In this entry, it’s multiple choice! Well, at least that’s how Christians practice their faith. They would never admit it of course, but many fundamentalists claim that they follow ALL the scriptures in the Bible. But do they actually? After recently falling asleep watching YouTube, then waking up to a YouTube auto-play of videos from Girl Defined (A Christian based series of obnoxious messages about purity and a woman’s place in the Patriarchal structure), I’ve got some bones to pick. First, WTF YouTube? Second, I’ve come here to drink a PSL and kick some scriptural ass…and I’ve just finished my latte.   Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com   Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

In this entry, everything sucks and everyone is an asshole…Or maybe not.  Does anger and rage always spawn more anger and rage, or can it be redirected to provoke our better natures instead? That is my topic, though I don't claim it will be easy.    Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com   Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

In this entry, we’re sliding up those scandalous over the knee patent boots, wearing everything that’s too sheer, too short, and too risqué. What is life without leaving some lasting impressions? Yes, some will say you’re just an exhibitionist, but there’s going to be a few who see you and feel your vibe. Who knows, you might just be helping someone else find their confidence. Fasten those garters, stroke those nylons, and strike a pose.    Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com   Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

In this entry, we’re talking about changes, even when things are going well. Why? Because it could be better. Self improvement sometimes means messing a few things up to find something more ideal. I also talk about passion and why I don’t allow myself to sell it out in certain areas anymore.   Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com   Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

EleAMental Podcast No. 82: Personal Jesus   In this entry, we’re starting a religion! Following in the path of such great men such as Joseph Smith, L Ron Hubbard, and Alex Jones (He’s kinda like a new conspiracy based religion), we’re conjuring up a brand new belief system to call our own. You might think I’m kidding at this point. To a large degree, yes. However, the concept of faith and belief is interesting. And regardless how stupid and ridiculous the claims are, it’s still a powerful force that people are using to mold and shape our world. It’s that specific result I’m seeking. How do you live your life with reason, compassion, and love, while also believing in some force that drives you and gives you purpose. This will be sure to upset some, but I’m opening up about my new take on the spiritual. So no proselytization here, no trying to convince you of my beliefs. Instead, if you must believe, why not multiple choice?   Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Website: http://houseofel

In this entry, we’re talking about self-worth again. This one is a little bit different. I’m not going to tell you to “Treat yo self” or “You a queen.” Instead, I want to persuade you to be honest with yourself. What do you feel you value is really worth. Do you let other determine it for you? To do think of yourself to highly? Are you good, but could be better. So don’t discard yourself in the clearance bin, but at the same time, are you really the best you can be? Only you can be the judge of that…   Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com   Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

In this entry, we’re talking about where I went these past few weeks! A mental health break is never a bad idea. I’m going to talk to you about my anxiety disorder and how it got way out of control. Then the bad things I tried to fix it, followed by the right things I did which actually is working. Nonetheless, I’m doing very well and am ready to push onward.

In this entry, let’s talk about keeping your therapy in session. When did people start wearing their mental illnesses like medals of honor? It’s become the ultimate excuse for people not to deal with their problems, it’s just “the way they are.” In reality, it’s annoying, it’s rampant, and it needs to stop. So let’s deal with our issues, remember what social curtesy is, and understand proper place and time to share certain information.

In this entry, we’re talking about being so much yummier. I’ve had a fascination with Catwoman for a long time (Michelle Pfeiffer specifically), I just wasn’t paying attention to the lesson she was trying to teach me. I’ve always seen myself as A Keaton Batman type. Awkward, introverted, brooding, focused, selfless. Now, I’m starting to see that while that is definitely part of me, there’s another. To quote Bruce Wayne to Selina Kyle, “We’re the same…split right down the center.” Like Yin and Yang, I too have a dual nature. One part bat, one part cat, I am contradictory, yet balanced sides. As of late, I’ve felt that nature begin to claw out of me. Forcing me to reevaluate myself and my beliefs. There’s a time to be the silent, watchful guardian, then there’s a time to squeeze into latex and rip out someones intestine with your bare hands. You can try to deny your dark side, but in the end, it finds a way to manifest one way or another. So let’s ask the question “What Would Catwoman Do?” Would she just forgiv

In this entry, I talk about my own little form of prostitution. I may not be selling my body, but I’m selling my soul. I feel that’s much worse. Let’s talk about work and how I pay the rent. When it’s come to my main source of income, mum has been the word. Since 2017, I had to start back at a job from my past, working as a Christian TV editor and producer. The content isn’t the kind you see where the lgbtq or liberals are being bashed, but it’s just not my idea of quality content. And it’s draining. Not to mention it opens up a lot of old wounds for me being in that world, even for a very small time each week. So a decision has been made and we’re going to talk about that today.  Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com Music was provided by Damn The With Siren, featuring the song, “Big Mouth”, and was used with their permission.

