    4: Highest Self [personal practice]

    This guided visualization is a daily grounding practice to support real-life embodiment. It is a return to your body, your values, and your purpose here on Earth. This practice is meant to be used regularly, as a way to remember your highest frequency while staying rooted in your actual life. In this visualization, Elise guides you to: Ground your body and nervous systemReconnect with your highest self without leaving your relationships or responsibilitiesClarify how integrity, presence, and purpose show up todayStrengthen discernment when life feels noisy or urgentAnchor into steadiness rather than reactionYour highest self is not a perfected future version of you. She is the you who is regulated, rooted, and consistently aligned in conversation, in boundary, in care, and in choice. This practice is under ten minutes and can be done daily, in the morning, before important conversations, or anytime you need to return to yourself. One honest action is enough.

    3: Feet on the ground - that is "the work"

    This episode is a pause. A return to discernment in a world obsessed with healing, self-growth, and “doing the work.” Reflection is beautiful. Healing matters. And… not every healing space is actually "healing." Not every facilitator is embodied. Not every invitation is rooted in integrity. In this episode, Elise speaks directly to a growing concern in spiritual and personal-growth communities: when growth becomes synonymous with disruption — when people are encouraged to burn down their lives and call it healing. The work is your real life. Showing up day after day as your highest self — in partnership, in motherhood, in friendships, in work, in honest conversations and clean boundaries. Not escapism. Not avoidance. Not dramatic exits without embodiment. This episode explores: Why we are not wired to hold everyone else’s life and sufferingThe difference between true growth and fear-based disruptionRed flags in facilitators and groups that prioritize individual breakthroughs over the greater ecosystem of a woman’s lifeWhy certification without embodiment is dangerousHow integrity, frequency, and lived experience matter in healing spacesWhy the grass is not greener when avoidance is the answerElise also shares personal insight shaped by a lifetime in spiritual community, witnessing the impact of escapism on family systems, and guiding women back into grounded, relational, real-world embodiment. Embodiment invitation: In the next episode, you are invited into a guided visualization to tap into and remember your highest self.

    1: Introduction to the Wild Haul and who Elise is

    Welcome to The Wild Haul with Elise. A slow-burn, no-tiptoe space for women who can feel there’s more going on than what they've been told. In this first episode, Elise Bowerman introduces herself and opens the honest invitation to decide if you want to trust her to walk with you. In this episode, we explore: Why Elise is not here to perform wellness or make womanhood palatableWhat “The Wild Haul” actually means Elise’s background as a Michigan mom of two teens, raised with homeopathy and natural medicine firstTwo decades of supporting women through reiki, feng shui, medical intuition, dance + yoga, and birth/postpartum thresholdsThe identity shift Elise has been living since 2022—the kind that costs being misunderstood, but gives you a life that belongs to youWhat women come to Elise for: discernment, permission, support, and a calm voice when the world wants compliance and speedWhat this podcast will hold: motherhood + partnership, intuition + medicine, cycles + nervous system truth, birth imprints, desire, power, money, pleasure—and what we’re “not supposed” to say out loudA closing ritual to help you return to your own knowing—just 5% more trust this weekShout out to the woman who taught Elise (in ONE workshop) how to start a podcast: Laura Tomlinson, Founder of LT Lifestyle Management.
