Reinventing Your Life Through the Lens of Motherhood With Visual Artist Ellen Friedlander

We’re hitting rewind with this encore replay of the Mom to MORE® debut episode, featuring a bold reinvention that set the tone for everything that followed. 

Meet Ellen Friedlander. Originally from Upstate New York, Ellen has lived a life of creativity, movement and reinvention. She has lived in numerous cities across the United States, as well as fifteen years abroad in Hong Kong where she raised her two children. After moving back to the States with her kids and becoming an empty-nester, Ellen moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue her lifelong dream of being an artist. Ellen’s career has seen international success as a result of her unwavering commitment to her craft and her community.

Join Sharon and Ellen as they discuss the many rewards of motherhood, the importance of finding time everyday to do what you love, being resilient when starting something new, finding your voice and ultimately, your MORE.

Ellen's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to pursue your passion, kickstart a previous career or chart an entirely new path.  As a stay-at-home mom, you can find a way to make your dreams a reality. It will take time, effort and deep belief in yourself - but the transformation that follows is proof that your second act can be your most powerful yet.
