Going Through Cancer at a Young Age, Finding Strength and Acceptance, and Building a Life Abroad with Ellen Young

Today we talk with Ellen Young about her journey through several major transitions. From going through cancer as a young teenager and living with a resulting disability to studying women's studies in college, to navigating cultural and personal shifts including marrying young, going through a divorce, and leaving the LDS church, Ellen shares how these experiences shaped her life and how she came to a place of acceptance a growth. Ellen reflects on how traveling abroad helped her find herself again, how she has built a life abroad, and how she learned to embrace her story and the challenges and unexpected beauty found in life's transitions. 

 

We loved this thoughtful conversation about resilience, identity, and growth through life's turns and are honored Ellen joined us to share her story.
