A sneak peek of Jas Rawlinson’s upcoming work, ‘Say It Anyway.’

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, unapologetic guide to healing out loud and online. 

In a culture where survival is no longer something we hide in the shadows, many yearn for real and raw stories of hope and recovery.

But while survivor storytelling can be empowering, it also has a dark side: without boundaries, sharing can become just another way we remain stuck in the past…or open ourselves up to online abuse or exploitation. 

As an award-winning speaker, trusted advocate and expert in survivor storytelling, Jas knows this first hand – but despite it all, she remains strong, raising her voice to empower the next generation of changemakers. 

Say It Anyway is a rallying cry for anyone who's been through ... something.

More than a healing guide, it’s a roadmap to speaking up and leading with purpose, whether you’re opening up to friends and family or sharing your story with a global following.

‘Say It Anyway’ asks:

  • In a world obsessed with trauma, how do we share our stories safely? 

  • How can you turn your past pain into purpose — or even a platform — whilst protecting your wellbeing?

  • When you’ve lived through the unimaginable, is recovery actually possible? (Spoiler alert: Yes!)

Through her signature blend of empathetic leadership and sensitive storytelling, Jas draws on personal stories from her life — and those of global thought leaders — to invite readers to see their adversities not as a burden, but as a catalyst for extraordinary purpose and power.
