In November, the World medalist announced the release of her memoir, 'I'm That Girl: Living The Power Of My Dreams' in March 2025. Speaking with USA Today in a recent interview, Jordan Chiles revealed she always planned to write a memoir that would stand as a testament to her 'crazy' life.

"This memoir was something that I've always wanted to do ever since I was little I told my parents one day I wanna write a book about my story and I only wanted to do that because life from the very beginning of being a little kid was already crazy," she shared. [3:40 onwards]

She then called herself a 'miracle child' and went on to say:

"I'm a miracle child, I'm a rainbow baby, there's already a lot of things. I'm named after Michael Jordan so those stories are things that I felt like you know people should actually read coming from the person and I think it's just gonna be very impactful.
