As our conversation came to a close, I asked Ella and Kylie to share one piece of advice they’d like to leave with our readers.

One of the most significant takeaways from our conversation was the importance of community and support systems. Both Ella and Kylie emphasized the role that their networks have played in their journeys.

“Don’t be afraid to take risks and try new things,” Ella said. “It’s often the biggest risks that lead to the most significant rewards.” Kylie added, “Be kind to yourself and prioritize your well-being. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, but remember that your mental and physical health is essential.”
