Transformed by Grief with Ellie Thomas
Welcome to Transformed by Grief with Ellie Thomas. This podcast is for the spiritually-inclined human feeling challenged and shaken to their core by grief, loss, and circumstances they did not choose, wondering what will become of them, their life, and the big dreams and vision they have in their heart. Listen along as Ellie explores how the multi-dimensional moments of life that break you down (grief, loss, and lows of all kinds) can be your biggest catalyst to creating a deeply loving relationship with yourSelf and life, and to creating a truly vibrant life you love. Transformed by Grief is a declaration that says: YES, you can still live a beautiful, ALIVE feeling, and fulfilling life after tremendous losses and lows, and they way to unlock it all is to create a deep and reverent relationship with yourSelf, your grief and pain, and to allow your relationship with life to be rebuilt, piece by piece from the inside out. In each episode Ellie shares the deep wisdom, reflections and insights that have surfaced through her personal journey and in her work with clients to offer you support along your path as you embrace everything you're feeling and allow yourself to unravel so you can rebuild with heart and power. Through Ellieflow.com, Ellie offers Transformation Grief Work by blending Deep Transformational Coaching, meditation, emotional release, and energetics to help you activate a profound relationship with yourSelf and release the pain, grief, and limiting patterns that are keeping you from living a life you LOVE. She works with others 1:1 and in her membership, The Sanctuary, guiding them to open and reconnect to their vibrant Divine hearts, honor pain and grief as sacred teachers and experiences, and to discover soul resonant living and being.

In this episode I explore how to live the path of surrender without abandoning desire or Self, moving from upended expectations to a grounded practice of connecting with and honoring our deeper truth, while also processing emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations that are arising in the process.

• The medicine of the bare minimum and how pregnancy has forced a complete reorganizat...

I've been reflecting on how everything EllieFlow, all of my work and offerings, is born from the viewpoint that simply by engaging with life, and with all that it is bringing to the surface for us (emotions, thoughts, resistance, energies of fear, scarcity, grief, joy, gratitude, and more...), we engage in the process of organic transformation.
What I teach and guide here, in client sessions, and my programs, and in t...

Spring is here on the outside, but how are you feeling on the inside? Does your inner season line up with the outer season? Spring time is a dance of energies that move us forward, but that does happen without the surfacing of the fear, limiting beliefs, and limitations to be worked with and alchemized. In this episode, I explore the dueling, and non-linear energies of Emergence (the 3rd phase in the 5 Spheres of Transformation), o...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
