Hey Merci Co Living Project ๐ ๐ซถ๐
We are so blessed to live here.
On this Earth and specifically here in South Australia.
The light at the beach this morning was magical.
The fleeting moon was iridescent.
We stood in reflection & gratitude as the day dawned.
Then it was ocean time.
(I was mourning no getting in the water cos I'm listening to my body ๐)
But 3 got in and it looked like great fun. ๐๐๐
Coffee & Anzac biscuits to follow.
Chat, connection, friendly visitors.
It was just perfect.

Hey Hey, happy podcast day.
Why do I bang on about doing inner work?
I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some reasons to encourage you to either start, deepen or continue your inner self work.
There is a two fold process โ mindset management and emotional embodiment. I had the mindset work down pat for a long time but was repressing and ignoring my emotional baggage, my sh*tbricks, with many distractions. Our unconscious mind is our body and itโs where our emotions are stored. When we repress emotions over and over, the body becomes overwhelmed and communicates this by disfunction and disease. So itโs great to be mindset strong and be able to intellectualise an experience but you need the balancing side of emotional awareness.
Reasons to commit to inner Self work.
- Allows you to move forward out of stuckness
- Helps you remove emotional and mental blocks connected to trauma
- Allows you to feel lighter as you unpack your sh*tbrick backpack
- Helps you clear your lens so your life experience with higher energy
- Fosters a more loving relationship Self
Promotes
- Self awareness
- Calm & Peace
- Macro/Universal perspective
- Self understanding
- Self acceptance
- Empowerment
In the episode I expand so much more on these so take a listen today. Check out the link in my bio.
And if youโd like help dipping your toe and committing to work on your Self, let me help and guide you. Send me a DM.

This weekโs episode is a bit different. It follows up on the episode from 2 weeks ago called, โWhy Itโs Vital That You Start Unlocking The Padlocks On Your Sh*tbrick Backpack.โ If you havenโt listened to it yet, then Iโd encourage you to do so before you immerse yourself into this one.
Listen to this episode in a quiet, distraction free location, itโs definitely not suitable for when you are driving, walking or doing anything else active.
I will guide you through a hypnotic journey to help you unpack and release the sh*tbricks that you have been lugging around in your backpack. Itโs key that you allow your imagination to direct you and to follow the suggestions I make. This is not logical, itโs magical.
Hypnosis is a powerful tool to access your unconscious mind to help you release repressed emotions, memories or beliefs that are arising when you least expect it. If you have an emotional reaction to an experience, the trigger is current but the emotion likely originated from your early childhood. Consciously trying to eradicate the trigger wonโt work, itโs like pushing down a middle domino in a domino run and expecting all the dominoes to fall. You need to push over domino #1.
I hope you find the meditation helpful. Keep a journal handy so you can record any information or ideas after you have finished.

Trauma Comparison - Not Sharing Your Story
Sharing your story builds connection.
It brings your voice to the world.
It offers up your vulnerability which may inspire others to do the same.
It builds confidence.
Your story matters, truly.
So please donโt get in the mindset of comparing your story or trauma to others.
Every trauma is valid and unique.
And every single story is valid and worthy of sharing.
So take a deep breath, find a place where you feel safe or safe-ish, and share yours.
I want to hear it and others will too.
And afterwards you can be proud that you took the opportunity.
Want to hear more?
Check out the latest pod ep from Eleanor Crawford Unplugged, its all about Trauma Comparison.

