In today's episode, my guest, Ella Borak shares her story of getting diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, talks about how it impacts her life and what it it like to have a flare up.  She imparts wisdom on how having a chronic illness impacts other areas of wellness, the intersection of mental health, stress and physical wellbeing; and the lessons she has already learned at such a young age.  Ella reminds us all that trauma has a deeper impact than we think it does, how to listen to ourselves instead of society, and the importance of giving ourselves grace.
