Title: From Darkness to Purpose: One Woman’s Journey of Survival and Empowerment
Kristen Ellingson’s life story is a testament to resilience, faith, and transformation. Growing up in a dysfunctional, abusive environment, Kristen faced trauma, addiction, and hardship from a young age. Despite the odds, she found her way to sobriety later in life, turning her pain into purpose.
Her journey took an unexpected turn when chronic illness struck. Kristen battled Lyme disease, neurological issues, arthritis, and almost lost her mobility. She faced near-paralysis, hair loss, and the profound challenge of rebuilding her life while embracing her new reality. But rather than letting her circumstances define her, Kristen chose empowerment and advocacy.
Today, she is an ambassador for the Global Lyme Alliance, helping women navigate chronic illness with grace and strength. She shares her story of overcoming abuse, addiction, and severe illness to inspire hope and resilience. Kristen has been invited to serve on nonprofit boards, mentors others living with Lyme disease, and encourages women to embrace their journeys, no matter how challenging.
Her story is not just one of survival—it’s about transformation, faith, and using personal struggle as a platform to help others. Kristen’s message resonates with anyone who has faced adversity, made hard choices to reclaim their life, and discovered purpose through giving back. Her story is perfect for TV interviews, inspirational segments, and programs that celebrate human courage, advocacy, and the power of hope.
Kristen’s authenticity, faith, and resilience make her an unforgettable guest. Her journey speaks to millions of viewers looking for stories of triumph, empowerment, and the incredible ways we can rise above life’s most difficult challenges.
“Every battle I’ve fought became a testimony I’ll one day share.”
