Permission to Thrive: Hannah Stauber’s Journey from Oppression to Liberation
Manage episode 498250677 series 3644218
Hi!! I would love to hear from you!
What happens when a woman raised in an isolated religious community finds the courage to walk away from everything she's ever known? In this deeply moving conversation, Hannah Stauber shares her remarkable journey from being married at 14 as the seventh wife to a 42-year-old man, to becoming a family nurse practitioner, author, and women's advocate.
Hannah's story defies imagination – leaving her polygamous marriage at 34 with only an eighth-grade education, she earned her GED and completed multiple nursing degrees within nine years, overcoming dyslexia and ADHD along the way. But the most inspiring aspect isn't just what she accomplished, but how she did it.
With extraordinary grace, Hannah reveals the micro-habits that made her transformation possible. A five-minute daily meditation. The healing power of running as both movement and therapy. The gradual building of self-trust. These seemingly small practices created the foundation for monumental change in her life. As Hannah explains, "If I can go from a child bride with an eighth-grade education to become a family nurse practitioner, you can do hard things too."
Throughout our conversation, Hannah shares insights from her book "Give Yourself Permission: Overcoming Female Oppression" that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt trapped by circumstances or limited by others' expectations. Her perspective on unconditional self-acceptance offers a revolutionary approach to healing: "We're worthy of love just because we're human," she reminds us – a simple truth with profound implications.
Now specializing in functional medicine and pursuing additional certification as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Hannah is developing a coaching program to help women reclaim their authentic voices. Her journey demonstrates that no matter how constrained our beginnings, we all possess the capacity for profound self-reinvention when we give ourselves permission to thrive.
