From free fall to life: stuntwoman Miriam Höller impresses as an ambassador for courage and freedom

03. February 2025 – Mandy Weinand

Miriam Höller began her career where others couldn’t even watch: on shaky ropes, in burning buildings and behind the wheel of speeding cars. As a stuntwoman, she made a name for herself in an industry dominated by men. She was always driven by her courage and passion. But life had other plans.

Everything changed in 2016: Miriam suffered two serious losses within the space of a few months. After a serious accident, she had to give up her job as a stuntwoman, and she lost her long-term partner in a plane crash.

“It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under my feet. I had to relearn how to stand – and how to walk.” Miriam Höller

But it was precisely from this darkness that her new life emerged. Miriam Höller decided to use her experiences to encourage others. Today, she performs on stages around the world, shares her story and inspires people to deal with strokes of fate and take life into their own hands.

Miriam Höller about Resilience, courage and freedom: her messages as a speaker

Miriam Höller doesn’t just talk about resilience, she embodies it. Her talks are authentic, emotional and at the same time full of practical tips. She combines her experience from the world of stunts with her knowledge as an entrepreneur and her unshakeable will to live. This attitude runs through all her messages:

“You can’t always decide what happens to you. But you can decide how you deal with it.”  – Miriam Höller

This is what she talks about:

  • How to get through crises: Miriam shares the paths she herself has taken to get back up after deep losses. She conveys that true strength does not lie in victory, but in moving on after a defeat.
  • The courage to be free: as a stuntwoman, she learned to give up control – a concept that she applies to life. Her statement, “Freedom begins in the mind – and sometimes you have to let go to find it,” has inspired many.
  • A mixture of inspiration and pragmatism: her stories are not only emotionally moving, but also offer concrete strategies for everyday life.

“I knew I had to do it.”

One of her favorite examples of courage and starting over is the moment she decided to get back on a plane. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I knew I had to do it so I wouldn’t let fear rule me.” She shares this story on stage with an intensity that captivates and touches the audience.
