Choose Yourself: Rewriting Your Story and Building the Life You Want

By Linda Jacobs

Are you exhausted from living for everyone else's approval? Tired of sacrificing yourself to keep others comfortable? Ready to stop performing a version of yourself that isn't even you?

This book is your roadmap out of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and living according to someone else's script-and into a life that's authentically, unapologetically yours.

Inside, you'll discover:

- Why you keep seeking validation-and how to build unshakeable self-trust that doesn't depend on others' opinions

- The real cost of living someone else's script-and the exact steps to reclaim your own story

- How to set boundaries without guilt-and develop the courage to disappoint people when choosing yourself requires it

- The framework for separating your worth from your accomplishments-so you can finally stop chasing achievement to feel enough

- A proven 90-day blueprint for turning your vision into reality-without waiting for perfect conditions or permission from anyone

- The art of self-prioritization-with daily practices that put you first without apology, even when life gets chaotic

- How to heal your relationship with your past self-releasing the shame and regret that's been holding you back

What makes this book different:

This isn't just theory or inspiration-it's a complete system for transformation. Each chapter includes guided exercises, reflection spaces, and actionable practices designed to help you immediately apply what you're learning. You'll move from understanding what needs to change to actually changing it.

You'll learn to identify your non-negotiables, design a life that doesn't require your constant sacrifice, surround yourself with people and environments that support your growth, and maintain your transformation when life inevitably gets hard.
