    Episode 4: Tales of Awakening; Energy

    Send us Fan Mail In this deeply personal episode of Tales of Awakening, Elise shares two powerful dreams that uncovered a profound message about creativity, self-expression, and reclaiming personal energy. From mysterious pink capital letters spelling “ENERGY,” to a rockstar-like figure embodying unapologetic creative force, to standing at the top of a long country road facing rows of police cars, this episode explores what happens when we stop policing our own light. Through storytelling, symbolism, and reflection, Elise unpacks themes of: • Creative awakening • Energetic sovereignty • Self-expression without permission • Outgrowing old systems and expectations • The tension between softness and power This is an episode for anyone who has ever dimmed themselves to fit in, softened their truth to be accepted, or felt the call to rise into a bolder, more authentic version of themselves. Sometimes awakening doesn’t arrive quietly. Sometimes it arrives as a dream that refuses to let you look away.

    Episode 3 Tales Of Awakening, Logos

    Send us Fan Mail Some awakenings don't arrive with lightening.  They arrive as a quiet knowing in the body. A tightening, a softening, a sense that there's more happening beneath the surface than we were ever taught to name. This episode explores the subtle body, energetic anatomy and the ancient idea of logos, the intelligence that brings meaning into form, spoken of by thinkers like Aristole. This isn't about belief systems. It's about listening. To how the body holds stories. To how energy moves when truth lands. To how awakening often feels less like becoming someone new, and more like remembering who you've always been.

    Episode 1, Tales Of Awakening; Intro

    Send us Fan Mail This series is for those standing at the quiet crossroads of change. The moment after survival, when something within begins to stir. Through honest reflections, lived stories, and gentle guidance, Tales of Awakening explores what it means to wake up to yourself again after loss, burnout, grief, or long seasons of simply getting through. These are stories of unravelling and remembering. Of releasing old identities and listening for the quieter, truer voice within. Each episode invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner wisdom as we navigate healing, consciousness, purpose, creativity, and the courage it takes to choose a more intentional life. This is not about fixing yourself.  It’s about coming home to who you’ve always been. If you’re on a healing journey, feeling the pull toward something deeper, or sensing that life is asking you to awaken rather than endure, Tales of Awakening is for you. 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Buzzsprout  🌱 New episodes released regularly Survive.Rise.Thrive.
