In this episode, I (Ellie) make my first attempt at recording solo. Tune in to see how it goes! 

Ellie had the pleasure of speaking with primary care physician Dr. Rita (@wellhealthdoc). She is currently completing her fellowship in integrative medicine. She provides an interesting perspective on wellness. 

In this episode, Ellie was lucky enough to catch up with singer-songwriter Isaiah Grass. Isaiah Grass is a Chicago-based singer/songwriter. He's a former American Idol contestant in 2020, who gained international exposure! His fanbase reaches 250k followers worldwide, 1.5 million website visits, and he's verified on social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Youtube & his website). Some of his hits include: “Climb Over Mountains”, “A Girl Like You”, “This Is Not A Love Song”, “Wherever You Are”, “More Than Friends”, and his festive holiday song “Christmas with You” (where he donates proceeds to Salvation Army, and children's hospitals), and most recently I NEED YOU (inpsired by mental health).  Additionally, he's been ranked No.1 on the Chicago Reverbnation Pop Charts. On top of all of that, Isaiah is also an ambassador for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). He has such a beautiful message and is one of the most intentional artists out there. It was an absolute blast and pleasure to connect with Isaiah. Go check him out now!

Ellie had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Maddie Barrasso, Program and Grants Manager at not-for-profit, I Support The Girls. I Support the Girls collects donations of new and gently used bras, and individually sealed tampons and maxi pads and distributes them to girls and women experiencing homelessness across the U.S. and globally. Bras are considered a luxury and wearing the same bra for years causes health problems. Many times living on the streets means having to decide between buying a hot meal or a box of tampons. No one should have to make that choice! To learn more about this wonderful organization, listen now!

Ellie had the wonderful opportunity to talk with singer-songwriter, Priscilla Ahn. Priscilla has released several albums since her start. Some of which are "A Good Day", "When You Grow Up, and "This is Where We Are". She has a gorgeous song called, "You Make The World A Better Place", and has sweatshirts which echo the same theme. Ellie and Priscilla discuss, Priscilla's upbringing in PA, Priscilla's identity as an Korean-American woman, song-writing, and of course mental health.
