The whole section of "when you thought I wasn't looking" had me in tears. That is really, really special.

[@charliedesborough2847]

elle saying “you’re meant to be where you are now” and i’m stood hoovering fml 😂

[@shaunabee2348]

Obsessed with your podcast! You are 100% a true testament of someone who has learned from their mistakes and grown. It's so refreshing to see as it's appeared so genuine and I love that. You also make me feel so much better about being a mum and motherhood (I have a toddler). Inspired well and truly.

[@courtneylynn5565]

I rarely comment but you showed up on my recommended and you have a new subscriber! I love your energy soo much and during your affirmations I got chills!! you’re authentic and are the light, voice, and inspiration that many of us need right now. Everyone needs a friend like Elle! #growingandglowing

Sat in tears listening to this. As a mum of 2 under 2, I can relate so much to this and being present in the moment is something that haunts me daily. I feel like I’ve missed so much that I’ll never get back. I need to change and you’ve helped me think about it in a different way. Thank you.

[@camillat984]

Sending you so much love. You are doing amazing. 2 under 2 is up there with the hardest things anyone can ever do. You have your WHOLE LIFE ahead of you to enjoy with your little ones...don't worry about being perfectly present right now. If you're even worrying about being present with your kids that shows that you are giving everything you have and are an incredible mum! xxx

[@alexforman39]

@@camillat984 thank you so much for this. Such a thoughtful reply, and it means a lot.

[@glowbible535]

[@kalliebroadhurst1108]

When she said "look at YOU" I cried😭 ❤

[@jadetymon]

I can’t thank you enough for this episode! Never have I seen someone explain something so perfectly! 🫶I love the positive twist you put on motherhood 🥹I haven’t seen anything even similar. Im already so in love with this podcast ✨

[@reneehopwood6925]

Currently going into week 2 postpartum with my 1st child and this podcast was severely needed!

[@ashleywright2702]

I know this feeling all too well. My first is now 5 months and it’s got easier day by day. You’ve got this! ❤

[@Siobhannnnn]

I’m a new follower of your vlogs and I honestly feel like I was guided to your youtube channel and podcast. You and your beautiful family have helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I’m forever grateful for you. You are just the sweetest kindest soul Ellie and I wish you nothing but love and light 💗💗💗

[@ParisWoods90]

Thank you for this video Elle, especially the part about looking back on yourself in five years time. I've just had my first baby and it was so refreshing to hear x

[@vanessawells238]

I just won’t to say how thankful & grateful to you for being back on line , I was so lost without you. I Love what u do Ellie and I find these podcasts very helpful.xxx

[@Theresebonath6077]

I dont belive that for a second that we are ment to be where we are right now. This is just something ppl that for now have a great life saying. But if im ment to be where i have been for the last 3 years then its better if i commit suicide to be honest because i have lost all hope and im so lonely and traumatized by life. I live only for my love to my dog. But i must say that it brings me joy to watch you Elle and your lovely family and im so proud of all you have done so far and the teaching you have learned and grown from ❤️

[@babypink56]

sending love, light & healing ❤️‍🩹

[@kiarawood7358]

I so needed to hear this today! I had bad mom guilt letting my little girl sleep over her grandparents just to have a bit of me time and I felt awful and guilty and listening to this cleaning really made me happy that it’s okay to put me first sometimes! Thank you Elle I really needed this 🤍

[@emmabrown7843]

Thank you Elle and Well done on another amazing episode. They just keep getting better! So much of what you said in this episode resonated with me and made so much sense! Love My Tuesday morning routine - dog walk & the new Growing and Glowing episode 🐶✨

I needed this so much today 😮‍💨 thank you so much 💕

[@nancjj728]

Even though I don’t have kids I fully understand this. You are beyond your years . I’m 35 and just got the concept of getting to know myself. Esp before kids !

[@rhiannonrogers6963]

Not me sobbing in the gym cause I needed this ❤❤😂. Plus size mama trying to get fit oxox

[@ronniesequinesiblings]

I’m so proud of you and you are such an inspiration sweetheart thank you for you xxx

[@sierramarie]

My NEW FAVE thing about Monday’s ❤

[@charmainechatkin4263]

I agree about mirroring and the triggers that brings. I just love your podcasts. The incident with your Mom and you wanting to hang out with her, I believe her reaction came from how she had been treated as a child. We are all victoms of victoms of victoms - Louise Haye

[@charmainechatkin4263]

Wonderrful! Your children are so happy to have you and Connor as their parents. My only heartbreak is that I do not have children. I have a pain in my heart every day.

[@shanicestanier8902]

Praying for you 🙏 we were told i would never conceive and we now have a 1 and a half year old little miracle who i love dearly. He is my life and every dream come true. I love and appreciate him and motherhood so much. Even more so because I never thought I'd be lucky enough to be a mum. Keeping you in my thoughts ❤xx

[@georgialees1026]

oh my god we'd love an Elle swift book so much! xxx

[@kym.etherington]

listening to this on my late night dog walk is the best feeling,this episode is so close to home✨☁️🤍👼🏻

[@kym.etherington]

i'm defintely going to look into the higher vibrational parenting book! sounds like a bit of me for sure!👼🏻✨☁️

[@charmainechatkin4263]

You are such a teacher and have such a maturity and I believe these podcasts can help people who are even much older than you too. I have so much to learn from you. Thank you. You are an amazing person.

[@vickyclarke756]

Love this

[@catlynch1728]

Love this! Where is your hoodie from! I need this ❤

[@jndb19]

Just want to play devils advocate. And coming from a long term listener. Just feel I need to make a comment in regard to the controversial topic you pointed out. I feel like you haven't taken your own advice. People are making those comments from a place of protecting their children and are doing so because they are using all the information that has been given to them so far in life. They are just doing their best and having a child I'm sure has taught them nothing but love as you said. Just a thought.

[@Kiwiasmr.]
