Elli's Story:

Elli didn't set out to start a book club- she set out to survive after becoming a single mother to 2 children- and finding herself in severe debt. Navigating heavy challenges that others around her didn't understand. She quickly felt isolated in her journey.

After years of navigating relationships marked by narcissistic dynamics, paired with severe postpartum depression and repeated emotional challenges, Elli found herself searching for answers that traditional conversations and advice couldn't give her. She was exhausted, disconnected from herself, and deeply craving clarity, healing, and truth. 

Almost by accident, she stumbled into a book club- and everything changed. 

Through reading, reflecting, and hearing other women's perspective, Elli began to understand her patterns, rebuild her self-worth, and reconnect with her inner voice. The pages she read gave language to feelings she had never been able to name. The conversations reminded her she wasn't broken broken- she was becoming.

Now, Elli has created her own book club with one clear intention: to offer others the same safe, supportive, life-changing space she once needed herself.

What began as a personal search for answers has grown into a community rooted in self-love, growth, and real transformation- where women don't just read books, they rewrite their stories.

Testimonials:

"I'm sooo proud of you! You are killing it right now! The breakup idea is so good, I would have loved that when I was going through it, that's like a million dollar idea! The parenting one is also a fantastic idea, I can't wait for it! I just got back on my medicine the other day and my doctor said therapy would be good to get started and all I could think of is that I have my own therapist/ life coach and that's you! You're so calm and silly and relatable, I absolutely love listening to the advice and stories you talk about."

"Elli is a North Star in my life! She radiates positivity, shines brightly, and exemplifies genuine care through her actions time and time again. Elli's uplifting mindset is a safety blanket- I frequently lean into through my journey of single motherhood. I have been in raw puddles of tears, anger, and denial throughout the years, with Elli. I've  never felt judged for even a second expressing these emotions with her. She's been there- she get's it.

The one thing us fragile mama's need is ELLI and her book club, it will change you!!"

- With love, Ella

"Month by month, I watched myself bloom.: I joined this club feeling stuck, lost, and a little broken. But every book cracked me open in a new way. I started showing up differently- for myself, my kids, my dreams. This club isn't just about reading- it's about remembering who you are.

-With love, Elli 🧡
