Becoming Riley: A Personal Memoir Of Pow

A memoir about losing everything you were told to be and finally becoming who you are.

Becoming Riley is a brave, unflinching journey through the spaces in between. Told through raw reflections, poetic clarity, and the quiet ache of starting over, Riley invites readers into her story of identity, grief, reinvention, and the lifelong search for belonging.

A former pilot, trainer, and creative entrepreneur, Riley reveals what happens behind the polished surface when youve done all the right things, built all the right things, and still feel like you dont belong. From the hidden guilt of outgrowing your old self to the quiet courage it takes to be seen in your truth, this memoir is not about arrivalits about permission.

Permission to feel.

Permission to rest.

Permission to take up space.

And most of all, permission to belong on your own terms.

Whether youre navigating a life transition, recovering from burnout, or trying to reclaim the parts of yourself you once buried, Becoming Riley is your mirror, your lighthouse, and your reminder that you are not alone.
