Linda Ellerbee

Linda Ellerbee is a woman of spirit and determination who has enlightened and entertained us for more than 25 years. Revered as a pioneer, a survivor and role model for young and old, Ellerbee charms sell-out audiences across the country. She speaks to them about surviving a changing world (the only thing harder than learning from experience is not learning from experience.) with the heart intact. They come to hear her trademark wit and wisdom on everything from family life, friendship, getting fired (sometimes I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.), building a career, starting a company, discovering love, politics, feminism, surviving breast cancer, recovering from alcoholism, overcoming obstacles (only dead fish swim with the stream), climbing mountains and making noise (silence is not what I do best.). Ellerbee gives audiences the gift of laughter (a good time to laugh is any time you can.). Hers is a message of hope (only the young can afford hopelessness. Only the young have time for it.) and victory (nobody can ever know what happens next, but we can never, ever be so scared about what happens next that it keeps us from enjoying the life around us.). There is a reason Linda Ellerbee gets standing ovations. She is a real person speaking to real people, to the heart from the heart.
