How to Listen for What’s Next After a Season of Shedding

In this week’s episode, we explore the quieter, often uncomfortable space that opens up after a big season of releasing, completing, or letting go.If you’ve recently moved through a transition — whether emotional, creative, relational, or spiritual — you might be finding yourself in the tender stretch between “what was” and “what’s next.” This episode is a gentle, grounded conversation about: * What it really feels like to be in the liminal space * How to start listening for the subtle signs of your next season * What to do when you want to move forward but the path isn’t revealed yet * The small, simple practices that help you reestablish inner trust after periods of change It’s an invitation to soften and reconnect with the quiet knowing that’s already forming underneath the surface — even if you can’t name it yet. ✨ A Gentle Transition Into Visioning Your Next Chapter If this conversation meets you right where you are… if you’re feeling the stirrings of something new and want support turning that intuition into grounded clarity — then my New Year’s planning course, Vision Casting, might be the perfect next step.

Ep 1: When Growth Doesn’t Look Like Progress

Sometimes growth doesn’t feel expansive. Sometimes it feels like release, confusion, or even standing still. In this opening episode, Elyse returns to the mic after a two-year pause to reflect on what it means to trust the process when your evolution doesn’t look the way you expected.She shares lessons from her own creative and spiritual journey, seasons of shedding and quiet rebuilding and explores how to stay connected to your purpose even when things feel uncertain. You’ll hear reflections on:✨ Surrendering perfectionism and control✨ Letting your business evolve through feedback and iteration✨ Listening to your body and intuition for direction✨ Strengthening your roots to be able to weather uncertainty and change At the end, Elyse offers three reflection prompts, your Next Level Nudge, to help you reflect on the episode and root deeper into your own process. Reflection Prompts: * What practices support you in strengthening your connection to yourself and your roots? * What might you be framing as a regression or failure that’s actually full of wisdom? * How could you integrate this wisdom and pass it on? * Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and remember, sometimes the quietest seasons are the ones doing the deepest work.Mentioned In the Episode: * Spirits Come from Water [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/spirits-come-from-water-an-introduction-to-ancestral-veneration-and-reclaiming-african-spiritual-practices_ehime-ora/52269082/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_dsa_general_customer_acquisition_LCE_281491947103826&utm_adgroup=&utm_term=&utm_content=593772052204&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23229609071&gbraid=0AAAAADwY45ie--k2_ihtR4gPlkSrzBVII&gclid=CjwKCAiA2svIBhB-EiwARWDPjuZVKI0mJcFYWvTV2XuPFdtLtr3a83OA31XuJamv1XOxbdajmynSTBoC4XYQAvD_BwE#edition=70926267&idiq=63380919] By Ehime Ora * Business Witchery [https://businesswitchery.com/] w/ Rachael Maddox * Somatic Experiencing [https://www.thefullcirclehealing.com/]w/ Olivia Klein✨ Learn more about upcoming offerings at elysepreston.com [https://elysepreston.com]🌀 Vision Casting 2026 [https://bemoreconnected.myflodesk.com/visioncasting2026] is open for enrollment today!
