Ohio raised we get to really know the girl from Ohio State who risked it all to chase her dreams out west in sunny Los Angeles, California. Calling Gabrielle an influencer would be an understatement as there is so much more to her. Get to learn more with our exclusive Furlough interview.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"When we first got to meet Gabrielle Adrian, who you might know as @gabby_adrian, on Instagram we were experiencing an influencer trip in Hawaii. During this trip we had the ability to dive deep and get to know her. Born February 5th, 1997 in Mt. Vernon Ohio but currently living in Los Angeles, CA. When it comes to where she sees herself living next it is either Columbus or Los Angeles… or bicoastal, it’s hard for her to choose. She likes to follow her heart and opportunity that makes sense at that point in her life. So destination unknown, but lots of places she knows she wants to go.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AViNpgEVY/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She really has two homes. A home that has been her forever home, Columbus, Ohio. Then her new home that has been calling her name since she’s been a young girl. With Columbus, she loves the nostalgic, prideful and authentic essence. It gives her the calmness of the country but the electricity of the city, both reflecting a lot within her. With Los Angeles, she loves its infinity. By infinity, she means its endless possibility to be malleable and fluid. You can be whatever you want, however you want but built and raised upon your work ethic and morals. Like many places, there is a yin and yang to everything. With Columbus, beyond the mundane weather and occasional traffic jams, she dislikes that Columbus’ creatives, entrepreneurs, and young professionals aren’t on the map as much as she thinks they should be. Slowly but surely, Columbus is being discovered for the great city it is but she personally thinks it should have happened sooner. With Los Angeles, she dislikes conformity. As much as she loves what she just praised… about its uniqueness and limitless boundary, there are still so many lost and easily conformed to whatever that bubble encloses them in… something she has caught even herself in. She strives to not only maintain her individuality but to embrace it and brand it with longevity.
\n
She originates from a small small town in Ohio called Mount Vernon. At age 2, her parents divorced and her mom took us to what they thought was the “big city”, Columbus! This became their new home and it was one of the most pivotal and essential parts of her life as she wouldn’t have created the life she has now in the original small town of Mt. Vernon. A few years passed, she enrolled in a dance studio and fell in love. She quickly found a burning passion that she did extremely well at, launching her into a competitive dance career. She traveled all across the midwest, making many trips back and forth to New York to perform with Broadway Bound. She loved being center stage, performing, the makeup, the costumes, the whole experience was truly whimsical and she loved every part of it. It was all she ever wanted to do and she truly thought it was her one life calling! Being a dancer and performer still highly transcends into aspects of who she is today.
\n
Middle School rolled around and she wanted to be more involved with school activities since her dance life was so consuming outside of it. She tried out for the volleyball team and without any hesitation, she found another love. She ended up giving dance up for volleyball which was a difficult but necessary move at the time. Fast forward, she ended up being a 4 year varsity letter winner in high school and on a National Club volleyball team for Elite Volleyball Training Center where they won Nationals in Dallas, TX when she was 16. That is a very dramatic fast forward, so as you can expect, a lot happened in-between this time. But the important things you need to know are about her development.
\n
Volleyball truly developed her as a strong, passionate and resilient leader. She was every team captain from 7th grade to college. She aspired to be that role once she felt its pride and power. She found that it was natural for her to lead and she enjoyed it. This leadership role is what led her to then be a member of the National Honor Society, Class Cabinet as Class Secretary and be in the top 10 of her class. She loved achieving, it was and still is one of her favorite things to do… and whilst fully transitioning to adult mode now, she is realizing it is a blessing and a curse because the real world doesn’t give out gold stars, points or grades for working your ass off.
\n
Senior year of high school, the lovely senior picture time comes around. She was put into contact with a senior photographer, David Beckham, who had a Senior Model program where you take one of his workshops and then he also takes your senior photos. Today, she has David to thank for starting her modeling career. He was the first person she got professional photos from which lead her to submit them to a local agency, who she is still signed with today! Modeling was never really a first thought for her, just kind of something to do on the side for fun. So what happened after high school?
