Episode 37: Sexual Healing Through Art w/Peyton Quinn Baker

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514860/fan_mail/new] The Heart of the Conversation:        In this episode of That’s Just Human, I sit down with Peyton Quinn Baker, a visionary artist and guide who helps others navigate the intersections of trauma, healing, and creative expression. We explore the profound journey of returning to the body, moving through the "erotic" flow of life, and using art as a vehicle for alchemy and self-discovery. The transmission we explore: * Art as Alchemy: How painting and creative expression can act as a bridge back to the body, allowing us to process and transform energy that words cannot reach. * The Erotic Body: Redefining eroticism not just as sexuality, but as the vital, life-force energy that moves through us when we are fully present and alive. * Navigating the "No": A vulnerable look at the seasons of life where we feel disconnected or "closed" to our own pleasure, and how to gently find our way back. * Somatic Reclamation: Moving beyond the intellectual understanding of healing and into the physical sensation of being "worthy" and "divine." * Receiving Good Things: The power of "lathering up" in self-worth and allowing yourself to be the recipient of beauty, pleasure, and abundance. An Invitation from Elisha "There are parts of our human journey that feel almost too spicy or too sacred to talk about, but Peyton brings them into the light with such grace and honesty. This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt a disconnect between their spirit and their physical skin. It’s a reminder that your body is not just a vessel for your pain, but a canvas for your pleasure and your power. If you’ve been waiting for permission to feel good again—to paint, to dance, to simply breathe in your own worth—this episode is your green light. Let’s marinate in the truth that you are worthy of receiving every good thing life has to offer."

Episode 36: The Messy Middle

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514860/fan_mail/new] The Heart of the Conversation:            In this solo episode of That’s Just Human, I dive into that often uncomfortable "void" that exists between who we used to be and the new version of ourselves that hasn't quite formed yet. I share how these transitions—whether sparked by healing, spiritual awakening, or shedding old identities—can feel messy, confusing, and even lonely as we grieve the only version of ourselves we’ve ever known. The transmission we explore: The Cocoon Phase: Understanding why we must become "undone" and move through a period of internal "goo" before we can emerge as a transformed version of ourselves. The Grief of Growth: Validating the sadness and friction that occur when old habits, safe patterns, and even friendships no longer resonate with our evolving frequency. Tools for the Unknown: Practical ways to regulate the nervous system and anchor into the present moment through journaling, qigong, breathwork, and sensory grounding. Setting Sacred Boundaries: Why the "messy middle" requires a soft shell of protection to conserve your energy and allow your transformation to happen undisturbed. The Power of "Not Yet": Shifting the perspective from "I am lost" to "I am incubating," and finding grace in the unknown. An Invitation from Elisha:      "If you find yourself in a space where things feel like they are rubbing the wrong way, or you’re wandering through a dark tunnel where you don't yet know where you are going, know that you are not failing. You are simply in the process of being remade. This journey of sloughing off old layers is hard, and it requires a tremendous amount of grace, but the version of you ready to emerge is going to feel so much lighter. I invite you to sit with me in this messiness and remember: you have to be smooshed like clay before you can become something truly beautiful."

Episode 35: Beyond The Dance Studio w/ Santina Rigano Lesch

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514860/fan_mail/new] The Heart of the Conversation:  In this episode, I sit down with Santina Rigano-Lesch, a lifelong dancer, educator, and the founder of the "Basic Bitch Boogie" movement app. We explore the profound journey of using dance not just as a performance art, but as a vital tool for nervous system regulation and processing trauma. Santina shares her transition from running an Australia-to-Seattle dance studio to creating a community-focused digital space where movement is used to reconnect with the body without the pressure of "perfection". The transmission we explore: * The Evolutionary Path of a Teacher: How external obstacles—like global shifts and local infrastructure changes—can force us into new, more aligned ways of sharing our gifts. * Somatic Release vs. Technical Dance: Understanding that the healing power of movement doesn't require "good" coordination; it’s about the frequency of the expression. * Holding Sacred Containers: The delicate balance of facilitating a community space while maintaining personal emotional boundaries. * The Grieving Process in Business: A candid look at the emotional weight of closing one chapter to make room for the next. * The Invitation from Elisha "We often think we need to be 'taught' how to move, but as Santina’s journey shows, our bodies already know the rhythms they need to heal. Whether it’s an ecstatic dance in a sacred container or a five-minute boogie in your living room, I invite you to find a way to stomp out the anger, dance through the sadness, and celebrate the joy that lives in your cells. Your movement is your own unique medicine. How can you let your body speak for you today?"

Episode #34:The Village Witch, Death Threats, & Tarot w/Azure West

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514860/fan_mail/new] The Heart of the Conversation In this episode of That’s Just Human, Elisha is joined by her long-time best friend, intuitive tarot reader, and practicing witch, Azure West. Together, they explore the realities of practicing witchcraft in a small modern town, navigating deep-seated religious misconceptions, and learning how to step out of fear to live an authentic, judgment-free life. The transmission we explore: * Persecution in the Modern Day: Azure opens up about facing intense town drama and four distinct death threats after establishing her East Texas tarot studio, Cato Moon. * Breaking Misconceptions: A candid look at the lingering remnants of the 1980s "satanic panic" , Hollywood stereotypes , and how true witchcraft and spellwork focus on internal alignment and love rather than manipulation. * Unexpected Alliances: How sharing her experiences openly broke down her own assumptions when devout local women reached out privately to offer support and protection. * De-escalation and Ethics: Drawing on 30 years of reading experience to safely navigate intense, inebriated, or volatile situations in a public shop space. * The Power of Knowledge: Why deep study across diverse world religions serves as the ultimate tool to dispel fear and confidently face prejudice. An Invitation from Elisha "We so often hide the most authentic pieces of who we are out of fear of what the collective might think, but Azure’s journey shows us what happens when we choose to stop crouching. If you have ever felt judged for your unique path, or if you've struggled to find safety in environments that don't match your frequency, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience. I invite you to listen and explore how shifting away from your inner critic can give you the courage to stand unshakeably in your own light."

Episode 33: Self-Love, Addiction, & inner Power w/Whitney Walker

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514860/fan_mail/new] The Heart of the Conversation In this episode, I sit down with Whitney Walker, host of the Women Waken podcast and a dedicated guide for self-discovery. We explore the profound journey of moving from the shadow of addiction and unlovability into the light of unconditional self-acceptance. Whitney shares her personal evolution through bulimia and substance abuse, revealing how these struggles were actually misplaced searches for the love she eventually found within herself. The transmission we explore: * Addiction as a Mirror: Understanding how external dependencies are often "placeholder" attempts to fill an internal void of worthiness. * The Sovereignty of the Self: A deep dive into the age of the "trailblazer," where we stop looking for external permission and start trusting our own inner brilliance. * The Power of the Divine Feminine: How stepping into one’s own femininity and unique perspective allows for a more expansive and less "black and white" approach to life. * Rewriting the Internal Narrative: Practical insights on maintaining self-love even when old patterns of negative self-talk attempt to resurface. * The Wisdom of the Experiencer: How our personal struggles qualify us to be guides for others, transforming our "crappy situations" into medicine for the world.
