In her teens, poet and entrepreneur Ryanna Hammond felt life slipping out of reach. By 28, she’d published seven books, launched the lifestyle brand All With Heart, healed generational wounds—and is now preparing for motherhood. In this episode of ADAPT or Die, Ryanna walks host Andreas Pettersson through the inner work that turned a private journal into a public mission.

  • Challenge → Years of depression, disordered eating, and self-doubt left Ryanna stuck in numbing routines.
  • Adaptation → A four-month, full-time therapy program—mixing CBT, breath-work, group sessions, and daily writing—taught her radical honesty and vulnerability. With a nudge from a friend, those pages became her debut collection, We Are Human.
  • Success → The book cracked Amazon’s Poetry Top 100, snowballed into six more titles, and inspired her coaching practice helping others “live all with heart.” Next up: guiding Andreas’ forthcoming leadership book.

🔥 60-Second Hot Seat: The mindset flip that dissolves “sleazy” sales anxiety—reframe it as helping, not selling—and Ryanna’s one rule for anyone feeling stuck: be brutally, beautifully honest with yourself.
