This past weekend, I celebrated Easter with my family and friends. Holidays are meant to be celebrated, and during those times of celebration, it is the perfect time to fill our bellies with food and drink. I, myself, did just that. However, at one point early on in the weekend, I switched my relationship to the food I was consuming from a place of love and appreciation to a place a FEAR and LOATHING.

From this space, I went to a dark, painful place that lives inside of me and started the self-abuse talk. My thoughts and emotions became toxic. As a result, I continued to eat and fell into the old program of eating to nourish a void (or pain) inside of me, as opposed to nourishing my body.

This experience does have a light at the end of the tunnel. With the practice of awareness, I was able to have a moment of awakening and become the observer of these thoughts and the observer of the emotions.

In this podcast, I recount this emotional roller coaster, and explain exactly what I did to shift from a negative, toxic space to a positive and appreciative one. This podcast has lessons for everyone, but will be especially helpful to anyone out there that is ready to acknowledge that there is pain inside of you. That you do in fact carry suppressed hurt inside. And with that awareness, we can heal.

Today I have a favourite guest Stephanie Kay back on the show, speaking about one of my favourite topics—FOOD!.

Why is it my favourite topic? Well because for years I’ve spent a good portion of time thinking about food! I was preoccupied with what I was going to eat, when I was going to eat it or arguing about my diet. I would have daily mental battles with myself trying to figure out what was working and what was not. I followed all the trending fads to lose weight, and feel great. Diet has always been a sensitive subject for me and food controlled me for years.

It wasn’t until I met Steph that my thoughts on food shifted. Stephanie Kay’s approach to eating real food and nourishing our bodies in a healthy and sustainable manner just makes sense in all the right ways. That’s why I love talking about it.

The episode is a little bit longer, but trust me, there is a TON of value in our discussion because today we are BREAKING food myths, discovering the truth about intermittent fasting and highlighting COMMON vs. NORMAL food practices.

This is important information that everyone should hear. It’s real, it’s raw and best of all, you can start incorporating some of these practices into your life RIGHT NOW!!

I began this podcast 18 months ago to share with you some of my deeper life lessons and how I have learned to navigate and learn from them. I share my vulnerability to make deeper connections and show that we are all the same. No one is alone in their suffering. We all experience emotion in the same way. But can we all create space and detach ourselves from the emotional pain that we create within?

At the beginning of 2019 I offered a FREE Challenge which was called “The 5-Day Awareness Challenge” to help give people some guidance and tools to bring the practice of awareness into their own lives. Awareness is the foundation we need to change the story of our ego. It is through the practice of awareness or mindfulness that we can put some space between the thoughts in our brain and who we truly are. From this space, we can change the thought and create a new program within.

This podcast talks all about the challenge and how you can NOW sign up ANYTIME! I am so excited to open up the challenge for anyone to take whenever they are ready. Remember, it’s FREE. All it takes is for you to go to www.elisaunfiltered.com/freechallenge to sign up and get started!

Today I have brought my favourite guest Adele Stratton back to the show.  Adele has been one of my biggest teachers in life. She is an intergrational manual therapist, a mentor and most importantly, my spiritual coach. The work she has guided me through has truly been transformational in my own life and I just want to keep sharing the message with you.

In this podcast we talk about the language and story of our ego and how it holds us back, makes us feel stuck, unwell, and prevents us from believing there is another way.

This episode will appeal to everyone. There is space for those who are just starting to bring awareness into their lives, as well as some deeper spiritual guidance, tips and tricks as well as a challenge for those who are ready to take this practice a little further.

You can book an appointment with Adele HERE or find on Instagram @phoenixrisinghc HERE or Facebook Phoenix Rising Healing Centre HERE.

March is the most difficult time in which to find motivation to focus and commit effort to our health and wellness. It is the month where 90% of all New Year Resolutions have been flushed down the toilet!  We are tired and feeling a heaviness inside from the long winter and we are LOOKING for something to help us get back on track.

Want to know how I have stayed on track with my fitness and health this year? What MOTIVATES me may not be what you think… I have figured out a way to change my state of mind and take the emotional roller coaster out of prioritizing my health. Motivation is always ROOTED somewhere within us, and these roots will impact how far and how long we are able to sustain our level of commitment to ourselves. This episode is packed with life lessons to help you RESET your mindset and sheds light on a NEW way, a NEW perspective on motivation.

I have opened to conversation up to you!! This week I am answering the questions you have posed about life—how to stay motivated, how to overcome challenges and everything in between. This podcast is full of little life lessons that you can chose to believe, roll with and grow, contemplate OR simply listen too and enjoy. There is truly something for everyone as I dive into your curiosities and humour!!

It’s not everyday you meet a YouTube star in person, who blows you away with his authenticity and vulnerability and who is so relatable that you immediately love him and want to follow him. That was my experience with today’s guest, Joey Kidney.

At 22, this young man has the insight and vision of an old and wise soul. Joey is not your average YouTuber… He copes with anxiety, depression and other challenges before an audience of over 725,000 viewers. He promotes the message that we are all fundamentally the same and we all have great potential to be comfortable with ourselves and to be HAPPY.

Several of his YouTube videos have gone viral and have hit over 5 million views. He strives to stay focused on living his life happy and being a chill, down to earth young man.

Since meeting Joey in 2016, I have learned a lot from him. So how does he do it all? Have a listen to find out more about this incredible person!

I just returned from a most excellent adventure in Australia. I was vacationing there for 2 weeks and it was nothing short of chaotic, relaxing, inspirational and of course, EPIC! When I returned home I was on one of the biggest highs of my life. Everything was in line. My heart was full. I was motivated and inspired in life. And now, one week later, I am coming down from that high and sinking fast. This feeling is foreign to me, and is teaching me a lot about the pendulum of life and how to go with the flow. This episode is unique as I don’t have everything figured out. I am speaking from a place of confusion.

I wanted to get this message out while I am vulnerable because there is truth in our low points that we don’t always share once we are on the other side. I also believe that this feeling is relatable and happens to many of us after an incredible experience.

So I am thanking you ALL in advance for holding space for me. This is the story of my vacation low.

So we all know that the ego has a bad reputation. If you have a BIG ego, you are automatically considered to be self absorbed or you’re too sensitive… or many other negative labels. Well, guess what? The Ego lives in us all and this episode is jammed packed with EGO talk. What is it? How does the EGO effect our day to day lives and how can we learn to disregard the drama in our minds.

I also share personal experiences when my ego has thwarted my ability to cope with adversity, change, and situations that are out of my control. I have an ego. it is my life goal to become free of its grip and live in the NOW. This is where I am in my journey there…
