## Resource

SQUAD! In Part 2 of this conversation, digital creator and athlete Elle Cassellman shares what happens when you decide to dream bigger than the plan you originally had for your life. From getting into UCLA after being told she never would… to building confidence through faith, consistency, and bold action… this episode is about showing up even when nothing feels guaranteed. In this episode, they talk about: • chasing purpose • creating impact through content • taking risks — like walking into a Baywatch audition without registration • trusting that imperfect progress can still lead somewhere powerful Because reinvention doesn't have an age requirement. and remember, midlife isn't a crisis, it's a plot twist. xoxo melis 🏃‍♀️ Elle's LA Marathon Training Partner Elle is training with Endorphins Running .
