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.

9: For HER - reclaim your rhythm | moon cycle mapping
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is for HER.
✨ For the woman who senses there is more intelligence in her body than she has been taught.
✨ For the woman who was conditioned to dread her cycle.
✨ For the woman in perimenopause or menopause who was never given language for her power.
In this foundational teaching, you will walk through Cycle Mapping, a physiological and emotional framework for understanding your monthly infradian rhythm.
EXPLORE:
- The difference between circadian and infradian rhythms
- The Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Ovarian Axis explained simply
- Where estrogen and progesterone originate — and what they actually do
- Why ovulation matters for long-term mood, sleep, and vitality
- What shifts at menopause (and why it is redistribution, not decline)
- Your Four Inner Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
- How to read your bleed as sacred biofeedback
When you understand where hormones originate and what they are communicating, self-blame dissolves and biological literacy begins.
Cycle Mapping is not about control. It is about sovereignty.
Your body was never chaotic. It has always been rhythmic.
This episode is your invitation to remember.
