Hey, you're on air with Ella and it's me, Ella, and it's just me today. I am talking today to

anyone who is feeling down, anyone who is feeling like life has been a bit tough or they are

stuck or frankly like you've let something already pass you by. This is a message for you if or when

you need something. So if you're riding high right now,

if you are feeling your power and you are killing it, or maybe you just want to have some fun today,

this might not be your message. You can just put this in your back pocket for when you need it

and know that it's here. But if you've been dealt a few blows lately and you're

feeling overwhelmed, then pull up a chair at this table, my friend, because I have saved you a seat.

Okay? Let's go. Welcome. You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies and tips from people who are doing something better than we are.

Whether it's wellness or relationships 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. Let's go.

tested that we're actually the closest to breakthrough? Okay, I do definitely think it's easy to sound overly optimistic

sometimes when we are putting our challenges into context to make them more palatable or make

ourselves feel better, for sure. But truthfully, it is impossible not to see that some of my

greatest times of challenge have preceded my

greatest breakthroughs. There was a time when I was involved in my dream job, in Europe, and the

owner of that company completely swindled us all, left us with three months back pay due to us,

took all the money out of the bank account and

moved to a different continent so we couldn't pursue him legally. And it was devastating. I was the sole

earner. I was supporting myself and my family. That was an extraordinarily challenging time that resulted in me starting my own business.
