Ellen Pompeo: Believe In Yourself!

Ellen Pompeo heads to a studio on Friday (March 18) in Los Angeles.

The 40-year-old actress carried a Whole Foods bag and a few magazines with her.

Ellen, who covers Self magazine this month, told the mag that she hopes her daughter Stella believes in herself growing up.

“I hope Stella has more self-confidence than I did as a child,” Ellen shared. “Because when you believe in yourself and have a strong sense of self-worth, you don’t look for validation from others.”
