Embracing All the Parts of You with Elisa Sterling-Cowan

In this episode, you will hear the journey that Elisa went through with her son. As a black woman of mixed race who is married to a Caucasian man with red hair, her son had a very unique look. Her son dealt with not being “black enough” and yet not quite “white enough” because of his light completion. As his hair grew even more and he got older, he began to recognize how “different” he looked. In his family and culture, he was being celebrated, but in school, he started being bullied.

We talk about how he stopped being radiant, and became depressed, and started acting out to try to fit in and cope. The school system didn’t help or support Elisa, so she had to take him out and home school. By the age 11 he had anxiety, PTSD, and felt suicidal. So her journey began to restore the mental health of her precious son. She used all the tools she learned in her wellness/coaching training and got him amazing support.

Today, his compassion has returned, he’s more playful, and he’s working on recovering from what he experienced. This is a conversation of race, skin color and pride in one’s heritage as a multi-ethnic person.

Elisa Sterling-Cowan is a mother, wife, woman of faith, an adventurer and clue finder, and a spiritual being in the grit of her human journey and adventure.

Elisa is a writer, artist, health and wellness advocate and coach, and resonator of love currently in Alberta, Canada. Over the last 20+ years in particular, she has journeyed a path she never expected... multiple autoimmune diagnoses, MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity), NDEs (Near Death Experiences), AND on a healing and wholeness journey that she desires to share the fruits of with others going down similar paths or looking for ways to live life with more fullness.
