Self love has been turned into a cute aesthetic. Bubble baths. Face masks. A new manicure.

This episode is the real version.

I share pieces of my own journey, including the early memories that shaped how I saw my body and myself, and we break down what self love actually looks like in real life. Boundaries. Authenticity. Taking responsibility for your patterns. Feeling emotions instead of escaping them. Having the conversations that feel edgy. Choosing what is nourishing even when comfort is calling.

You will also get a practical starting point that I give every client.

A Mind Body Spirit audit to help you see what is supporting you, what is draining you, and what upgrades are ready to be made.

If self love has felt confusing, heavy, or like something you “should” have mastered by now, this episode brings it back to the truth.

Simple. Honest. Doable.

Inside this episode, we cover
What self love actually is
Why triggers are clues, not problems
How unconscious patterns get formed and repeated
Why responsibility is freedom
How to create a morning and evening routine that builds self trust
Why leaning into the edge changes everything

If you do the Mind Body Spirit audit after listening, message me on Instagram and tell me what you noticed. I love hearing your breakthroughs.

In this episode of the ELVOLVE podcast, I’m joined by Dean Lucas for a deep, honest conversation about personal evolution, adversity, emotional healing, and what it really means to live consciously.

We explore why suffering and challenge are not things to avoid, but essential initiations into who we become. From childhood loneliness and depression, to heartbreak, identity shifts, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and unfulfilled potential, this conversation moves into the spaces most people try to bypass.

We talk about why comfort keeps people stuck, how unprocessed emotions quietly shape our relationships and health, and why avoidance often creates more pain than feeling things fully ever could. Deano shares openly about fear, ego, commitment, identity beyond achievement, and what happens when you stop half-living your life.

This episode also dives into relationships, emotional availability, self-worth, and the patterns we repeat until we are willing to look at ourselves honestly. We unpack why nothing changes if nothing changes, how self-awareness creates freedom, and why growth is built through small daily choices rather than big moments.

This is a conversation for anyone who feels there is more to life than distraction, validation, and surface-level success. If you’re navigating change, questioning your direction, or learning how to show up more fully for yourself and others, this episode will meet you right where you are.

No fluff. No bypassing. Just truth, perspective, and grounded reflection.

In this solo episode, Elly breaks down the nervous system in a way that finally makes sense and feels real.

We’re talking about what your nervous system actually is, how it’s constantly scanning for safety, and why it’s designed to keep you alive rather than keep you happy. You’ll learn the most common signs of dysregulation across your thoughts, emotions, body, and behaviours, from overthinking and anxiety to burnout, gut issues, people pleasing, procrastination, binge eating, overworking and attracting emotionally unavailable partners.

Elly also shares her own story of being deeply dysregulated and thinking it was normal, the patterns she used to cope, and the moment she realised something had to change. From there, she walks you through what regulation really takes, including your environment, your daily habits, unresolved trauma, emotional build up, identity patterns, and the simple tools that help you come back to centre in real time.

You’ll leave with practical breathwork you can use immediately (physiological sigh + coherence breathing), a powerful reframe around labels like “lazy” or “broken,” and a deeper sense of safety in your own body.

If this episode hits home, this is the foundation of the work inside Elly’s private coaching and her group program "She Regulated" which starts mid March 2026.

In this episode of The ELVOLVE Podcast, Elly is joined by powerhouse entrepreneur, manifestation teacher, and founder of Rise & Conquer, Georgie Stevenson, for a raw and expansive conversation about identity, intuition, and becoming the version of yourself who actually gets what she desires.

Together, they unpack what manifestation really is beyond vision boards and affirmations - and why nervous system regulation, self trust, and identity work are the foundations most people skip. Georgie shares her journey from law to building multi seven and eight figure businesses, how spirituality found its way back into her life after a religious upbringing, and why the quiet inner whisper is often more powerful than logic.

This conversation moves through motherhood, breaking generational patterns, choosing beliefs intentionally, plant medicine, breathwork, discipline in manifestation, and the difference between chasing a life versus allowing one to unfold.

