Hey everyone, you're on air with Ella, and we are continuing the Listening In series where I have a conversation with one of you.

So today's listener is Jia Li. Hi, Jia.

I'm so great. Now, Gia, I'm going to say your name poorly because I just confess to you that I'm lame.

podcast in the first place? So I always have passions and wellness and being our better self