\n
She got into Ohio State University to study Finance in the Fisher College of Business. She played volleyball for Ohio State the first year until she ended up getting hurt and needing surgery. She joined Alpha Phi Sorority, Order of Omega Greek National Honors Society and Undergraduate Women’s Business Association. During this time, she was getting booked on her first modeling jobs in Columbus for La Senza, Victoria Secret, Express and Abercrombie which was huge to her at this point. If you didn’t know, Columbus is a huge fashion hub for headquarters, so she was blessed with working very early on.
\n College was the beginning of the whole instagram world for her. At the beginning, it was just another social media platform she posted her silly friend pictures on. It slowly transitioned for her when she started posting more of herself and it began to do well. The sorority world also launched the instagram content with it being “the” thing to do. Again, fast forward a few years, she has about 20k followers and is interested in doing more modeling and what her life looked like post graduation.
\n
She always had her eye on California but wasn’t sure how she, Gabby from Mount Vernon, Ohio, would ever get there and actually have a place there. Her oldest sister, Jessica, lived in Huntington Beach for 10 years so she would often visit. It became more familiar and enticing each time she went. The goal was to get a job in marketing or finance after graduating college, that was until she found NewMark Models in summer 2018. She was in California for the summer and she wanted to visit agencies while there. She ended up visiting all the main ones in LA but truly connected with Jules NewMark, the owner and creator of NewMark Models! There was just something different about her, her energy and the potential she saw in her.
\n So, she graduated early in fall of 2018 with my degree in Finance. She moved to Los Angeles, CA in January 2019 and she has almost lived there for a full year now. She does modeling full time whilst working remotely for a tech start-up called Aesthetic Record. She loves that she still gets to use my degree in business but can still pursue this new passion of her. If you would have told her that at 22 years old, she would be living in Los Angeles pursuing modeling, working for a tech startup and flourishing as an entrepreneur … she probably would have believed you, but she would’ve asked, well how did she do it?
\n
Her ambition as a young girl was unlike anything else but it’s what has gotten her to where she is today. She constantly has a fire burning inside of her to go further and achieve more, not because she is necessarily looking for the finish line but because she loves the process. She loves to learn, she loves challenges, she loves to push herself. She says yes to everything because you never know where a single opportunity, encounter or experience can lead you.. that is so thrilling to her. She is in an infinite process of goal setting, dream chasing and becoming the best she can be.
\n She, like most, has had many struggles along her journey. With each new goal, at each new point in her life, new struggles arise. She thinks one of the biggest struggles she has faced was her worry of not being good enough. She thinks this insecurity is deeply rooted in another reason why she aspires to achieve so much. Growing up her parents were very loving and supportive with anything she did, so she ultimately thinks this adversity was something she created herself. It is a common problem many people face, especially in this era of social media and constant comparison, but it is one she now has some insight on.
\n
To overcome this adversity, a powerful tool is to self-reflect. When she looks to the past, she feels a lot of gratitude to remember times where she was mentally and physically to then compare that to where she is today. When you self reflect, you go through the journey again and you can see things more clearly. Self reflecting has given her the ability to show herself gratitude, respect and empathy rather than deploying judgement and insecurities. The truth is, everyone is insecure and unsure of themselves. If you bridge that gap with understanding and compassion, the world seems a bit less lonely and you can be kinder to yourself. Her favorite ways to self reflect are to journal, revisit goals and to do audible journaling with this app called Day One!
\n We wanted to know where she would be 10 years from now and this question is always a little tough/silly for her because her mind changes like the wind. She has so many loves in life and places she wants to go. She has direction but no destination because she lives very fluidly. The common answer would be to be financially independent, be in a strong, healthy relationship and to “be happy”. Of course she wants those things too! — but ultimately, in 10 years, she hopes to be happy on her terms by living out her passions through her talents and strengths, alongside the people she loves. We found out she also has a couple poems published as well. She used to think she wanted to be an author!
