Ep # 20. Engaging with Life as a Portal for Transformation {Podcast}
I've been reflecting on how everything EllieFlow, all of my work and offerings, is born from the viewpoint that simply by engaging with life, and with all that it is bringing to the surface for us (emotions, thoughts, resistance, energies of fear, scarcity, grief, joy, gratitude, and more...), we engage in the process of organic transformation.
What I teach and guide here, in client sessions, and my programs, and in the upcoming membership is all about connecting with what is here right now, in trust that it will open the next door on your path as you deepen into presence with it.
Your beingness is more than enough.
If you are grieving your relationship to your mother or child, the loss of a mother, child, or pregnancy, not being a mother, anticipating the loss of your mother, being in a different season of life than the mommas in your life, or feeling any other of the many other ‘grey areas of grief’ and pain that can arise today, I see you and am with you. May you you have space to move with all that is present today.
If you are craving some guided tending on your own time today, this morning's Grief Flow Ceremony was intimate and rich, and the replay is now available.
Come one, come all.
This Grief Flow was created as a landing place for however you wake up feeling Sunday - a place to move with any/all of the shades of ‘grief in the grey’ that I wrote about yesterday, a place for any pain or tension that needs a loving place to unravel so that you can tap into greater flow with yourself and Life as the day progresses.
In my experience, grief asks for presence, and one of the gifts of engaging with our grief is the open-hearted, enlivened presence and beingness we access a little more each time we open the grief-tending door and walk through.
Honoring Grief in the grey
Earlier this week, I did an instagram live (which I also edited and shared on the podcast yesterday – you can listen here) where I talked about the many shades of Mother's Day grief, and how so often, unless you are clearly mourning the loss of your mother or child, the complexity of your experience can feel like it doesn't quite fit.
As someone that is going on four Mother's Days without my mom, and am not yet a mom myself, it's fascinating to see this holiday through the ‘motherless’ now.
EP #19. Honoring the Grief in the Grey: Mother's Day Grief & How Grief Flows Were Born {Podcast}
Join me this Sunday for a special Mother's Day Grief Flow Ceremony. I created Grief Flows to be an intimate and sacred personal and community space to turn toward your grief with spaciousness and multi-dimensional support as you process and connect to the vibrancy of life, within and without.
This {Virtual} Grief Flow is for anyone experiencing grief or pain around their relationship to their mother or child, mother loss, being or becoming a mother, motherhood in general, or for anyone simply desiring a space to move with grief right now!
Mother’s Day grief Flow Ceremony
Every time I lead a Grief Flow, I am in awe of how powerful carving out specific time to allow yourself to move with grief, and for grief to move with you, is. It seems so simple, yet not something that feels easy or natural for most.
Emotions and energy connected to grief can build up..
Ep #18. Release Resistance to Embrace Embodied Acceptance {Podcast}
This episode is POWERFUL! Consider it your masterclass on resistance, and how to shift into current, present energy so you can engage with your life and flow. I discuss what resistance is, where it comes from and what the energy of it is. I also discusses the importance of acknowledging anger when working through resistance, rather than bypassing it, to achieve liberation and deeper self-connection. I guide you through a process of softening towards resistance…
{Bonus Podcast} Meditation for Cultivating Presence
A free meditation for cultivating presence in your daily life, and coming present and current with all that’s moving within you.
Ep #17. The Energetics of Emergence and Inner Spring (+ a Meditation to Connect with Your Inner Season) {Podcast}
Spring is here on the outside, but how are you feeling on the inside? Does your inner season line up with the outer season? Spring time is a dance of energies that move us forward, but that does happen without the surfacing of the fear, limiting beliefs, and limitations to be worked with and alchemized. In this episode, I explore the dueling, and non-linear energies of Emergence (the 3rd phase in the 5 Spheres of Transformation), offer wisdom, awareness and perspective shifts to support you in this season…
Ep #16. Cultivating Fluidity with Grief {Podcast}
The idea of being fluid with grief has been on my mind and heart for the last week. Join me in an exploration of:
What fluidity with grief is; how to meet grief and allow grief to meet us with less rigidity; the softness that fluidity invites us into and where that might be leading you; the freedom available to us through this cultivation; allowing grief to look and be different in our lives in different moments and seasons.
