This podcast has become one of my true loves. It’s been an inspirational weekly touchstone for me. To listen and to let the waves of love and intelligence and lightness and shadow dance over my body and brain has made me better and as Elise says, helped me learn and grow. Thank you from the bottoms of me!! A true gift.

Elise’s podcast is my happy place! I love her guests, her style, and her very calming voice. I’m confident if I knew her I would want to be friends with her. Thank you Elise for this wonderful and insightful content.

Elise has a beautiful way of encouragly pulling me to swim out further than I think I want to go— yet I’m never exhausted after listening! I’ll never understand how it is that we are not drenched in her brilliance all over the podcast world.

Pulling The Thread is the only podcast in my library that I listen to every single episode and some I listen to more than once. I love Elise Loehnen’s interview style and all of her work is amazing. Highly recommend!

Elise’s podcast is a rare gem, an ever-expanding field of insight, soul, and intellectual integrity. She speaks not just about spirituality and wellness, but about the deep architecture of being human. Every episode feels like a transmission: intelligent, embodied, and radically honest. What sets Elise apart is her capacity to hold both the mystical and the grounded, the sacred and the scientific, the shadow and the light, all in one breath. Whether she’s in conversation with spiritual teachers, scientists, writers, or cultural thinkers, the dialogue always feels alive, essential, and exquisitely human. This isn’t just a wellness podcast, it’s a spiritual education, a mirror, and a sanctuary for those walking the path of self-inquiry and collective healing. If you crave depth, nuance, and soul, you’ll find a home here. — Carla , AuraCare Group

Elise Loehnen has the most fascinating guests. I love the conversations that ensue and am smarter for listening.

I love Elise and Pulling the Thread. Never fails - me scrambling for a pencil and paper every time I listen to Elise and her guests- to jot down the pearl of wisdom, reflective thought, book title, or authors name shared in the content. I LOVE this podcast!!!

I appreciate Elise’s curious mind and thoughtful, deep approach.

I just love these deep and meaningful conversations

I love this podcast as it is one of my favorite places to turn for intellectual inspiration, and I am forever grateful for Elise’s great, synthesizing mind. So often I find signs and synchronicities in these episodes for things I’m experiencing during these great times of change, and I’m so grateful to have a podcast that so wonderfully bridges mind and spirit. I look so forward to new episodes each week and love Elise’s solo episodes as well, and love accompanying newsletter. Thank you for all that you do!!

Elise has thought provoking content and the best guests!

This is my favorite podcast. It is so hard to convey exactly what this podcast means to me and how much it has changed my life. Podcasts can be so hit or miss for me. I want the most authentic and intentional listening. That is PTT. I look forward to every Thursday when a new episode comes out. Elise is a fantastic host. She is so good at not only interviewing her guests, but also supporting them. She makes the structure or the container of this podcast so clear. It takes a really unique person to hold their guests and company up with such intention that in their answers we all feel such depth AND understanding. She has introduced me to amazing people like Richard Rohr and Phil Stutz or amazing concepts and structures like spiral dynamics or above/below the line, and the enneagram (4 here). I have bought her books, I have learned so much in my time listening to her. Thank you so, so much, Elise.

Elise is brilliant and engaging. I love diving into life’s complexities every time I listen to a new episode.

Pulling the Thread is my #1 podcast. I never miss an episode. Elise is the perfect balance of intellectual and spiritual!

Elise Loehnen always goes deep. I love this shoe.

Whatever Elise is interested in I know I will be too. I love the breadth of topics she covers and her curiosity. I don’t know where this community is going but I’m in!

One of my favorites- look forward to the episode every week. Elise’s unique perspective and vast knowledge on such a wide variety of topics makes listening worth my time!

My new favorite podcast. Wise and soothing to the soul.

Learned a lot from Elise on spirituality. TY

If you also love psychology, are interested in spirituality, fascinated by human behavior, and have huge curiosity about the world, this podcast is for you! It’s been my favorite since it started and Elise is brilliant. Now go listen! ☺️

Love your willingness to share your out of the box ideas and ways of thinking. Always good food for thought 👌

I love the podcast so much. Elise seeks knowledge, input, and inspiration from so many sources and across so many topics, yet all leading to the same theme of what it means to be human. So grateful to have Elise as a teacher and guide, generously sharing her teachers and guides!

Elise is our culture’s therapist. This podcast always opens my eyes and heart—explaining so much about why we are the way we are and what we can do if we want to change. Elise shares beautiful wisdom and introduces us to incredible thinkers and culture-shifters.

LOVE this podcast. elise is so knowledgeable and her guests so interesting.

Elise is extremely talented at creating a meaningful interview with her guests. Her experience and knowledge are unparalleled. I am so appreciative of the perspective she shares!

