Dawn and I were on a call and she mentioned that some in her network may find this genuinely valuable. What she sent you is not a cold pitch. It's a purpose-built page for people already doing the work in survivor space, so you can decide in three minutes whether any of this is worth another five.
The short version: I've written a six-book memoir series drawn from nearly twenty years of my own journals, documenting assaults I didn't call assaults and rapes I didn't call rape, until I was thirty-five. It documents the addiction, mental health issues, eating disorder, and self-worth issues that came on as a result. The healing journey took nearly two decades. And it holds the redemption arcs of at least three other characters that mirror my own, which will land for so many people who have carried these things quietly.
I'm looking for organizations doing meaningful work in this space to partner with in ways that serve their mission first. Not sponsors. Not a marketing lift for a book. Actual mission-to-mission partnership, at whatever depth makes sense for you.
If Dawn vouches for something, it's worth the three minutes. Thank her later.

Choose Me is a six-book memoir series drawn from nearly twenty years of journals. It is the record of assaults and rapes that I didn't truly see as assaults or rapes until I was thirty-five, an eating disorder I documented for a decade, self-worth issues that were a cause and effect, mental health and intimacy issues that resulted from all of it, a marriage that was never right, and the man I finally married eighteen years after our first day of college, with a redemption arc of his own. Book One, Wanting, is shooting for a launch this winter, and the series rolls out through 2028.
Recognition started to arrive the day I finally read the journals back. On a plane home from a work event. Six volumes across two flights. The truth had been sitting on the page the whole time, in my own handwriting, written by a girl who did not have the words yet for what was happening to her. That is the rare thing about this series: the evidence is contemporaneous. Not memoir reconstructed from memory. The actual pages. It truly arrived after I processed all twenty years of those journals with AI, and finally gave myself a place to process, ask the hard questions, and explore the emotions without fear of judgment, gossip, or minimization.
The story isn't six books of trauma porn. It's a story of success through challenges. I built a multiple seven-figure business through all of it, which matters here because it means the story does not end in open wound. It ends in proof. The books are written as a novel, entertaining, with real journal entries woven throughout, poetry between chapters, and point-of-view sections from other characters in the story. They open with a letter from a mother to a daughter, and that frame holds the entire series. I am telling the truth about the girl I was so my own girl never has to learn it the hard way.
Because the story sits at the intersection of unnamed assault, addiction, mental health, disordered eating, and self-worth, it lands in a lot of adjacent worlds. Here are the six most likely to find something genuinely usable. Your work probably fits at least one, and often two.
Rape crisis centers, sexual assault survivor services, RAINN-adjacent organizations, DV shelters, human trafficking recovery, survivor-led programs. The people doing the direct work of walking alongside someone through the after.
Sober curious and gray-area-drinking communities, women's recovery programs, high-functioning-addiction platforms, faith-based recovery, harm reduction and criminal-justice-reform orgs working with women.
Women's mental health platforms, high-functioning depression programs, trauma-informed therapy networks, self-worth and confidence-building organizations, teen and young adult mental health services.
Eating disorder recovery programs, body image organizations, adolescent and young adult ED services, EDAW-aligned platforms, parents-of-daughters programs, intuitive eating communities.
SANE-certified forensic nurses, crimes-against-children units, advocate certification programs, forensic educators, law enforcement trauma training, MDT teams, trauma-informed care trainers.
Christian women's ministries doing recovery and healing work, faith-based shelters, church-adjacent survivor programs, chaplaincy in DV and trafficking contexts, faith-and-recovery organizations. Wherever testimony and hope are core to the work.
Adjacent fits also welcomed: young women's empowerment programs, mother-daughter and generational-pattern organizations, aligned-mission product businesses. If your work touches any of the themes above, there's likely a partnership shape that fits.
None of these require anyone to become a marketing arm for a book. Every one is designed to serve the organization first. Pick what fits, ignore what doesn't.
A single email or social post to your community offering a significantly discounted copy of Book One, framed as a resource your organization has vetted and recommends. No hard sell. Just: "this book named a pattern many of you have been carrying without language for, we thought you should know it exists."
And this goes both ways. The default assumption is I promote you back. I'll post about your organization and tag you, list you as a recommended resource in the back of Book One and every subsequent book, feature you on choosemeseries.com, and send your work to my own email list. So a single email to your community becomes a durable, cross-directional referral relationship, not a one-way ask.
Books at wholesale or better for organizations that want to keep copies in their offices, shelters, or programs, or hand them to the women they serve. Faith-based ministries have historically loved this model because it turns a book into a discipleship resource that survivors can pass on to other survivors.
Before Book One prints, I want it in the hands of people who love to read, who are hungry for a real story that is unique and touches on the work they do, and who would be willing to provide an honest endorsement afterward. Not clinical review. Just readers reading a book and telling me what they thought.
iamseen.ai is my AI-based journaling app, currently in beta (full details below). I would love to offer it to your members or community as beta testers, with the direct value being a free, private, safety-guardrailed journaling tool designed specifically for people carrying things they haven't said out loud, and the return being real feedback that helps us make it better before wide release.
The books are my story, told the way I lived it, so they are not clinically scrubbed. But the companion workbook resources being built to coincide with the series, and the iamseen.ai app itself, absolutely should be. Those are the pieces where language matters clinically, where a wrong prompt could unintentionally harm, and where field-level review from people who actually do this work is the real safeguard.
I'm a trained speaker. I've stood on the Social Media Marketing World main stage and led rooms of a thousand-plus. I can bring the survivor story, the recognition arc, the letter-to-a-daughter frame, or the AI-as-recognition angle to any kind of room, and I calibrate for the audience. A survivor gathering. A professional-training conference. A donor event. A Christian women's ministry gathering. A business-leader summit. Different rooms, same throughline.
I want to build workbook-style companion resources to coincide with the books, plus continue developing iamseen.ai's clinical safety protocols. I'm assembling a small board of practitioners to help shape both, so nothing is theoretical and nothing lands wrong. This is a long-term, low-frequency commitment, not a heavy lift.
iamseen.ai is an AI-based journaling app I built alongside the books. It came out of the process of feeding my own twenty years of journals into AI and having the experience of finally seeing my own patterns clearly. That process, more than anything else in my life, was what let me name what had happened to me. The app is designed to give that recognition experience to other people, safely.
It is not therapy. It is not a chatbot. It is a private journaling tool with memory, pattern recognition, and hard guardrails, built specifically for people who have things they have never said out loud, and might never say to another human. It is currently in beta, and I am looking for real users with real things to work through who can help me make it better before it goes wide.
If you know someone who has been quietly using ChatGPT or Claude as a therapist for things they've never said out loud, they'll recognize themselves in this. Send them the link. Beta feedback from people with real things to work through is exactly what makes this better.
Nonprofit and mission-driven partnerships often stall because the partner on the other side of the table doesn't have the infrastructure to follow through. That's not this. Here's what I actually do outside of writing.
