Welcome to the Finding Hope podcast. I'm your host, Laura Bell, and today's episode, "Lizzie Ens FINAL," features the extraordinary journey of Lizzie Ens, a courageous woman who sought freedom and self-discovery beyond the life she knew in an Amish community. Lizzie, one of 18 siblings, grew up without indoor plumbing or electricity and faced the daunting challenge of leaving her strict Amish community—a community seemingly frozen in the 1860s without a choice to return once someone left.
Despite the risks, Lizzie crafted a secret escape plan, which she'll share with us, including the heart-pounding moments from leaving a note for her family to the ultimate leap of faith off a roof, guided by nothing more than hope and the desire for a different future.
Lizzie's story doesn't stop at her departure from the Amish life; she has gone on to become the CEO and co-founder of Miss Commando, a non-toxic beauty company. She also runs an online telehealth coaching business, focusing on hormones, thyroid health, and gut healing.
Throughout the episode, Lizzie and I will delve into the value of simplicity in cooking, the impact of societal misconceptions about health, and the importance of self-love and compassion in our personal journeys. Whether discussing the way we nurture our bodies or how we view wellness, Lizzie's insights are rooted in her unique experiences and her drive to empower others.
Her story encompasses the struggles she faced, including her diagnosis with Hashimoto's, and how embracing her Amish heritage's principles of self-sufficiency and natural living helped her face these challenges head-on. We'll also explore the importance of non-toxic living, the significance of self-care post-divorce, and the beautiful reunion that mended the bond between Lizzie and her mother.
Join us for this incredible conversation about breaking free from constraints, the power of natural healing, and the pursuit of wellness in the modern world. This is an episode you won't want to miss, so let's dive in.
