Say It Anyway
— Jas Rawlinson

An Unapologetic Guide to Owning Your Story and Healing Out Loud and Online.

(Coming 2026)

When a stranger threatened violence against domestic violence advocate Jas Rawlinson, for championing a message that survivors can heal and find joyful, purposeful lives…

She didn’t self-silence or get angry.

Instead, Jas wrote Say It Anyway — a bold and unapologetic 13-step guide to healing out loud and online.

In a culture where trauma is no longer hidden in the shadows, and where millions share their healing journeys every day (TikTok alone has over 3.6M posts on #recovery), many yearn for raw and real stories of hope and recovery.

But here’s what most miss:

Before we can stand on stage or speak our truth, we must first do the work to heal, protect our hearts, and ensure our voices help rather than harm.

Written with empathy and edge, and bold chapters like 'You Are Not Here to Be a Doormat', 'Shame Is Not Yours to Carry' and 'You Are Worthy of Good Things'…

…Jas Rawlinson blends lived experience as a neurodivergent survivor with research and insights from global experts to empower others to safely step up and speak out.

From boundary setting and people pleasing, to self-sabotage and navigating trolls, Say It Anyway is both a roadmap to healing and a guide to using your voice to create global change. 

Some of the important questions Say It Anyway explores:

  • In a world obsessed with trauma and “Recovery Influencers”, how do I share my story safely?

  • How do I strike the right balance between giving myself grace for what wasn’t my fault, and taking radical responsibility for my future?

  • How can I begin to gently work through my triggers, so they don’t control every part of my life?

  • I’ve spent a lifetime settling, pleasing and bending over backwards to put everyone else first. How do I even start becoming the main character of my own life.
