Meet Ell,
Now we’ve got the blog concept out the way, I guess it would be a pretty good idea to introduce myself. My names Ell, and I’m your fairy godmother… Joking! Like we believe in that.
But I would genuinely love to support you on your journey because for me personally – I’ve had a pretty rocky one when it comes to love. In fact, I think it’s fair to say I’ve not had the best track record with men…
At the age of fifteen, I was assaulted by the person who I thought was my first true love. It was a huge trauma that forced me to hit rock bottom, questioning everyone and everything.
I then got into my first serious relationship at sixteen, hoping to heal, only for it to break down two years down the line, finding out he’d also cheated on me. Brilliant. A real kick in the stomach.
By nineteen then, I thought my luck was turning… I met a man who I thought would finally make me feel whole again. I got engaged at twenty two, was planning my dream wedding set to be married by twenty five and truly felt ready to settle down.
Only it didn’t get that far… because my hopes were ripped apart, I discovered just lie after lie and was forced to walk away and re-build myself once more. Uh huh, epic sob story, I know…
But actually, I don’t feel sad about this. I feel thankful. Everything that’s happened has only helped to shape me into the strong, determined woman I am today. I have turned my past struggles into strength. I’ve discovered my life purpose. And now, I am lucky enough to be living it…
See, I didn’t want anyone to ever feel as broken or alone as I once did. I also hated how helpless I felt, how powerless and vulnerable.
So I completely immersed myself in learning the depths of breakups, dating and relationships – the key challenges, the psychology that is all linked in with it, but most importantly, the solutions: what you can do. I read books, I worked out key strategies, I developed fundamental processes and -just to cover all areas– gained coaching qualifications with the Institute of Counselling and the Robbins-Madanes Coaching Academy. After that, I then launched Forgetting Fairytales.
Established in just 2020, Forgetting Fairytales has rapidly grown to over 280,000 monthly readers, reaching over 3.36 MILLION people every single year. We have over 200+ FREE support articles, a new growing community support group and offer private breakup, dating & relationship coaching, due to popular demand.
I am lucky enough to work with men and women, all over the world, to resolve even the most challenging situations, or deeply embedded issues. So no matter how lost or alone you may feel right now, I want you to know, hand on heart, it can all start to change… And it will… Beginning now…
