Episode 6 — Overcoming Educational Interruptions —with Hanna Stotland
Flunking out, suspension, dropping out, getting kicked out. All are very scary situations to be in for both parents and students. Though, they don’t have to be everything and high school and college doesn’t have to be everything. They can be used as launching pads to make the rest of life easier but they don’t have to be put out to be as crucial as they are usually expected to be. One bad thing or situation doesn’t doesn’t always mean one’s entire future and chance to get into what they want to do, is thrown into the trash. People get to the top of steep mountains all the time. It’s the question of how hard you’re willing to work at it and if you have the right support.
Hanna Stotland’s academic trek started when she flunked out of high school. Once she got her G.E.D, she managed to get into one community college and went on to pursue Harvard College. After a handful of attempts, Hanna got accepted into Harvard College, which was a huge turn around for her. The climb there wasn’t easy, but it was possible, which most would never think to be possible after flunking out of high school. Not only did Hanna get into Harvard, she went to their law school and graduated with a J.D. degree. As Hanna started to share her story with others, many were surprised and eager to ask her advice. She started to see the need for this type of support for parents and young adults and began her own practice. Hanna now works as an independent educational consultant specializing in crisis management, where she helps students overcome educational interruptions they are experiencing.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Hanna joins Joanna to share her journey going from flunking out of high school to getting into Harvard Law School all on her own. Hanna is an example to parents that the change they hope to see for their student, is more than possible. Listen in for insight on how Hanna has come to find something she finds rewarding in many ways and that her clients and students find completely transforming in their lives.

Episode 2 — You Are Not Meant To Do All Of This Alone — with Tom Williams
As a young adult, you don’t have to just ball up your fists, grit your teeth and try to make it through whatever you’re going through. It’s okay to take time for you. To work on yourself. To actually get to a place where you can come up with a plan and then execute that set plan. You don’t have to try to fake it until you make it all alone, just to get your degree ‘on time’ and that piece of paper because you were told to. Sending a kid out with a backpack and 1 therapy session isn’t always enough. Sometimes there needs to be more attention and a more family orientated program.
Tom Williams, Community Outreach Specialist for Red Oak Recovery, would have greatly benefited going to treatment and finding an alternate plan in his early adulthood. After Tom’s father passed at the age of 15, he quickly turned to substances to try to help him put on a mask and act like nothing was really wrong. He continued to do so through the rest of high school and for another 7 years in college. Looking back, Tim wishes that he had made the choice to take himself out of college and work on bettering himself, but sees it as an experience that brought him to where he is today. Tom started his career in the mental health field as an admission’s counselor for a Wilderness Therapy program. There Tom found himself in many different roles and ultimately as the Director of Admissions and Utilization Review. In 2019, he transitioned over to outreach for Red Oak Recovery, a trauma informed program that served adolescents and young adults. Through personal and anecdotal experience, Tom’s passion for people has compelled him to help others on their personal journey through recovery. There is nothing more special for Tim than getting the opportunity to help someone find peace and happiness in their life.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Tim joins Joanna to share his journey going from the troubled young person, who once needed something like Red Oak Recovery the majority of his early adult years, to now working at Red Oak, to help others, help themselves. Tom’s tough personal experience going through his hardships alone, allows him to be a light for young adults. Listen in for insight on how Tom’s passion for connecting with people has compelled him to help others on their personal journey through recovery, working to understand themselves and discover where their individual happiness lies.
