This episode is the culmination of everything that has been coming together for me in the collision of writing my own story and reflecting on the stories of the people I have worked with. What are you doing or not doing in your life out of the response that you are going to do it differently then others (your parents, those people, that group etc.). What agreements and commitments have you made to be opposite then "them" and because of that have not found your true form, true voice, true role in the story of your life? What if we committed to lives that weren't lived out of a response to everything that has happened to us? Is that even possible? How can look rivet by rivet at the container of our lives to see what is there and serving us and what is there because it always been, or what is there because we promised ourselves when we were 8 that we would never be that way ... your life and legacy deserve inspection, deserve a thorough inventory. So you can say how it goes, so you can come into thorough autonomy and your rite to adulthood on your terms. Would love to know what you think about this ... Cheers, Elyse

In this episode of Trailercast I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Jill Doneen Clifton. Jill is the author of Landscape of Mothers, a book brought into my life by destiny and of course, Amazon. And because I loved it so, I reached out to Jill to see if she would come on and chat with us. I'm so glad she said yes. This conversation is rich and beautiful, and certainly not just for mothers (although moms, we see you.)  

In Jill's own words, "Landscape of Mothers is a map of the places in your inner world that can help you reclaim yourself inside your role of mother. The landscapes are the map locations: sun and moon, wind, desert, island, mountain, river, forest, and ocean. Each location has a gift that is important for mothering. For instance, Wind Mother has the gift of trust, Forest Mother’s gift is belonging, and River Mother’s gift is purpose. Just like when you take a vacation, Landscape of Mothers offers a directory of possibilities, but doesn’t determine your experience. There are “itineraries” to choose from, but the experience is your own to create." 

Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you find the same encouragement and inspiration in this conversation that I did. Jill, thank you. It was a gift to have you on.  

You can find Jill on her website or Instagram, and purchase Landscape of Mothers via Amazon.

 “I am who I say I am. Everything else is story.”



Welcome back to Trailercast! In this episode I reflect on two separate stories: a sweet bedtime moment with one of my kiddos and an epic risk taking turn of events. There are times in our lives that provide us with such clarity, it can be startling. Reflect with me on those life events, those moments where we collide with destiny and everything becomes clear. The moments where everything reconfigures. And then, the gift after collision. Identity and names. The truth of ourselves. 

No one has the right to tell you who you are. Who do YOU say you are? Who do you want to be? Who do you get to be? 

“I am who I say I am. Everything else is story.”

Welcome to this week's episode of Trailercast! Today I have a practice for you, so you might want to listen to this one in a space where you can pause and close your eyes. When I was a kid, my siblings and I would hunt throughout our house for loose change, and then run whatever we found through those coin sorters. You know the ones... the machines that put each coin in exactly the right spot. (Then of course, we would wrap the coins up and take them to buy candy. Because, kids.) But in this practice, we are the coin sorters, rattling-spinning-circulating information and truths and depositing them exactly where they need to land in our bodies. 
If you are new to these visualization practices, think of them as a way to engage in something outside of just our thinking. An action to partner with our thinking, so that we can access it easier and remember it more clearly. The body and the brain partnering together. 
Whatever it is that you are facing this week, my hope is that this practice can help you move forward in the possibility that you already are. Cheers!

Welcome to this week's episode! Today I reflect on the ocean, a place of deep symbolism for me. A place where I have always gone to seek solace. A place that has taught me so much over the years. 

Here I talk about depths and currents and waves and getting swept away, as well as deciding when it's time to stop struggling. Understanding that we don't always have to fight against the current. We can get out and start again. 

This episode is also about awareness. About the fact that what is happening on the surface isn't always the full story. There is always more happening underneath. It's about slipping below the surface and the stories that we tell ourself, and finding what lies below. 

Cheers!

New episode in real time about real things and I hope it is something that connects to your real life as you live it, without the frills and packaging, but just as it is. This episode is a waking up, a remembering and a fierce determination to stop making myself the victim. Long story short, my husband was called out to a wild fire in Northern California and everything I was trying to hold together fell apart, even my dryer. So, here I am, spilling my guts back into wholeness, seeing my patterns and finding a new way forward. What does this episode communicate to you? What did you hear? What did you need to hear? And what are you going to do now? Cheers,

Elyse

Unfiltered processing of my life this last week - coming home from ATX, a sick kiddo that lead to RSV pneumonia and a 5 day stay in the hospital, my own medical trauma getting kicked up, motherhood and advocacy and raising Eden, then going home and longing for the release, regulation and repair and it just wouldn't come ... then finally the leaking, the tears, the letting go, the homecoming both within and without. Thank you always for listening and letting me do my thing, swear words and raw disclosures and all. I am continually reclaiming my right to my self, my right to my voice, my right to my unedited life. This podcast is a sacred piece of my process and our shared process as humans. May you hear what you need to, take what serves you and leave the rest. Cheers, Elyse

Hi there! Welcome! Today's Trailercast is a solo episode where I'm putting on my licensed marriage and family therapist hat. I love this work, getting to witness others in their growth and healing. Getting to witness people seeing themselves clearly, sometimes for the first time. In this episode, I reflect on some questions and themes that have been coming up within my therapy practice lately. As you listen, my hope is that you use these questions and thoughts as tools for you yourself. Run them through your own story. Ask yourself, how did I get here? And what is true for me now?

I am so grateful for the opportunity to connect with you through this podcast. It has gone from a creative outlet, to a place of true and intimate connection. It has been more than I have ever imagined. If you have questions around your own therapy or coaching work, please don’t hesitate to reach out. And if you are ready to get started in your own healing journey, the best thing I could ever recommend is Radical Wellness Collaborative. We would love to walk alongside you. Cheers.
