592. Elle Macpherson: The Journey from Fashion & Fame to Surrender, Service, and Spiritual Wisdom

Today, I’m sitting down with a woman whose name is synonymous with fashion and global stardom — Elle Macpherson. But beyond the covers of Vogue and the runways of Paris, Elle’s real story is one of transformation, self-discovery, and resilience. In this conversation, we explore her evolution from supermodel to wellness entrepreneur, her journey with sobriety, what she’s learned from relationships and conflict resolution, and how she overcame breast cancer by seeking alternative treatments that aligned with her values. Elle shares how her relationship with fame shifted over time, what it took to step away from external validation, and how she found true fulfillment in service and spiritual wisdom.

We unpack some of the biggest lessons Elle has learned through reinvention — navigating the demands of career, motherhood, and personal growth while staying aligned with her values. She opens up about perfectionism, control, and self-trust, and the turning point that led her to embrace a new way of being. From early days in the high-pressure fashion industry to becoming a business leader in the wellness space, Elle reveals the practices that have helped her cultivate peace, purpose, and presence in her daily life. She also shares her recipe for personal style — how she blends fashion, intuition, and authenticity to create a look that reflects her true self.

Beyond the personal journey, we get into the role of spirituality in shaping her worldview. Elle shares insights from The Law of One, Osho, and Ram Dass, and how these teachings have helped her move from striving to allowing. She also shares her best approach to resolving conflict, and why she believes relationships — whether romantic, familial, or business — are some of life’s greatest teachers. We also dive into the concept of service — what it means to truly give without attachment, and why she sees this as the key to an abundant and meaningful life.

This episode is a powerful exploration of identity, healing, and transformation. If you’ve ever felt the pull to shift from doing to being, from striving to surrender, or from fear to trust, this conversation is for you.
