Maddie Elysse I help powerful women come back into their bodies, honour their true capacity, and show up steady and strong in their real lives.

My work blends nervous system science, somatic practice, intuitive development, and grounded spiritual leadership. Self-Trust Mentor ~ Somatic Guide

I am on a mission to spread a culture of self-responsibility. My path wove through yoga, meditation, energy work, and somatics — and what I learned is this: Awareness doesn’t change you, Embodiment does. Today, I help powerful women come back into their bodies, honour their true capacity, and show up steady and strong in their real lives. I believe in breath before reaction, intentionality, and emotional honesty. I look for the beauty in simple things, and opportunities to rise together — not through force, but through presence and exchange. I love nature, coffee, quiet mornings, soulful conversation, and spaces where women get to be powerful without performing. I'm so glad you're here and I look forward to practicing together.

It has taken me years to pause (and feel safe).

To stop thinking about what’s next.
To stay present with myself long enough to understand why I was collapsing.
To trust that whatever came up, I could meet it.

To feel the overwhelm without hiding.
To let the tears of grief fall
and still meet the next moment with laughter.

This year, I’m having a calm-hearted, present Christmas.

If I feel overwhelmed, I let it move through.
If I need space, I take it.
If I want connection, I lean in.
If I want rest, I don’t negotiate with myself.

I don’t force joy.
I don’t manage my emotions.
I don’t brace for what might happen next.

I stay here.

This is what self-trust looks like for me now —
not control,
not performance,
just presence.

And it turns out, this is where the peace lives.

Even with families we love, this week is....a lot.

You're juggling family dynamics, old patterns, memories, too much noise —then you try to practice an affirmation as you feel triggered but your a**hole is still clenched and it's time to put your app out and you're like WTF this is not working.
And your body's like:
“No s**t. I need an actual moment, not a mantra.”

Your nervous system doesn’t learn safety from words — it learns from felt experience:
👉 Stepping away for two minutes when everything feels too loud.
👉 Taking three slow exhales before you respond.
👉 Feeling your body, taking a break from your thoughts.
👉 Letting a “no” be a clean “no”.

Tiny, honest moments your body recognizes as support.
An opportunity for you to come back to yourself.

You don’t need flawless regulation this week. You just need to stay in relationship with yourself — one grounded moment at a time.

That’s what builds safety — not the pep talk.
THIS is embodied self-leadership.

This week can pull you in a hundred different directions — family, expectations, emotions you didn’t plan on, routines that disappear overnight.

It’s easy to think you need to wait until life settles before you choose yourself again.

But expansion has never waited for perfect timing.

It happens in the small, quiet moments where you notice yourself starting to negotiate with your fear —

“Maybe I’ll deal with this later,”

“Maybe next week,”

“Maybe in January…”

and you pause long enough to ask:

Is this truth… or hesitation?

Expansion isn’t about big leaps.

It’s about the woman who stops bargaining with the part of her that’s scared to change.

Even during the holidays.

Even when things feel messy.

Even when your nervous system is louder than usual.

Self-trust is built right here — in the imperfect seasons...where choosing yourself is less convenient but far more honest.

You don’t have to push.

You don’t have to force.

You just have to stop abandoning the moments where you already know what you want.

This is where expansion begins: not in January — in presence.

If Safe & Wild has been on your mind, here’s your moment to check in with yourself.

Not from pressure.

Not from urgency.

Just honesty.

Doors close Jan 1.

Price is $66.75/month.

This space is for the woman who’s ready to stop circling her intentions and start building the self-trust she keeps saying she wants.

If it’s a yes, you already feel the pull toward change.

If you’re unsure, ask your questions — clarity matters.

If it’s not your season, honor that without guilt.

The only thing I won’t encourage is postponing the truth you already know.

Self-trust grows in the moments where you choose with presence, not perfection.

If you need clarity, I’m here.

If you’re ready, the door is open.

This isn’t therapy. It’s the room where you stop outsourcing your decisions.

Not because therapy is wrong or less — but because this room holds a different purpose.

This is the space where you practice listening to yourself again.

Where you stop drifting outside your body when things get uncomfortable.

Where you learn to recognize the difference between fear and truth.

Where your decisions start coming from a regulated place instead of a reactive one.

This is the room where:

👉 your patterns become visible

👉 your awareness deepens into choice

👉 your self-trust gets rebuilt from the inside out

👉 you take responsibility without collapsing

👉 you let yourself be seen without performing

It’s not about being “fixed.”

It’s not about being told what to do.

It’s not about becoming the perfect version of yourself.

It’s about remembering that you can lead yourself — and practicing that leadership in real time, with women who are learning the same thing.

This room isn’t here to replace anything.

It’s here to bring you back to the part of you that already knows the way.

DOORS ARE CLOSING JAN 1 FOR 60 DAYS.

You can’t just “stop.”
You live in a real world with real responsibilities, real expectations, real people relying on you.

That’s not failure — it’s life.

But here’s what you can do:
You can check in.
You can pause.
You can stop performing consistency when your body is clearly asking for stillness.

Before you shame yourself for being “lazy,” ask the real question: Am I avoiding…or am I just tired?

