Show notes

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with the amazing Ella Halikas for one of the most openhearted conversations yet. We dive deep into childhood resilience, the impact of family trauma, body confidence, and fighting to love ourselves beyond what the world wants us to be. Ella gets real about navigating her parents’ brutal divorce, losing her brother to addiction, and how being the “fixer” as a child shaped her healing journey. We laugh about crazy family moments, get honest about dealing with internet trolls, and uplift those who feel pressure to fit in. Through every twist—therapy breakthroughs, plus-size modeling setbacks, and letting go of the “B. Simone” persona—I’m reminded that our stories matter, not just for us but for everyone walking a similar path. No matter what season you’re in, this episode reminds you: your pain, joy, and growth are all valid, and you never have to walk it alone. Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!