Hello there my loveโฆIโve got a question for you.
Have you ever felt sad, fearful, angry, heartbroken or similar and you felt like you couldnโt share your state because othersโ trauma is โcomparativelyโ, well more traumatic?
I hear you.
To be honest, Iโve been on both sides of this situation.
I have repressed emotions when Iโve been with people who have suffered great losses.
And others have apologised for sharing emotions with me once they realise that Iโve lost my Chloe.
It's kinda f*cked up to be blunt.
Iโm all for sharing vulnerability, in fact itโs vital for emotional health.
And losing a child is, I think, every parentโs worst nightmare. But there are others who have greater losses, multiple deaths and traumas.
Itโs not a competition.
Every personโs story and emotional experience is valid.
But Trauma Comparison is a thing and I witness it all the time, which is why I was compelled to record this episode about it.
Take a listen and hear my take on the topic. You'll find the link in my bio.
And remember this, another personโs response is not your responsibility. And if their response is sh*tty, then thatโs a reflection on them, not you.
So please please please, share your stories, your emotions and your traumas with the people you want to.
Be compassionate.
Be kind.
And live your life through the lens of love.
Speaking of which....could you dig into your beautiful heart and donate a few dollars to Catherine House please? They do amazing work helping end homelessness for women throughout South Australia. As a Community Ambassador, itโs my purpose to raise awareness and funds to support them. There was a 45% increase in enquiries for help over the last year given the rise in our cost of living and the current rental squeeze, so every dollar helps.
If you can, please donate to help another woman in need check out my bio for the link.
Be kind.
Be vulnerable.
Be compassionate.

This week is all about unlocking the padlocks, unzipping the backpack and dealing with the sh*tbricks that we carry around with us. Which is vital to your emotional, mental and physical health.
To refresh your memory, sh*tbricks are the very apt name I give to emotions that we swallow down and repress. They simmer and steam away while weโre distracted by the outside world, while we self soothe with behaviours that feel good in the moment but that in the long run only delay the inevitable. These behaviours include binge drinking and eating, drug use, shopping, sex/lust or bandaid boyfriends and many more.
They give us the good feeling, the invincible feeling, in the moment but all they are really doing is eroding our sense of worthiness causing us to be prone to people pleasing, both a symptom and driver of unworthiness.
Learning how to implement boundaries is a key solution to people pleasing but the unworthiness will still be lurking in your sh*tbrick backpacks, one of the stinkiest and steamiest sh*tbricks you will carry.
So check out this episode to see how you can gently and kindly start unpacking and dealing with the weight that you carry around. I hope you will find this episode valuable.
You can listen to my podcast on Apple or Spotify.

Iโm coming up to an anniversary of sorts. This time 2 years ago I was grappling with a big decision, the decision whether I leave or stay in my third marriage.
It had been bubbling around for almost a year. Should I? Could I? How would I be perceived? How would it be received? Would I be a failure? Again?
ALL THE THINGS.
I didnโt know the answer to any of that.
But what I did know was that I was feeling unhappy, unfulfilled and despite doing some deep work on myself, I couldnโt see how that was going to change.
So I chose me.
What I did do before I made this decision was to ensure that I felt safe when doing so. Here are the steps I took that I want to share with you here and in the episode.
1. Remember that you are the boss of you. ๐
2. Take your time, be patient with yourself and listen to your heart and gut.
3. Surround yourself with supportive, trustworthy and non-judgemental people, people who will be your soft place to fall.
4. If they are in short supply, lean on a confidante, therapist, mentor or coach.
5. Journal the crap out of your decision & tune into your feelings.
6. Ensure you are physically safe by getting legal advice or police support.
7. Use your imagination. Envisage your life post decision, how that would feel.
8. TRUST YOURSELF.
You deserve true happiness, fulfillment, joy and to feel safe.
Youโve got this honey.

Surrender, Trust & then Act are my go to strategies when a challenging situation arises.
Surrender to the emotion. Shift that energy but moving, crying, yelling, writing, talking or whatever suits you
Trust yourself and life knowing that everything is rigged to work out in your favour.
And Act, do something, anything. The smallest action can bring the biggest changes.
You've got this my love

Hello friends
Our Christmas Experience is Unique to us and How Forgiveness Can Set You Free podcast is live. Follow the link in the comments...
I am always amazed at how tangentially I tell stories, one morphing into another. ๐
So during the first half of the episode I share my Christmas experience and why grief is beautiful, sad, beautiful, sad, beautiful, sad.
Every single human has a unique experience everyday and Christmas is no exception. Mine definitely brings up some very big feelings and memories.
Beautiful, sad, beautiful, sad, beautiful, sad.
And then my thoughts turned to being kind to self and others and then onto forgiveness. Sounds natural doesnโt it? ๐ค๐ป
I hope you enjoy the episode, itโs definitely raw and honest.
And take care of your heart, mind and body over Christmas.

