About this listen

Strength taught her how to survive. Softness taught her how to live.

She wore the badge, carried the silence, and almost lost herself—until breaking became the only way home.

Raised in silence and praised for her strength, Rashida Saunders learned how heavy it is to keep carrying when softness has no place to rest. Permission to Break is her unflinching memoir of silence, strength, grief, and faith—a journey through survival, motherhood, and the courage to finally lay the armor down.

Through raw and reflective storytelling, Rashida reminds us that breaking isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. For anyone who has carried too much, mistaken endurance for healing, or learned to hide their tenderness to survive, this book offers a gentle permission: you don’t have to hold it all alone anymore.

Permission to Break is a memoir for anyone learning to rest, to trust, and to come home to themselves.
