28. Belief Is a Lifeline: Misty Carson on Survival, Success & Showing Up for Others
This week on Joy of the Hang, we sit down with the remarkable Misty Carson—Business Development Executive, philanthropist, and living proof that where you start is not where you have to stay. Misty opens up about surviving childhood sexual abuse, becoming pregnant and homeless at 16, and forging her own path after being emancipated as a teen. She dropped out of high school, earned her GED, and eventually a Master’s degree—defying every odd stacked against her. Misty shares how one person believing in her made all the difference, and why she now pays that forward through her work with at-risk girls, the Junior League, and the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation. This is a raw, powerful conversation about resilience, purpose, and the transformative power of support.
