The Fairy Elephant Effect

Elysabeth Wolter

Welcome to The Fairy Elephant Effect Podcast, a space where we’ll explore the powerful, often hidden influences that shape our lives. Each week, we’ll dive into themes from my book, The Fairy Elephant Effect, as well as other topics that help us unpack how our experiences and beliefs shape the lives we live. Together, we’ll examine how words and actions—both our own and those of others—can leave lasting imprints, holding us back from living authentically and fully. Once a month, we’ll feature an inspiring interview with someone who has navigated their own journey of transformation and healing.  My mission is to support you in creating a life you truly love, where you not only love yourself but also truly like and accept every part of who you are. Welcome to The Fairy Elephant Effect—where everything starts and ends with you.

    Podcast 45: Facing My Fear and Finding Freedom

    Send us a text Today, I want to share something really personal with you — my phobia of flying.  For years, that fear held me back. It wasn’t just about the plane — it was about control, surrender, and trust. Every time I even thought about flying, my body would react before my mind had a chance to reason with it.  But here’s the thing — I faced it.  This past weekend, I got on a plane and flew to Christchurch for a retreat — four nights and five days that truly changed my life. When I got there, I realized something: the fear wasn’t really about flying at all. It was about the emotions I hadn’t processed — the ones that wanted to keep me safe but were really keeping me small. Once I began to connect to those deeper emotions, something started to shift. That’s the power of self-work — of turning inward, of giving yourself permission to feel and heal.  We think fear protects us, but so often, it just hides the part of us that’s ready to be free. So, if you’re sitting there listening, wondering if it’s time for your next step — it is.  If you’re ready to change your life the way I did, come to my retreat in February next year. It’s designed for real transformation — where you’ll be supported, seen, and deeply reconnected to your purpose. Or if you’d like something more personal, work with me one-to-one, where we can uncover what’s holding you back and start shifting those emotional stories at their roots. And if you’d like to be part of an empowering, ongoing community — come join my Elevator Group, where all boats rise on the tide. It’s a weekly space of growth, purpose, and courage. Because sometimes, the only way to move beyond fear… is to take the flight. Until next time — remember:  You matter. And may the story shift for you.
