In this Trailercast conversation you get to listen in as I talk with Kelli. When we were first supposed to record, technology did its thing and we ended up having to reschedule. But, I am so excited for you to hear what happened in the in-between from when we were supposed to record, and when we actually did. About the growth that Kelli experienced.  How does looking in the shower and seeing soap lead to a transformation? Kelli shares the most relatable story and so much more. Quarantine, worthiness, the mother/daughter relationship, parenting and a true mirror… we hit on it all. There is so much beautiful and truth in this conversation. My hope is that you can find yourself in her story and claim the truth that Kelli has shared with us here. You ARE worthy.  Cheers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/support

As I have been writing my book, feels so weird to even say that, I have noticed there are some major gaps in what I needed to hear growing up. Good news, I am the one writing the story this time, the one holding the pen. So I can say those things, so can you. This episode weaves through some of the ideas behind therapy and how it functions, early messaging and how to shift roles in your story. I also share with you some statements or declarations of things I have been holding on to as I write that might be something you try on for yourself. I hope you feel and know in your bones that everything belongs, every story deserves sunshine, you are the one holding the pen.  If you are interested in doing your own narrative work with me, I have a few spots left for the private retreats I host, all information can be found on my website: www.elysesnipes.com/weekends  Cheers!

Welcome to another Trailercast conversation! This is a special episode, and I am so excited to share it with you. In this episode, I’m talking with Sophie.  Right off the bat I can tell you this; Sophie is a powerhouse. She wrote into the show wanting to process through, in her own words, “navigating shame, resilience and uncertainty in a time of great personal growth and transformation, especially as a young person in today’s society.” Throughout our conversation we tackle imposter syndrome, self-doubt and how to identify the inner critic. We talk about trusting our gut and our knowing, and the importance of sharing our stories. Listen in and hear how Sophie has learned to sit in the driver’s seat of her own life, and hear a young woman living into her own freedom and autonomy. My hope is that you leave this conversation knowing that we need you and your story too. Your life is essential and your story is essential. We have so much to learn from one another. Cheers. --- Send in a voice message: https

When I started Trailercast, I wasn’t really sure what it was going to become. It was a creative outlet for me, and I knew that I loved it, but what I have really been so blown away by is how it has become a pretty amazing piece of connection to others. I love when listeners reach out, share their stories and let me know what parts of my story connect to parts of theirs. And I LOVE the opportunity to sit down with listeners in these Trailercast conversations. In this episode, you get to meet April. I absolutely loved this conversation, and cannot wait to hear what you think. To hear what pieces of April’s beautiful story connect to yours. We talk about the big C (cancer,) motherhood, and repairing things along the way. When you think that you are the only one, this podcast exists to remind you that you are not alone.

In this episode of Trailercast we continue our conversations series with a very special mama who lives on the other side of the world.  I had the privilege of sitting down and talking with Rachel, all the way in New Zealand, about what happens when you get the kind of news that you never hope to get. What happens when the thing that you never thought could happen, happens. Right before the pandemic hit Rachel’s five year old son was diagnosed with leukemia. This is such an important conversation for anyone and everyone. My hope is that listening to Rachel share about her experience will ignite the empath in all of us, and teach us better how to sit with hard things well. Rachel, thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability, and for teaching us a better way to support the ones we love when the hard news hits close to home. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/support

This episode feels extra special, because I get to introduce you to my friend, my team member, Radical Wellness' own, Katie Hayden. Katie is a therapist, coach and licensed clinical social worker, and I have the privilege of working alongside her weekly.  Katie and I met when she came to Weekends, and I'm so thankful that she came because I cannot imagine the Radical Wellness team without her presence, her wisdom and her magic. Listening to Katie talk about life and therapy and her experience is like receiving a warm, reassuring hug. She is honest and real and vulnerable, and shares so much goodness with us here. Listen in as we chat all the things, from the personal to the professional, and about how you can experience being "wrapped up in your wholeness," as Katie so beautifully puts it.  Interested in working with Katie or our team at Radical Wellness?

