The Wild Haul with Elise
A slow-burn, no-tiptoe podcast where womanhood is held with depth and heat.
Hosted by Elise Bowerman - raised to reach for homeopathy and natural medicine first, dancer, trained across multiple energy modalities, birth and postpartum doula, and the founder of Michigan’s first Registered Prenatal Yoga School - this is where lived experience meets unapologetic truth. Elise is a mother to two teenagers and married to an entrepreneurial artist.
Each episode is guided by what’s real, what’s rising, and what can’t be ignored. Expect embodied wisdom and raw conversations that invite reflection into what your heart already knows: there is more available than what you’ve been told.
Rooted in the earth - and devoted to the finer things, too - "The Wild Haul with Elise" is for the woman who is done performing, ready to embrace her natural gifts, and willing to live differently.

This episode is a pause.
A return to discernment in a world obsessed with healing, self-growth, and “doing the work.”
Reflection is beautiful. Healing matters. And… not every healing space is actually "healing." Not every facilitator is embodied. Not every invitation is rooted in integrity.
In this episode, I speak directly to a growing concern in spiritual and personal-growth communities: when growth becomes synonymous with disruption — when people are encouraged to burn down their lives and call it healing.
The work is your real life.
Showing up day after day as your highest self — in partnership, in motherhood, in friendships, in work, in honest conversations and clean boundaries.
Not escapism. Not avoidance. Not dramatic exits without embodiment.