Those are not the same thing.

Your energy comes in waves.
Your capacity fluctuates.
Your nervous system has seasons.

None of that makes you weak or irresponsible — it makes you human.

And here’s the part no one teaches you:

When you trust yourself, you know the difference.

You know when you actually need a break — and when you’re procrastinating.

You know when your system is depleted — and when you’re avoiding discomfort.

You know when it’s true laziness — and when it’s simply fatigue.

Self-trust creates discernment.
Discernment creates ease.
Ease creates capacity.

Instead of defaulting to guilt, try this: “Don’t worry, girl. You can rest.”

Not because you’ve earned it, but because your body is speaking and you’re finally listening.

Softening isn’t quitting.
Softening is responding.

And this shift — shame → awareness → embodiment — is exactly what we practice inside Safe & Wild.

Let me put this in perspective...
If a friend postponed on you as often as you postpone on yourself…

you’d stop trusting her.

But you do this to YOU every time you wait for the “right moment,” every time you stall, every time you delay a decision you already feel pulled toward.

This isn’t about the membership.

It’s about the pattern.

Self-trust can’t grow if you keep standing yourself up.

You can’t build a life you’re proud of if you treat yourself like someone you can flake on.

If you’re a “no,” make it a clean no.

If you’re a “yes,” stop waiting for perfect alignment.

Either way — show up for yourself the way you expect others to.

Your seat awaits.

Let’s be honest: It’s annoying to “work on yourself” all the time.

There’s no finish line.

No certificate of completion.

No moment where you can finally say, “Okay, I’ve arrived.”

So why keep going?

Because some people are here to MAINTAIN.
We’re here to TRANSFORM.

Yes — you need balance, joy, ease, play.
Yes — you deserve to step out of the shadows and breathe.

But the women who feel drawn into their own darkness aren’t doing it because they’re broken or dramatic.

They’re doing it because they can’t unsee themselves anymore.

My sisters and I laugh sometimes that life would be so much easier if we could stay unaware — float through the world like nothing touches us, never interrogate our patterns, never meet our shadows.

But that’s not who we are.

Maybe it’s lived experience.

Maybe it’s destiny.

Maybe it’s multiple lifetimes of choosing depth.

Maybe it’s simply that pain hits different when you know you can alchemize it.

What I do know is this:
Self-improvement isn’t a punishment.
It isn’t perfectionism.
It isn’t ego.

It’s devotion — to growth, to truth, to becoming the woman your life keeps asking you to be.

I feel most alive when I can say, “I’m not who I was last year.”

That’s the point.

Not to arrive —

but to expand.

Some people are here to maintain.
We’re here to transform.

Let’s stop pretending grounding is an aesthetic.
It’s not the soft sweater, the warm mug, or the curated moment.

Grounding is a physiological reset.

It’s the moment your awareness drops out of thought and into sensation — your feet, your weight, your breath, your actual body.

Most people try to “feel calmer” without ever entering themselves.
Then they wonder why nothing changes.

Grounding isn’t a vibe.
It’s a shift in your nervous system from threat → presence.

If you want clarity, sovereignty, and capacity, start with sensation, not performance.

If you need a safer space to get into your body again - Safe & Wild is open for you.

Just say yes and I'll send you the details 👇

My best leadership quality: I see misalignment faster than you can rationalize it — and I won’t let you pretend you don’t see it too.

Most women don’t need another journal prompt.

They need someone who can point to the exact place they’re abandoning themselves and refuse to let them collapse around it.

That’s what I do.

I won’t rescue you.

I won’t soften the edges to keep you comfortable.

I won’t let you hide behind “I’m still figuring it out.”

I’ll hold you capable.

I’ll mirror the pattern you’re avoiding.

And I’ll ask the question that makes your truth impossible to dodge.

Because embodiment isn’t a vibe — it’s self-responsibility in motion.

And the moment you stop negotiating with your misalignment, your entire identity shifts.

This is the backbone of every room I lead.

What We’re Actually Closing Inside This Room 👇👇

There’s always a gap between INTENTION and ACTION.

Every woman feels it.

Every woman thinks she’s the only one struggling with it.

I felt it too — the space where I’d say I wanted something, feel the spark, make the plan… and then the fear, shame, or pressure would creep in and I’d slip back into old patterns.

Inside Safe & Wild, we don’t pretend that gap disappears.

WE PRACTICE NAVIGATING IT.

This is where we build self-trust in real time — not by performing, not by getting it “right,” but by learning how to lead ourselves through the exact moment we normally collapse.

Here, you get:

– accountability without shame

– women who actually show up for themselves

– support in the moment your ego tries to pull you off your path

– space to feel the wobble without making it mean you’ve failed

Because the gap isn’t a flaw.

It’s the place where your next level lives.

We’re not closing it through pressure or perfection — we’re closing it by strengthening the muscle of self-trust, one real, honest, embodied decision at a time.

If you’re ready to stop circling your intentions and actually follow through — this is where you learn how.

It's time to act on your 'yes' to this. Join the other women in the room who have already trusted their yes.
LFG 🔥🔥
