Miriam Hollingshead, MPS

Miriam Hollingshead earned a BA in Applied Behavioral Science from National Louis University and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University Chicago.

As a young mother, she organized women’s groups to help women build trust and confidence as they shared their burdens with one another. Together, they uncovered truth and strength within and discovered their unique souls and revealed their gifts and talents.

The desire to support and inspire women deepened while studying at Loyola University and motivated Miriam to develop programs to benefit women’s growth and wholeness. Facilitating groups, leading workshops and providing one-on-one sessions has enabled Miriam to capture her passion.

Miriam now resides in Tucson, AZ and spends her free time writing, hiking, volunteering, traveling, and enjoying the Tucson music and art scenes.

Miriam’s Soul Statement:

“When your heart and mind are willing to open, allowing the goodness and wonder held within to burst forth, you will be free to become all you were created to be.”

Miriam’s Journey

“You are only as sick as your secrets,” said my daughter as she talked with me about what she’d learned in her support group.  We discussed the family secrets that kept us prisoner in so many ways, revealing those hidden from ourselves and each other. As we shared our fears and hurts, the burden lifted, and I started to experience a new sense of joy and freedom.

As I ventured forth, I felt empowered, yet at times uncomfortable, as I recognized the hold my secrets and lies had in my present life. Determined, I started to seek and find my true self to begin a radical new course, a wide-open road of new possibilities.

A journey to reflect, journal and record my discoveries ensued, deeply buried emotions that spoke to me were uncovered.  My soul travels planted a small, almost imperceptible seed that eventually bloomed into  a website to support other women seeking to find their true selves.