Her favorite collaborations are ones that directly reflect who she is as a person and the kind of brand she wants to be perceived as. One of her earliest and ongoing partnerships is with an Australian health and wellness brand, Tropeaka. They are plant based, organic, non gmo, cruelty free…. etc. Their supplements actually taste amazing and she loves their marketing/branding! Another collaboration she is proud of is with Meshki! She has always loved their product and girl boss vibe, so to be working with them now is really exciting!
\n But what about dream brands? Tesla – She deeply aligns with Tesla’s values and mission to be more environmentally friendly. She also loves Tesla’s business model. She thinks their marketing and branding is very lucrative and sexy — but they have a market lacking in women. Men are typically the consumer of Tesla products, so to do a collaboration with them would not only empower women to make this transition to electric vehicles for sustainability but to transition it to be the “cool thing” for women too. LuluLemon — she loves their latest marketing images embracing all body types. She is a returning customer so she believes in the brand and the quality. Dr. Axe — One of her favorite holistic doctors who has a brand called Ancient Nutrition. Incredibly intelligent human with science backed products.
In closing, we asked if she can leave one message to her readers what would it be?
\n“My favorite quote, like I mentioned before… “I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my fate.” You can create whatever it is you want in life, you just have to realize everything that does or doesn’t happen is in your hands and you can take the reigns.”
We had the privilege of getting a bit more information on the one and only Kaitlyn Plowman but you might know her on Instagram as @kaitlynplowman. Want to learn more about her story? Find out here.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"It’s time to get to know a little bit about Kaitlyn Plowman. You’ve probably seen her before on Instagram and Twitter with the username @kaitlynplowman. Born on July 24th, 1998 in Albany New York but migrated over to Miami, FL. She is on the fence about what her next destination is and it is between Colorado or California. When it comes to Miami she loves the fast pace of the city, always new opportunities to connect and grow. She dislikes some of the ignorance displayed through individuals and sadly, it upsets her the number of homeless people there are.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B9797MvJDh0/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She’s sort of just like any other young girl whose sort of lost in life right now, not sure where to go or what to do. She finds out most about herself through traveling and seeing different places. She moved here with the intention of getting better in touch with herself and more importantly, to just live while she enjoys it. She went through a dark period of depression recently that really took a huge toll on her and all she wanted to do now is take back her life. Make it one that she loves every single day.
\n
She’s extremely confident, friendly and outgoing so making new friendships and connections has never been too hard for her. She’s trying to grow in all aspects here, fitness, modeling, intellect, you name it. There’s always something she’s working towards and even though she doesn’t quite know what that is, it doesn’t stop her from trying to find it. A few months back she relapsed in her depression, really hard too. She woke up every day angry that she woke up, and she knew that wasn’t her. She knew that wasn’t the life she was meant to live. She found strength through alone time, meditation and connecting with herself in knowing that all emotions, feelings and times are temporary. We would never know the feeling of happiness if we never experienced unhappiness, and that’s something she always had to remind myself. Instead of drowning in her pain and misery, She tried to see it in a way of ‘what is this teaching her and how can she grow?’ It’s always going to be a struggle but it’s a struggle that I know she will rid of one day soon.
\n
We wanted to know where she would be 10 years from now and this is a question that she’s never been able to answer. She’s never been someone with long term goals and that used to stress her out a lot. She found comfort in knowing that she doesn’t have to know what she wants to do years from now, but instead focus on her small milestones from day to day or week to week that she would like to achieve. Wherever she is in 10 years she knows it will be full of love, happiness, wealth and abundance
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EyFFFpax-/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She’s generally an open book, she lets a lot of people get to know the real her. But she’d say most people don’t know that she can surf and that she also hasn’t finished school yet. Even though she isn’t sure if she plans too. She’s worked for Bang energy for the last 2 years which she’s proud to have been a part of since the beginning with them. She’s collaborated with smaller businesses that are eco friendly that seek to bring awareness to our oceans and marine life. But what’s her dream brand to work with? Dolls kill: they are her biggest fashion inspiration in terms of unique and edgy style. 4ocean: as she said, she’s big into marine life and oceans so being able to help clean and rebuild our ecosystems underwater would be a huge success for her. Adidas: for her, in fitness and modeling, that’s the ultimate goal for her is to collaborate with a brand like them.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Dp4G_pkBf/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"We asked if she can share one piece one thing directly to her audience, what would it be? She said:
\n “Your mindset and thoughts control everything. I’m so grateful to have learned this at a young age because it’s shown me that you can switch your life around at any point in time. We spend most of our time in our thoughts so it’s important that what we say and put out is positive. Also, although nice cars, jewelry and top of the line items are enjoyable to have, nothing will ever give you the fulfillment such as being kind or giving to others. It could be in a way as small as a smile, but making others happy is always a fueling factor in life & the sense of fulfillment.”

