Stop surviving the life you were given. Start living the one you choose. When Alexandra Miu’s world collapsed—through heartache, divorce, and a near-fatal car accident—she discovered that rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. RISE: I Chose Me is a raw, empowering journey of self-reclamation, resilience, and awakening. Through intimate stories and unflinching honesty, Alexandra reveals how life’s greatest challenges can become the blueprint for transformation. Guided by the four pillars— Remember, Ignite, Sacred, and Embody —this book invites you to release old wounds, break toxic patterns, and reclaim your voice, boundaries, and worth. It’s a mirror and a manifesto for every woman who has ever felt small, silenced, disconnected, or lost—yet knows she is meant for more. You’ll learn to transform pain into power, scarcity into abundance, and self-doubt into unshakable confidence. You’ll rediscover pleasure, purpose, and peace—and the truth that choosing yourself is not selfish. It’s sacred. You don’t bounce back; you rise forward. You don’t rebuild who you were—you become who you were always meant to be. This is your moment. The RISE begins now.
