Stefanie Ellis: Cookies, Croissants, and Speaking Your Truth

“There’s a freedom that comes from knowing yourself and speaking your truth more freely.”

Stefanie Ellis is director of marketing and communications for Girl Scouts of Western Washington. She is also a self-described storyteller, idea architect, and word magician through her successful freelance writing career — with articles published in The Seattle Times, Northwest Travel & Life Magazine, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Paste Magazine.

Stefanie and I share a love of food and a passion for empowering women and girls to shine in the way only they can shine. Listen in as we talk Girl Scout cookies, croissants (and other assorted pastries), the importance of strong female mentors, and the freedom that comes from speaking your truth in matters of health, heart, and career.

Highlights

• Stefanie shares tips for connecting with your ideal wellness team
• How Stefanie balances her love of food (and pastries!) with her desire for vibrant health
• Stefanie’s surprising realization about how work can be “self-care” sometimes
• How to be true to yourself, even when others tell you that your strength is a weakness
• The important conversation we should all be having to shift the guilt and baggage around self-care
• How Stefanie decides when self-care stays front and center and when it needs to take a back seat (sort of)
