You don’t have to be perfect to begin again.

The Trudge Paradox is a raw, compassionate guide for anyone recovering from betrayal, grief, burnout, or identity collapse. Drawing from real-life experience, therapeutic insight, and the healing power of paradox, Ken Caselden shows what’s possible when we stop running and start listening.

Whether you’ve lost your sense of self, feel stuck in survival mode, or are searching for a way to rebuild a life you can finally call your own — this book will meet you where you are and walk with you toward something more whole, more honest, and more you.

Includes reflections, journal prompts, and practical tools rooted in the Trudge Paradox Framework.