 One of the things that I have been practicing in 2021 is showing up in a pretty real and raw form. And I sense that we are all craving that authenticity these days. In this episode, join me as I process through something that happened last week, the memories and emotions that it triggered, and the beautiful truth that emerged as I worked through it. Here we are going to be talking about what we are holding. We are going to be talking about death and grieving. And we are going to be talking about what is preventing us from actually receiving the thing that we need. The thing that is good and true and ours. Join me in asking the question, “What is it that you are holding onto, and what might you be missing receiving because of that?”  What beauty might occur if we could let go?

 We’re back! Welcome to the first episode of Trailercast in 2021. We did it. We made it to the new year. Last week I reached out to my Instagram community and asked “What would you like more of in 2021?” and one theme that came up time and time again was friendship. Adult friendships. How to make new friends as adults, how to navigate tricky friendship dynamics as adults, and to nourish and care for adult friendships, when there are so many more demands on our time than there was when we were younger. So in this episode, as a fellow sojourner,  I touch on just that! And not only I dive into the topic of friendship, I also do some checking-in, reflecting, dreaming and offer a bit of encouragement as we step into this new season. Cheers! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/support

Welcome to this very special episode of Trailercast!  Today we are going to take some time to say a “goodbye” to 2020 and reflect on all that this unprecedented year has been for us, both collectively and individually. We look at rules vs. rituals, and the importance of how rest fits into the whole picture as we head into a new year. We ask, how can we move out of 2020 and into 2021 in a way that feels the most honest and kind and true to ourselves? How do we maintain and hold onto who we are in this next season? What was 2020 like for you?  Join me in an exercise as we scan through the months and ask ourselves the good/hard questions. What do you need to leave in 2020? And what do you need for 2021? This special new years episode isn’t about hustling harder or setting strict rules for ourselves, but rather, about moving through our lives in the most beautiful, loving and free way we that can. We get to choose.  Thank you, dear listeners, for tuning in this and going on this journey with me thi

In this episode of Trailercast I have the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Tracy Cooper, PhD, alongside my friend Andy Lara, and interviewing him on what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person. We discuss what the experience is of someone living as a highly sensitive person, what that even means, how to understand it for yourself, and as a partner, friend or as a parent of a someone with high sensitivity.  And in addition to giving great information on HSPs, this episode also highlights how helpful it is when we are given the right language for our lived experience. How it can set us free to discover that we are not alone in the way we process the world. This episode gives a great example about what can happen when people get curious about their own human experience, and all the different ways that we get to be free. You can find out more about Dr. Cooper's work on his website, and take the Highly Sensitive Person test here, on the website of Dr. Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D.  --- Send in a voice message: http

This episode is a special one, because I get to sit down and have a conversation with a long-time Trailercast listener and OG Weekends participant. Namoi and I talk all about change, Weekends and some of the unexpected gifts that the COVID shutdown has brought. We talk about career, and knowing when it’s time to stay or time to move onto something new. We talk about the idea of possibility, and the energy that the “maybes” can open up for us. How do we honor a need for structure and stability, along side a wild spirit? We also talk about the double edge sword of awareness. How when we do enough of our own work and become aware of our own “stuff,” it can be both liberating and at times exhausting. How do we receive the invitation of awareness without also RSVPing to shame? How do we move from awareness into action and liberation? Part of my main focus is helping women stand in their own power and be witnessed. To hold up a mirror and reflect back all that glory. This is part of the work of Weekends. If you’ve

The holidays are here.  Take a deep breath. This Trailercast episode is all about the holidays and how to best show up as our authentic, healthy selves this season. This is a loaded time of year in so many ways, with all of the “supposed-tos” and “have-tos” and the way our old family stuff often seems to be highlighted and intensified. It can be a lot. Explore with me some creative ideas and practical exercises you can do to maintain internal peace and stay true to yourself this season, even if things start to feel out of your control or expectations. Let’s explore what is needed in order for you to feel the most yourself in the midst of it all... approaching the holidays at peace, free and capable of showing up well. You get to decide. If you are listening to this episode and thinking that it might be helpful to enlist a little extra support during the holidays, a friendly reminder that my team at Radical Wellness is here for you.

