Tamara Holder is a civil rights attorney and former media commentator who survived a high-profile sexual assault during her time at Fox News, where she worked as a contributor and legal analyst. Her path through trauma, public scrutiny, and personal reinvention led her to the <a href="https://dividedsky.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Divided Sky Foundation</a>—a recovery nonprofit founded by Phish frontman Trey Anastasio—where she now helps create spaces for people in recovery to reclaim dignity, community, and purpose. <br /><br />Drawing from both her legal background and lived experience, Tamara advocates for women, survivors, and those in recovery. She played a pivotal role in launching the Divided Sky Foundation’s Women’s Scholarship Fund, which now has over $300,000 committed to supporting women’s access to compassionate, gender-responsive care.<br /><br />Divided Sky Foundation &amp; Women’s Scholarship Fund<ul><li>Accessible, barrier-free treatment: DSF removes financial obstacles and avoids red tape, offering flexible, mission-driven care for anyone seeking recovery.<br /><br /></li><li>Trusted statewide partner: Agencies and hospitals across Vermont refer to DSF knowing no one is turned away for financial reasons.<br /><br /></li><li>Comprehensive residential support: DSF provides a deeply supportive environment that helps people through every stage of recovery.<br /><br /></li><li>Women’s Scholarship Fund leadership: Created and championed by Tamara Holder, who personally sponsored the first recipient in 2023.<br /><br /></li><li>Growing impact: Launched in 2025, the fund now exceeds $300,000 and aims for $500,000 by year’s end — helping fill DSF’s women’s floor to capacity.<br /><br /></li><li>Equity in recovery: The fund helps women overcome financial, familial, and emotional barriers, reinforcing the message that women deserve a safe space to heal and recover.</li></ul><br />In This Episode<ul><li><a href="https://tamaraholderlaw.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAac84aJ9etnLjT8FilNnyFTO0FHJ6w5F6-dA9D4RN9kQuYLX7yMTLENM2O524A_aem_ibm2kwxXrrqJRq9NM7H1cw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tamara’s website</a></li><li><a href="https://dividedsky.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Divided Sky Foundation</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tamara_holder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tamara on IG</a></li></ul><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>You can learn more about what I do here:</b><br /><br />The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.
