Elssa Kenfack is many things to many people and rooms but one thing that she hopes she is remembered as she walks out of rooms or fades into memories of others is that she loves the Lord. Elssa has served in many capacities as a therapist, community development advocate, creative, friend, daughter, sister and in all of those roles, she has tried to embody three main principles:

• 1. That we are all uniquely created and purposed for something significant here on this earth by God

• 2. That being your boldest, brightest, dullest, purest version of yourself is always the best choice

• And 3. That there is intersectionality in all of the parts of us.

In this episode, Elssa talks about the unconventional journey to wellness and how she shares that with her platform, The Wellthy Living Project. She also gives tips on how to stay mentally healthy during the holiday season.
