Set for release on September 9, 2026, Doing It Scared in Love & Relationships speaks to anyone who has loved deeply, experienced heartbreak, struggled to walk away, repeated familiar relationship patterns, or wondered why finding healthy love can sometimes feel so difficult.
At its heart is a simple but powerful idea: you don’t have to stop being scared before you start choosing differently.
Through a deeply personal approach to love, healing, and self-discovery, bryant invites readers to look beyond individual relationships and examine the patterns underneath them—the fear of being alone, overgiving, ignoring red flags, struggling with boundaries, seeking validation, or losing yourself while trying to keep someone else.
The book encourages readers to recognize those cycles and begin making choices rooted in self-worth rather than fear.
But Doing It Scared in Love & Relationships isn’t about giving up on love. It’s about changing where love begins.
Choosing yourself can mean setting a boundary even when you’re afraid of losing someone. It can mean leaving what no longer serves you, trusting yourself after disappointment, or learning that peace doesn’t have to feel unfamiliar.
Most importantly, the multi-hyphenate has produced more than 40 shows and worked with networks and platforms including ABC, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, OWN, MTV, and Facebook. reminds readers that the love they’ve been searching for may not begin with another person.
It can begin within—with self-trust, self-respect, forgiveness, healing, and the understanding that loving yourself isn’t a consolation prize. It’s the foundation for the kind of love you deserve to experience with others.
For readers ready to stop repeating old patterns and start choosing themselves, the journey can begin now.
