The Honest Mic··5 October 2026·18 min

About this episode

Tammy Corwin was abandoned at the age of two. Later adopted. At twenty-two, she was convicted and sentenced to sixty years in prison for a crime she did not commit. She entered prison as a young woman and did not walk back into the free world until she was fifty-two. Thirty years passed while life continued outside those walls. And yet — within twelve months of her release, she built her flagship company into a six-figure business. Today, Tammy is an author, inspirational speaker, television producer, founder and CEO of Words Matter Publishing, and the founder of the I Am Dragonfly movement. Her signature message is "Becoming Who He Created You to Be." In this episode of The Honest Mic, Tammy talks about what it felt like to walk out of prison at fifty-two, how she built a business from nothing, and why purpose doesn't have an expiration date. If you believe you've waited too long to pursue your dream, this conversation is for you. Connect with Tammy: Website: IAmDragonfly.netBooks, Speaking, Coaching: Available through website
