BA.Women Podcast with Emma Sievers


Mar 27, 2020

Can you image waking up one day and not remember anything?  Ella Dorner is famously known for receiving Retrograde Amnesia at age 15 (a fancy way of saying she forgot every memory she had ever made).

She was forced to re-learn everything from colors and numbers to the difference between humans and animals; not to mention, all of her closest friends and family. After years of re-learning she shares her story of recovery, giving an inside look to our everyday world from the perspective of a child.

Yes Ellas story is “crazy” but it’s her perspective on life now that I wanted to bring her on this show.  It’s crazy enough to shift your life. Which makes absolutely sense as to why she is now a motivational speaker.
