Reclaim Your Identity. Rewrite the Script. Remember Who You Were Before the World Told You Who to Be.

You weren’t born broken.
You became what the world kept telling you you had to be—tough, silent, reactive, numb. But underneath the labels, the mistakes, and the masks is a version of you that still knows the truth.

Who Am I, Really? is Book 1 in the Built from the Inside series, a trauma-informed social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum designed for justice-impacted individuals, people in reentry, and anyone rebuilding after trauma. This isn’t about self-help fluff—it’s about identity work that sticks.

This book helps you:

Trace who you were taught to be vs. who you really are

Unpack the early stories that shaped your behavior

Break the false identities that no longer serve you

Begin rewriting your self-definition based on truth, not trauma

Build a foundation for all future growth—in business, in healing, and in leadership

Each chapter includes:

3 core lessons

A real-life case study

A powerful personal tool (like the Identity Audit, Story Rewrite Sheet, and Self-Name Declaration)

Exercises and reflections

A capstone project to declare and define who you’re becoming

Whether you’ve spent years in the system, lost yourself trying to survive, or are just waking up to the question, “Who am I really?”—this book meets you with truth, clarity, and a path forward.

This is where the work begins. Because until you know who you are, you’ll keep living like who you’re not.
