Becoming Me - From Survival to Self: A Guide for Women Ready to Rise - Paperback

by Shawnta Auston (Author)

Becoming Me: From Survival to Self - A Guide for Women Ready to Rise is a reflective personal growth and emotional healing book for women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of responsibility, caretaking, and putting others first. It speaks to women in midlife or transition who sense that the life they built to meet expectations no longer reflects who they are or who they are becoming.

Blending honest storytelling with guided reflection, Becoming Me supports women navigating burnout, life transitions, emotional fatigue, and seasons of self-rediscovery. Instead of quick fixes, it invites readers to slow down, examine long-held patterns, and reconnect with their own voice, needs, and inner direction.

Through a compassionate and grounded approach, the author explores identity, self-trust, boundaries, people-pleasing, and the emotional cost of always being strong and responsible. Readers are gently encouraged to notice where they have learned to silence themselves, carry more than their share, or measure their worth through performance.

With reflection prompts woven throughout, Becoming Me creates space for honest self-inquiry and intentional forward movement. It is designed to meet women where they are - whether they are experiencing burnout, major change, or a quiet sense that something needs to shift.

For a deeper, more interactive experience, pair this book with Becoming Me: The Companion Journal - A Transformational Guide for Women Ready to Rise, a guided reflection journal that helps you process and live the work.

Written by Shawnta Auston, creator of On Purpose with Shawnta, a community for women ready to rise from survival to self.

Ideal for women seeking clarity, personal renewal, and a deeper connection to themselves as they move into the next season of life with greater intention, softness, and self-trust.
