What began as a vision, countless late nights, and an unshakable belief is now something I finally get to share with you,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;This moment exists because of you. Thank you for walking this journey with me,&quot; she added in her post, which shows excerpts from her book. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DSUmmTCETFo/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1330080%2C%22ls%22%3A1329561.7999999821%2C%22le%22%3A1329963.8999999762%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In the prologue of &quot;The Confidence Blueprint,&quot; Wilson said her book is not meant to &quot;wound anyone, reopen old pain, or point finger at the past,&quot; but to speak her truth. </p><p>&quot;This book was written from where I stand -- not as a perfect woman, not as a victim, not as a heroine -- but as a woman trying to make sense of the moments that broke me and the ones that taught me how to rise again,&quot; she wrote. </p><p>&quot;If anything, it was written with trembling hands -- because telling the truth, even your own truth, is never easy,&quot; she added.</p><p>Wilson also shared an excerpt from a chapter titled &quot;Exile,&quot; where she recalled the moment her friends found out about her failed marriage -- some of them wondered aloud why she left despite having a &quot;comfortable life.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Some who called themselves my friends asked, with a kind of incredulous pity, &#x27;Why did you leave? You had everything. A comfortable life. And he still came home to you at the end of the day. Isn&#x27;t that enough?&#x27;&quot; she wrote.</p><p>&quot;The answer was simple: No. Comfort is not respect. Stability is not dignity. I was no longer willing to be diminished to keep the peace.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DR9nwKPkj7P/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1369484.3999999762%2C%22ls%22%3A1329561.7999999821%2C%22le%22%3A1329963.8999999762%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Wilson said she was <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/people-culture-events/2025/12/9/maggie-wilson-says-troll-farms-attacking-her-ahead-of-book-launch-1144">attacked by online trolls</a> before the launch of &quot;The Confidence Blueprint,&quot; her first foray as an author. </p><p>Without mentioning names, she publicly addressed &quot;whoever is bankrolling this little operation,&quot; saying she hopes they find peace.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;ve been targeted by troll farms before, so this isn&#x27;t new to me... and it definitely won&#x27;t stop me. If anything, it confirms that my story matters,&quot; she added. &quot;People who are afraid of the truth will do anything to silence it, even hide behind fake profiles and copy-paste comments.&quot; </p><p>It was in 2021 when Wilson announced her separation from Consunji, her husband of 11 years. Amid their public feud, the former beauty queen was separated from their son, Connor. </p><p>Consunji filed adultery cases against Wilson and her business partner, British-Thai Tim Connor. Years later, he went public with his relationship with entrepreneur <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/10/31/rachel-carrasco-on-past-intrigues-family-setup-with-victor-consunji-1504">Rachel Carrasco</a>, with whom he has a daughter.</p><p>Last July, Wilson said she is no longer mad at Consunji, saying &quot;life is too short for grudges.&quot;</p><p>She has since been fulfilling one dream at a time, such as attending Fashion Week events, as she continues to navigate life after her failed marriage.</p>
