Happy Astra ,

Brilliant inspirational and actionable!

I have followed Ellie’s work online for a while now and have a lot of respect ghee ethos and the value she gives.

I saw months ago that she’d launched a podcast but only just got around to listening. I was pleasantly surprised! I listen to a lot of female entrepreneur podcasts, some very well established and professional. So although I knew Ellie’s would be good I wasn’t expecting it to match those but it absolutely did.

This podcast doesn’t waste time, it’s not about regurgitation of basic tips or too much personal tangents. It’s useful, succinct and original. I’m putting into place a lot of new stuff based on Ellie’s advice and I’ll not miss an episode in the future!

Can’t wait for season 2 Ellie, thanks so much for this amazing resource!
