Duration: 50 min
Ellen Busch is an American author, coach, and speaker best known for her memoir, (dis)Empowered: How I Turned an Academic Death Sentence Into My Life’s Greatest Adventure. Diagnosed with dyslexia as a child, Ellen overcame tremendous odds to become a champion for dyslexia awareness and domestic abuse survivors. Her professional background includes roles in the medical technology industry, and she holds a bachelor’s in Health Science and an MBA. Ellen also trains in elite personal development programs led by Navy SEALs and is a certified Unbeatable Mind coach. She currently lives in Colorado, embracing her love for skiing and the outdoors.

“From academic death sentence to unstoppable resilience, Ellen Busch reveals how she rewrote her life story.”

In this powerful and transformative episode, host Stacey sits down with Ellen Busch—author, coach, speaker, and survivor—to explore her remarkable journey of overcoming dyslexia, surviving an abusive marriage, and forging a life of empowerment. Diagnosed with dyslexia at a time when it was poorly understood, Ellen was told she had no future. 

With the unwavering support of her parents, she defied expectations, earning advanced degrees and excelling in healthcare and technology. Her story takes a turn through deep personal trauma, including psychological abuse, before she discovers strength, healing, and transformation through rigorous self-development programs, including training with retired Navy SEALs. Ellen’s story is one of hope, resilience, and an unshakable belief that it’s never too late to reclaim your power.
