Send us a message!What if healing isn’t only about what we put into our bodies, but also what we’re carrying within us?In this powerful conversation, Amanda sits down with integrative health coach, educator, holistic nutritionist, and author Ellyn Hilliard McLeod to explore a journey that has shaped the way she views health, mindset, forgiveness, and love. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 28, Ellyn began questioning the path she had been given and searching for a different approach, leading her into the world of whole-food nutrition and, eventually, a career helping others navigate their own healing journeys.But as Ellyn began working with people facing cancer and other life threatening illnesses, she came to believe that nutrition was only one piece of a much bigger picture. From the role of forgiveness and emotional healing to the 12 principles of attitudinal healing, Ellyn shares the experiences that inspired her new book, It Takes More Than Carrot Juice. Together, Amanda and Ellyn explore what it means to listen to life’s nudges, let go of fear, reconnect with love, and recognize that sometimes the most profound transformation begins within.💡 In this episode, listeners will discover:🥕 How a Crohn’s disease diagnosis at 28 led Ellyn to completely rethink the way she approached food and health✨ The chance encounter in a bookstore that connected Ellyn with a nutritionist and changed the direction of her life🥬 Why Ellyn learned that an “organic” label doesn’t necessarily mean a food is whole or minimally processed❤️ How working with people facing cancer led Ellyn to explore the connection between mindset, forgiveness, emotional well-being, and healing🧠 The 12 principles of attitudinal healing and why Ellyn believes becoming a “love finder” instead of a “fault finder” can transform the way we experience life🙏 Why forgiveness became one of the most powerful themes Ellyn witnessed while supporting clients through serious illness📖 The moving client stories that inspired It Takes More Than Carrot Juice and Ellyn’s desire to preserve the legacies of the people she worked with🌿 How synchronicity, spirituality, and learning to listen to what Ellyn describes as the “divine call” have guided major decisions throughout her life✍️ The unexpected message that pushed Ellyn to return to a book manuscript she had set aside and why she ultimately escaped to the Costa Rican rainforest to finish it💭 Why Ellyn believes learning to love ourselves may change not only the way we see ourselves, but the way we show up for everyone around us⏰ Timeline Summary:05:00: Ellyn reflects on the spiritual experience she had as a child and the questions about love, life, and healing that stayed with her.09:00: Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 28 and the chance bookstore encounter with a nutritionist that completely changed the direction of Ellyn’s health journey.16:00: How losing loved ones to cancer inspired Ellyn to study holistic nutrition and eventually begin working with people facing serious illness.25:00: Why Ellyn came to believe healing involves more than nutrition and how working with cancer patients introduced her to the power of forgiveness and attitudinal healing.31:00: The 12 principles of attitudinal healing, from letting go of fear and judgment to becoming a “love finder rather than a fault finder.”39:00: The story behind It Takes More Than Carrot Juice, the clients who inspired the book, and the unexpected message that pushed Ellyn to finally finish it.46:00: Ellyn reflects on love, peace, legacy, and why she believes learning to love ourselves can transform the way we show up in the world. To Connect with Amanda:Schedule a 1:1 Virtual Breathwork Session HERE📸 Instagram: @thebreathinggoddessFollow & Support the Podcast:📱Instagram: @MandersMindset👥 Join the Manders Mindset Facebook Community HERE!To Connect with Ellyn:🌐 Website: www.sedonasolution.com 📚 Ellyn Book: It Takes More Than Carrot Juice🌱 Ellyn's Attitudinal Healing Support Group: Sundays at 5:00 PM in Sedona, with a Zoom option available through her website
