About this episode

Today we welcome self-made model, influencer, and CEO of Confidence, Ella Halikas. I met Ella at an Alo event in Hawaii and knew immediately I needed to have her come on the podcast to share all of her wisdom! Ella’s life completely changed when she went from being a waitress in Hawaii with zero connections to being a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model in just a few years. In this episode, we talk about her journey with discovering her authentic self, how confidence and body positivity shifted her life, her journey with PCOS, and so much more! We even get to hear Ella’s recent experience with being roofied in West Hollywood and what tips she has for us to keep safe when going out. Ella created her own path to success, and in this episode, she shares on how we can do the same. If you are “tired of being tired” as Ella says, and are wanting to align with your true calling, this episode is for you!
