She Wins

I have had the pleasure of knowing Holly since she was 15 and preparing for Miss Mississippi's Outstanding Teen. It has been a joy watching her grow up and accomplish all of her goals. She is currently living in Nashville pursing music fulltime. In this interview we catch up on what she has been up to, talk about her experience on The Voice, and so much more!

It was so great catching up with Kristen Dalton Wolfe! I had the honor of meeting her in 2008 at the Eagle U Mental Toughness for Pageantry Program where my father, Lanny Bassham, and I taught the attendees Mental Management and applied it to pageantry. She has done so much since she won Miss USA and is such a joy!