It Took Me & Jane Fonda 50 Years to Return to Our Bodies
It Took Me & Jane Fonda 50 Years to Return to Our Bodies
***Trigger warning. Sexual assault & suicide are referenced in this episode.
Last Friday a friend of mine recommended a podcast episode featuring Jane Fonda. She was a guest on the podcast, We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon, Abby & Amanda. Iโve now listened to that episode 3 times. It was so close to my heart and helped me understand my relationship with my body to a deeper level.
Jane, who is turning 85 in a couple of weeks, was so honest and transparent as she talked about the suicide of her mother, experiencing sexual assault as a child and especially how it all affected her relationships.
I felt like she had opened her mouth and told my story and it brought me so much peace. To better understand the relationship I have with my body feels good, it feels clearer and it feels more empowering.
Jane and I spent 50 years disconnected from our beautiful bodies, and it sucked. I am still working on being in my body and less in my mind, but its definitely a work in progress. I donโt want that for you. Start an embodiment practice for yourself. Your body has all the answers.
Enjoy the episode ๐ Link in comments
Living Life Through the Lens of Love ๐
*** Trigger Warning ***
In this episode of Eleanor Crawford Unplugged, I talk about the impact that hearing about a suicide by a young & vibrant woman had on me.
I had never met her yet her death stopped me in my tracks.
She was beautiful, sparkly and plagued by both internal and external demons.
This prompted me to talk about our own unique lens and how we project & experience our lives through that lens.
What's on your lens?
Are you even aware of it?
Once you can take a step back and assess what is on your lens, it gives you so much more clarity and awareness around your behaviours, emotions and thinking patterns.
Take a listen to this week's ep of Eleanor Crawford Unplugged to hear more.

It all began 28 years ago when I was 28... those numbers aren't lost on me.
I've always believed that our lives unfold in 7 year intervals and adulthood kinda, really starts at 28.
And this declaration at the age of 28 that I don't really like myself was the start of my love affair (bit on & off to be fair) with personal development.
I had just had the most terrifying experience of my life and thought I was permanently on the other side. That's wasn't the case. ๐
I asked for guidance and was brought The Seat of Soul by Gary Zukav.
Reading this was revolutionary.
Earth school. ๐ฅ
What a gamechanger for me.
The revolutions and revelations continue still as my more committed relationship with personal development deepens.
I am re-listening to The Surrender Experiment with fresh ears which prompted me to record this podcast episode.
Let's Talk About Control V Surrender, Baby.

I love a good hot chip! ๐
Not fries, hot chips.
However in my GitB call this morning with the delightful @jaykimber I was prompted to ask myself, 'What do I know that's good for me right now?'
And as much as my body was prepared to drive to the chip shop, my soul reminded me that I love hot sweet potato chips too and could make them for free.
Listening to your soul whispers and then following her idea brings up resistance.
We are so habitually wired to do what's familiar that listening and doing something new is challenging.
But she never ever lies to you. Always leading you to the best outcome. ๐
Do you follow your soul whispers? ๐
Now to enjoy my sweet potato chips. ๐ฅฐ๐

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you will know that I have just returned from a week-long advanced retreat with Dr Joe Dispenza.
I experienced and energetic upgrade!
In this episode, # 2 of the Life Creation Series, I share my experience and then explain why manifesting your emotions is the foundation for creating the life you truly desire.
You cannot manifest abundance & wealth from a state of lack & scarcity.
You cannot manifest true love from a state of fear & unworthiness.
It starts with your emotions because like attracts like.
Check out this episode on your fave podcast platform.
And as much as I would adore having Dr Joe as a guest on my pod (just putting it out there in the field ๐ซ) he's not, yet. This ep relates to my experience of hanging in the same room with the man for a week.
