My heart goes out to you, Grandma Ellen ❤️ So heartbreaking to listen to your story ❤️ But also your strenght shines through, watching and listen to you here ❤️ Love and many hugs are sent your way ❤️ You are never alone ❤️❤️❤️
@@GrandmaEllen I feel like I am connected to you in some way since I am in trauma therapy right now ❤️ The hug thing... totally got the same from my mother... its like it was offensive to hug in our house 😢 Much love and healing to you ❤️ Hopefully we will meet one day and if I am allowed you can get a proper hug ❤️❤️
@@GrandmaEllen My family did not do hugs. At the last concert in Norway last summer, I got a hug from Kent(a) it took me a little by surprise, but I am thankfully for it. As Angelina asked us - be kind to each other and spread love...
Ellen, thank you so very much for sharing your story and your thoughts, as they are now available to the world and the world is a better place. We are truly blessed to have Angelina in our lives, as she inspires us to help one another.
Andy, that is so true that we are inspired to help one another. The path of self-awareness and healing is long and continues. I have always prayed the time spent there could be redeemed into some useful good for others, as well as myself. Andy, I love your presence in the angel community. Sometimes I look to see if you have commented, breathe a sigh of relief and move on. 💜
I love this podcast because both Alan and Pontus often ask profound personal questions. Only by exploring these kinds of questions can we grow and heal. Thanks to Grandma Ellen for her willingness to be vulnerable and transparent.
This is the most profoundly beautiful and healing livestreams I have ever participated in thank you to everyone who was there. And thank you to Alan, Pontus, and especially Grandma Ellen Mae. 💔❤️🩹❤️ 🖤👣
I want to start out by thanking Alan and Pontus for running a successful Podcast where all walks of life can go and seek wisdom, expressive conversations, stories that opens hearts and minds to the possibility of a cleansed soul and all because we have something in common, Angelina Jordan. A special thank you to Ellen Elizabeth Mae. The woman you are today is not because of what you experienced as a child but it did shape you to become a strong, loving and caring person that right now I feel proud of knowing. Healing starts and ends with you. Huge virtual hug.
Thank you Ellen, Alan and Pontus. So heartfelt and emotionally driving. Ellen your great strength in sharing your story is very much appreciated by I'm certain many more than me. Angelina has been a blessing to me as well and I feel with all my heart she is changing lives on a daily basis. May God bless all
My favorite moment from that performance! The drummer was literally frozen in place with his drumstick in the air, looking at the bass player in wonderment. Then carefully lowered his hand, so as not to distract from the moment.
@@GrandmaEllen please Ellen, I truly believe that you should consider this conversation proof that writing your story could help many. We are all brothers and sisters. We need hugs from someone safe. Your book could be a turning point for you and readers hungering for the beauty within us fighting to find expressions ❤❤❤😊
@@stevenhambek846 , thank you for the encouragement. As you might guess, it isn't easy writing about this stuff. Sometimes, after even a small passage, I want to sleep for days. But I feel life and purpose calling to me again. I do know it would help me sort of pull it all together to write what I know. Thank you, and here's a safe hug.
This was a wonderful podcast. Thank you for being so open to share your stories. You never know who will be impacted by it. Bless you. I’m sending motherly hugs to you.
Alan and Pontus, thank you for the invitation to participate in this project of yours. You have been a great encouragement, and thank you for making this video look so good and unfold like a lily of the valley plant in Spring.
