In this episode of You Look Happier, Ellie is joined by professional boxer Brad Goldsmith for a raw and honest conversation about sacrifice, pressure, and what it really takes to chase a dream.

Brad opens up about making the life-changing decision to walk away from his apprenticeship to give boxing absolutely everything, despite the uncertainty that came with it. We talk about the fear of taking risks, the mindset needed to keep going when things get tough, and the reality behind life as a fighter outside of the ring.

In this powerful episode of You Look Happier, I’m joined by Danneka Fivey, who opens up about her time in prison and the reality of what that experience was truly like.