Let’s take a journey with Taylor Belle and the story that got her to be where she is today. Taking a deeper look beyond the content on social media, story and decisions that makes her special.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Have you seen Taylor Belle before? You might know her on Instagram as @taylorbelle or maybe Twitter @itstaylorbelle. Born on March 24, 1997 in Denver, Colorado. She still lives there but says once she gets her degree she wants to move to Los Angeles for a few years.What she loves most about Denver is it’s home, because no matter where she finds herself, she knows where she is and will probably know someone there too. As much as she finds comfort in being home and knowing everyone it seems – she also dislikes this. She is the most comfortable in new places with new people. She likes changes and fresh starts which is going to be great when she is thriving in Los Angeles.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NcdkjpE-b/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She was raised by my momma and even though she was a young mom and there were many struggles that came with being a single mom – she never saw them. Her biological dad relinquished his parental rights to her when she was 7 and as traumatic as that was she was so blessed to have her mom as such a bright and inspiring role model and her adopted dad who took her in – she had been abandoned, but not really. She was taught that when you work hard and treat people right that the universe will take care of you despite the hardships. But for a long time she had very little direction and no idea what she wanted to do with her time on this Earth. She struggled with severe desperation and anxiety for most of her teen years. After she graduated High School (barely she might add) she knew she wasn’t ready to start her college career. So she started modeling. She had never thought she could pursue modeling or anything like that, as outgoing as she was, her confidence was a façade. Initially, she was shooting with any photographer who could pay her hourly and she loved it for a while, until she didn’t anymore. Her Instagram following at that point was slowly growing and she realized that even though she didn’t have 100+k like so many of the inspiring people she followed, she knew this platform could give her the ability to not just show a highlight reel or a pretty face. She found a passion in advocating for animals and actively promoting her lifestyle. She found a passion in connecting with women around the world and forming an understanding of their hardships and their scenarios. This platform has given her the ability to befriend people she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet in her day to day life. So now instead of feeling lost and not knowing her direction she feels confident she is where she is supposed to be. She is now a full time student and she works on creating content for her own “brand” and the brands she works for that align with her morals.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-Qek8pfhX/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She thinks as much as there have been external struggles the biggest adversity she faced was internal. An internal doubt in who she is and a fear of just being herself because she saw others having success in their lives from being one way. Not being content with being a copy of another is a big lesson she’s learned and she’s actively learning.
\nShe sees herself traveling down the road and connecting with more people. Taylor sees herself implementing her Holistic Health education and helping people heal physical and mental ailments with foods and natural remedies all around the world. Taylor Belle believes she is the biggest extrovert introvert you’ll ever meet. She loves adventure, new experiences and new people but she will also be the first to go off on her own and explore or spend a whole day by herself at home.
\nAs of now she would say every small business she has partnered with and every vegan/cruelty free company, like Vimergy, Iapparel, Miami Fruit, Planet Protein, Vibe Foods, Stitch Boutique, Eat Enlightened, GreenUp Box, oVertone, etc. are great collaborations. The Taylor Belle even a year ago would answer this question differently – She used to work with nearly any company that had the right budget. She now chooses to work with sustainable companies that she genuinely supports – not just for the paycheck.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fZexgpAa1/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"A goal of Taylor’s is to partner with companies like Seventh Generation because she is passionate about eliminating toxic chemicals and working with companies that work towards being sustainable and eco-friendly. She would also LOVE to collaborate with animal sanctuaries – specifically animals who were rescued from slaughterhouses.