Grandma Ellen, if I may, you had me riveted to my seat for 47:41 and I thank you for sharing your story with all of us. One thought that came to mind was if someone listened to this podcast and except for the couple of little clips of her singing they would have been wondering, "What is this girl all about? I need to hear more of her and find out what is going on!" Of course they got a good start by listening to her sing 'Shield' for them. And. Ellen, what's so interesting is when we watched her singing the song in that outdoor setting, not only do we hear her beautiful voice with tones so soulful, she is actually connecting to her audience in between notes when you look at her facial expressions. I could go on for hours but let me say it was wonderful listening to you and the conversation you had with Alan and Pontus about healing was so extraordinary because listening to you shows what someone can do if they believe in themselves. Discovering Angelina and sharing love with her brings forth a feeling that most of us have never felt before in our lives. Please don't ever feel unappreciated or not loved in your life again, dear Ellen. A lot of us have wondered, "Who is this Grandma Ellen person?" Well, now we know and we love you very much. ❤
Dear Ellen, I am deeply moved by your profound courage and honesty in sharing your personal journey. Your experiences are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music and connection in our lives. It's truly inspiring how you've been able to harness your experiences and use them for healing and growth. Your reflections on the impact of Angelina's music and how it brings comfort and a sense of belonging are genuinely touching. It is a beautiful reminder of how art, in its various forms, can transcend barriers and speak directly to the human soul. This is a testament to the universal language of music and the healing it can offer. I admire your empathy and compassion, not only toward yourself but also toward those who have caused you pain. Your capacity for understanding and forgiveness is a powerful message to all. Your journey has shaped you into an empathetic and resilient individual who can find beauty and meaning even in the most challenging circumstances. Remember that your story is a source of strength and inspiration for many people. By sharing it, you offer comfort and validation to others who may be going through similar struggles. You are not alone, and your journey matters. Keep shining your light, Ellen. Your story and your strength are making a difference.
Ellen, as is with our Angelina, you have great wisdom, and this sharing has helped many people. As you spread the love among your family, do know, as with our Angel, you now have an extended family.😇🌸
@@RobertDeMartin Thank you so much for your attentive and responsive listening. And thank you for the love. I'm letting it settle in. Angelina is amazing for coming here, singing complete phrases of Whitney Houston at 18 months, and knowing by the time she could articulate well to others, "I will sing for the world, to make people happy." She is simply being and sharing the gift with which she came---and look at the good it is already doing/done. If she never sang again, she's already done a world of good. And she will continue to do so. It is an inspiration to take what life hands us and offer it up for the good of others. Thank you for that affirmation. If we fail to meet at a concert, perhaps we shall meet in that place of light and beauty.
Empathy. Both you and Angelina heal us in so many ways. I cry with you; and yet, rejoice, in the knowledge that you both are fulfilling your destiny's. Watching Pontus and Alan demands that I give you a virtual Hug. I have a great appreciation for you sharing your journey with us. You complemented her book with such fine interpretations. You have become an important milestone for me and many other Angels. Bless you, Ellen. 😇🌸
Thanks Grandma Ellen❤ 🙏👌for your emotional! touching 😢soul-touching😢story about a part of your Life! and the human connections in Angelina’s family that Angelina shaped from an early age into the person,who Angelina will be today and in the future for all of us Angels 😇!! Thanks Alan and Pontus so much for arranging this great Podcast with Grandma Ellen Roger out. Love ❤and peace ☮️✌️🙏😇👣👸🎙🎺🎷🎸🎼👋🏻🙋♂️
Thanks for sharing Ellen. 🫶 A healing gift of Autophagy -Angelina’s voice a fast for the song, a cellular ballet, her embrace guiding the way. A returning of emotions when the fast is near, a new found clarity, they come alive, a symphony of feelings, no longer deprived. 💘
Wonderful podcast! I believe we are all connected spiritually whether we know it or not. I have no doubt there are many human beings who live and give of themselves from a place of pure love. Angelina’s immense talent has, through discussions like this, opened my eyes to the need to connect with others.
Powerful. Thank you Alan, Pontus and Grandma Ellen Every interview brings new depth to our understanding of Angelina and the impact she has on people worldwide. i wonder if she realizes how profound her effect has been.
Thank you, Claude. If it helps encourage others in their healing, I am satisfied. Angelina's books is so beautiful. My secret desire is that they would do a run of both the English and the Norwegian books as part of current promotion. Even new fans would love knowing early Angelina.
