Lara Love Hardin is a four-time New York Times bestselling collaborative writer… yet for years, she lived in constant fear that someone would Google her and uncover her checkered past.
When a worsening addiction from prescribed painkillers lead to smoking heroin, Lara began stealing neighbors' credit cards and other identifying information to buy groceries and gas after her cash went to buying drugs. Caught, Lara was convicted of 32 felonies and was sent to a year in County Jail, drug treatment and supervised probation.
Today, Lara joins us to share her downward spiral from soccer mom to opioid addict to jailhouse shot-caller and her unlikely comeback as a highly successful ghostwriter.
Hear Lara share how she learned to forgive herself and others, navigate life as a felon on probation, prove to herself that she is more good than bad, and much more.
My friends, today's conversation is about lying and stealing. But more importantly it's about healing, redemption and how we all have the power to rewrite our narratives to embrace the many lives we're meant to live.
