I'm back.

Welcome, you're on air with Ella, where we share simple strategies and truths from people who are doing something better than we are.

Whether it's wellness or fitness and fat loss to just living better and with more energy,

or changing your mindset to accomplish more in your own life and succeeding however you

define it. This is where we share the best of what we're learning from the experts and we're

learning more every day. Live better. Start now. Hey, you're on the air with Ella and it's me. It's Ella. That's right. I've missed you so much. I'm recording this at the very, very end of the summer, and it's been a while since we've been together. I hope that you have had an absolutely amazing summer. I did not mean to take the summer essentially off.

It was an unintended sabbatical, but one that has left me entirely recharged, refocused, and

ready to go. So I can't thank you enough those of you who reached out to me to check and make

sure I was A, alive, and B, kicking.

I am both. And I'm so sorry that I left you hanging. And at the same time, it's good. It's

actually really given me new purpose and new intention for you that I can't wait to share.

So today is a little bit about where I've been, how I actually came to realize I was avoiding

you, and where we're going now. Stick around.

Okay, you guys, if this is the first episode that you've ever listened to, it's going to be weird

because this is really an episode for the people who have been with me for a little

bit and long enough to know that I was absent for a little while. And I have to tell you guys,

I've been avoiding you. And I didn't realize it until I sort of called myself out on it. And I

have been really struggling with some things. So I'm

going to share that with you today and I'm going to share with you where that's led me.

I've been struggling with this episode for a long time because I don't want to sit here and

talk about me. I don't think that's useful. And then I thought, well, how do I make that useful?

And I thought, well, if I share all of the things that I've been struggling with and all the things that I'm still wrestling with, that's got to be of use to somebody
