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.

6: Remembering Friday the 13th
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Friday the 13th has long been framed as unlucky, sinister, or something to avoid. But that story is relatively new.
In this episode, Elise explores what Friday the 13th once represented for thousands of years - a sacred feminine day rooted in lunar cycles, women’s bodies, and ancient goddess traditions. Before patriarchal religion and modern medicine reshaped cultural narratives, the number 13 marked rhythm, fertility, intuition, and renewal.
This episode is not about superstition.
It’s about remembrance.
A reflection on how fear replaced reverence - and why the sacred feminine is rising again through curiosity, embodiment, and a return to rhythm.
For an embodied remembering - listen to the next episode (7: ) on our three Friday the 13th's in 2026: February, March, November.
