mission is about helping people. So it was kind of very in line. was like, I'm going to help other people. I'm going to come on Sundays. I'm going to give up my Sunday mornings and I'm going to put this flag in the bloody stools every week and I'm going to help other people. But holy God, like I had no idea how it was going to help me, how it was going to transform me, how it was going to push me to levels that I didn't even know I had inside of me. the bravery that is being displayed on a daily, you know, from that group and people who message like and say, I'm too scared to come and then they come or like, you know, when we get like the other week when we had that lady in the water and she was like, I'm gonna faint, I'm gonna faint. ⁓ that's actually terrified. And her face when she just leant back in the water and she just smiled that for me, like you could not me to feel like the way I do about That's what it's about. Yeah, it is. And I really, hope, I mean, who knows where this is going to go in the future, but I really hope that whoever's listening to this can find their own equivalent of women or men who plunge near them. And if you are feeling lonely and disconnected and just overwhelmed or any not great feeling right now in your life. I would really encourage you to join a community or if you can't find one, start your own because people will come. And I think one of the special things about women who plunge and men who plunge is that we hug everyone. Yeah. And the amount of people who have been really surprised about that. I think when you embrace somebody like at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning on a beach when it's raining or cold or whatever, like it it makes you both vulnerable and you have a different connection. And we're not in a business meeting, we're not shaking hands, we are coming together and we are like, we are almost stripping ourselves bare. You know, not literally, obviously, but we are, we are making ourselves, we're leaving everything behind. What I love about it as well is there's no like, You know, sometimes if you go to like a networking event or you go to a business event or even sometimes if you're just in a social setting and someone's like, yeah, I'm the CEO of this company. you're like, go away. You're like, that's just ego talking. Yeah. Yeah. But that also used to be me. I was completely driven by job titles. I was driven by the persona of the career that I had and what that, because that was my identity. And I think when you start to live more authentic. Yeah, when you actually, I am, I'm actually a human being, I'm calm. This is, this is what I love to do. God, your whole experience of life changes. Yeah, absolutely. Like I just.
