I'm Rising

Take back your Power, your Glorious and Rise

Bestselling author Michelle Stradford follows "When Love Rising" with her second book in the "Rising" series. I'm Rising is a compelling collection of thought-provoking prose.

"I'm Rising" is an empowering self-love poetry book that re-ignites our drive to become the best version of ourselves. It encourages us to face and conquer our fears and pain to build inner strength and resilience. The powerful prose urges us to own and celebrate our power, with a call to action to harness our self-confidence to achieve the goals we were destined to shatter.

With messages applicable to both women and men, these words inspire us all to stretch and grow to our fullest potential. Parts of this book were written over the last several years while the Me-Too movement was taking shape. During that time, the author relived both the personal and professional abuses of power she had faced. She forced herself to process the frustrations, sense of betrayal, and feelings of helplessness to understand both the life-long impact and the lessons they offered before she could move past them.

Poems such as I'm Rising, The Revolt and Free Your Swagger are just a few example pieces that are sure to leave readers feeling uplifted and ready to adopt a verse or two as their anthem.

Whether in search of a connection, shared experiences, healing thoughts, or encouragement, this self-help collection offers ready salves to our daily life experiences. I'm Rising is organized into three chapters entitled Challenges, Evolving, and Rising to aid in finding those particular words meant for us.
