We welcome a new guest to the Highest Version community, Ellie Ringpis! Ellie truly has a “child-like” outlook on life by viewing even the smallest of things as one of the most amazing things in life. She really teaches about how important perspective can shape our mental health and how it can actually improve it. As we get older, we lose this sense of “play” and “awe” we had when we were children. But Ellie proves to us that even as adults, you don’t have to assume the identity of a Disney adult to have child-like awe and make life a lot more interesting! If you feel stuck or feel like your life feels boring, this is the episode for you!
