In this inspiring conversation, Ben, Dani, and Ellie dive into what it’s really like to pursue natural bodybuilding as a teenager—while balancing school, mental health, veganism, and a first competition prep.

Ellie shares her athletic background, her transition from running to strength training, how veganism became part of her identity, and how bodybuilding became a stabilizing force during a difficult period in her life. She opens up about navigating prep during high school, working with a coach, dealing with social pressures, and finding confidence on stage.

The conversation also explores the realities of teen divisions, the challenges of reverse dieting, moving into college life as a bodybuilder, and her future goals in the sport. A powerful mix of vulnerability, resilience, and the beauty of finding purpose through bodybuilding.
