Meet Ellie Shoja

By the time Ellie Shoja was 12 years old, she had moved over 30 times, lived on three continents, spent a year-and-a-half in refugee camps in Germany, and ran away from her international con man father. She also suffered from severe nervous tics and entertained suicidal thoughts.

In her early twenties, the pain and isolation Ellie experienced became unbearable, and she realized that if she wasn’t going to take her own life, she had to learn to live. What began as a search for healing became a decade and a half exploration of psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and self-discovery.

Ellie’s discoveries ignited her passion for understanding what it takes to thrive through adversity, what practical resiliency looks like, the healing powers of creativity, and the mental discipline required for transformation. She founded Peace Unleashed™, a personal transformation and publishing company, to provide products, courses, and services that help individuals and groups level up holistically.

Ellie has won awards for her writing, ghostwritten bestselling books in a variety of genres for her celebrity clients, and appeared in numerous interviews and publications. She speaks domestically and internationally.  

Ellie is also a ballroom dancer, muralist, two time TEDx speaker, songwriter, and film, television, and commercial producer. She has even appeared in an episode of the Impractical Jokers on TruTV.
