Heather Holt Podcast Host | Storytelling on Healing, Resilience & Life After Change

Inspiring stories told weekly to help change your perspective — and maybe even leave you smiling.

Welcome to Change Happened, Then What?

Discover the power of storytelling through real, raw, and unforgettable journeys.
On Change Happened, Then What?, I sit down with extraordinary guests who open their hearts to share powerful experiences of loss, trauma, abuse, grief, mental illness, suicide, and more. These aren’t just stories of struggle—they are stories of survival, healing, and the deep human resilience that leads to transformation. Each episode is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s still a path forward—and yes, there’s still a way back to your smile.

Bethany Yukuis Borden is the thoughtful, steady voice behind Small Town Whispers, a podcast that explores folklore, forgotten history, and the quiet stories that linger in rural places. In this episode, Bethany brings listeners a reflective reading from the book Wakseka, setting the tone for connection, memory, and myth.

This episode also features her Porch Light Whispers segment, where Bethany turns her attention to Emily’s Bridge in Vermont—sharing the legend, atmosphere, and emotional resonance of a place where local lore continues to glow long after dark.

“I admit, I have been nervous but excited to see how Heather would tell my story. She’s such a gifted storyteller (& if you feel like it’s a hard transition between my speed and her careful nature~ that’s a perfect understanding of my point~ of what she wanted to create.).Her insight and research really made this brief catch up-so impactful”
