Stefanie Ellis: Cookies, Croissants, and Speaking Your Truth

by | Nov 7, 2017 | Podcast

 

“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