It’s an honest, thoughtful, and energising discussion about trusting yourself, shedding old identities, and learning how to be the person who lives the life you want - rather than constantly trying to get there.

If you’re curious about manifestation, identity shifts, nervous system regulation, or you’re standing on the edge of your next evolution, this episode will land.

Expect depth, humour, big insights, and plenty of “oh shit… that’s true” moments.

What if the restlessness you’ve been feeling isn’t a problem to fix… it’s a message?

In this episode, Elly talks about the idea of breaking up with your old life and why so many people hit a fork in the road where they can either keep choosing the familiar, or finally choose what they know deep down is calling them.

You’ll hear about the moments that force change, the “rock bottom” wake up calls, and why the universe tends to get louder when you keep ignoring the whisper. Elly unpacks what it actually looks like to step into a new identity without needing to burn your whole life down, using real examples like people pleasing, self abandonment, and saying yes when your whole body is screaming no.

She also shares one of her favourite analogies… the overgrown garden. Why trying to sort everything out on your own can keep you stuck in the weeds, and why getting support is sometimes the difference between surviving and actually flourishing.

This episode is a big sister pep talk with depth. There’s honesty, humour, and a loving push to stop settling for a life that feels numb, mediocre, or “fine on paper” but empty in your body.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to change something, if your old life is starting to feel too small, or if you know you’re meant for more but you’re scared to take the step… this one is for you.

Come as you are.
Leave feeling clearer, braver, and more willing to take the right path.

In this episode of The ELVOLVE Podcast, Elly is joined by her dear friend and fellow facilitator Emma Masters for a wide ranging, honest, and deeply human conversation about healing, presence, and what it really means to feel alive.

Emma is the founder of Therapy, a Gold Coast movement and breathwork space designed to feel exactly like what the name suggests - therapy for the nervous system. Together, Elly and Emma explore the power of sensory experience, intentional environments, and why true transformation is never one size fits all.

This conversation weaves through breathwork, ritual, tea ceremony, plant medicine, nervous system regulation, and the difference between forcing growth versus allowing it to unfold gently. Emma shares her journey from musical theatre to facilitation, how creativity and music shape her work, and why slowing down has become one of the most powerful medicines in a hyper connected world.

They also speak candidly about readiness for change, why pain often becomes the catalyst for growth, and how learning to listen to the body can open doors that logic alone never could. Along the way, expect reflections on identity, spirituality, fantasy books, dragons, joy, and the freedom that comes from choosing a life you actually love waking up to.

This episode is thoughtful, funny, reflective, and full of moments that invite you to pause and ask yourself what you need, right now.

If you’re curious about breathwork, nervous system healing, intentional living, or simply want a conversation that feels like sitting down with two friends who aren’t afraid to go there - this one’s for you.

Welcome to the ELVOLVE Podcast (and the Costa Rica download that changed everything)

Welcome to the very first episode of the ELVOLVE Podcast. I’m so excited to be back in your ears, this time as a solo host.

If you listened to Reclaiming Love, thank you for coming with me into this new chapter. And if you’re wondering where that podcast went, I share the truth in this episode, what shifted behind the scenes, why the old episodes were archived, and why this next season feels like the most aligned evolution yet.

I’m also taking you into the story of how I ended up moving to Costa Rica, even though I never thought I could live overseas. The downloads, the fear, the invisible thread I couldn’t ignore, and the way everything unfolded with this effortless “it’s already done” energy once I surrendered to trust.

We talk nervous system space, slowing down, rebuilding a life that actually feels good to live, and one of the biggest lessons I took from ceremony, the power of intention and having the conversations that create safety, clarity and deeper connection in your relationships.

If you’ve been feeling the pull towards something new and it’s bringing up fear, uncertainty, guilt, or the urge to talk yourself out of it, this episode is your reminder that the answers live inside you and sometimes the path makes sense after you take the step.

If this lands, share it with a friend who needs it, and come say hi on Instagram so we can connect.

Big love,
Elly
