Evolve with Ella

A lot of people can't take themselves seriously enough to reach their full potential, so this episode I analysed self belief and how to find it. I realised I was getting in my own way of achieving what I wanted to because I was doubting my abilities and feeling scared to try, or doing projects without my full effort and care. Discussing this topic I realised how its a continuous cycle, you have to...

Running has become a massive part of my life and that's crazy because I never planned on being a runner! I didn't think I was made for it. But here I am a year in, loving it so much and so glad that I gave it a shot because once you get started it gets so much easier. It has such a positive mental, social and physical impact on yourself that I wish more people felt less intimidated by it! So this...

Do you fill your day with outcome focused tasks and goals? Because this is a great recipe to make life feel like it's speeding by you. To produce high quality work with a high efficiency you need a variety of tasks in your day. Ones that are also mindful or creative or energetic or social. It's an easy trap to fall into basing your self worth off of your productivity levels, and it can be hard to...

Solo travel is a great way to discover more about yourself, build your confidence and strengthen your ability to be independent.

Tell me I'm not the only one struggling with comparison recently. It's funny how it can sneak up on you and you don't realise you've dropped the ball on you positive self talk, until all the negative thoughts culminate in a breakdown! This episode I talk about the effect comparison has on your self worth, and the importance of focussing on where you are/where you're going and the progress you've m...

I started today's episode with a recount of a situation that made me feel like a complete beginner, fearful of judgment in public and all that. It inspired me to make this and discuss the influence that fear of perception and judgement can have on us. How its easier to have the mindset that mistakes are part of the process and most of the time the worst case scenario you imagine is more than survi...

Avoid heartbreak/ lose connection. Avoid posting and criticism/ lose chance of support. The moral of the story is to embrace th...

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how different my future outlook on life is, between this year and last. So much has changed and a massive part of that is because my mental health has improved. Its really easy to believe it only exists as a constant and won't change but I wanted to share my experience in learning that even though things can have been hard for a long time, it doesn't mean it...

The reality is that being scared to make mistakes and be vulnerable stops your progress and prevents growth. This can show up in many areas such as businesses and hobbies, uni work, relationships and emotional conversations. I was planning to talk about an entirely different topic today but was sat in front of my laptop frustrated that it had taken me so long to record another episode. So I decide...

We live in a day and age where we have so many ways to access content, and that has a big influence on our lives and creation of things. This episode I talk about the relationship between the two concepts and how they interact. The main idea is to be aware of how much you're consuming and why you're consuming it, and how much you're creating and why you're creating it. It's so important to be indi...

Welcome to the first episode guys! The theme of this podcast will be around learning, and sharing ideas about changing my perspective or lifestyle, so to start off I thought it would be fitting to go through ten things I've learned in life so far that I feel are most important or have had the biggest impact on me. This is not a perfect cut, I've since got a mic, I'll get better at editing, and int...
