Before you buy another gift, bake another batch of cookies to donate, or put yourself last one more time—pause.
This season, give yourself the one thing you’ve been trained to ignore: your own becoming.
The holidays can be noisy with expectations—family roles, old patterns, and the weight of “shoulds.” But The Sovereign Self is your invitation to step out of the swirl and into a life led by joy, purpose, and radical self-trust.
By the time we reach our sixties, we’ve lived entire eras of love, loss, caregiving, building, and doing. And yet, beneath the busyness of December, something quieter calls: What if the next chapter is yours—and yours alone?
Stacey Dutton’s deeply honest and empowering guide illuminates how the physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions of aging can become openings—not endings. A doorway into a new, grounded form of power.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
Reclaim joy and vitality that belongs fully to you
Build confidence rooted in wisdom, not expectation
Release outdated roles and rewrite the story of who you are
Awaken a deeper sense of purpose, beauty, and belonging
If the holidays bring up reflection—or even restlessness—this book meets you where you are and gently leads you forward.
The Sovereign Self is a reclamation. A manifesto for women who refuse to fade into the background. And the reminder you may need most right now: you are not finished. You are becoming—again.