This episode of Trailercast is extra special, because I got to sit down and have a round table discussion with some of the ladies who attend the most recent Weekends retreat in Malibu!

Welcome to today’s episode! I am so honored to share my conversation with my friend Leith McHugh with you. Leith and I met during an intensive retreat for mental health professionals, and she is here to share her story and an incredible amount of wisdom with us. Wisdom that was hard won, and comes from real, raw life experience. I knew that I had to have Leith on to share her story with you. Especially now, in the context of 2020 and the massive amounts of chaos and turmoil this year has brought. At times it all feels impossible to navigate, and Leith’s story reminds us that even when it feels like we are in the shore pound and it just doesn’t stop, maybe there is something we can do about it. She shares with us the way that her family, in the midst of immense loss and pain, stopped and rebooted their lives completely. She reminds us that we don’t have to stay in the old story, that we can start over and build something new. You can learn more about the work Leith does and connect with her at https://www.leit

In this Trailercast conversation, listen in as I talk with Krystal about the fear of being visible. What happens when you say “yes” to letting yourself be seen? What is the difference between visibility and exposure? Witness real work happening in real time, and hopefully learn some good tools that you can take for yourself as we do a visualization exercise aimed at helping getting us unstuck and moving forward on a strong, sturdy path. This episode reminds me that this really is meant to be a shared experience. Trailercast, the therapeutic journey, life… all of it.

I hope you are ready, because this Trailercast conversation is fire! We jump right in, and I’m so glad you get to listen in on this important work. I’m still reeling from how incredible it was to watch this amazing woman step into her power and strength.  In this conversation, we talk about our stories of origin and the way that we often choose the familiar story, though it often no longer serves us. We talk about how to restore those core beliefs. How to choose the counter narrative. How to learn where we need to step out of the old story, or someone else’s story, and into our own. How to recognize what is not ours to carry in the first place. In this episode you get to listen in as my friend embarks on the heroine’s journey. A shared journey. As you listen in, my hope is that you can find yourself somewhere in her story, and know that healing can be yours. You too, are on a hero or heroine’s journey. The time is now. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/message Support this podcast:

One of my very favorite things about these Trailercast conversations is the opportunity to really get to know listeners. The opportunity to hear from you; to hand you the mic and see where the conversation leads. It is always a thrill to unpack your stories, and always leaves me with an immense feeling of gratitude and awe. In this episode you get to meet Jessie, and I just loved talking to her. We dive right into her story, beginning with a cancer diagnosis in high school. We talk about survival and healing and love. We talk about being a part of something bigger than ourselves and experiences where our stories cross and intersect with the divine. We touch on what is happening in her life now: on teaching and learning and living through this pandemic. We talk about her journey with trying to have a baby, and the truth that we are not alone on whatever path we find ourselves on.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have see that my family and I have moved. We have moved out of the house that my husband has literally lived his whole life in, and that I have lived in longer than any other space. In this process of moving, we’ve found ourselves in the process of demo and reconstruction. And because as you know, I love a metaphor, it’s given me a lot to think about and process through. And because I’ve been banned from the inside of the house as the real contractors do their thing and don’t need me in the way, I’ve been working in yard pretending to be a master gardener. So much beauty and metaphor have come out of this garden work, and I am honored to share it with you.

In this episode of Trailercast I get to sit down and talk to my good friend Brit Barron. Brit is an author, speaker, pastor, anti-racist educator and her first book Worth It is out now! Brit grew up in an Evangelical megachurch in the '90s, trying to fit neatly inside the boundaries her church and its narrow view of God had placed around her. She was boxed in by her fears, unable to realize her full potential. All that changed when she met a girl named Sami, fell in love, and chose to leave behind those narrow boundaries in favor of a fuller and more vibrant life. In Worth It, Brit tells her story to inspire all of us to overcome our own fears--the kinds of fears that keep us from evolving beyond the narratives that have been handed to us by others. We can't avoid or outrun these fears, but if we face them, we'll find out that it was so worth it. In this episode of Trailercast, you get to hear a sneak peak into Chapter 7, and listen in to us discuss the way that our lives intersected in such a way that brough
