 Another lovely connection and therefore conversation with my friend Maggie :) May you find your way towards yourself, may it be kind and free.

This episode explores questions about what ritual is, what happens at retreats and how to make the unseen tangible. It’s another way in. A different way to hold our questions and shift into action. ✨

Happy Spring ... this season is a pondering on what season you are in and how do you know when it is time to transition to a new one? What habits from Winter can carry over to Spring? And how can we practice being aware of where we are and where we are going? Enjoy!

What does being dissatisfied feel like to you? Is it ok? Not ok? Good? Bad? Wrong? Ungrateful? What if we approached our dissatisfaction with permission to shake things up for us, to let things evolve and become what they need to be now? What if our dissatisfaction allows us to grow up? Grow up our relationships, our spirituality, our career? We can be both immensely grateful and deeply dissatisfied. What do you think?

Hi! Checking in with a mindful episode about taking up residence within ourselves, living into our "I am" experience of self and my recent trip to Hawaii. I hope it finds you right where you are, that you can take a moment of pause and exhale to truly be with you. 

Cheers,

Join me for a special series of conversations with the women from Radical Wellness. This episode is with incredible Aurora Allen, our Somatic Experience & Embodiment Coach.

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

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

Hi there! Some personal reflections post Weekends. Healing is remembering. Change is inertia. Enjoy!

www.elysesnipes.com 

Hey there, today's episode is practical and experiential. We explore all the ways change occurs and doesn't occur, why we don't do the things we know are good for us, and all the ways our life is inviting us to make radical contact. Give it a listen, consider what appeals to you and all the imaginative ways you can create change in your life. Enjoy!

I had some time today and I kept thinking about you, yes you, the people who listen to this podcast. So, I sat myself down and recorded a little something for you about healing and what is next and how do you know when you are done. Also, some fun updates about Radical Wellness Collaborative and Weekend Retreats. Happy Friday Friends!

In this Trailercast conversation you get to listen in as I talk with Kelli. When we were first supposed to record, technology did its thing and we ended up having to reschedule. But, I am so excited for you to hear what happened in the in-between from when we were supposed to record, and when we actually did. About the growth that Kelli experienced. 

How does looking in the shower and seeing soap lead to a transformation? Kelli shares the most relatable story and so much more. Quarantine, worthiness, the mother/daughter relationship, parenting and a true mirror… we hit on it all. There is so much beautiful and truth in this conversation. My hope is that you can find yourself in her story and claim the truth that Kelli has shared with us here. You ARE worthy. 

Cheers.

As I have been writing my book, feels so weird to even say that, I have noticed there are some major gaps in what I needed to hear growing up. Good news, I am the one writing the story this time, the one holding the pen. So I can say those things, so can you. This episode weaves through some of the ideas behind therapy and how it functions, early messaging and how to shift roles in your story. I also share with you some statements or declarations of things I have been holding on to as I write that might be something you try on for yourself. I hope you feel and know in your bones that everything belongs, every story deserves sunshine, you are the one holding the pen. 

If you are interested in doing your own narrative work with me, I have a few spots left for the private retreats I host, all information can be found on my website: www.elysesnipes.com/weekends 

Cheers!

Welcome to another Trailercast conversation! This is a special episode, and I am so excited to share it with you.

In this episode, I’m talking with Sophie.  Right off the bat I can tell you this; Sophie is a powerhouse. She wrote into the show wanting to process through, in her own words, “navigating shame, resilience and uncertainty in a time of great personal growth and transformation, especially as a young person in today’s society.” Throughout our conversation we tackle imposter syndrome, self-doubt and how to identify the inner critic. We talk about trusting our gut and our knowing, and the importance of sharing our stories. Listen in and hear how Sophie has learned to sit in the driver’s seat of her own life, and hear a young woman living into her own freedom and autonomy.

My hope is that you leave this conversation knowing that we need you and your story too. Your life is essential and your story is essential. We have so much to learn from one another.

Cheers.

When I started Trailercast, I wasn’t really sure what it was going to become. It was a creative outlet for me, and I knew that I loved it, but what I have really been so blown away by is how it has become a pretty amazing piece of connection to others. I love when listeners reach out, share their stories and let me know what parts of my story connect to parts of theirs. And I LOVE the opportunity to sit down with listeners in these Trailercast conversations.

In this episode, you get to meet April. I absolutely loved this conversation, and cannot wait to hear what you think. To hear what pieces of April’s beautiful story connect to yours. We talk about the big C (cancer,) motherhood, and repairing things along the way.

When you think that you are the only one, this podcast exists to remind you that you are not alone.

Cheers!

In this episode of Trailercast we continue our conversations series with a very special mama who lives on the other side of the world.  I had the privilege of sitting down and talking with Rachel, all the way in New Zealand, about what happens when you get the kind of news that you never hope to get. What happens when the thing that you never thought could happen, happens.

Right before the pandemic hit Rachel’s five year old son was diagnosed with leukemia. This is such an important conversation for anyone and everyone. My hope is that listening to Rachel share about her experience will ignite the empath in all of us, and teach us better how to sit with hard things well.

Rachel, thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability, and for teaching us a better way to support the ones we love when the hard news hits close to home.

 One of the things that I have been practicing in 2021 is showing up in a pretty real and raw form. And I sense that we are all craving that authenticity these days. In this episode, join me as I process through something that happened last week, the memories and emotions that it triggered, and the beautiful truth that emerged as I worked through it.

