Real People, Real Business is my online show featuring business owners and entrepreneurs who are in the trenches, creating and growing their dream businesses, one step at a time. Sometimes we need inspiration and answers from folks who are closer to where we are, and who share the same experiences, constraints, challenges and opportunities that we do.
I’m Stephanie, and I work with experienced business owners who are trying to figure out what’s next in their businesses. They have pushed themselves to achieve enough success that they know their business is viable, but feel they have run out of options for growth. I help them create a new vision and strategy for their business so that they can feel completely aligned, excited and energized about their new direction with a clear path for financial and personal growth.

Ellen Elizabeth is an author, sober mom to twins, recovery advocate, and infertility warrior who helps women dealing with addiction and infertility and the feelings of inadequacy that result from these conditions.
In this episode, Ellen shares her courageous journey from addiction to sobriety, her battle with infertility, how those challenges inspired her to help other women struggling with those same afflictions, and how she’s writing a self-help memoir to help more people.
As a full-time mom to twins, Ellen discusses how she manages her schedule to balance mom time and work time. She goes into detail about the memoir she’s writing, Split Ends, which delves into the mental illness she’s had since she was a child, her journey through addition and infertility, and how she hopes her memoir will help end the stigma around those issues that many women face today but that people don’t like talking about.
Ellen talks about how sobriety has impacted the path she’s on today, how she’s learned the importance of being authentic, her hopes for her book and the opportunities it will open up for her to get in front of a larger audience and serve more people, and how she would like to become a go-to source of support by teaching and coaching people through some of the darkest parts of their lives with addiction and infertility,
Ellen discusses her approach for helping people struggling with staying sober, the problem she sees with the “mommy wine culture” that’s so prevalent today, the movement she sees into the “sober curious stage,” what some of the signs are that you may be drinking too much, and the 2 things that have been most helpful for her in overcoming her challenges.
Finally, Ellen shares what her dreams are for the future, the things she’s doing in her business now to lay the foundation for growth, the importance of resilience and pushing through fear, and the one difference she sees between what’s out there in the online world vs. what is real and her 2 pieces of advice for overcoming it.
