The Wild Haul with Elise
Where feminine wisdom meet the wild truth of real life.
Through deeply personal storytelling, feminine wisdom, and grounded insight, Elise explores the wild terrain of womanhood: motherhood, marriage, betrayal, repair, healing, cycle awareness, spiritual hunger, embodiment, intuition, and the courage it takes to live more honestly inside your real life.
Here, we honor the initiations of women's lives and offer language for what is sacred, what is painful, what is changing, and what is asking to be reclaimed.
If you are in a season of unraveling, remembering, rebuilding, or becoming, this space will feel like truth spoken with warmth, depth, and reverence. The Wild Haul is where beauty meets grit, where feminine wisdom meets real-world responsibility, and where you come to hear the truth you can feel in your body.
Hosted by Elise Bowerman - raised to reach for homeopathy and natural medicine first, dancer, trained across multiple energetic modalities, birth and postpartum doula, perinatal yoga teacher, and the founder of Michigan’s first Registered Prenatal Yoga School. She is a mother of two teenagers and married to an entrepreneurial artist.
