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.

Some of the important questions that 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?

“Perfect for readers of How To Be Free (Shaka Senghor), Speaking Out (Tara Moss), and Main Character Energy (Bianca Hunt), this is the guide I wished I'd had when I was younger…

The voice of a compassionate but fierce older sister, the one who reminds you that you are stronger, braver and more capable than you’ve ever been told. I want to make the road to healing a little gentler for others.”

Students learnt about the red flags of unhealthy relationships, boundary-setting, and the power of advocacy as a pathway for discovering your purpose.  It was a thoroughly engaged presentation on a vitally important topic."
