Conversations with Elisa Malangone PhD

Today we’d like to introduce you to Elisa Malangone PhD.

Hi Elisa, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am an internationally recognized spiritual medium, transformational coach, and speaker, dedicated to helping people bridge the gap between their seen and unseen worlds. My journey has been one of transformation, both personally and professionally, as I’ve learned to turn life’s challenges into profound opportunities to heal, grow, and inspire.

My abilities first came to light in an extraordinary way when I was just 4 years old. My younger brother Stephan, who became mentally handicapped due to brain damage from a medical reaction as a baby, was non-verbal and unable to communicate in traditional ways. Yet, despite his silence, I always knew what he needed.

One night, I awoke to a clear voice in my head saying, “Sissy, I’m cold.” Without hesitation, I got up, grabbed a blanket, and went to his room—only to find my mother standing in the hallway, confused by my sudden urgency. I told her Stephan was cold, and when we checked his room, it was freezing due to a closed vent. That moment wasn’t just a childhood memory; it was the start of my realization that connection goes far beyond words.

Over the years, I refined these abilities, discovering I could also sense and communicate with loved ones who had passed on. What began as telepathic moments with my brother has grown into a lifetime of helping others connect to spirit and, most importantly, to themselves.

Today, I combine my intuitive gifts with subconscious shifting techniques to help clients break free from limiting beliefs and reconnect with their soul’s purpose. Whether it’s bridging messages from the spirit world or guiding people to tap into their own inner wisdom, my work is about creating a safe and empowering space for transformation.

The lessons I’ve learned from my brother’s silent yet profound influence remind me that the most impactful connections often come from listening—not with our ears, but with our hearts.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Let’s be honest—little girls don’t typically dream of becoming psychic mediums, especially when raised in a fundamentally religious environment. I was that “weird” little girl who, in first grade, dared to draw a “third eye” on the five senses chart. That moment, though innocent, led to ridicule and shame that silenced me. From then on, I kept my gifts hidden, tucking away the very parts of me that made me who I was.

I spent years dancing around my truth. I earned a Ph.D. in religious philosophy, became certified in Reiki, and pursued life coaching. While all these achievements were meaningful, they were also part of a search for external validation, a way to explain my gifts in ways that felt more acceptable to others. But the universe has a way of nudging us back to where we’re meant to be.

That nudge came after I extricated myself from a toxic, abusive relationship. With little more than faith and a few dollars in my pocket, I realized I had no choice but to turn inward and lean into the spiritual gifts I had been hiding for so long. What started as a means of survival turned into my true calling.

The journey has not been smooth. I’ve struggled with self-doubt and faced skepticism from family, friends, and society. But the hardest part wasn’t their judgment—it was my own. Accepting my gifts, trusting them, and allowing them to guide me has been a lifelong process.

Through it all, one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is this: resilience is born in the fires of life’s challenges. The strength to overcome and persevere exists within every single one of us. Often, we don’t recognize it until we are tested. Those moments of struggle, the ones that shake us to our core, are the very ones that reveal who we truly are.

Looking back, I wouldn’t trade the challenges I’ve faced. They shaped me into the person I am today—someone who no longer hides in the shadows but steps boldly into the light, ready to help others do the same.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
When your work feels more like a calling than a career, it becomes less about building a brand and more about creating an energetic legacy. For me, this legacy is rooted in the authentic connection I share with my clients and community. My practice isn’t just about delivering channeled messages—it’s about helping others reconnect with themselves, their truth, and their limitless potential.

I specialize in spiritual mediumship and transformational coaching, offering a unique approach that blends intuition, empathy, and practical guidance. Whether I’m helping someone navigate their grief, heal from past wounds, or embrace new possibilities, my mission is always the same: to provide a space where they feel seen, heard, and empowered.

What sets me apart is the depth of connection I create. I don’t just step into a session with someone—I meet them where they are, holding space with compassion and presence. My work goes beyond surface-level insights. I guide clients in releasing old patterns and beliefs, allowing them to step into a life aligned with their soul’s purpose.

I’m most grateful of the trust people place in me to hold some of their most tender moments. It’s a privilege to witness the courage it takes to heal and transform, and it inspires me every day.

What drives all of this is a core belief that love is the greatest force for healing. My mission statement captures it best: “THE MATTERS OF YOUR HEART TRULY MATTER TO MY HEART” Love is the bridge that connects us to one another, to spirit, and to ourselves. My practice is my love letter to the world, and it’s my greatest joy to share it.

What are your plans for the future?
The future feels incredibly exciting and expansive for me right now. My plans are centered around continuing to grow my community while reaching new audiences in meaningful ways. I recently became a MindValley Certified Hypnotherapist and was taught by the amazing Paul McKenna, so it will be a blessing to observe how these new skills unfold into that future pacing of my practice. I’m currently working on my first book, which will share my journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way, with the goal of inspiring and empowering others to embrace their own paths of healing and transformation.

I’m also in the development stages of launching my podcast, which will focus on spiritual insights, transformational stories, and connecting with an audience that’s seeking growth and authenticity. Both projects feel like natural extensions of my work and a chance to deepen the sense of community I’ve built.

Big changes are definitely on the horizon as I step into more public-facing roles, including speaking engagements and upcoming media opportunities. It’s all part of my vision to help more people rediscover their inner power and live aligned with their highest selves.

Ultimately, my future plans are about embracing growth and leading with love, knowing that as I evolve, I’ll continue to create spaces for others to do the same. I’m so excited for what’s to come.
