008: "I reclaimed myself" - Hannah Sward's Memoir of Rejection & Redemption
Manage episode 447469531 series 3595862
Hannah Sward was abandoned by her mother, and lived with her poet father on an island with no stores or cars. Kidnapped and molested by a stranger at age six, she grew up to be a stripper and a sex worker with a taste for crystal meth - with stops along the way for silent gurus, sugar daddies, and drinking in the public bathroom before therapy sessions.
Painstakingly honest, Hannah shares her journey from innocence to a dark existence, and beyond it to a world of empowerment and reclaiming her voice.

✨The Other Side of Success is where we share stories of people who win big - and when they failed hard. By sharing true tales from the trenches, we expose an important truth of success: that failure along the way is not only inevitable, but required.
This is true in business, in entrepreneurship, in relationships, and in personal accomplishment - really, in the effort to build ANYTHING that matters.
It's not about glorifying failure, it's about humanizing success. Because, behind every success story, there's a tale of epic failure waiting to be told.
