Making the revelation on her TikTok, the former NRG radio presenter started by disclosing that she was diagnosed with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 'a neurodevelopmental disorder that causes differences in brain development and brain activity which affect attention, ability to sit still and self-control in individuals.'
Not only that, Elodie said she was also diagnosed with Scoliosis, a condition that dimmed her dream of professionally pursuing athletics.
"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2023, explains why I struggled in academics my whole life despite being in top schools.
"I was a professional athlete but being born with bow legs and having one leg shorter than the other affected my spine. I was diagnosed with scoliosis and can't run anymore," she wrote.
According to the content creator, she is spiritually gifted and can connect with other people's emotions.
"I have been spiritually gifted since I was little. Seeing and meeting entities that took care of me as an only child, I love lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis and astral projection because I don't feel alone.
"I feel people's emotions even when I don't know them. Just know I know, I knew you from the moment I met you," she added.
Touching on her family, Elodie said her late grandparents left a legacy as they held various prestigious positions. With this Elodie says her family expects her to be as productive and leave a mark in the world.
"I don't have any living grandparents but looking back at old photos they were so cool. Working at Harvard, building cars, first female African politician, they did some great things and I am humbled.
"All I want is a little house by the beach, a van and my dog. I don't care about owning land, building businesses or a legacy. Just a simple life where I can give back, swim in the afternoon, climb trees and eat fruits but I feel guilty because all the people who raised me should see me become more due to societal norms.
"Being from six countries makes me seem confused, being from six countries makes me realize just how much culture and magic live in my ancestral blood," she wrote.
Growing up, the YouTuber disclosed that she wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine but couldn't because of her low scores in science. Her dog Max however gives her an opportunity to experience the animal love she so yearned for.
"I wanted to be a vet but wasn't good in sciences. Animals are naturally drawn to me, reminds me that my dream still lives, just in a different way.
"My son Max gets judged a lot. People are afraid of him or say he can hurt others. Their view of him taught me how judgmental the world is. For your information, he's better trained than all of your dogs and I did it through learning from YouTube. Stop complicating building a relationship with big dogs," she concluded.
Elodie has been making headlines for the past few days after opening up on her current life situation.
"At the beginning of the year I posted my reality on TikTok and that was great, it got a lot of support. I talked about losing my family, parting ways with my friends because I wasn't in agreement with their ways, dealing with a break-up due to intimacy issues and losing my job," she revealed.
