Mining For My Voice: How A Meek And Scared Boy Uncovered A World-Rattling Voice

by Ryan Hall

Children raised in a world of familial trauma and health scares can develop pretty deep defense and survival mechanisms to simply exist in a scary and ever-changing world. For Ryan Hall, his defense mechanism was that he became silent. On days when he didn’t have to go to school, he would spend upwards of 22 hours a day in his room behind a closed door. He would play video games and watch TV instead of sharing his voice and sharing himself. Silent and in his bedroom were where Ryan felt safe. Mining For My Voice is the debut memoir by bestselling author and coach Ryan D. Hall. In Mining For My Voice , Ryan vulnerably shares about events and people in his life who taught him that his voice didn't matter as well as the events, people, and creatures who taught him that his voice could rattle the foundation of humanity. Mining For My Voice is about how a meek and terrified little boy grew into a man who uncovered his world-rattling voice.
