Welcome! I’m Elisa!

I’m pretty much your everyday person, busy, adulting, working and keeping up with my family of four kids, and a hot, intelligent husband (who will never read this, so I can get away with that)! After filling out paperwork for the kid’s school stuff, sitting in traffic, running errands, and going to the doctors, I’m tired.

Then I add in my work of writing, speaking, and coaching. Oh ya, then there is being a good human, trying to love my neighbors, investing in my community, and attempting to stay up on what’s happening in the world. No joke–I am done! (Just like you probably are!)

This is why I’ve had to relearn how to do life so I am alive, and making a difference in my home, community, and world come out a full cup first. This means I often have to let things go and step out of the hustle. And that is O.K. I’m still learning how to be fully alive as I change the world. Is this part of your story too?

I can’t wait to get to know you and hear your own story!

Your Faves and My Faves



What's Your Type of Music?

I love folky music and techno music, hard rock and 40’s jazz. For a couple years I aspired to be a musician-songwriter and always first think of myself as a proskuneo



What Are Your Hobbies?

Besides writing and being with people, paddle-boarding, hiking, and reading fiction (especially on audiobook)! I also love adventuring between the mountains and the sea here in San Diego and beyond.



What's Your drink?

I am not 100% a coffee snob, but I am still probably 78% snob. My goal is to visit every coffee shop in my county (sometimes I post about it at San Diego Coffee Tour).

What Do You Like To Explore?

As an adult with a budget, I couldn’t globally travel as I had dreamed. I began filling my wanderlust bucket with local Friday Adventure Days with my kids, and then on road trip Kindness Quests.

Our Community

Although many in the Average Advocate community are like me, and even share my worldview and faith, others don’t. That is okay. All are welcome here.

We start with our common ground: That all humans matter, are equal, and worthy of love. We believe we are better together. We share from our perspectives, aim to be learners, and act gently and respectfully. Thank you!
