Not the kind that comes with a clear roadmap.
The kind that feels disorienting. Unsettling.
Like the ground under your feet has shifted
….and you’re not sure where to stand yet.
New writing and launch updates are shared first through the Inner Circle.
Maybe something ended.
Maybe something is beginning.
Maybe everything looks fine on the outside,
but inside you feel unsure, stretched, or quietly overwhelmed.
Life transitions rarely announce themselves politely.
They arrive all at once—
layered, emotional, and deeply personal.
This book is the manual I couldn’t find when I needed it most.
The Courage to Choose Yourself was written for anyone navigating change—one transition or many and trying to stay grounded while life rearranges itself.
It’s for moments when:
This book doesn’t rush you forward.
It helps you orient yourself first.
Because when you understand where you are,
choosing what’s next becomes easier.
Rather than treating change as one dramatic moment, this book maps the natural phases we move through when something is ending and something new is forming.
You don’t need to memorize the cycles.
You’ll recognize yourself inside them.
This structure becomes an internal compass helping you understand
what’s being asked of you now, without forcing answers too early.
“The only one who ever truly needs to choose you — is you.”
Mimi Ikonn, The Courage to Choose Yourself
This isn’t a book you rush through and put back on the shelf. It’s a companion you return to when you’re in between.
For moments like…
– before a difficult decision
– after a conversation that changed something
– during a season where you feel between identities
– when you need to remember what you already know
Each section includes reflective exercises and prompts designed to help you work with the transition you’re in — not against it.
The book meets you where you are,
and lets you move at your own pace.
Pre-ordering The Courage to Choose Yourself isn’t just reserving a copy.
It’s an invitation into a deeper, guided experience.
When you pre-order, you’re welcomed into the Inner Circle, which includes:
This is a course on navigating life transitions – anchored in the book, but expanded through live connection and guidance.
The book gives you the language.
The Inner Circle helps you live it.
When you stop fighting the transition you’re in:
Not because everything is solved,
but because you know how to be with what’s unfolding.
You’re in a season of change.
You feel disoriented, but sense there’s meaning here.
You want guidance without pressure.
You’re ready to choose yourself without abandoning others.
You want a framework that helps you trust the process you’re in.
This book is here to walk with you through it.
