by Dr. Laura Dupiton

PREORDER NOW | COMING FALL 2026

You’ve spent so much of your life being strong for everyone else.

Showing up. Holding it together. Taking care of others. Saying yes when you wanted to say no.

But somewhere along the way, you may have learned to abandon yourself in order to be everything everyone else needed you to be.

It’s time to come home to yourself.

I Am My Own is a guide for Black women who are ready to recognize and release patterns of self-abandonment, reconnect with who they are, and reclaim the power that has always belonged to them.

Rooted in an understanding of how historical trauma continues to shape the experiences of Black women today, Dr. Laura Dupiton explores patterns such as self-silencing, difficulty setting boundaries, refusing to ask for help, and quietly suffering while caring for others.

Through practical lessons, therapeutic approaches, and opportunities for reflection, I Am My Own will help you explore how to:

• Recognize and release patterns of self-abandonment
• Set healthier boundaries and embrace the power of saying no
• Reconnect with your body, feelings, needs, and desires
• Rediscover joy, softness, curiosity, and wonder
• Rebuild confidence and deepen self-trust
• Take ownership of your story and embody your worth

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about reconnecting with the beauty, authenticity, and magic that have been within you all along.

Are you ready to come home to yourself?
