Ellidy Pullin - Losing My Partner Chumpy, Imposter Syndrome in Business & Love After Loss
Magnetic With MadelynShow Notes
In this episode of Magnetic with Madelyn, Madelyn sits down with Ellidy Pullen, author, mother, and podcaster. If you've ever felt like you're holding two truths at once, grieving and growing, heavy and hopeful, the same person you've always been yet completely transformed, this episode is for you. Ellidy opens up about grief and life after losing her partner Chumpy Pullin, and how she's navigated rebuilding her identity as a single mother, a businesswoman and a woman dating again after loss. She shares the imposter syndrome that still follows her despite everything she's built, why she refuses to let success change who she is, and how she's learned to let love expand rather than replace. She also gets real about guilt that comes with forming a new relationship after widowhood, and the mediums and psychics she leaned on while searching for signs from Chumpy. She talks about talking to kids about death in a way that feels safe and normal, writing her book Heartstrong, and building brands like Future Fur while staying refreshingly un-curated. It's a warm, raw and wide-ranging chat about authenticity, vulnerability and showing up as your real self even when life is layered and complicated.
