Review of (dis)Empowered
[Following is a volunteer review of "(dis)Empowered" by Ellen Busch.]
"(dis)Empowered" by Ellen Busch, despite having the author's master’s degree, struggled to find employment and was trapped in an abusive marriage. She felt powerless and defeated, but during a moment of despair, she surrendered to a higher power, finding an inner strength and spiritual connection. This turning point led her to escape her toxic relationship and rebuild her life. The experience taught her the importance of self-love, integrity, and continuous personal growth. She realized that surrendering is not a defeat but a path to authenticity and inner peace.
Ellen woke up knowing she needed to escape her abusive marriage. She sought help from her parents and a lawyer, who advised her to leave immediately and secretly. Over weeks, she discreetly packed and planned. Ellen participated in sheepdog training in Encinitas, California, to overcome her fear of firearms and learn self-defense. Under the guidance of Coach Rob, she faced her fears and gained confidence in using a firearm. The training included various self-defense techniques, highlighting the importance of preparedness and self-protection.
I found Ellen Busch's memoir, "(dis)Empowered" by Ellen Busch, deeply moving and inspiring. The book captivated me with its honesty and the author's remarkable resilience. Ellen's journey from feeling utterly defeated to reclaiming her power and transforming her life is incredibly powerful. This book teaches the importance of self-care, courage, and the necessity of seeking help in abusive situations.
I particularly enjoyed Ellen's candidness about her struggles with dyslexia and how the education system failed her. Her determination to earn not just a bachelor's degree but also a master's, despite being labeled as brain damaged, is truly admirable. Her escape from an abusive marriage and her subsequent path to healing and empowerment were both heartbreaking and uplifting. For which it deserves 5 out of 5 stars without having any dislikes from my side.
I appreciated the practical wisdom Ellen shares throughout the book. Her insights into self-love, surrendering to a higher power, and the continuous process of personal growth resonated deeply with me. The way she connects her traumatic experiences to her ultimate transformation offers hope and encouragement to anyone facing similar challenges. Ellen's journey exemplifies the human spirit's capacity to triumph over challenges and draw strength from vulnerability. Her memoir is not just a recounting of events but a guide to reclaiming one's life and living authentically. The book's editing is immaculate.
I recommend this book for those readers who enjoy inspirational memoirs. Especially those overcoming adversity. It's perfect for anyone seeking motivation, personal growth, and empowerment. Particularly individuals facing educational or personal challenges.
