A quiet moment of terror, standing at a trash can in an Airbnb, led Ellen to a choice that sparked changing pretty much everything about her life. Bigger changes than a kitchen remodel in the middle of a global pandemic.

In this installment of Tell Me a Story, Ellen shares her experience starting anxiety medication, finding support in unique places (like an astrologer with an MBA) and how it led her to take new directions in her life and work.

Ellen discusses mental health challenges in this story, puts specific language to those challenges and shares some actions that worked for her. If you’re working through anxiety, depression or other challenges, please don’t wait to reach out for some help.

Have a story of your own to share? Please let me know. I’d love to hear it.