Alan and Pontus, wow! That was something else! I left a comment for Ellen and from now on she will be Grandma Ellen to me. My goodness, if Grandma Ellen ever goes to a live Angelina Concert she better get ready because the line will be very long of people who want to give her a hug! For those of you out there who could identify with some of the situations she found herself a part of, DON'T EVER GIVE UP! Find the strength inside you, IT'S THERE! There's love inside you and you can share that love with so many people in so many ways. Guys, everything Grandma Ellen said was so profound and touching we now realize what an extraordinary person she is. Her connection to Angelina and Angelina's family is so positive a lot of us now understand what we have been feeling about the Angelina Story and never knew how to explain it. And, btw, it should not go unnoticed that in each of these Podcasts we learn more about you two and your Stories. Lastly, your editing for this production was in a word, perfect!
Thank you Ellen....spent a lot time writing a comment to thank you but it was deleted unfortunately....pretty much why I no longer bother with commenting... waste of time but my sincere appreciation to you
Thank Grandma Ellen for sharing your story and how it intersects with Angelina, her music and her as a person. Thank you Alan and Pontus for letting her tell the story. Are stories are different in some ways but over all very similar. Angelina provides the healing gift for us but it only works when listening with an open heart. I keep my personal time with Angelina very private but I will tell you she was very appreciative / moved when I shared a very special place some of her music played in my life. I still struggle with hugs, due to my childhood, I left at 14, but please know I am sending warm hugs and love. Ps, currently I’m in Washington Also. 🤗❤
Thank you, Tom. Yes. Safe hugs back to the degree you want them and are able to receive them. Much of my healing and awareness took place here in Washington. Such green and so much water! A perfect place to heal. Thank you for listening with your heart.
What a story, Ellen. You are so powerful standing up to all what has come your way! I’m blown away. I’m really happy that you found Angelina, and Alan and Pontus. All angels are here to stand with you ❤. We exchanged messages before, which was wonderful, but I didn’t know your story ❤️🩹 I hope we’ll meet at one of Angelina’s next concerts. Love and hugs ❤❤❤
Adriaan, thank you for listening with your heart. What a gift Angelina is, and meeting other angels at a concert would be like whipped cream on exquisite chocolate, for lack of a better metaphor. LOL
A Lot of truma in her life , i think this was testament of the movement ofAngelina is healing , she may not even know this because her focus is singing for the world that is her task from GOD and as we all have a task.some more effiective than others, some bigger than others . some people need the thought of Angelina' whole idea, yes miss Ellen she is an Angel. God bless you and thank you, Allen & Pontus great episode. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this interview, it has given me insights previously un discovered about the relationship my mother had with my sisters and brothers as well as my self.
Thanks to all three of you for this podcast. Alan is correct that we all have our skeletons and demons in our past. I was lucky with two wonderful parents but both with issues. Mom married 4 times, 3 of them to Dad. Three schools in first grade and about a dozen more over the school years. Life is what we choose to make it once we leave home. Dwell in the past or plan for the future. Angelina is a huge positive available to us, but she can't make us happy. It's up to us.
Ellen, you describe her book so well! That book also delivered healing to me. Yes we are all broken to some extent, we all have darkness in our lives, you are not alone. In the book Angelina appears to make observations as a nine year old - just a page with few words, but that penetrated all my emotional barriers. Jeg vil bli en stjerne. En stjerne kan ikke skinne uten mørke. Og jeg vil skinne mer og mer. I want to be a star. A star cannot shine without darkness. And I want to shine more and more. In the darkness that we hold within us Angelina's light shines brightly. Typing these word - the tears flow freely...
@@GrandmaEllen yup 😶 thanks for your concern and reply. The episode was so unexpectedly moving. A rare one. bare naked honesty, no frills. Thanks to you and the hosts. and to the muse too.
To all Angelina's fans from TIKTOK, and U Tube, Please show your love for Angelina by buying her new single, and the upcoming EP, and Debut album. Just watching it for free will never get her up the charts.
@@andyschnell58 Did that years ago and have purchased her new single on every platform available....we millions of fans should be doing the same...my 2 cents worth....free views of her content not helping this girl, maybe on the YT nonsense but does nothing for her career. Does it really need to be said any more???? Thanks Andy for beating that bush so much!!!
