0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.3	Welcome to RealPod. It's your host, Victoria Garrick Brown, and this is the podcast where we hold nothing back.
0:11.4	Oh, so we're getting deep, huh? I really cried for 12 days straight. Why do I want to be perfect?
0:17.2	There's nothing in my life that is perfect. Every week, I'll bring you honest, unfiltered,
0:22.0	and eye-opening conversations to help uncover the real in all of us. I crave the type of content
0:27.5	that you're talking about. I actually felt insecure. Oh my God, I'm not going to cry. Let me just

1:28.2	And I'm so grateful that we met when we did. And we're going to talk about that today because
1:32.1	I think a lot of people struggle with how do you make friends, new friends in a city, all that
1:35.8	stuff. And Ella is like, I call her the mayor. Whenever we show up to events, I'm like,
1:39.3	the mayor is here because Ella knows everybody and she's friends with everybody. But she is so much more than just my friend.
1:46.5	Ella is a sports illustrated model. She is the self-proclaimed, but I will vouch, CEO of
1:52.2	confidence. It's truly an art. She's amassed over a million followers across social media.
