Inside the book
You've spent years showing up for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, you stopped recognizing yourself.
Back to Me is an invitation to set down the weight you were never meant to carry and rediscover the person you were before the world convinced you to become someone else. Honest stories from disaster response and everyday life, research that proves you were never the only one, and tools to walk yourself home.