\nWe asked her if she can share any piece of advice to her followers what would it be? She told us:
\n“We don’t make it out of this lifetime alive. Don’t waste time worrying about how people will perceive you. Be vulnerable and don’t be content being a copy.”

\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Let’s face it, for a lot of us, working out isn’t fun – it’s, well, work. Even if you manage to make it to the gym, how consistent are you? Routine tends to feel old after a while and that’s the last thing we need when trying to keep ourselves young.
\nMaybe the idea of a gym or exercising with equipment intimidates you. Maybe you’re just curious to find some ways that can make exercise fun. Maybe you just find yourself short on time or budget and are looking for a way to work out at home.
\nWhatever the case, this article is going to explore some options for those that gravitate away from conventional and towards adventurous.
\n\n
10. Get a dog. Already have one? Two? Even better. I don’t think it’s any surprise to anyone just how much energy dogs have.
\nThey will happily be ready to play given any opportunity to do so. My advice is, give them an opportunity to do so. Not only can getting out and being active with your four-legged friend make getting some exercise fun, it can also help to better your state of mind.
\nTake them for a long walk or a brisk run. Better yet, hit the dog park and have all kinds of dogs to play with.
\n\n
09. Dance! There are a crazy amount of dance styles and any one of them is a groovy place to start. Make one up if you want to, the point is simply to get moving.
\nThink of a dancer or the last time you saw someone dancing either in person or in a video. Chances are, they looked to be in fairly good shape.
\nAgain, no exercise equipment is needed here, maybe just some of your favorite songs.
\nNeed some inspiration? Look no further than Panderz (@panderz_) who has made a career out of dancing as a panda. I’m not too sure about what is more fun than that.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/BMFxv5SB3lR/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"08. Video games might be more your style. Hear me out. With advancements in technology, video games have gotten far more immersive and interactive.
\nEvery major gaming console today has exercise games and even video capabilities. Anything from Wii Fit to Zumba Fitness, to EA Sports, to Xbox fitness, consoles have you covered. These games allow you to completely customize your routine and some can even calculate your BMI.
\nIf you have a gaming console, you’ve already got home fitness exercise equipment.

07. Yoga is only as relaxing as you want it to be and is another work out at home option on the list that can be done without needing much of anything. It’s the perfect workout no matter your skill level as there are many different styles and practices.
\nYou may want an instructional video or yoga mat, but that’s about the extent of any exercise equipment. The benefits of yoga also go far beyond physical improvements.
\nTo get started, Claire Fountain (@cbquality) is a great yogi resource to help make exercise fun. Even better, she caters to non-traditional yoga body types.

Surfing may be one of the more challenging mentions on the list, but I promise you, it’s also one of the most fun. Anyone that has even been in the ocean can tell you how much of a workout it is.
\nNow add a giant board that catches the water and drags you with it. Exercise! So for this, you obviously need some equipment but it can all be rented fairly cheap to test the waters, so to speak, before fully diving into the hobby.
\nIt is definitely a workout but surfing is so much fun that you will likely forget about being tired. Would you rather exercise at the gym or at the beach?
\n\n
05. Swim without the surfboard attached to your ankle. Maybe the idea of surfing isn’t for you or maybe you don’t live somewhere that it’s conveniently possible. Luckily, just swimming is one of the absolute best full-body workouts available.
\nWhether you set out to the water specifically to get some exercise, or you just want to cool off, you’re going to burn calories. Summer is the only excuse I need to find a pool or hop in the river with some friends.
\n\n
04. Bowling might also just be the perfect sport for people who hate sports. It’s definitely not an activity that you need to be in excellent shape for so no discouragement there.
\nIf you’ve ever bowled, you know that it’s not nearly as much of a work out as some of these other activities. It is probably one of the most fun ways to get a little exercise though.
