Episode Notes:

“Prioritize your health and happiness as much as your success.” -Dr. Ellen Wong

After years of living with high functioning anxiety, Dr.Ellen Wong eventually reached a tipping point after two hospitalizations related to burning out. Although she appeared like she "had it all together" - she secretly lived with never ending mental chatter that left her feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted and unhappy. 

Realizing this was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her life, she set out to learn how to stop overthinking and reframe her negative thought patterns. She even travelled to the happiest countries on earth to learn about happiness. 

Now, as a Naturopathic Doctor, a Self-Talk Transformologist® and founder of The Joy Avenue, Ellen works with women who are tired of feeling anxious and overwhelmed and guides them towards feeling calm and confident. 

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

  • How she navigated living from anxiety and burnout to guiding women to healing
  • Childhood and cultural impacts on how we view our self-worth
  • Working from home while mothering her newborn in a pandemic
  • Epigenetics and the importance of self-talk and mental health
