"You are not broken - you're becoming."

"Healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means remembering who you were before the world told you who to be."

Choosing yourself isn't selfish - it's survival.

Are you tired of putting everyone else first? Do you feel drained by toxic relationships, buried grief, or old wounds you never asked for?

In I Choose Me, J.P. Hayes shares an honest, uplifting journey of healing from childhood trauma, emotional abuse, grief, and burnout and finding your way back to the most important relationship of all: the one with yourself.

Through raw reflections and gentle humor, Hayes opens up about the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding your life after loss, manipulation, or being told you were "too much." Whether you're escaping the grip of a narcissist, setting boundaries, or simply learning how to feel again, this book offers encouragement, clarity, and hope.

Inside, you'll find powerful chapters like:

• A Journey Back to Yourself - Acknowledging the Pain
• Grief - The First Weight We Learn to Carry
