The So You Think You Can Dance alum’s Instagram Reel comes a few days after she posted a TikTok video goofing around with her daughter Weslie, 15. "When your life is a mess but you just trying to vibe,” she captioned the post.
In the clip, the mother-daughter duo danced into the frame, each busting their own moves as the video progressed.
"Lol were [sic] funny," Weslie commented, to which her mom replied, "Hahahha 😂😂😂 love you."
The TikTok video was the first time Holker shared herself dancing on social media since her husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss’ death by suicide in December at age 40.
In her first interview since tWitch passed away, Holker told PEOPLE exclusively in May that “dancing with him was so special.”
She revealed, "I haven't danced yet. I've wiggled with my kids here and there ... but I haven't yet. I know that I will get there. I will."
"That will probably be, honestly, my last step into healing," she continued. "The healing will be going on forever. I know that's gonna be a big step for me, but I'll get there."

At the time, she also opened up to PEOPLE how she's staying close to her children as the family moves forward after the tragedy. Holker shares daughters Weslie and Zaia, 3, as well as son Maddox, 7, with the late DJ and TV host.
"My kids and I always had such a strong unit, but at this time there is just a different bond that we share. I always want to make sure that they see me really strong for them, but it's been amazing to see that my kids are also there for me now," Holker said.
"I'm so proud of them, and of how they're willing to feel and communicate with me. They're open to asking me questions, and we try to find our way together," she added. "Sometimes it breaks my heart that they have to feel that pressure to take care of me, but that's a true testament to Stephen, because that's what he would have done."
