Self-trust. 

Self-expression. 

Independence. 

Sovereignty. 

15 Canadians. 15 journeys. 15 powerful reclamations of personal freedom.

Freedom. One of the most heavily used words since 2020. Ironically enough, it found itself synonymous with others like selfish, radical, foolish, hateful, racist, misogynistic, conspiracist and even, unlawful. As the world grew louder with noise and an unprecedented push for external influence, validation and pressure, millions of people within Canada and around the globe turned inward instead, and rooted themselves in their values systems.

These are The Sovereign.

For some, the decision to reclaim authority in their own lives came after a single event that caused their intuition to roar with a reverberating signal to change course immediately. For others, a lifetime of instinctual alarms invited them to step into a heightened state of volition. The authors of this book, once strangers, came together to co-create this book by no accident — but to give you the green light to lead your own life with confidence, courage, conviction and free will, too.

May these stories be forever told.
