Elizabeth April: How Unlocking Your Inner Child and Quieting Digital Distractions Can Dramatically Elevate Daily Wellbeing

As a part of our series about “5 Lifestyle Tweaks That Will Dramatically Improve One’s Wellbeing”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth April.

Elizabeth April, also known as EA, is a gifted thought leader of many titles. From clairvoyant, truth seeker, intuitive psychic, paradigm shifter, to best-selling author, EA is breaking the mold as she opens people’s minds to a new way of thinking. Above all, her ongoing mission is to help humanity awaken by expanding their mind to the infinite possibilities the universe has to offer.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the story about how you first got involved in fitness and wellness?

From a young age, I was able to see energies and auras, talk to spirits, and feel other people’s emotions. Being born with extrasensory abilities made me feel like an outcast, and being so alone created a lot of anxiety and depression. At the age of 10, I shut down all of my connections so that I could just fit in and be normal. It was a long journey, but when I moved away to University at 18, I felt safe enough to dive back into the spiritual world. I started experiencing past lives, astral travel, telepathy, and once again was able to communicate with spirits on the other side. My spiritual journey was quite overwhelming and taught me so much about who I am and the world around me. My awakening was a dark and isolating process, one I observe happening in people all around me. I’ve now made it my mission to help others on their journey discovering the truth from within.

Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career?

There are so many interesting stories when you get into this vibrational world, and I recently had one of my most interesting experiences in Sedona, Arizona with Demi Lovato. Demi invited me out there to help them connect with UFOs and extraterrestrial life and bring awareness about their existence to humanity for her show Unidentified with Demi Lovato (NBC’s Peacock TV). Seeing so much UFO activity in one night was definitely the highlight of my career so far!

Can you share a story with us about the most humorous mistake you made when you were first starting? What lesson or take-away did you learn from that?

When I was 20 and first starting as a psychic and life coach, I decided to put an offer up on craigslist. I offered my services in exchange for… anything really. I really liked the idea of doing a trade. One day a man came to my office for his appointment and brought a giant, and I mean giant, rack of ribs. However, I was a vegetarian at the time and had zero clue what to do with these ribs. Of course, I kindly accepted and had a great session with him but started to second guess my open offer of trades. I still do trades to this day, but I’m now a little more selective in what I’ll trade for.

Can you share with our readers a bit about why you are an authority in the fitness and wellness field? In your opinion, what is your unique contribution to the world of wellness?

At the beginning of my career, I had a very difficult time defining who I was and what I did. I never really fit into just one category. I wasn’t just a psychic, or medium, or past life regression therapist, or life coach. I’m not just a UFO expert, or public speaker, or artist. I was, and still am, all of that. I think what sets me aside from others is my never-ending curiosity and need to combine different worlds together. My goal is to anchor the connection between quantum physics, cosmic disclosure, and spiritual awakening. I feel pursuing this goal allows me to contribute to humanity.

None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?

My Dad raised me and my brother as Catholic, but he’s always been open-minded beyond religion. I am the most grateful for him and his continued support in helping me achieve my goal of awakening humanity. He would always ask questions about my visions and experiences when I was a kid. At the age of 16, my Dad gave me my first past life regression, which pulled me out of my anxiety and depression and launched me into the world beyond this one. It is because of him and that regression that I am where I am now. I will forever be grateful to him for that.

Ok thank you for all that. Now let’s move to the main focus of our interview. We all know that it’s important to eat more vegetables, eat less sugar, exercise more, and get better sleep etc. But while we know it intellectually, it’s often difficult to put it into practice and make it a part of our daily habits. In your opinion what are the 3 main blockages that prevent us from taking the information that we all know, and integrating it into our lives?

The three main blocks people struggle the most with when trying to apply better wellness and self-care routines are: distraction, time, and self-doubt. I was tempted to just state “distraction” three times over. Since we are truly living in an overstimulating world, it’s so important for us to put the distractions away and quiet our minds. Many people use the excuse of time to avoid focusing on wellness and self-care, and I get it — I use that excuse all the time. We live busy lives, especially if you are an entrepreneur. However, replacing video games, screen time, and television with more mindful practices will instantly increase the time you have to focus on yourself. Once you make the time, and put the distractions away, self-doubt is still a huge preventative factor when applying yourself to wellness. So many people believe they can’t do it or don’t deserve it. I’m here to tell you, you deserve to live the happiest, most fulfilling life ever, and it all starts with the first step.

Can you please share your “5 Non-Intuitive Lifestyle Tweaks That Will Dramatically Improve One’s Wellbeing”? (Please share a story or an example for each, and feel free to share ideas for mental, emotional and physical health.)

