Today’s guest is Ellen Greenberg. a designer and the owner and director of Quick Culture, a global, art tour and cultural travel company. Among her other roles, Ellen has also been an instructor at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, has guest lectured at UCLA, holds Docent Program certificates at both The Getty Center and LACMA, and is the author of Inside Chocolate, a pictorial art book. In this moving episode, she shares her phoenix tale of how she realized she was meant to be more than just a wife and a mother, and how that became a catalyst for her divorce. Notwithstanding, Ellen never quit and her incredible story here today is one that is sure to inspire and motivate.

She begins by discussing her first divorce as the challenging event that reshaped her life. As a result of this brutal and difficult split in the midst of the 1970s Women’s Movement, Ellen picked up her life post-divorce and moved 3000 miles to LA to start over. She discusses being a single mother before remarrying, which brought its own struggles, as well as her second divorce. She talks about the self doubt she experienced and why she decided never to make one thing the most important in her life. An avid fan of Mark Twain, Ellen finishes by sharing that she would like to have a sit down with him to ask him questions about his works.

Episode Highlights:

  • The challenging event that redirected the course of Ellen’s life
  • Ellen’s difficult divorce
  • Moving to LA and starting a new job
  • The emotional impact of the divorce on Ellen’s kids
  • Ellen’s challenges in her new marriage and second divorce
  • Battling self-doubt
  • A sit-down with Mark Twain

Quotes:

“That was the worst thing I ever went through. He didn't want the marriage to end. He tried to do everything nasty...even to the point of saying that he was going to commit suicide if I left him.”

“I was driven, wanting to succeed.”

“I finally came to the conclusion that I didn't pick them. They picked me and I agreed.”

“I was never going to let one thing be the most important thing in my life.”

“Don’t make anything that important.”

“I'm not Superwoman. I'm only human. And I don't know, I do the best I can.”