Ellen, thank you for sharing your story of both the pain you endured and the struggle to grow and heal. Even after this you may worry, was this worth sharing with so many in so public a way. All I can say is yes it was. Know that your story helped me in my own struggle with the misfortunes of my life. Your own kind demeaner in this interview as well as your many comments on AJ's videos are as inspirational to me as the inspiration you found in AJ's singing and writing. I'm sure I speak for many others as well. Please take care ❤. Thank you Alan and Pontus for these wonderful discussions. When I first discovered these podcasts about the impact of AJ's artistry, I skeptically felt they might be the exaggeration of over zealous fans. But I watched them trying to understand the impact that Angelina had on me out of curiosity. But as I experience more and more of her wonderful ongoing story, I'm routing for her to gain a wider stage in the world. We may have only seen but a glimpse of what this young woman has to offer. But seeing the personal impact on folks like Ellen, Bob and yes myself and others, what a wonderful impact she has had.
At the end of this particular episode, very rich, and with much which was difficult and painful to hear, I sat in silence a while and was about to go out of the page and looked at the title of this show: WRAPPED IN A WARM BLANKET. It so connected with Grandma Ellen's suffering and healing and the courage she had to share it. It was what she didn't get as a small child .. she was not wrapped in a warm blanket for long enough to hold it as a tool to live through. She shared that losing one's mother at the age of 2 has not given that child enough wrapping in a warm blanket that one would remember as life showed its trials and difficulties. Sarah knows the value of this, we see it when she supports the young girl who Angelina gave her shoes to - to go home and rest. That young girl felt and received Sarah's offering as true love, partly because she had been with Angelina in an experience she may have never had before. Someone stopped and asked to hear her story .. with sincere interest and a desire to comfort a girl alone on the side of the road trying to make a little money. They shared their stories and were able to have compassion and love for each other in just one conversation. This was because Angelina was present and curious and filled with compassion. Then she was given the beautiful boots .. and Sarah came in, helped her with enough money so she could truly go home and rest, a concept this girl had probably not ever thought of as a potential choice. So she got wrapped in Angelina's very warm blanket and then Sarah's maternal blanket to top it off. How blessed she was that day. I like to imagine that it was so special that it truly held her warm long enough to be able to find a different way to get where she wanted to be. That the love she received truly gave her a lasting understanding of loving another and of compassion. I pray for that for her, whenever I think of her .. and Angelina still prays for her .. no small gift there. That's all .. I just wanted to say how perfect the name of your program was for today. You offered her a warm blanket that she could speak freely about her pain and not feel judged and so she could share how Angelina had helped her heart. Blessings to ALL THREE OF YOU and a warm hug to Grandma Ellen
Angelina seems to gravitate to themes of pain and artists who suffered in an attempt to salve those wounds. One can imagine that Angelina was blessed, first with great talent, but then with such love and encouragement that she has developed a profoundly deep and loving inner and external life. From this perspective the human race must seem so broken to her. Thus her mission to spread love with her music..
I really enjoyed listening to your beautiful conversation. It was so profound that in the end, I felt a sense of safety in a secure world! Brave, Angelina!
A very fitting program for Mother's day. Your playing of Shield at the end was also very fitting. Sara is not just Angelina's mother, she is her Shield. Sara is Angelina's Guardian (Angel if you will), both spiritual and physical. She has protected her on numerous occasions. Angelina has a habit of putting her head in the Lion's mouth. She has performed on many occasions for negative people, that a child should not be around. The entertainment and political industries are overrun by such individuals. Let this be a tribute to Sara, the ultimate Shield.
@@GrandmaEllen I believe that Angelina is one of the new hybrid people for the New Earth. The New Earth is 4th density positive. Unless Angelina chooses something negative, as an experience, nothing negative will happen to her. She literally has legions of positive entities protecting her. The current negative system needs to collapse, before she can take her reign
All conversations seem to ultimately end up in a spiritual discussion and, I believe, rightfully so. As you may know, there are many reports of young people being able to tap into the spiritual realm, but often they lose that ability as they age (probably because compromises have to be made to simply make their way in life). It appears to me that Angelina has a perennial ability to maintain a connection with her higher self. I find that this whole Angelina experience is just fascinating.
Yes, very much. I met someone who can remember being very eager to finally be born. That blows me away, but I've read some about this and it exists worldwide in all cultures. So, it is part of being human that we use only a small percentage of what the brain is capable of.
