Life's Twists And Turns with Mistie Layne

Mistie Layne is on a mission to make TRANSPARENCY a game-changer
in the world.


After going from medical school to prison for killing somebody in
a car accident behind a horrific crack


cocaine addiction, she used writing to pull herself up and save
her own life. Her best-selling book, What


Goes Up, was written from behind bars while she faced a
forty-year prison sentence.


After serving 2.5 years in prison, she returned to society and
rebuilt her relationships, life and career. Nine years later, on


the exact same day her wreck killed somebody, her first
grandchild was born with severe brain damage


from a birth injury.


Immediately, she blamed herself and thought it was her punishment
for her past.


She became distant and the GUILT of it all put her back into her
past where she felt toxic all over again.


Mistie realized she was letting her past rob her of her future
and was tired of hiding behind SHAME and


GUILT.


She decided it was time to become TRANSPARENT about her
experiences in hopes of teaching


others about overcoming their worst to live their best and also
about self-forgiveness. With newfound


clarity of her WHY, she rewrote her book, changing it from a dark
tone of anger and blame to one of


accountability and forgiveness.


Mistie is now an award-winning speaker, best-selling author,
successful


host of Dare 2 Share with Mistie Layne talk show, and host of her
Write 2 Ignite Womens


Empowerment Retreats, where she teaches how to use writing as
therapy. She founded the


#BethatONE movement which encourages others to step up and share
their life experiences with


transparency to educate others so we can JUDGE less and MENTOR
more.


She has a full time Nuclear Medicine career, was recently named
3rd in the Next Global Impactor


competition and serves as Vice President on the Chemobuddies 4
Life non-profit board.
