Some seasons require grit. Others require release.
In this episode, Elise shares a raw, real-time reflection on what it means to choose the path of least resistance—not as avoidance, but as a return to inner peace. When life hands you a reality you can’t control, surrender can become a form of strength: the moment you stop fighting what is, your body can finally exhale.
This is an episode about nervous system truth, the private life we can’t outrun, and the strange mix of grief and relief that can arrive in the same breath. If you’ve been freestyling—pushing, forcing, trying to hold it all together—this might be your invitation into “backstroke season”: belly up, eyes to the sky, trusting you’ll reach shore.
A gentle note: this episode includes discussion of divorce and emotional overwhelm.
