In this episode, I interview Eleanor, a graduate of the Holistic Career Change Group Program who's made a pivot from non-profit work to becoming a guide for mothers and caretakers.

We discuss:

  • how Eleanor first came into the program with lots of interests: from a jewelry business to returning back to non-profit work
  • how overworking and overcommitting to pursue misaligned goals left El burnt out and disconnected from their body. It took a traumatic childbirth experience to force them to reevaluate their choices
  • financial scarcity and how it impacted Eleanor's life and career choices
  • transition into motherhood and how mothers are STILL a very underserved and under-resourced community
  • the pre-butterfly "goo phase" that is so tough to endure yet so necessary in order to complete the transformation required to embrace an aligned path
  • Eleanor's experience in the group program - deep friendships,  support and clarity she found as a result of doing the work & showing up for the process and themselves.


ABOUT ELEANOR
El Fort (she/they) serves as a guide for female-bodied (women and non-binary) folks on their unique healing journeys, with a particular focus on new and soon-to-be mothers and caretakers. El combines over 20 years of leadership, training, coaching, and facilitation skills in the professional world with their own experience over the last few years of healing from chronic stress, burnout, and overwhelm. 
El believes the heart of healing is nervous system regulation. They use evidence-based practices that back up ancient wisdom with a sprinkle of mysticism. They work with people holistically to connect with their own self-worth, self-trust, and self-compassion. Through mindfulness, movement, breath and belief work, clients find peace, balance, harmony and joy to live their most authentic, fulfilled, badass life.