Thank you Grandma Ellen. Not many would have exposed for the whole world what you just did. And I know, it is a part of the healing. This got to be one of the best podcasts I've ever seen. Maybe we all miss or lack something, which Angelina is able to provide to us through her artistry. It certainly feels like she is doing just that. She always has. And it all is a mystery. How? This podcast is giving me the answer. Not all are able to connect to Angelina. I know that I did just that. I've listened to her music every single day since the very first day I rediscovered her. I saw her in 2014 at NGT, and has been aware of her ever since. But she was just a little girl, and I didn't understand how she was able to sing like that. Then I stumbled upon I Put A Spell On You about 2 or 3 years ago. And that was it. She put a spell on me, I think. I think she got me that first day, that first listen. I listened to all that I could find by Angelina for 4 hours straight. Thank you Alan, Pontus and Grandma Ellen. This podcast makes perfect sense, and I'm sure people (or fans of AJ) all over may find this very interesting.
Steinar, thank you for listening with your heart and taking time to share encouragement and appreciation. Like you, I've never responded to a musical artist like this. I want to follow her until I have to say goodbye.
This was a magnificent Podcast and my heart is happy that you're finding yourself! Ellen, and may God Bless you in all ways possible! It was very brave of you to come to all us strangers and tell your story, thank you very much.
@@GrandmaEllen Your very Welcome and I know you feel a lot better and I am so happy for you. I hope they ask you to be on again, I was blessed. Have a question, do you have a reaction channel? If so, how do I find it? Take Care and God Bless!
@@markkleckner3060 no reaction channel. I am not a technology nerd. But this experience has shown me the value in story-sharing, topic-discussion on video. Who knows? Several months ago, in a review of my life and feeling exhausted from multiple losses and the spiral of self-awareness/work, I put it "out there:" Why did my path go this way? I don't know what to choose anymore. If I am to do anything for others with this life journey, it has to come to me, because I no longer know where to go looking. And, eventually this invitation came. I am now resurrecting by tiny increments again and my husband is sick, so I'm not rushing anything. Thank you for asking.
Grandma Ellen is such a wise person. I think it's a blessing to her and to so many, many more that she found Angelina. Thank you Ellen for sharing your wise and profound thoughts here. Alan and Pontus please don't stop but beware you're raising the bar every time LOL
I was discussing that very issue with Pontus just last night. How do we follow up an episode like this? Answer- With great difficulty. Maybe others will come forward with their life traumas helped by AJ. But we were really lucky to find Grandma Ellen. She is so articulate, so in touch with her feelings. No actress could play her part as good as she portrayed herself. AP
@@thealanpapier Alan, she was great! No question, a star cast for this role. I find it remarkable the humanity she has retained despite her regrettable past, to the advantage of other people. Angelina seems to have given her the power to reveal herself, a truly healing thing. By the way, I thought it was right to just let Grandma Ellen talk at times, you guys are getting better and better. Your level is damn high now, but it's actually been like that for a long time. I think every 'angel' should check out these podcasts.
Thank you, Joe, for listening to your heart and taking time to reach out with encouraging words. Angelina and voice came into my life during a period of great disenchantment. She is part of a sort of resurrection for me. I know that life is real for everyone. My hope is that Angelina Jordan is never derailed. The mama bears and mama mountain lions are watching. LOL. Just to exaggerate a bit.
@@joetomcat7800 Even before we recorded this, I 'warned' (is that the right word?) Ellen that this would be our best podcast. It was obvious. It was a combination of her story, her use of the language, and her emotional accessibility. Of course, she had some natural hesitations about displaying her pain and vulnerabilities but our priority was to assure and involve her every inch of the way. In the end, it was a total win-win situation. She had access to a unique step in her healing and she also has had the satisfaction of her story helping others. For Pontus and I, it allowed us a powerful avenue to display AJ's impact.
@@thealanpapier Alan, good preparation is half the ticket, as they say here. So I remain a safe consumer of these podcasts, but please with subtitles for Germans with serious English language impediment LOL. Tks!
