Episode notes

The Samis are so excited to sit down with model and body positivity activist, Ella Halikas, someone they deeply admire and a partner in a new exciting chapter for FORM. In this episode, Ella shares her journey to becoming the self-named “CEO of confidence,” opening up about how she reshaped her relationship with her body, unlearned society’s narrow definitions of beauty, and chose to define confidence on her own terms.

Together, they explore how to step out of comparison and practical ways to maintain a sense of self. Ella reflects on her experience as a model, including how she’s built resilience and protected her confidence in an industry that demands thick skin, and shares how she’s navigated loss and grief over the past year. Along the way, the Samis share more about FORM’s upcoming extended sizing launch and Ella’s meaningful involvement in shaping the process.

This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence is cultivated and showing up as yourself is a practice worth choosing every day.
