  Available on your favourite podcast app.Elloa Atkinson is a certified life-changing coach, a spiritual teacher, and a student of A Course in Miracles. I'm fascinated by A Course in Miracles as so many of the teachers I admire share its lessons, including Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Gabby Bernstein, and Robert Holden. This year I decided I was going to become a student of the course and for the first 40 days I did, I studied the lessons and worked through the workbook but something just wasn't jiving. I struggled to relate to the tone of voice and for now I've set the text aside. However, the insights Elloa offers in this interview have really opened me back up to studying the course and have given me so many entry points for doing so in a way that works for me. We also dive deep into her personal journey recovering from shame, building a solid sense of self, the power of being vulnerable, and taking radical responsibility for our lives.In this episode we discuss:Elloa’s journey from struggling with fear, shame, addiction, and self-loathing to healing and developing a deep relationship with herself and her spiritualityThe tools that facilitated her healing, spiritual development, and creation of a solid sense of selfAn understanding of what A Course in Miracles is and what it offersThe resistance many of us experience due to the masculine and Christian terminology in the text, and how we can best access its lessons in spite of these thingsDifferent entry points into studying the course and some troubleshooting ideas for when the going gets tough (because it is a heavy duty text!)Where our sense of self comes from and how we can develop a more solid sense of selfWhat it takes to be true to yourselfHow to explore and express your vulnerability without getting sucked into a victim mentalityThe limitations of traditional therapy and 12-step programsThe process of taking radical responsibility for our lives and the empowerment that comes with itLinks mentioned:The Thirst for Wholeness by Christina GrofThe Awakening workshopA Course in MiraclesRising Strong by Brene BrownMay Cause Miracles by Gabrielle BernsteinKenneth WapnickBarefoot BarristerCrazy Good by Steve ChandlerMy Dad Wrote a PornoThe Daydream RevolutionWhere to find Elloa:WebsiteFacebookInstagram

TGGC #35: What the *bleep* is A Course in Miracles?! with Elloa Atkinson

Kyle Wood

Life on Purpose Episode #32 is the long-promised return of the LoP Round-Table! For RT#2, I was joined by Kyle Wood, Elloa Atkinson, and Toku. Collectively, they are coaches, trainers, and thought leaders in the mindfulness and personal development communities. They each write, podcast, and speak about mindfulness, vulnerability, and living purposeful lives and they each help others do the same. They joined me for a fantastic deep-dive conversation on the topic of vulnerability — what that really means, how that applies to our lives, holding space for others, and some practical tips for being more vulnerable each and every day.NOTE: I was incredibly fortunate to meet each of my guests at an amazing gathering that I've attended the past two years called Camp Good LIfe Project. This conversation began as a meet-up there and I thought it would be incredibly valuable to continue the conversation here on my show. I hope you agree!LoP Round-Table #2 GuestsAbout Kyle Wood: Hi, my name is Kyle Wood. And this is scary as hell. The last couple of years have been really challenging for me. It seemed like the work I had done over the years before to try and be a better man (think exercise, meditation, gratefulness practice, etc) had come undone. I had put up my shields and walls to protect myself during this time.When I was ready to make some awesome new friends and grow my business, something was stopping me. It was my walls; while they did a good job protecting me at one time, they were now stopping me from having the kinds of connections I desired. And I had no idea how to tear those walls down.Until (with the help of a coach, psychologist and friends) it hit me. The only way to start tearing down those walls was to start being a LOT more vulnerable. In fact, every success I’ve had this year has come through a moment of being vulnerable. And I want more of that.I’m married, to my amazing wife Zoe. I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I was (still am) a personal trainer. During my time as a trainer I worked on a fun side hustle that I call Bootcamp Ideas. This is now my full time income and allows me ‘location independence’. I still like living in one place at a time, but it is nice to be able to visit family and friends on short noticeTo learn more about Kyle, visit: http://heartmen.net.About Elloa Atkinson: I am a wife, a life-changing coach and entrepreneur, a dancer, a writer, a daughter sister and auntie, and a mum to my lovely rescue dog, Molly Miracle the Westie.I am driven by a vision that stirs the depths of my soul. Through a process of deep coaching, Fearless Expression challenges and my podcast, The Academy of Miracles, I reunite people with their whole self; that I coach + mentor brave people through a process of profound inner and outer transformation.I do this work because I spent the first 18 years and 6 months of my life heading towards a dark night of the soul, and the last 13+ years learning how to live again with authenticity, vulnerability, bravery and intimacy.To learn more about Elloa, visit: http://www.elloaatkinson.com.About Toku: Toku is short for “Gentoku”, which is the name I received while living at a Zen monastery. In my tradition when you take Jukai and become a card carrying Buddhist, your teachers give you a name. The name they gave me was “Gentoku”, which means “manifesting virtue or present sincerity”.I do my best on my blog and in my training to live up to that name and to help other people embody their best selves as well.I’m originally from Tennessee, but now I live in Portland, OR. I work as a Mindfulness Based executive coach and have clients in Portland, as well as all over the US and Canada.I’m a writer and thought leader in the mindfulness community. My writing has been published on sites such as Tiny Buddha, The Change Blog, and Sea Change.To learn more about Toku, visit: http://unexecutive.com.
