It’s a Gift: How God Birthed Threads That Heal in a Nap

Episode 1 — Threads That Heal: The Origin Story

Threads That Heal is where stories of faith, resilience, and restoration are woven into everyday life. In this first episode, Holli shares the wild origin story — from a nap-vision to a prophetic brand — and invites you to pick up the gifts God has for you.

On December 18th, 2023, in the middle of one of my busiest workdays, I crashed on the couch for a quick nap. What happened next changed everything. In that half-asleep haze, I saw the words Threads That Heal hanging in front of my face. Startled, I woke up, bought the domain, and even created designs in Canva — all in what felt like a dream.

That moment planted a seed I almost let die. Between busyness, fear, and people-pleasing, I shelved what God had given me. I even listened to voices that said Christian merch was “cheesy” and “lame.” But God wouldn’t let me go. He kept reminding me: “This isn’t just an idea. It’s a gift. And I only give good gifts.”

In this first episode, I share the story of how Threads That Heal began, the roadblocks I wrestled with, and the prophetic picture of why this brand is more than just merch. You’ll also hear the activation questions that helped me step into obedience — and can help you pick up the gifts God is placing in your life too.