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. The conversations are extremely intelligent, joyful, discerning and useful. This show has introduced me to countless authors that have expanded my perspective and understanding

I listen to every episode even if I think I won’t be interested in the topic. I learn something every time! Elise knows how to interview so that it feels like you are listening to a conversation between friends and you are blessed to be a part of it.

Smart, insightful, and thought-provoking. Pulling the Thread always leaves me inspired. Love.

Elise’s podcast is my weekly touchstone in the midst of this chaotic world. I highly recommend this podcast and EVERYTHING Elise creates. Thank you, Elise, for your wisdom and leadership!

Elise’s content is like intellectual chocolate for me. Sometimes I’m searching for answers or explanations on a topic, and she and her guests’ discussions and curiosity just hit the spot. And sometimes I don’t know what I want but just want to be challenged, and once again it hits the spot. Intellectually, spiritually, whatever, it’s like I didn’t know I needed to hear it until I heard it. Intellectual chocolate 🍫

Elise is such a searching person. She’s not afraid to dig deeper, to ask questions, and to wonder. I’m so grateful for her.

She is so good at synthesizing information and then sharing it in a digestible way. I also really admire her curiosity - she is a true seeker, always trying to better understand herself, our world, and the universe. Please give this podcast a listen - pick whichever episodes resonates - it’s worth it!

I am so grateful for the broad array of ideas, nuanced spirituality, wisdom, and intelligence that Elise brings to this podcast. She is a thoughtful interviewer and has a warm, relatable manner despite being a serious smarty pants. I wish I knew her in real life!!

Incredible Podcast! Happy I found this.

Hi Elise, I’ve been listening to you for years, way before this podcast came out. I don’t have to tell you that you are intelligent, bright, and interesting, I know you know that about yourself. I’m 20 years older than you or close to 20 years older. Just an observation- stop trying so hard. Give yourself some space to grow into the woman that you’re becoming. Like you, I too, am Jewish. When you are raised in a Jewish home, sometimes, unfortunately, some Jewish girls/women of a certain generation are undervalued, unseen andm, unheard. And sadly, this messaging follows us into adulthood and it becomes harder to erase the past as we get older. I feel like maybe you got some of that messaging, that you weren’t enough. I might be wrong though. Stay the course, lighten your grip, you have a long life to live. You’ll have all the things you want. And if you want to learn how to not fear asking for your value monetarily, I can help you with that. That’s one area I shine in. lol ~Jamie

I learn something important from every episode. Thank you for this podcast. 😊

I am a long time listener of this podcast, and I have gained so much from my hours spent listening to Elise and her many wise guests. Elise has a style of interviewing that brings forward the information and heart of her guests with truth, tenderness, and insight. I value the way Elise is able to share pieces of her own story, while always highlighting the presence of her guest and bringing them forward in such a good way. I am truly grateful that there is content like this out in the world. So many podcasts are full of sensationalism and and don’t take the time to dive into the inner weaving threats of life in this way. It takes time, it takes presence, it takes willingness, and humility. I’m grateful for your work Elise!

I love this podcast and look forward to each episode every week. Elise articulates the/ her human experience and life’s big questions in the most beautiful, vulnerable and expansive way. She is an amazing interviewer and thought leader— I also love her solo episodes so much. Elise is mother! (I’m a millennial but this slang term always pops into my head when I think of her). Her work deeply resonates with me and I am so grateful for it. 💗

Absolutely love this podcast. Gives me just what I need, when I need it.

You will get something out of every episode.

Your work has expanded my view in wonderful ways. I’m grateful. Keep going. We all—our girl’s especially—need voices like yours to look to and learn from. Thank you!

I am a long time listener of Elise. She is a skilled and intelligent interviewer...like the smart friend you wish you had! I love her book, but her podcast is my favorite. She is both intellectual and relatable.

There’s a wackadoodle podcast of same name in u tube I was sad it wasn’t you!

Grateful for your work, Elise.

this podcast does important work and I look forward to it every week. I may not agree with everything or resonate with every topic. But the podcast has encouraged me to pull of the thread on topics important to me in my own life.

Great.

This episode was so insightful! Thank you ! I loved how you were able to engage with Richard!! Such wisdom and insight! Thank you!!!

I LOVE Elise. I’m getting turned off by everything turning into or relating to politics. I am not of the mindset that “the world is upside down” or “we live in strange times.”

Pulling the Thread, with Elise, is my late evening practice where I receive relaxation, inspiration, and always anticipation for the next episode.

I was really curious about this podcast, and was excited to give a listen because I found several of the episode titles to be right up my alley. Unfortunately after several tries I had to throw in the towel due to sensory sensitivities. I hope this comes across in a constructive way because you can see how much work is put into these episodes, but the recordings are riddled with “mouth sounds”. As much as I try to push through they eventually trigger such intense anxiety and sensory overload that I find them unlistenable. This is certainly not a concern for everyone but fair warning, I listen to hours of podcasts a week and this is the first one I had issues with.
