Episode 4: Energy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2449388/fan_mail/new] In this deeply personal episode of Tales of Awakening, Elise shares two powerful dreams that uncovered a profound message about creativity, self-expression, and reclaiming personal energy. From mysterious pink capital letters spelling “ENERGY,” to a rockstar-like figure embodying unapologetic creative force, to standing at the top of a long country road facing rows of police cars, this episode explores what happens when we stop policing our own light. Through storytelling, symbolism, and reflection, Elise unpacks themes of: • Creative awakening • Energetic sovereignty • Self-expression without permission • Outgrowing old systems and expectations • The tension between softness and power This is an episode for anyone who has ever dimmed themselves to fit in, softened their truth to be accepted, or felt the call to rise into a bolder, more authentic version of themselves. Sometimes awakening doesn’t arrive quietly. Sometimes it arrives as a dream that refuses to let you look away.

Episode 3 Tales Of Awakening, Logos

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2449388/fan_mail/new] Some awakenings don't arrive with lightening.  They arrive as a quiet knowing in the body. A tightening, a softening, a sense that there's more happening beneath the surface than we were ever taught to name. This episode explores the subtle body, energetic anatomy and the ancient idea of logos, the intelligence that brings meaning into form, spoken of by thinkers like Aristole. This isn't about belief systems. It's about listening. To how the body holds stories. To how energy moves when truth lands. To how awakening often feels less like becoming someone new, and more like remembering who you've always been.
