Burn The Script - You were handed a script the moment you were born. It told you who to be, how to act, what to want—and you’ve been performing ever since.

But here’s the truth: that script was never yours.

In Burn The Script: A Manifesto, Lisa Kirkman delivers a raw, no-bullsh*t call to unlearn the expectations that are keeping you stuck, suffocated, and small. Part memoir, part personal revolution, this book is for the ones who feel like they’re living someone else’s life. The ones who are checking the boxes, hitting the milestones, doing all the “right” things—and still feel empty.

Lisa shares her own late-in-life coming out, the unraveling of a perfectly curated life, and what it really takes to claim your truth when it costs you everything you thought made you ‘enough.’

This isn’t self-help fluff. This is a reckoning. A wake-up call. A match in your hand.

If you’re done performing...
If you’re ready to live a life that actually feels like yours...
It’s time to burn the damn script.

I don’t write books to play nice—I write them to tell the truth. I’m a two-time bestselling author, and both Dying Inside and Burn the Script were born from my own messy, beautiful journey of burning it all down to build a life that actually fits.

Dying Inside was my raw, unfiltered unpacking of what it costs to live out of alignment with who you really are. And Burn the Script? That one’s the match. I wrote it to torch the rules we’ve been handed and give people permission to live life on their own damn terms.

These aren’t your average self-help books. They’re gut-punches with love notes. If you’re tired of pretending, performing, or shrinking, these pages were written for you.
