You’re not broken。 You’re just carrying pain that was never yours to begin with。
For years, Jason Conner wore every the high-achiever, the strong man, the provider, the protector。 But behind the muscle, the accolades, and the carefully controlled image was a boy who had never been seen。 Never been held。 Never been told he was enough。
This book is a raw, unflinching journey back to the parts of ourselves we were taught to abandon。 It doesn’t offer a five-step formula or toxic positivity。 Instead, it’s a brutally honest field guide through childhood trauma, emotional repression, rage, shame, guilt, and the deep ache for connection。 From suicide attempts to spiritual awakening and radical self-parenting, Jason lays it all bare。 No polish, no pretense, and no retreat from the truth。
Inside these pages, you’ll learn how to rewire your nervous system, reparent your inner child, and stop performing your way through life。 You’ll gain tools from NLP, emotional regulation, and somatic healing, not to become someone new, but to remember who you were before the world told you who to be。
This isn’t a story about staying stuck in your past。 It’s a blueprint for choosing freedom, peace, and presence even if you were never shown how。 If you’ve been fighting battles no one can see, this book will meet you there and walk with you back to yourself。
About the Author
JASON CONNER is a seasoned entrepreneur, U。S。 Army veteran, and the founder of Conner Insurance Group, a thriving, multi-million-dollar insurance agency。
Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Jason’s journey began with 8+ years of dedicated service in the U。S。 Army as an 11B Infantryman, including a deployment to Afghanistan in which his unit was the first to deploy in response to the 9/11 terror attack。 His time in the military instilled a strong sense of discipline, resilience, and leadership that continues to shape his approach to business today。
After transitioning from the military, Jason pursued a business degree at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and years later found himself in the insurance industry。 What started as a leap into an unfamiliar field quickly became a passion for helping people secure their financial futures。 His early years in insurance were filled with challenges, including learning the ropes of the business while managing personal and financial struggles。 However, Jason's unwavering determination led him to push through adversity, eventually founding Conner Insurance Group in 2022。
Building the agency from the ground up, Jason faced numerous obstacles including long hours, financial strain, a steep learning curve, and being diagnosed with a terminal illness which he has now overcome。 The support of his wife, Hollie, and their sons, Ethan and Owen, has been instrumental in his success。 Their dedication and belief in his vision have helped Jason persevere through the toughest times。
Today, Conner Insurance Group is a multi-million-dollar veteran-owned company。 Jason’s journey continues to inspire others, especially fellow veterans and entrepreneurs, to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams with unwavering resolve。