Here we are going to be talking about what we are holding. We are going to be talking about death and grieving. And we are going to be talking about what is preventing us from actually receiving the thing that we need. The thing that is good and true and ours.

Join me in asking the question, “What is it that you are holding onto, and what might you be missing receiving because of that?”  What beauty might occur if we could let go?

Cheers.

Welcome to this very special episode of Trailercast! 

Today we are going to take some time to say a “goodbye” to 2020 and reflect on all that this unprecedented year has been for us, both collectively and individually. We look at rules vs. rituals, and the importance of how rest fits into the whole picture as we head into a new year. We ask, how can we move out of 2020 and into 2021 in a way that feels the most honest and kind and true to ourselves? How do we maintain and hold onto who we are in this next season? What was 2020 like for you? 

Join me in an exercise as we scan through the months and ask ourselves the good/hard questions. What do you need to leave in 2020? And what do you need for 2021? This special new years episode isn’t about hustling harder or setting strict rules for ourselves, but rather, about moving through our lives in the most beautiful, loving and free way we that can. We get to choose. 

Thank you, dear listeners, for tuning in this and going on this journey with me this year. I’m forever thankful for you. Cheers!

This episode of Trailercast is a special one, because not only do I sit down and talk with the first male guest we’ve had in this new series of conversations, but also a dear friend of mine. In this episode you get to meet my friend, Stu. Stu and I have built a foundation of trust and honesty over the years, and that helps organically lead this conversation into more raw and vulnerable spaces as we talk about what this season of COVID has been like for him.

Listen in as we talk about how quarantine has affected his drive, his ideas around success, and what it looks like to give yourself grace, possibly for the first time in your life. Listen to a human being, being himself and in doing so, granting us permission to be ourselves too. Discover through this conversation that we can sit in discomfort, and still be okay. Witness honest, heart-to-heart work happening in real time.

Rainer Maria Rilke said “Love the questions in themselves,” and we dig into that idea in this conversation. The truth is, we as humans live in a space that is not always buttoned up or put together. But that is where the good stuff is. Those times where we resist or want to shut the door, but we stay and allow ourselves to be witnessed a little longer, those are the moments where love is let in. Enjoy this conversation between me and my friend, and reflect on where you find yourself in his story.

This episode is for anyone out there who might be feeling “stuck.” Ashley is a wife of ten years, a mom of two young boys and an accomplished teacher,  who wrote into the show   saying, “I have been feeling like there is so much more for my life and am struggling to get unstuck and be able to see what is next for me… I’d love to have a convo with you about how to finally get unstuck and see who I am made to be!” Can anyone relate? I know I can!

Ashely and I have an amazing conversation, and I’m so glad you get to listen in. We talk about purpose, passion, meaning and career. We throw the metaphorical spaghetti on the wall to see what might stick, and move from a scarcity mindset to a growth mindset as I help Ashley uncover the dreams that have been there all along. I hope this conversation gives you the permission to be free and think big, and then take action knowing you are so worth the life you want to live.

In this episode of Trailercast, I reflect on three different ideas, separate but related. First off, Entity vs Action. What happens when we pair action words to our identity? What happens when we build a lifestyle around our roles, and call that who we are? We often forget that we don’t have to earn our roles; that we already are. What would happen if we were able to find the distinction between “doing the thing” and “you already are the thing.” If we were to return to who we are, verses what we do.

And in that same vein, I explore the importance of remembering who we are. How do we learn to see ourselves in truth, and live in that clarity?

Lastly, we discuss the idea of living from the good. What would your life be like if you were to live from the best possible storyline? If you were to operate from a place of I AM GOOD? How would that change our relationships, both with ourselves and others? Experiment with giving yourself the benefit of the doubt that you made it. You are good.

An Easter conversation for everyone. I sit down with my friend Katie Quesada, Story Coach and in a previous life a Pastor. We talk about the difference between macro and micro stories and how we can all find ourselves in the macro story of Easter. We also feel our way through old stories and old systems and consider new ways to honor Hope, Transformation and the belief in the Impossible. Happy Easter!

Today's episode is extremely personal and extremely vital. I interview my friend who is dying. Given what we are facing as a global community we had considered for a fraction of a moment waiting on this episode ... but we both share a bit of the f*ck it's and decided if not now, when? Isn't this actually the best time? As people are actually awake and facing this reality with eyes open. The truth is, we are all facing death everyday. The other truth is that we don't talk about this stuff - death, dying, cancer ... unless we are personally affected by it and even then we fumble. I originally thought that maybe this episode would be a part of the taboo series I am doing, but I can't decide if death is the most taboo or the least taboo thing ever. It is our future, it is our shared reality, it is life when you really think about it. May this episode open you up, may it invite you into places and thoughts and feelings and memories you need to have. May it also be a catalyst, a comfort and an honest place for reflection. 

"Evelyn", thank you. There aren't words that will cross the span of what I want to communicate to you for sharing yourself with me and all of us. I will take your words inside of me and weave them into my own story and live the sh*t out of it. Promise. 

This episode is a fun one ... an update on my new role within Radical Wellness Collaborative and some conventional wisdom from my friend and security guard, Joe. Today’s podcast delves into the way decisions are made, especially between different generations. Buckle your seat belts folks, you don’t want to miss the advice this episode has to offer.