Ep #15. {Awaken Your Flow Day 1} Experiencing Your Body as Your Container for Flow {Podcast}

EP #14. Creating a Conscious Relationship with SELF {Podcast}
On this episode, Ellie shares the internal reorganization process she has been through in the last 7 weeks, and how these shifts have called her to focus on the foundational of belief systems that allow for flow and transformation. Ellie speaks to the intersection of our humanity and our divinity, the beauty and energy alive in you, and the power of coming into conscious relationship with all parts of yourself and greater being…
Releasing striving to embody flow
From Oct-Dec ‘23 I moved through the exposure, pruning and pulling, and then full release of yet another level and hold (!!!!! - what felt like the deepest possible) that the invasive root of striving had on my life and energy.
On a very human (survival) level: striving to achieve, to arrive, for the sake of feeling fully loved, feeling good enough, feeling secure and free of the pressure I placed on myself and had created as a defense mechanism.
On a spiritual, divine soul level: striving to BE, to take up my full space in the physical, to experience what I can FEEL is alive in my many dimensions and part of why I am here on Earth.
The Frequency of Transformation (An exploration of Shifts, Openings, Awareness & Clarity)
You see, finding the words to convey the subtle yet profound impact of transformational experiences (anything and everything ranging from teachings and guidance, mentorship, dance parties, conversations, travels, massages…all of it)is an art I will be studying for the rest of my life.
As someone that has been the client or coach in hundreds of hours of transformative sessions (and other experiences thus far), I can tell you that the most impactful experiences feel impossible to capture through words.
Instead, the shifts/openings/awareness/clarity that is accessed vibrates in the body and energy field…
The ‘Make Space for The New’ Workshop is available now!
This workshop is POWERFUL!! It is a 65-minute, full-on, soul-connecting guided meditation, journaling, and intuitive movement (or creative expression) experience that I curated it to support you as you shift from one life season to the next.
As you immerse yourself in the music and connective guidance, you'll tap into gentle yet deep release that will allow you to access an incredible sense of inner refreshment, connection, energy, and clarity as you look toward the future…
Let’s Go Wisdom Foraging
I have a potent exercise for you to try today:
Pause for a moment, standing right where you are today, and imagine you are standing in the middle of the forrest of your life.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling the fresh air circulate in your lungs and body.
When you’re ready, open your eyes again. What do you see all around you?
First look down at your feet, see them connected with the Earth. Then allow your vision to expand outward…
Creating Supported Spaciousness
As we ease into 2024, there is so much to move with. While the cultural narrative is closer to a head first dive into the new year, I see January as a transition, offering space to fully process where we have been and what has brought us to this moment, here, now. In this processing, completion and release are invited organically, and space to explore the new becomes available.
It's easy to want to want to skip this step, but there is a deeply rich and recalibrating exploration available to us at this time – an exploration that allows us to meet and receive the wisdom cultivated through challenging and blissful moments, while still staying open to new possibilities.
Ep #13. How to Sit with Sadness & Deep Emotions (Teaching + Guided Practice) {Podcast}
In this episode I offer supportive teachings, reflections, and guided practice to support you in sitting with what is present and alive deep within in order to promote processing and restoration.
This will also allow the experience to ground you into listening and moving from your greater being instead of purely from intellect (the mind). At the beginning I explore the questions: "What does it actually mean to sit with your sadness or pain?!" and then offer guidance (almost like a meditation), using the episode as a container to support you, to help you…
EP #12. Tap into the Wellspring of Vitality and Create Momentum with Fluid Structure (+ Personal Reflections from the Void){Podcast}
In this episode I share about the process of the last few months and reflections from a recent void space I dipped into.
I also share:
Insights and wisdom for moving through this time of year, and opening to the transition that is upon us;
Deepening into the call to connect with the soft hum of vitality that is available to us all amidst times of inner or outer winter;
Tools for creating 'fluid structure' in seasons of transitions, so that we may be carried forward with gentle momentum instead of becoming weighed down by dullness or heaviness…
EP #11. Attuning to Your Inner Fountain: A Journey from Drained to Recharged {Podcast}
Feeling drained and disconnected?
Join me in this episode as we explore the process of reconnecting to our greater beings amidst overwhelm and living within the current energetic atmosphere.
I speak to the disconnection from Self that I'm sensing all around us as we navigate life right now, what this disconnection looks like and feels like in my life, how we avoid what we most need when we are drained, and how the highlighted uncertainty is bring up deep fears and calling us into more conscious connection.
