Allison Holker is opening up about her family's outlook as they move forward following her husband's death.
When guest Caitlin Crosby said on the Sunday, June 8, episode of the 'Between Us' podcast that she has 'hope' she will have a 'redemption story' in her own life, Holker, 37, noted that the sentiment resonated with her.
'It's an acceptance of what is and allowing to move to the future of whatever becomes of whatever that is for you in the future. But I think that's beautiful,' Holker said on her and daughter Weslie's podcast. 'I think that's what we've been on a journey for is an acceptance of something that happened and it's not about what happened to us. We really are trying to show people that that doesn't define us fully. It's a part of our story, for sure, and it has a huge impact in beautiful ways and will always be a part of our story. But it doesn't define us fully, right?'
She continued, 'There's so much more to us. There's so many more layers for us to be seen, for us to learn and for us to explore. I think it's an acceptance of what happens, an acceptance of what our journey has been thus far, but then it's really about the path that you are now creating and moving forward through and how you get yourself through it.'

Holker noted that she's 'all open' to 'receive' now.
'We've been on this journey. We've accepted what is. We've had all the experiences,' she said. 'We are still on this healing journey, I'm sure you're still on your healing journey, right, and figuring life out. But now it's just a time to receive and be open.'
The comments made by Holker, who did not mention Stephen 'tWitch' Boss while sharing her perspective on Sunday, come over two years after her late husband died in 2022. The couple, who were married for nine years, welcomed son Maddox and daughter Zaia in 2016 and 2019, respectively. (Holker is also mom to 17-year-old daughter Weslie, whom she welcomed in a previous relationship.)
Following Boss' death, Holker detailed her late husband's alleged personal information — including an alleged substance abuse issue and alleged childhood sexual abuse — in her memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss and Embracing the Light. In the wake of Holker's claims, Boss' family and mom Connie Boss Alexander claimed they would be seeking 'legal counsel' over the 'unproven statements' in the memoir.

'As a family we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen's passing,' Alexander's February statement read, in part. 'Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape his story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective.'
After Boss' family spoke out in January, Holker released a statement, which read, 'I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen. In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it's too late.'
