Podcast appearances and mentions of alex elle

Consider what you want to make space for in your life in this 6-minute contemplation guided by Alex Elle.  Find a quiet place, settle your body, and reflect on where you want more clarity or ease in your life. Breathe deeply, filling your belly on each inhale and softening your body on each exhale. Notice the fears, doubts, or stresses you're carrying and gently commit to letting them go. Pick one phrase from the meditation that speaks to you most deeply (e.g., In the presence of chaos, I will make space for inner peace). Write it down on a sticky note and place it somewhere visible to keep the intention alive throughout your day. Close your practice by offering yourself grace, trusting that making space takes time and patience.

One day, when she was a teenager spending the summer in Ireland, Libby DeLana took the bus into Dublin and was awed by the Book of Kells. Little did she know that moment would change her professional trajectory. Fast forward to several years later, with an undergraduate degree in hand, Libby went to culinary school with a friend and discovered that as much as she enjoyed creating delicious food, she was far more enthralled with the layout of a beautiful menu. She listened to these whispers of what really lit her up and had a very successful career in advertising. Fast forward a bit more, and while everything seemed great on the surface, Libby realized something felt off in her life.  Once again, she listened to the whispers, laced up her shoes and went for a walk.  And she has kept walking, every day, for the past 12 years.  Libby has turned this walking practice into more than just being in nature.  She has a whole new chapter in her life, has written a book and hosts a great podcast. Listen in to hear Libby's perfectly imperfect journey.   Bio Libby DeLana is an Executive Creative Director, founder of This Morning Walk™ (thismorningwalk.com / @thismorningwalk / #thismorningwalk) and is co-host of the podcast This Morning Walk with Alex Elle. She spoke at The Do Lectures 2022 with Cheryl Strayed about the transformative power of a walk. Libby spent her career in advertising and was the Design Director at MullenLowe for 15 years, then went on to co-found Mechanica, a small boutique agency in Massachusetts. Libby's work has won many industry awards, has been featured in publications like PRINT Design Annual, Graphis Design & Logo, Fast Company, Communication Arts, and has been profiled by the BBC for the series called The Chain in which, “leading figures name the woman who's inspired their success for the next interview in this audio chain.”   Please feel free to join this walking community by following @thismorningwalk @parkhere on Instagram or for more info and resources thismorningwalk.com

Have you ever felt shackled by the weight of others' expectations or judgments? It's time to break free. This episode is all about reclaiming your peace of mind by adopting the 'let them and let God' philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the ever-so-relatable TikTok content creator Alex Elle, we delve into the concept of letting others be wrong about us. Together, we uncover the empowering process of disconnecting from the need to control narratives and the transformative effect it has on living authentically.During our heart-to-heart, I open up about the personal challenges of managing a public persona and the profound sense of freedom that comes when you stop overvaluing others' perceptions. I'll share how we can refocus on our heart and intentions, and why letting the weight of external judgments fall away is crucial for self-acceptance. It's about understanding that our worth isn't tied to others' opinions but rooted in the knowledge of our divine creation. Support the showDid you enjoy today's episode?

Join hosts Alex Elle and Libby DeLana as they share the lessons they've learned on their walking paths, both individually and together. Alex - A New York Times BestSelling Author and writing coach living in DC with her husband and daughters - and Libby - a Creative Director based on both coasts with grown children - started This Morning Walk Podcast to reflect on the ways a daily walk keeps them grounded in their day-to-day lives. As Alex likes to say - “It's deeper than walking. It's about slowing down, looking up, and finding clarity in your daily life.” It's a practice. A mindset. A way forward. And ultimately, it's a new path.

When was the last time you felt truly seen, flaws and all, without pretending or minimizing yourself? For many, those moments of radical self-acceptance are rare. Today we're sharing stories from three inspiring women - author Alex Elle, teacher Rosie Acosta, and poet Arielle Estoria - who have uncovered their truest selves after shedding layers of conditioning. Their profoundly personal journeys offer wisdom for us all. We explored what it takes to embrace who you are, not who you "should" be, and how sharing your unique light can help you find belonging. Their stories and words are infused with empathy, compassion, and generosity of spirit. My hope is this episode will spark self-reflection and help you reconnect with your authentic voice. Because when we can be radically seen and loved fully - that's when we glimpse our highest potential.Episode TranscriptYou can find Alex at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with AlexYou can find Rosie at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with RosieYou can find Arielle at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with ArielleCheck out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKED.

Can you make space for the whole truth in your life? The whole truth *of* your life? This week, best-selling author Alex Elle talks about the post-partum period after the launch of her newest book, and how her healing is intertwined with hearing the truth - the whole truth - about her own life.    In this episode we cover:    Why one of Alex's friends told her she stop hoarding her stories How owning your own story - and your own healing - impacts everyone around you The intersections of writing, healing, and grief How to give yourself permission to heal from the same thing more than once Why learning to slow down is the key to self-healing    Notable quote:  “No one taught me how to be a mother. No one taught me how to be warm and nurturing. I had to figure that out on my own. No one taught me how to hold space and not try to fix someone's tears. I had to figure it out on my own. I think part of my healing and my grief work is (exploring): ‘What did I need that I didn't get?'” - Alex Elle   About our guest:   Alexandra Elle is a New York Times Bestselling author, wellness educator, and certified Breathwork coach.