\nSome time at the alley gets your circulation going, can boost your metabolism, and lower cholesterol. Gather up some friends, they won’t even know they’re exercising, and careful on the snacks!
\n\n
03. Hiking is a great excuse to get outside and get moving. There’s definitely no exercise equipment or gym needed here. All you need for this one is the great outdoors.
\nEnough water and some comfortable shoes can take you places you never knew existed. This is another workout on the list that is as easy or as difficult as you choose.
\nIf you pick a hike with a summit, you’ll feel accomplished once you’ve reached it and the view is usually worth the trek. If you’re a little more adventurous, try night hiking.
\nIt’s just as much exercise but can be even more fun with nocturnal animals and night-blooming flowers.
\n\n
02. Karate chop your way into better health! Martial arts is a surprisingly great exercise, especially because there are so many variations. You may want to find a martial arts related exercise gym or dojo, but karate can also be used as a way to work out at home.
\nMany workout programs actually incorporate mixed martial arts into their regimen.
\nThe only exercising equipment you’ll need is for this one is determination. Martial arts from a trusted instructor is also helping build a great mentality.
\n\n
01. Rock climbing is an excellent full-body workout that is a lot of fun. A word of caution to anyone that hasn’t tried it, it is quite challenging. Climbing is strangely addictive as you will constantly push yourself to do better.
\nHere you will need some equipment and ideally, a gym if you’re new to the sport. Climbing outside can make the exercise more fun and enjoyable but climbing in a gym can also be a blast.
\nIf you’re a beginner, fear not, there are plenty of routes and climbs designed specifically for you. Climbers are also an amazing community and welcome all fitness and experience levels.
\nSierra Blair-Coyle (@sierrablaircoyl) is the kind of climber that makes climbing look easy. It isn’t. Luckily, she also makes it look really fun and really cool. It is.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mecQyF-3M/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"The ideas listed here are only a small sample of the hundreds of ways to make exercise fun. The main point is to get moving, regardless of if you want to work out at home or have any exercise equipment.
\nHopefully at least one of these sounds like fun to you:
\nAll of these activities are also great ways to socialize and spend time with your friends. Maybe you don’t actually mind working out at the gym and just want to take a friend with for the camaraderie.
\nSometimes when you’re enjoying something you can lose track of how much work you are doing. Don’t overdo it, have fun, and stay healthy.

\nBorn on March 18th, 1992, Elisabetta Di Virgilio (@elliemajesty) grew up in a small town in Chieti, Italy. Currently, she lives in Pescara, Italy – where she loves to work out at the beach and live a healthy lifestyle.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jmU4iCWJP/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"An influencer primarily in the fitness niche, Elisabetta always had big dreams. Since she was little, she knew she wanted to come to America and get an education. A place she has her eyes on is Miami, Florida.
\nAt the age of 21, she saved up enough money to make her dreams become a reality! Ellie moved to Florida and got her degree in Psychology and also her NASM Personal Training Certification.
\nDuring this time, she had the opportunity to start modeling and ended up pursuing her biggest passions – psychology, fitness, nutrition, and photography.
\nUnfortunately, her visa eventually expired and she had to move back to Italy. She currently is working extremely hard to maintain her career as a fitness influencer.

Working out regularly and dieting/ meal prepping are still seen as “extreme”, “fanatic”, “obsessive”. My goal is to introduce the beauty and benefits of fitness to women like me, especially young girls, and motivate them to take care of their body and soul through exercise. In the meantime, I am still extremely motivated to moving back to the USA and immigrate this time!
Nobody’s success is easy, and Ellie faced many challenges to get to where she’s at. Moving to the U.S. all alone without speaking a word of English was one of her biggest challenges.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AWoNMn9tD/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Enrolling in college was even harder for her. At the time she enrolled, she thought she could speak, and understand at least some English. However, it didn’t take her long to realize this was far from the truth.
\nIn reality, she could barely put five elementary sentences together and her use of syntax was absolutely terrible. She could understand pretty much zero English.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"What a dumb idea, I thought. Wanting to go to college in a foreign country, with a less than basic knowledge of the language. From being so overconfident I felt so absolutely self conscious, and I thought that if I were able to pass my classes it would be a miracle.
