The Why Not Me? Concept

by Becky Shaffer

Overview

What if the pain that broke you could also be the path that builds you?
What if healing wasn't just possible—but personal, powerful, and already within reach?
In The Why Not Me? Concept, Becky Shaffer offers a raw, courageous, and transformative roadmap for anyone ready to reclaim their story. Blending deeply with a personal narrative and a trauma-informed insight, this book invites readers to challenge the lies they've believed about their worth and reframe the question that's haunted them—Why me?—into a bold declaration of growth: Why not me?
Through five foundational pillars—Reframing Victimhood, Reclaiming Worthiness, Breaking the Cycle, The Courage to Try, and Spiritual & Psychological Growth—readers are guided on a journey from surviving to thriving. This isn't about pretending the pain didn't happen. It's about refusing to let it define you.
With reflection questions, unapologetic affirmations, and a workbook with compassionate truth-telling, this book doesn't just tell a story—it invites transformation. The workbook will be available at www.liveinconfidence.com
Whether you're navigating a midlife reinvention, recovering from trauma, or simply tired of shrinking to fit someone else's version of you, The Why Not Me? Concept is your call to rise. This is your moment to heal, speak your truth, and choose yourself without apology.

About the Author

Becky Shaffer is a writer, educator, life coach, and podcast host who helps people stop performing and start showing up as their true selves. With over 28 years of experience in education—and just as many in the wild classroom of life—Becky blends wisdom, humor, and raw honesty to guide others through personal reinvention, boundary-setting, and healing the stories they never chose but still carry.
After decades of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and shrinking herself to fit roles she’d long outgrown, Becky asked a single question that changed everything: Why not me? That question became her compass, her calling, and eventually, the foundation of a movement to help others reclaim their power and rewrite their lives from the inside out.
She is the founder of Live in Confidence, host of the Real Adult Wisdom podcast, and a passionate advocate for healing that doesn't require perfection—just permission to begin.
When she’s not writing or coaching, you’ll find Becky hiking through the Blue Ridge Mountains, paddle boarding with friends who’ve become family, or snuggling her two doodles, all while soaking in the quiet joy of being a proud mom to two grown sons.
She lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and believes the best stories start when you stop asking “Why me?” and start daring to ask, “Why not me?”
