A Life-Changing Guide to Emotional Clarity, Self-Worth & Personal Reinvention

What Does Freedom Mean to Me? is a powerful, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest book by Australian pop artist, writer, and philosopher Ilana McBain. A guide for anyone who wants to understand people better, choose themselves without guilt, and finally live with emotional confidence.

This book explores 15 essential freedoms:

💬 freedom from lies

💬 freedom from comparison

💬 freedom from fear

💬 freedom from financial anxiety

💬 freedom to rest without guilt

💬 freedom to reinvent yourself

…and many more deeply relatable chapters that illuminate why people behave the way they do, and how to stop letting their behaviour control your life.

Readers come away with:

Emotional Freedom: Learn how to break free from people-pleasing, self-sabotage, overthinking, shame, and the opinions of strangers.

More Confidence & Self-Respect: Discover how to hold your boundaries, honour your needs, and stay connected to your goals without losing yourself in love or life.

Courage to Reinvent Yourself: Whether you’re 25 or 65, this book shows you that it’s never too late to evolve, start fresh, or pursue the life you actually want.

A Sense of Lightness Again: Ilana blends psychology, storytelling, humour, and straight-to-the-heart honesty to help you feel understood, supported, and inspired.

Who This Book Is For? This is for you if you’re:

• tired of repeating the same patterns
• craving emotional peace
• navigating relationships + identity
• longing for clarity about your needs, values, and desires
• ready to grow, heal, and finally live as your true self
• standing at the edge of reinvention

It’s for anyone seeking self-worth, self-understanding, and freedom from the emotional habits that keep life small.

What Makes This Book Different? Ilana writes with a voice that’s part philosopher, part friend, part slightly cheeky truth-teller. You’ll laugh, reflect, learn — and most importantly — you’ll see yourself more clearly. This isn’t a “fix yourself” book. It’s a “free yourself” book.

Your freedom begins the moment you open it.