She was worried about passing her classes. Yet, Ellie stayed strong and stuck with it! Four years later, she graduated from the University of South Florida (USF) with a Bachelors degree in Psychology, a 4.0 GPA, and SUMMA CUM LAUDE.
\nEllie was the student of the year with the highest GPA on campus! She had received an A+ in every single course that she had taken and was even awarded the King O’ Neal Award and inducted into 5 international honors societies.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ynkILHsc_/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"It was extremely hard for her. Sometimes she even cried and felt like giving up. Ellie had many sleepless nights and would sometimes fall asleep on top of her books.
\nAttending university in America was a huge challenge for her, but she was highly motivated. She wanted to prove to herself she could do anything she set her mind to.

Did you know that Ellie is a book worm? She reads about 2-3 books a week! We weren’t too surprised to hear this since she is such an accomplished academic.
\nSo far, she has collaborated with big-name brands such as @PrettyLittleThing, @CLS_Sportswear, @BodyEngineers, @boutinela, and @Fashionnova.
\nShe would love to be part of the teams at Body Engineers, Gym Shark, and Bang because they are in line with her passion and lifestyle. She would also LOVE to collaborate with hotels all around the world because she absolutely enjoys traveling.

Team","editor":"Mikhail Hanson","illustrator":"","excerpt":"The choices we make define who we are and when we continue to make the same choices on a regular basis, it becomes etched into our personality. This works well when we make choices that benefit us in some way.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"The human brain is a strange thing. On the one hand, it gives us the ability to make choices. Every day, you make choices about what you wear, what you eat, who you talk to, etc.
\nThe choices we make define who we are and when we continue to make the same choices on a regular basis, it becomes etched into our personality. This works well when we make choices that benefit us in some way.
\nSometimes though, the choice that initially benefited us turns out to not have been a good long-term decision. Eating sugary cereal for breakfast was awesome as a kid, but for some people, it had the effect of gaining unwanted weight.
\nProcrastinating because you don’t feel like studying for your exam because there’s something better on YouTube to watch is one way to relieve the boredom you feel, but it also means you just lost 10 minutes you could have used to prepare and could lead to you failing your exam.
\nWhen faced with these consequences, some people see the error of their ways. The thought of making that bad choice fills them with dread. The thought of experiencing that bad situation again is enough to stop the behavior.
\nHowever, for others, they have been trapped. They know the right choice to make, but they don’t choose it. For these people, they’ve developed bad habits and as well all know, it’s hard to break a habit.
\nThe correct choice to make is not within their ability. But that’s not how they see it. It’s a different choice: do something you don’t want to do that is hard and uncomfortable, or do something that is easy and feels great.
\nIn a way, it’s almost irrational not to take the easy path.
\nAt least, until the consequences start getting more severe.
\nIt’s difficult to face the idea that you have to do something you don’t want to do, but if you want to break that bad habit, that is what you must do. This almost never works though.
\nThe irony is this: If you had the willpower to break that bad habit, you would have never developed the habit in the first place. Being able to resist the sugary wiles of a candy breakfast or the lure of easy-access entertainment is the very reason you would still have the ability to choose to stop cold turkey when things started to get bad.
\nBut you don’t … and it seems you never needed them to begin with.
\nThe conventional wisdom is this: If you want to change your habits, stop the bad habit entirely and replace it with the better habit. If you feel temptation to go back to the old habit, use your willpower to power through it and continue the new habit.
\nEssentially, it’s hard to break a habit because you don’t have enough willpower.
\nBut perhaps the reason it’s hard to break a habit is because you’re trying to break it all at once.
\nWhat if the conventional wisdom was this: If you want to change your habit, do the good habit 1% more than you did the previous day for one year.
\nThis is what James Clear (@james_clear), the author of the book Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results, would recommend.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUbfKehsag/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Clear likens changing habits to compound interest. At first, you don’t really notice the behavior. It’s like you’re not really doing anything. But that is the brilliance of this method: what would be overwhelming if you did it all at once seems trivial when you gradually do it.
