Are you sick and tired of being held back by the chains of your past? Of others dictating your life … telling you what to say, how to act, and even how to feel?

Are you searching for a way to silence the inner critic, breakthrough limiting beliefs, and come "home" to your true, authentic self? A way to find your voice and speak your truth? A way to laugh, love, and play again?

Are you ready to step into a future you design? 

If you're looking for actionable tools and strategies to take back your power and create a life you love, then you're in the right place!

I've done it again and again.

And so have my guests.

I’m Ellie Shefi. I am a survivor of rape and domestic abuse. I’ve been homeless, lived in my car, and eaten the food restaurants were throwing away at the end of the night. I'm a cancer survivor and medical miracle who has been defying the doctors' death deadlines for decades. I’ve endured countless medical surgeries—often with little hope of survival. At my breaking point, I even begged God to just let me die. (Now that is hitting rock bottom!)

Yet, today, I am a limitless thriver. I am a successful attorney, entrepreneur, #1 international best-selling and award-winning author, sought-after international speaker, strategist, media host, publisher, philanthropist, mentor, coach, and consultant. I have mastered turning fear into fuel, and pain into purpose, and now I am blessed to live joyful life I love.

You see … Like so many of us, I, too, have scars—emotional, mental, and physical. But throughout my journey, I have learned that I am not my scars! I have healed and moved beyond the scars and the wounds and burdens that caused them. I have cast off the chains of the past and set myself free. I no longer allow my scars to hold me back…to deny me my personal path toward a life of authenticity and abundance.

I'm here to help you do the same.
