We are proud to introduce Marian University Online student, Stephanie Fee!

For much of my life, I was surviving rather than living. Childhood trauma, domestic violence, addiction, and years of choices made from places of pain eventually led me to incarceration. Prison could have been where my story ended. Instead, it became where I finally began to understand that my past did not have to decide my future.
One of the most important parts of that change was the Women’s College Partnership. Education gave me something I had lost long before I was incarcerated: confidence in myself. I began to see that I was intelligent, capable, and worthy of having dreams. College opened a door I never believed would be available to someone with my history. More importantly, it gave me the courage to walk through it.

When I returned home, I carried that confidence with me. I continued my education, committed myself to recovery, and began turning the hardest parts of my life into something that could help others.

Today, I work as a Peer Support Provider at Haven’s Holistic Healing, where I have the privilege of walking alongside people as they rebuild their lives. I understand what it feels like to start over, with a past that follows you into job applications, relationships, opportunities, and even how you see yourself. I also know what can happen when one person believes in you until you learn to believe in yourself. (Continued in the comments.)