You have just joined another solo episode with the host of The Earth Sea Love Podcast, Dr. Sheree Mack as she takes the time and energy to share with you her healing journey of 2023, so far!   This episode starts with another quote from Alex Elle, which states,   "We heal to make space, to redefine ourselves and our narratives. To expand and become better. To forgive, create new possibilities, and move forward. To build community and create bonds. We heal to release shame, manifest self-love, create autonomy, and begin again. We heal to redefine ourselves, face our fears, and develop self-trust. We heal to mend relationships and deepen connections with those around is. We heal to get free. " Alex Elle, How We Heal: Uncover Your Power and Set Yourself Free ( 2022, p.12)   Following this quote, Sheree shares about her issue around considering herself 'enough' and then continues to share her 10 reasons for wanting to heal, taken from Elle's book. Here are the sentence starters as mentioned in this episode which also appear in Alex Elle's book and can be used by you to think about what you need to heal also. Ten Reasons Why I Heal ( p.18 of How We Heal)   I am healing because I want ... I am healing because I need ... I am healing because I deserve ... I am healing because I feel ... I am healing because I see ... I am healing because I love ... I am healing because I my ... I am healing because I am ... I am healing because I can ... I am healing because I choose ...

Cole Arthur Riley grew up in a house full of loud, funny, and loving personalities, but as a kid, she kept her voice from others, barely speaking at all until she was 7 years old. Still, her dad kept finding ways to, as she described, bribe her to share her voice and nurture her creative impulse, often in writing, from poems to stories and beyond. Over time, as her expressive and creative voice took shape, her lens on spirituality also yearned for a more expansive expression, she began to bring all parts of her life together - the creative impulse, life experience, sense of identity and fairness and spiritual inclination - to write her own blended prayer-meets-poetry, modern liturgies. Then, she started sharing them on Instagram under the moniker, Black Liturgies. Almost immediately, the project took off, growing into a global phenomenon. Her work then led to Cole's debut book and New York Times bestseller, This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us, which explores some of the most urgent questions of life, identity, and faith: How can spirituality not silence the body, but instead allow it to come alive? How do we honor, lament, and heal from the stories we inherit? How can we find peace in a world overtaken with dislocation, noise, and unrest? In this stunning work, Cole invites us to descend into our own stories, examine our capacity to rest, wonder, joy, rage, and repair, and find that our humanity is not an enemy to faith but evidence of it. And we talk about all of it in today's conversation. Her journey, her wisdom, the incredible response of the community, and more.You can find Cole at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Alex Elle about how to heal.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKED: We're looking for special guest “wisdom-seekers” to share the moment you're in, then pose questions to Jonathan and the Sparked Braintrust to be answered, “on air.” To submit your “moment & question” for consideration to be on the show go to sparketype.com/submit.

We will learn: How to tend to self-doubt and make room for new beginnings. How to befriend our fear, so it no longer controls us. How to reclaim our power by leaning into what feels good. Do you believe you have the ability to heal yourself? Whatever we're looking to heal… back pain, migraines, cancer, or anxiety, inner peace, or a lack of purpose… our minds play a powerful part in the process. Rather than just looking outside of yourself for a magic pill or someone to save you, you can actually develop the tools to save yourself. So that's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Alex Elle. She is an author, certified breathwork coach, and Restorative Writing teacher. Her latest book is, “How We Heal: Uncover Your Power and Set Yourself Free.” Writing came into her life by way of therapy and the exploration of healing through journaling and mindfulness. The intention behind Alex's work is to build community & self-care practices through literature & language. Alex teaches workshops, courses, and retreats to assist others in finding their voices and creating clarity in their lives & relationships.

Hey friend, hey!Our Weekly Word is Journal. This is one that we've talked about across several episodes, because it's such a powerful of a practice. Outside of the known therapeutic benefits of journaling, the practice also has a strong positive correlation to success when it comes to accomplishing our goals. Tune in as we talk about how keeping a journal has helped us execute on ideas and intentions, how its helped us process both difficult and joyful seasons, and how its given us a space to work out our prayers and our praise. Journaling has held us accountable, helped to document our progress, and lay out plans to support our purpose. Our prayer for the week is this:God, thank you for creating each one of us with a purpose. Thank you for speaking vision into us. Thank you for giving us the first step on our journey toward carrying out that vision. Help me to comply with what You ask of me. Help to find clarity, commitment and conviction. Finally, I pray that I would draw closer to you through it all. In Jesus' name. Amen.And our practice commitment is this:This week, I will take the first step toward running with God's vision for me by simply writing it down.A few other notes from the show:You can find the Immune Boost  drops I talked about here. And here's more from the brand, Joy Spring. You can find our friend, Shalyce, and all her glowing content (blog, podcast, newsletter, shop + more) here. And here's the daily gratitude blog/digital journal on Substack from Alex Elle.Support the show

