Bestselling author, speaker, and influential thought leader Sarah Jakes Roberts is set to release her highly anticipated new book, Get Over Yourself: Relief from Perfection and the Lies That Keep You from Connection (W Publishing, an imprint of Thomas Nelson; April 13, 2027). Fueled by a life-altering accident earlier this year that forced her to confront the identity she had built around survival, Roberts invites readers on a compassionate journey beneath the versions of themselves they’ve learned to become by asking a provocative question: What if the version of you that helped you survive is now keeping you from being fully known and loved?

Sarah Jakes Roberts
Due to life’s demands, many of us took on roles we never thought we’d perform: We became the dependable one. The achiever. The perfectionist. The people-pleaser. The strong one who never asks for help. We built lives that look orderly and pristine on the outside while quietly carrying the exhausting weight of proving ourselves, protecting ourselves, and performing for acceptance. But the armor that once helped us survive may now be keeping us from the very connection we long for.
In Get Over Yourself, Roberts blends profound biblical insight, developmental research, and her own deeply personal story to reveal how perfectionism, performance, and self-protection become armor. She shows readers how to lay down those false securities, embrace who God created them to be, and experience genuine connection.
Readers will discover how to recognize the survival patterns shaping their relationships and identity, release the pressure to constantly prove, protect, or perfect themselves, and heal from shame, fear, and the hidden lies that keep them emotionally guarded. Readers will also learn to experience deeper intimacy with God, healthier relationships, and lasting inner freedom, becoming the person love, not survival, requires.
Roberts marked the book’s launch with a special announcement on the Tamron Hall show. During the episode, which included members of her beloved family, she spoke about her traumatic accident and how she continues to heal physically and emotionally.
“It is my prayer that people will feel free enough to embrace that they have needs–and that is not a penalty on their humanity, it is a part of the requirement of humanity,” said Jakes Roberts about her hope for what readers will experience through Get Over Yourself. “I want them to express those needs and take the armor off.”
Get Over Yourself is available wherever books are sold in hard cover, audiobook, and ebook. Follow Sarah at SarahJakesRoberts.com.
