Igniting a Spark in Your Life

• June 2017
Ella Sinclair is an interior designer and artist based in Vancouver. Although grounded and content today, Ella's teen years were fraught with struggle, anguish, and isolation. Ella speaks openly about how early traumas, bullying, and an unhealthy desire for control and perfectionism lead her to anorexia, and the long difficult fight to regain her health and sanity. She opens up about how easy it is to shut down and barricade yourself from life, rather than facing your realities – no matter how painful they may be. Now an ardent optimist, Ella shares her story and hard-earned wisdom, hoping in turn to both inspire and show others how life delivers its lessons in strange packages.
