The Wild Haul with Elise
Where feminine wisdom meet the wild truth of real life.
Through deeply personal storytelling, feminine wisdom, and grounded insight, Elise explores the wild terrain of womanhood: motherhood, marriage, betrayal, repair, healing, cycle awareness, spiritual hunger, embodiment, intuition, and the courage it takes to live more honestly inside your real life.
Here, we honor the initiations of women's lives and offer language for what is sacred, what is painful, what is changing, and what is asking to be reclaimed.
If you are in a season of unraveling, remembering, rebuilding, or becoming, this space will feel like truth spoken with warmth, depth, and reverence. The Wild Haul is where beauty meets grit, where feminine wisdom meets real-world responsibility, and where you come to hear the truth you can feel in your body.
Hosted by Elise Bowerman - raised to reach for homeopathy and natural medicine first, dancer, trained across multiple energetic modalities, birth and postpartum doula, perinatal yoga teacher, and the founder of Michigan’s first Registered Prenatal Yoga School. She is a mother of two teenagers and married to an entrepreneurial artist.

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.
