What do you say when someone asks if you're okay, and you're not?

For most of her life, Trish Donovan said fine. Through a twenty-year career in professional motorsports, through the loss of colleagues and friends to racing accidents, through job losses and unexpected setbacks, and through a Stage 1A lung cancer diagnosis in 2014, she kept smiling and saying she was fine.

She wasn't fine.

The Courage to Start Again: Permission to Not Be Fine (And a Way Forward) is the book she wished she'd had during her hardest seasons. Part memoir, part practical guide, it gives readers permission to stop pretending to be okay and start healing on their own timeline instead of everyone else's.

Through seven core themes, Donovan explores the weight of other people's expectations, the power of trusting your own inner compass, how to keep moving forward when you don't believe in yourself yet, what real self-care actually looks like, and how to find the courage to be seen even when vulnerability feels terrifying.

This is not a book about having it all figured out. It's an honest, sometimes messy, deeply human roadmap for anyone who has been through something hard and is still trying to find their way forward. For anyone who is tired of being told they should be over it by now. For anyone who needs permission to not be fine.

Because you are not broken. Your story is still being written.
