Stronger: What Didn't Kill Me, Made Me

"Stronger: What Didn't Kill Me, Made Me" by Nicola Hanney

In 2017, defying all odds, Nicola Hanney survived a terminal cancer diagnosis and resolved to live life to the fullest. When she met Garda Paul Moody on a dating app, Nicola believed her dreams were finally coming true. She could never have imagined, however, that she would be thrust into a new nightmare—a four-year ordeal of violence and coercive control at his hands.

Despite doctors telling her she would never conceive due to the physical toll of cancer; Nicola beat the odds again and became pregnant with Moody's child. Trapped in an unrelenting cycle of abuse, the baby she had always wished for gave her hope for a better future. Then, midway through her pregnancy, she discovered a lump in her breast. The cancer had returned.

In Stronger: What Didn't Kill Me, Made Me, Nicola courageously recounts her journey through unimaginable abuse and aggressive, recurring illness. She reveals the insidious nature of coercive control, detailing how Moody manipulated her, threatened her loved ones, and isolated her from support.

Through it all, Nicola’s resilience and determination never faltered. She proved herself stronger than the disease that threatened her life, stronger than the man who sought to destroy her, and stronger than the hardships she faced. This is her story of survival, resilience, and hope.
