008: "I Reclaimed Myself" - Hannah Sward's Memoir of Rejection & Redemption

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. 🌟 Guest featured: Hannah Sward 🌐 Show Notes: www.othersideofsuccess.com/008 📺 Watch on YouTube 🌟 Hosted by Ella Lucas-Averett 🎧 Check out Ella's women's wellness podcast, On Air with Ella. ------------------------------------------ ------------------------ NOMINATE A GUEST: do you have (or know of) an epic story of failure on the path to success?

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. - a LIVE BETTER MEDIA production -
