## Resource

In this episode, Ellie is joined by Jess, who shares her experience of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018 and how it’s shaped both her life and her business. She speaks honestly about the challenges that come with it — the highs, the lows, and everything in between — and how she’s learned to manage it while building something she’s proud of. Now running her own Pilates studio 'Balance Wellbeing Studio' and she talks about embracing her diagnosis rather than fighting it, and what balance really means to her. An open, real conversation about mental health, resilience and creating success on your own terms. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions around mental health disorders and emotional distress which some viewers may find upsetting.
