Earth Tones Podcast
Earth Tones is a soulful podcast rooted in four pillars: survival, passion, service, and love. Born from personal experience, spiritual devotion, and huge heart for humanity, this show explores the sacred intersections of faith, culture, healing, empowerment, and human connection.
Through raw storytelling, spiritual reflection, and conversations that matter, host Ella- a single mama, creative, solo traveler, and once, non profit founder- invites you into the journeying that shapes each of us. From her time working with refugees in Syria and Afghanistan to the quiet revelations that come through motherhood, each episode offers perspective, purpose, and permission to keep growing.
Whether you’re rebuilding, reimagining, or reaching for more- this space is for you. For the ones yearning for closer connections to each other or to God. Earth Tones is a return to what is real- a rhythm, a remembering, a quiet rebellion against a world that tells you to stay surface- level. Here, we go deeper.

Episode 19: The Death of Perfect Wives and the Rebirth of Embodied Women- with Holistic Healer Kyra Monroe
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Kyra to explore the journey from repression and perfectionism to authenticity, accountability, and emotional freedom. Together, we talk about the pressure to perform as the “perfect wife,” the hidden impact of childhood trauma, the chronic anxiety that comes from abandoning yourself, and the unraveling that happens when truth rises faster than we’re ready for.
Kyra shares the collapse of her former identity, the public fallout that forced a deeper awakening, and the shift from victimhood to radical responsibility. Our conversation reframes narcissism as a trauma response rather than an identity, examines why empaths often call in partners who mirror early wounds, and highlights the healing that becomes possible when boundaries, integrity, and self-worth take the lead.
This episode is for anyone who has ever lived someone else’s script, felt trapped in cycles they didn’t understand, or reached a point where choosing themselves became the only way forward.
