Inner language with Ellis

Many of the biggest decisions in our lives seem to be about what we should do. Should I leave this relationship? Should I start a business? Should I move cities? Should I quit my job? Should I go back to school? But often, we're not really afraid of the decision itself. We're afraid of what the decision says about us. What if I'm not good enough for a different life?

I thought quitting would fix everything… but somehow I felt worse before I felt better. In this episode, I talk about the grief that comes after choosing yourself.

I share my own experie...

Before I made one of the biggest decisions of my life: leaving my job and my Instagram channel, I had to sit with a question most of us face at some point: Is this fear… or is this my intuition? Because they can feel confusingly similar. At some point, you notice something starts to feel off. Not wrong enough to quit immediately. But not right enough to ignore either. So you stay. You overthink. Y...

In this introduction, I'll introduce myself, and I'll tell you a little bit about my mission and the reason I'm starting this podcast.

Have you ever felt like everything in your life looks fine on the outside… but deep down, it just doesn’t feel right anymore? In this first episode of Inner Language , I’m sharing my personal experience of outgrowing a life that once made sense: combining a full-time job with an Instagram account of almost 70K followers, and the moment I realized it no longer felt like me. We’ll talk about the fea...
