0:00.0	Welcome. You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies and tips for living a little better every day.
0:08.9	If you're interested in mindset and wellness or healthy habits and relationships, or hormone health, aging well and eating well, honestly, if you're into just living better and with more energy, then you're in the right place.
0:22.3	Welcome to real, honest, no-fluff conversations about creating a better you.
0:27.6	We're not here for perfect.
0:29.1	We're here for a little better every day.
