The Phoenix Uprising Workbook
The memoir tells the story. The workbook turns what survival taught into tools you can use. It is a plain-language, trauma-informed guide for adults in active survival, and for the programs that walk alongside them.
Twenty sections
Four parts, one path
01
Mindset and Inner Foundation
Where rebuilding starts: how you see yourself, your situation, and what’s possible.
02
Relationships and Support
Knowing your support system, setting healthy boundaries, and building healthy relationships.
03
Practical Rebuild
Accessing public benefits, knowing your rights, and the steps that make stability possible.
04
Purpose and Leadership
Turning what you’ve survived into strategy, and strategy into service.
Who it’s for
- Adults rebuilding after incarceration, domestic violence, housing instability, addiction, or aging out of the system
- Shelters, reentry programs, recovery housing, and community organizations
- Anyone who has had to learn a system nobody explained
Built with the people it’s for
The workbook is drafted. In 2027 it goes to the people it’s meant for, through focus groups and workshops with people who have lived these systems. Every participant is paid for their time, and their feedback shapes each section before anything is printed.
