BIO: 

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.

 

Mistie realized she was letting her past rob her of her future and was tired of hiding behind SHAME and GUILT. She decided to become TRANSPARENT about her experiences in hopes of teaching others about overcoming their worst to live their best and about self-forgiveness. She rewrote her book, changing it from anger and blame to accountability and forgiveness.

 

Mistie is an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, hosts Dare 2 Share with Mistie Layne talk show, and hosts Write 2 Ignite Women's Empowerment Retreat's, where she teaches 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 maintains a Nuclear Medicine career, placed 3rd in the Next Global Impactor competition and serves as VP on the Chemobuddies 4 Life non-profit board.