\nIt’s hard to break a habit but if you can commit to doing the good habit 1% more each day for a year, you can minimize (or even bypass entirely) the intensity that made it difficult to do in the first place.
\nEverybody knows Jerry Seinfeld for his humor, but almost nobody knows about his anti-procrastination strategy.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNv-WfH-RS/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"In his book, Clear talks about a simple strategy the famous comedian used: Get a wall calendar that has the entire year on one page. Then, for every day that you start writing, simply place an “X” on the calendar. After a while, you’ll see that long string of “X”’s and you’ll feel good about it. The goal is to not break the chain.
\nThat’s it. Again, it is something simple, but it works because the focus is on small, consistent efforts.
\nA key reason it’s hard to break a habit is that too many people have an all-or-nothing approach: If you fail, it’s over and you should just give up.
\nHowever, keeping the winning streak going is in itself an easy task to do. You don’t need to succeed or fail at what you do just yet. You only need to show up and try. That is the short-term goal: consistency, not results.
\nA lack of motivation to start something is a well-known productivity killer. If a person is struggling to build a new habit, conventional wisdom would say something like: just do it.
\nWhile it’s possible to bypass motivation if you have the will to force yourself to do it, the reality is that not everybody has that kind of willpower, so it appears that many people are out of luck when it comes to doing things without being properly motivated.
\nClear, however, has a different perspective. The solution to starting a new habit is deceptively simple: make it so easy you can’t say no.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8X2wGH1GM/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Instead of trying to create impossible-to-reach goals when you’re first starting out, make a goal that is easy to reach, and celebrate that. For example, if you’re learning a new language, instead of spending several hours trying to learn 30 new vocabulary words, focus on 2 or 3 a day.
\nIt might not seem like you’re learning much at first, but the goal is to commit to an easy, yet consistent, habit. At 2-3 words a day, you will have learned between 730-1095 words in one year with very little effort.
\nOr maybe you need to exercise more but have no motivation. Instead of walking around for a half hour, try walking around for 1 minute each day. When that becomes easy, do it for 2 minutes each day, then 3, 4, etc. Again, it doesn’t matter that you aren’t doing as much yet because you will get there eventually.
\nIt’s hard to break a habit of making excuses when you have no motivation. The trick to get around that is to do something ridiculously easy consistently and with a gradual increase in difficulty.
\nEverybody has habits they do all the time, such as: eating a meal, brushing their teeth, taking a shower, checking email, checking social media, etc. According to Clear, a great way of creating a habit is to “stack” habits together.
\nThe process is straightforward: first, initiate the habit you normally would; then perform the new habit immediately after or during the regular habit.
\nThe reason this tends to work is that the current habits you do are already wired into your brain. You don’t think about doing them, they automatically occur. So what better way and time to introduce a new habit you want to include in your life than at the end of a habit that already is a part of your life?
\nUsing the vocabulary example again, there are a number of ways you could introduce this new habit into your life.
\nFor instance, if you have three meals a day, you can learn one new word during the course of your meal. When you wake up and just before you go to bed, you could learn one word during the time that you brush your teeth.
\nDuring your commute to and from work, you can also learn one word during that time. While you’re walking to and from your class, you can learn one word during that time.
\nMany people unsuccessfully try to change their behavior by trying to break a bad habit cold turkey. This is usually due to a lack of willpower.
\nNot surprisingly, people quickly learn it’s hard to break a habit and so they give up and put up with the long-term negative consequences which not only hurt their life but also discourage them from even trying to change.
\nThe solution is threefold: first, increase the chance you will engage in the habit by doing it during or at the end of a daily habit you already have; second, make the initial barrier to success so simple that it takes no motivation to succeed while gradually increasing the difficulty over time; finally, view success as engaging in the habit consistently instead of unrealistic goals that require intense willpower and drive to succeed.
\nIf you can commit to those three things, you will have a rewarding behavior that will last a lifetime.
