Why I Went In is the story of how Laura Hanson went from hero to zero. It began when she left her job as a SWAT Operator on the Virginia Beach Police Department to pursue a higher purpose for her life. Six months after leaving she was living in the room above the garage at her parents' house, her wife left her, and she had no source of income. She felt like she had nothing to show for her life and the memories of past successes haunted her as she asked herself how this was possible. While alone, she recalled a major event in her life, when she responded to an active shooter on May 31, 2019, at Building 2 in the Virginia Beach municipal complex. She thought of all the other dangerous calls she responded to both on SWAT and as a patrol officer. She realized she was in the midst of an existential crisis and needed answers. This scenario was very familiar to her because she had already spent the majority of her life seeking answers to questions about her purpose as a result of being adopted. This environment she found herself in served as a catalyst for finding the answers to questions she hadn't come up with yet, namely how to deal with excruciating internal pain in her life. Although Hanson lacked a spiritual practice until two months before this book was written, she writes about how developing a relationship with God, which she refers to as Infinite Intelligence, transformed her life and taught her how to overcome pain in the world. She wrote this book because it felt true to her purpose. She wrote it for you so that you can experience impactful parts of her journey in the hopes that her journey helps you navigate through pain in your journey.

Autorenporträt
Author. Certified High Performance Coach. Former Police Officer and SWAT Team Operator Laura Hanson dedicated her life to personal development at a young age because she saw it as an outlet to explore what her purpose was in life. Laura suffered internally with being given up for adoption and looked for every opportunity to understand her place in this world. Hampton Roads, Virginia has been her home base for the majority of her life, and she spent nearly 8 years serving as a police officer on the Virginia Beach Police Department. As an officer, she also served as the only female on the full-time SWAT Team for over 4 years. While on SWAT, Hanson received the Silver Cross for responding to an active shooter at Building 2 on May 31, 2019, and was also part of the team's sniper cell. After leaving the police department, Laura became a Certified High Performance Coach and passionately helps others connect with their true purpose in life. Hanson believes her purpose in life is to build courage in others so that they may overcome their fears and pain. Her first memoir, Why I Went In, is an excellent demonstration of how overcoming fear and pain paves the way to living a fulfilled and meaningful life filled with love, connection, and peace.
