Ellie opened up about how she takes care of her mental health in an interview with SI Swim from 2023. She says that she says some mantras to herself each day. “A mantra that I tell myself every day is that things, good or bad, are not happening to me, but they’re happening for me, and that everything’s happening for a reason,” she says. “And if you don’t know the reason, that means you’re [in] the happening.”

Ellie makes her health a priority. “I’ve gone through a lot of different changes with my own mental health, my own physical body and everything, but showing up as the healthiest version of myself is such a priority to me, especially after a time recently where I struggled with that,” she said to SI Swim. “Feeling strong and healthy is most important to me inside and out and mentally and physically, and I finally feel like that, and so I’m very proud to show that.”

Ellie loves to walk to not just keep herself in shape, but also to benefit her mental health. “Something I do daily for my mental health is go on at least a three-mile walk,” she revealed to SI Swim. “No matter where I am, with coffee and just clear my [mind]… it really starts my day perfectly.”

In an interview with SI Swim from last year, Ellie shared some of her wellness tips and secrets. “I think writing them down in a place that holds you accountable, and constantly like checking them off, whether that list is on your phone, in a notebook, but somewhere writing them down it just makes you stick to them more,” she says. “When you’re making your daily routine and those are something that you can check off your list, it feels like a very empowering feeling even if you do nothing else in your day but do your wellness habits you kind of feel really accomplished and good.”
She Makes Soup

Ellie makes sure to eat a healthy diet, and she likes to cook meals for herself. One thing she likes to make is soup. In an interview with SI Swim, Ellie revealed her recipe for spicy sausage soup with kale and potato. “It was so yummy and really, really easy to make,” she says. “I love this, too, because you can really prep it and have it for the week. I feel like especially when I’m anxious or just want to feel a little bit relaxed and at peace, soup always helps me with that. There’s also something so comforting about just being in the kitchen, listening to my favorite peaceful country music and just making a good old soup. It never misses every single time. Making soup is literally my favorite thing.”