On this entry, we’re going back to the basics…the sexual basics. Mostly because a sad majority of our population has been miseducated about sex and reproduction, or simply no education whatsoever. We are in a sad state of affairs, rather multiple states. Not only are people not getting the fundamentals of what they can do to protect themselves before, during, and after intercourse, they’re also being punished with life altering consequences because of ignorance. I was fortunate enough to have had sex ed in California when I was in 7th and 8th grades. Had I been in Arkansas still, it would have been Abstinence-Only rhetoric. Lets face it, when 2 teens in the thrust of puberty find willing participants in each other, it’s going to happen. There is not threat, barrier, or chastity belt that will stop them. I had proper sex education in school, but bullshit shame and religious guilt at home. This is about my struggle with this division and how it did me a lot of harm, and many others as well. We also talk about t

On this entry, we talk about Body Dysmorphic Disorder, or BDD. On top of the body dysmorphia I’ve dealt with all my life because of gender, I’ve also inherited BDD from my genetic background. BDD is simply your brain either distorting your self image to be bigger than you actually are, or smaller. It’s vicious and it’s not something you just deal with, you actually need medication and counseling. I talk about my struggles here and give some insight into what happened in 2015 that caused me to retreat from the world.

On this entry, we’re back with The Black Cat to talk once more about BDSM and Submissive/Dominant Relationships. However, this time we’re getting into the dirty details that many of you reached out and asked. We also talk about a few things we missed in the last conversation, hoping to shine a light (a black light?) on some important issues.  It’s time for even more sex education, especially since this isn’t the kind of topics you’re going to hear in a classroom, especially in Alabama…you heard me “50th.” So bind yourself up for an hour and join us in the dark.    Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   The Black Cat: http://blkcatapothecary.com Instagram: @_the_black_cat_apothecary   Ele Nichols: Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com

In this entry, we're talking gender and femininity. It feels like it's been a while since we've talked about these subjects, which is normal for someone like myself, who is almost a decade past transition. It's a big thing that happens in your life, then eventually it becomes the new normal. The need to talk about it passes, because it's just your life now and the excitement has passed. But that's when you have to start really challenging yourself to grow and find new things that excite, even scare you. My journey started as a self proclaimed crossdresser, then transgender, THEN transgender/gender-fluid. It's been quite a bumpy road, but that's just how life is. So this is my 2019 update about how I see gender, experimentation, and representation.

In this entry, we’re back with The Black Cat to talk about one of the most misunderstood sub-cultures, BDSM. She has over 20 years of knowledge and experience within the lifestyle, additionally she is in a 24/7 Dominant/Submissive relationship. It’s time for some more sex education! Join us as we dig into everything you wanted to know, but Google gave you a Wikipedia page instead. Let’s clear up the confusion, shall we?

In this entry, it's exactly what you think it's about. Yes, we're going the distance and talking about masturbation. Why? People don't have as much of a hard time talking about sex as they do self-pleasure. It's looked on as being something shameful, whether you're religious or not. It's embarrassing for most, but I'm here to change all that and alleviate the (ahem) pressure. This is going to be a very close look at my own sexual background and where my personal tastes and desires formed. However, I won't be getting graphic about the act, just sharing what impressionable ideas took hold of a very young me. It's not what you might expect. Also, we get into the overall subject of shame, being alarmed by unexpected sexual feelings, and simply allowing yourself to be happy regardless of labels or your own preconceived notions. While I'm going to be very open and transparent about myself, I would like to remind everyone that there is a certain time, place, and consenting person to share these details. So please be

In this entry, I’m finally speaking out about an aspect of my past that I’ve kept guarded. It involves my personal experiences of a man my mother was in a multi-year relationship. At first, things were positive, but quickly turned horribly negative. It's not so simple though, he was complicated and so was our relationship. I’ve chosen now to finally address him because of recent conversations I’ve had with a member of his family and my own. I always felt it was someone else’s story to share, feeling I had no right to share my experiences. I also never wanted to hurt anyone, especially his family, but sometimes you just have to be truthful and speak your peace. This is lengthy, so maybe find someplace comfortable to situate yourself and take a break at your own discretion.

In this entry, I talk about why it's important to protect your dreams from others. Whenever we tend to want to do big things in this world, we face critics who tear us down and make us doubt ourselves. While we pursue these things, we need to also protect them in their infancy. I also get into what made me eventually feel comfortable in calling myself and artist, and dare I say...A MODEL?! It's a mental deep dive, so grab your snorkel, through on your not-so-modest 2 piece and lets go!   Help Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/elenichols   Ele Nichols: Website: http://houseofele.com Store/Art: http://eluded.ltd Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @elenichols Email: info@elenichols.com