Practice gratitude.Break bread.Show love.Set boundaries.Rest & reset.Have hope. Do good.Offer grace.Also, check out the book we mentioned by the wonderful, Alex Elle,  - How We Heal.Our prayer for the week is this:God, thank you for the healing that we can find in You. Thank you, also, for the capacity to learn from our lived experiences and to do better. Thank you for the opportunity to recover from things that may have injured us in the past. Help me to commit (or recommit) my life to You. Direct me on my path, and allow me to find and align with those who will support me along my journey. In Jesus' name. Amen.And our practice commitment is this:This week, I will take the first step of healing through hospitality and “Just start.” I will commit to my healing journey by moving through the twelve practices in the weeks ahead.xo, m.Support the show

Best-selling author Alex Elle is the first to acknowledge that learning to love and be loved has been a lifelong effort for her. The renowned speaker tells Ashley that her mother-in-law was “the first woman to make me feel worthy of love.” She recounts her earliest memories of receiving that unconditional love, and admits that she didn't think she was capable of loving others before she met her husband. “I needed to be willing to love myself,” she says, before she could receive love. The healing expert gets frank about initially mistaking dysfunction, chaos, and heartbreak for love. Today, Alex focuses on making intentional space to craft her legacy, because “the joy work” is integral to break the cycles of generational trauma. 

I've come to realize something, we are all healing from something. All the time. Maybe it's a physical illness or injury or harm, maybe it's rooted more in our minds, maybe it's even rooted in the culture. But, we're all invited into a path of healing, and we all need it on some level, even if we don't know it, or want to own it quite yet.Question is, how do you find healing when you feel like all the odds are stacked against you?When you feel like you take two steps backward for every step forward? How do you heal beyond the visible wounds, and reclaim something deeper, more whole? And, how do we heal as a path of growth and expression and joy?This is where we're heading in today's conversation with Alex Elle, who's found a way to approach self-healing from a practical, relatable, expansive standpoint. Alex is an author, certified breathwork coach, and restorative writing teacher whose powerful healing journey has led her to where she is today. Her newest book, How We Heal: Uncover Your Power and Set Yourself Free, is a practical and empowering guide to self-healing, filled with essential techniques and insights that invite readers to unlock their confidence to heal on their own. And in our conversation today, we explore Alex's own healing journey and the barriers—which you might find relatable—that stood in the way of her process, and we discuss the difficulties of healing when no one else around you is doing it, breaking generational cycles, and how to heal when you're ready.

Consider what you want to make space for in your life in this 6-minute contemplation guided by Alex Elle. How to Do This Practice: Take a few deep breaths. File up your belly on each inhale. Drop your shoulder and soften your body on each exhale. Say these eight phrases to yourself, or your own variation of them. Consider which resonates with you the most: a. “In the presence of fear, I will make space for courage.” b. “In the presence of self-doubt, I will make space for self-belief.” c. “In the presence of hurriedness, I will make space for slowing down.” d. “In the presence of overwhelm, I will make space for rest.” e. “In the presence of overthinking, I will make space for letting go.” f. “In the presence of chaos, I will make space for inner peace.” g. “In the presence of confusion, I will make space for clarity.” h. “In the presence of pain, I will make space for self-compassion.” Bring your attention to the line from this meditation that resonates with you the most. Think about all the ways you wish to make space so you can bloom into the best version of yourself. Write it down, perhaps on a sticky note, and keep it somewhere you can see it.

Letting go of our regrets can motivate us to improve and help us grow. Alex Elle, a certified breathwork and writing coach, guides us through a meditation to forgive and accept ourselves. How to Do This Practice: Take a deep breath. As you exhale, remember all you have done in the past that led you to come to be where you are today. Remember that you are allowed to forgive yourself and let it go. Give yourself permission to release any shame that you're carrying. Forgive yourself. Think of the good things about yourself. Trust your worth and acknowledge that you are evolving. Remember, you are worthy of good things even when you think you are now. When you're ready, you can bring your attention back to the present moment. Take a few deep breaths in through the nose, and out through the nose. Drop your shoulder and unclench your jaw. If you'd like to take this practice a step further, you can write your own letter of self forgiveness, it can start with “Dear self, I forgive you for …” Today's Happiness Break host: Alex Elle is a certified breathwork coach, author and restorative writing teacher.

Between the stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, burnout — we all could use a break to feel better. That's where Happiness Break comes in. In each biweekly podcast episode, instructors guide you through research-backed practices and meditations that you can do in real-time. These relaxing and uplifting practices have been shown in a lab to help you cultivate calm, compassion, connection, mindfulness, and more — what the latest science says will directly support your well-being. All in less than ten minutes. A little break in your day.

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Elle, an author, wellness educator, Restorative Writing teacher, and certified Breath-work coach. After discovering Alex on social media and grabbing her book, After The Rain, I knew she was a perfect fit for this community. We cover a lot of ground, discussing relationships, self discovery, healing trauma, breaking cycles, and creating boundaries. Connect with me on social @brianundy Text me! 502-221-9798
