I still can't believe this interview actually happened. I fell in love with Ellie's voice before I had the chance to meet her and fall in love with her as a human. In this episode, she shares what it was like being a kid in high school who knew with explicit certainty what she wanted to be when she grew up. She talks about the importance of setting and enforcing boundaries, sticking up for yourself, and the transformative power of taking time off the grid to connect with yourself.
I didn’t know it at the time, but so much of our conversation ties into her latest single, Woman, released in October. If you haven’t already, search for "Ellie Banke" wherever you listen to music and give it a spin—it’s the perfect prequel to this episode.
Ellie also opens up about redefining femininity and womanhood on her own terms, breaking free from societal norms, and embracing the freedom that comes with it.
This is a conversation you don’t want to miss. If you love it as much as I do, please share, follow, and stream Ellie’s music—she deserves all the love and listens!