@@GrandmaEllen WOW!!! That was something else!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. We have a better understanding of where you've come from and who you are today as a compassionate person. I always love reading your comments. I hope you write that book, and include some of your poetry too. I'd love to read some of your poems. Are they available online? 💙
Thank you, Ellen, for sharing with us your life and how it relates to our barefoot princess, Angelina, and thank you Pontus and Allen. I'm older than all of you, but so what. Angelina, besides being extraordinary herself, was born into a very remarkable family that included a very loving mother, Sara, and a forever doting grandmother, Mery (and, of course, her uncle Michael). This is a family of love and compassion that informs who Angelina is, and has become, today...and what that is, well, superlatives fail me. Angelina's emotive voice, her life to age 17, as of this past January, and equally, her family, absolutely soothes and adds joy to my soul, and I am forever blessed that this beautiful person (and her family) came into my life, even if it was on RU-vid.
some pictures in her book shows me where the idea with the blue contact lenses comes from. the conection with this poor girl must go deeper as we can imagine.
Thank you Allan and Pontus and Grandma Ellen. I think I got to like the video clip of Shield with bright colours of material flying in the breaze. Train going past in the back ground. Looked a bit like fire lol. In Angelina's last concert in Norway, the stage lights sometimes put these materials colours up sliding across the wall in back of the stage. Which I think was for the song sheald she sang at the concert. Steve from NZ.
My dear Alan and Pontus. Only today, for the second time, I had the opportunity to absorb everything that this episode radiates and that you produced with the company/co-authorship of the very expressive Ellen. It is a validating episode of the great mastery of "our" Angelina. And who better than the three of you to do it. I would love to be able to see Angelina watching this video, better, I would really like your work to be validated by her. I'm sure that would happen. But maybe we'll let her focus on finishing the course and preparing the New Album of songs that she personally promised. As everyone has already said, she was born with this GIFT and it will certainly enhance it even more in the future with her entire artistic career. I need to believe, because the examples of loss from other artistic phenomena left a deep impression on me. What waste, what great losses there were!!!. And the "Great Age of Aquarius" is finally arriving, which has already been sung a lot and, which has not really happened until today !! Peace and Happiness to all World and especially to you my friends (if you allow).
Francisco, thank you for listening with your heart and for your encouraging response. All bright blessings to you. As Angelina sings, "..surround me with angels, don't let them go...." 💜
You know Grandma, that's exactly what I thought of when Pontus asked you that, suspicious minds. What would she think of if she heard us talk like this about her? As if she's mother nature herself calming and healing our ruptured souls? Be kind and spread love, her only words about this song to us. She felt kind of silly saying that you notice? Because we are silly. That song is for us. Listen to it in the context of the collective, it will chill you to the bone. Even her growing up in front of us through it. She knows she's hear to help us. That song is now about us, human beings, civilization, and our love for each other. I dare you grandma. She's giving us the business in that one. Well deserved and on point. What you did here, that's beautiful, I've actually asked if she's everyone's mother before. You put yourself out there, made an ass of yourself, like she does for us. That's something I do in my own ways too. That's courage. Except much like her, you didn't make an ass of yourself at all in the end did you. Just helped others feel and heal along with you. I'm in the market for a couple years now, so I hope it's cool I've been calling you grandma. Great show again guys, best show on television honestly. I've known Sarah, quiet as she may be, she's behind this is all I can feel it, and now I know why. How she's strong enough and kind enough to be willing to help us and face the world to do it. Because she has a mother, and so many people don't know what that means in the context she does. She always felt like the luckiest girl in the world. With us, music minds, and of course with her family. If she only knew what that says about her.
Thank you, Ryan, for listening with your heart and sharing your heartfelt response. You are right on about what she did with Suspicious Minds. Yes, I've made an ass of myself more than once in the healing journey. Ask me sometimes about that day with anger therapy. LOL! A grandma hug to you.
@@GrandmaEllen Thanks Grandma 😊 You are truly insightful in this interview, it's beautiful. Your background, a bit of a dive into Native culture, your understanding of psychology and nurture is amazing in the ways you showed here. It was really cool. Big hug, one of those back cracking kind.
