Meet Amy Lee Ellowitz,
ISW #18303
I collaborate with courageous individuals who are committed to embracing adversity with grace and vulnerability in order to take control of their own lives with enthusiasm and confidence.
Major life disruptors provide us with a unique opportunity to look deep within and do the work necessary to become the best possible version of ourselves—if we are willing to put in the effort!
I have experienced a series of major lifequakes, beginning with the sudden death of my dad when he was only twenty-eight and I was five years old. Although both traumatic and life changing, losing my dad taught me that beauty and grace can be found right alongside adversity. I felt as though the floor had been ripped out from underneath me, yet I was repeatedly comforted by so many people who came out of the woodwork to support and care for me and my family. My early childhood trauma left a profound and lasting impact on the way I view humanity, approach adversity, and taught me the true meaning of compassion.
Ending an unhealthy intimate relationship at the age of nineteen left me feeling damaged and irretrievably broken. I discovered that my power to heal depended on the way in which I decided to narrate my story. I made a conscious effort to emphasize what I had learned about myself through the relationship as well as what I had gained by leaving. In doing so, I discovered that I was not defined by what happened to me, but by the way in which I chose to heal and move on.
