The Cost of Resilience: How I Stopped Calling Pain Strength is a raw, unflinching memoir that blurs the line between storytelling and self-help, offering readers both witness and guide on the journey from survival to healing. From childhood responsibility to adult struggles with loss, loneliness, and the pressure to appear strong, Nia M. Thomas lays bare what it means to carry more than your share. With honesty and vulnerability, she explores how the very traits that once helped her endure-silence, grit, and self-sacrifice-came at a cost.

Through powerful narrative and built-in journaling prompts, Thomas invites readers to pause, reflect, and write their way toward freedom. Each chapter offers space for self-examination, encouraging readers to let go of the cape of "strength" and embrace the deeper work of resilience: allowing themselves to feel, grieve, and ultimately heal.

More than a memoir, The Cost of Resilience is a mirror for anyone who has ever been told to "stay strong" when what they really needed was permission to lay their burdens down. For those ready to redefine resilience and finally live on their own terms, this book is both a companion and a catalyst.