1. Start Living. You can truly start living by being more present. It doesn’t take a trip to Fiji or a sky-diving course to really feel alive. It’s important for us to stop and breathe or stop and smell the roses, literally. In a world full of screen time, we forget we live in an actual real-world full of beautiful things and interactions.
2. Have Fun! When’s the last time you finger-painted or made a Lego structure? When you were a kid, right? Well, it’s time to bring back that inner child by getting outside your comfort zone! Sometimes we are so stuck “adulting,” we forget to let go and have fun. And no, I’m not talking about going out to a bar and having drinks, I mean the spin-around-until-you’re-dizzy type of fun! Sing at the top of your lungs like no one’s listening, or dance to your favorite beat — WITHOUT being on TikTok.
3. Talk to Yourself. Have you ever heard that only crazy people talk to themselves? I have to! That’s why I literally thought something was wrong when I started meditating and hearing my own thoughts. As a matter of fact, it can be extremely healthy and even uplifting to not only be aware of that voice inside your head, but to converse with it too! There is so much to uncover when you truly start listening. This will make you feel supported and heard without the hefty therapy bill.
4. Join a Community. In a world full of masks and fear, it can be extremely difficult to make new friends. Humans are naturally social creatures who need interaction on a weekly, and even daily, basis. The internet is a chaotic place, but also an amazing one to find others all around the world who are interested in your interests! Take note of what lights you up and check out online forums such as Facebook, Telegram, Discord, or even YouTube to find your tribe!
5. Eat Junk Food with LOVE. Are you a night-time-snacker? Yeah, me too. I always felt guilty for wanting something a little sweet after dinner. I’m not here to tell you to swap your chocolate for carrot sticks; in fact, the exact opposite. When we take action and feel guilty or shameful for it, we repeat bad patterns and overall, resent ourselves for it. Next time you grab a snack, truly love yourself for doing it. Allow yourself the pleasures of enjoying those chips, or cookies, or ice cream, or whatever your craving is. The more we love ourselves, the less we need to fill a void.

As an expert, this might be obvious to you, but I think it would be instructive to articulate this for the public. Aside from weight loss, what are 3 benefits of daily exercise? Can you explain?

Three benefits of daily exercise are:

1. Improved Motivation. Look, exercise doesn’t need to be this crazy daunting gym outing. Get up from your computer and do some light stretching, or maybe take a walk for 30 minutes. Doing one small thing a day will make you feel productive, improving your overall motivation and vitality when doing other tasks!
2. More Self Love! Getting away from work or family and doing something that only benefits yourself isn’t selfish, it’s self-sustaining! Getting into your body, even if it’s just for 20 minutes, will allow you to reconnect with yourself and love yourself more!
3. Moves Energy .Physical exercise is of course good for the body, but did you know it’s good for the soul too? Throughout our life and experiences energy, emotion, and reaction all get stuck in various parts of our body. Exercising daily, even light exercise, can move stagnant energy out of your body and improve your health exponentially.

For someone who is looking to add exercise to their daily routine, which 3 exercises would you recommend that are absolutely critical?

1. Breathing. Is this an exercise? Yes, it is! Focusing on your breath and allowing yourself to take deep inhales is a key component to sustaining your energy and your mental health. Many people don’t focus on their breath, which can be a downfall when moving through tough situations, especially anxiety.
2. Stretching. I say stretching because yoga is so overdone. Forget the yoga class and just listen to your body. Where in your body do you feel the tension? Stretch that area in a light and easy way. This is crucial for the daily maintenance of your overall systems.
3. Calisthenics. Gyms are overrated. You can get all the exercise you need at home, without equipment. Using your own body weight for things like push-ups, Russian twists, and squats will tone your body and increase your metabolism. I incorporate these exercises into my daily routines, like squatting when I brush my teeth or doing jumping jacks while I talk on the phone.

Is there a particular book that made a significant impact on you? Can you share a story?

I don’t do any external research. The only book I read is of my body, mind, and spirit. It tells me everything I need to know.

You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. :-)

I have so many causes I’m passionate about. The one that is ever-present in my mind is that of awakening. If we could get the world to question their reality and look beyond, we could make a significant change. When we all start viewing each other as equals rather than the “Us vs Them” mentality, real change will begin.

Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Do you have a story about how that was relevant in your life?

The first tattoo I ever got is the quote, “Everything happens for a reason.” I don’t know if it was something said to me or something I just experienced and knew to be true. Since getting that tattoo at 16, I look at every aspect of my life this way. All the good, bad, and ugly was and is, meant to be. This objective view not only empowers me but, allows me to learn from every aspect of life.

We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch with, and why? He or she might just see this if we tag them :-)

I would absolutely love to have a conversation with Jim Carrey or Russel Brand, I honor their journey going from the projected world of entertainment to something real and deep. They are an inspiration and utilize their influence to help people expand, question, and awaken — which is my goal as well.
