Know Your Worth: How I Turned Rock Bottom into a Glow-Up (and a Book)

Today, I’m here to share something big. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, stuck, or undervalued—whether in your career, your relationships, or even just within yourself—this is for you. Because I’ve been there. And what came out of that dark, rock-bottom moment was something incredible: a book that took me over a year to write, packed with every ounce of fear, frustration, and fight I had in me. It’s called Know Your Worth.

The Story Behind the Book

Two years ago, I walked away from a 10-year career. Why? Because my personal values and that career path just weren’t aligning. What followed were years filled with fear, frustration, and questioning my worth. It wasn’t easy. I felt like I kept backing down to people who seemed to have more money, more success, or more influence than I did. What I came to realize is that what looks good on paper isn’t always what makes us happy.

So, I did the hard thing. I stepped back, set boundaries, and started saying no. As women, this can be tough. We’re often taught to bend over backwards, to say yes, to please others. But knowing our worth? That’s powerful. It’s life-changing.

From that low point, I bundled up all those emotions—the fear, the doubt, the frustration—and poured them into this book. If you've ever felt belittled, confused, or unsure about your next step, Know Your Worth is for you. This book is a guide to upping your confidence and making your dreams come true.

Here’s what makes it special: it’s not just a motivational read. It’s practical, it’s a workbook, and it’s split into two halves:

1. Glow Up: It’s all about building your confidence, embracing your “villain era,” and giving yourself a 31-day challenge to transform your life. This isn’t just feel-good fluff; these are actionable steps to make sure you show up as the best version of yourself.

2. Make Bank: This part is about setting goals, shifting your mindset, and tapping into your full potential. Whether that means growing your business, changing careers, or simply living a life that feels aligned with you, this book guides you through it.

Now, I want to take you deeper into the inspiration and practical steps behind this concept. This journey is personal to me, and it transformed not just my life, but the lives of those around me.

The Domino Effect

The idea of the domino effect truly came to life through a close friend of mine. Her story is one of courage, self-discovery, and transformation. She wasn’t outwardly struggling, but I could sense a shift in her happiness and energy. Something was holding her back.

Then, one day, everything clicked for her — and it was epic to witness. She let go of the things that no longer served her: toxic relationships, an unfulfilling career, and draining habits. I watched as she discovered her passions, grew her confidence, and her entire life began to shift. The dominoes started falling in the most beautiful way:

• New Passion: She reconnected with what lit her up inside.

• Confidence: Pursuing her passion made her confidence skyrocket.

• Financial Growth: Her bank account flourished as she found success doing what she loved.

• Health & Wellness: Pounds fell off naturally, and she radiated vitality.

• Relationships: Her marriage and family life blossomed.

Watching her break free was a game-changer for me. It reminded me that cutting ties with negativity, setting boundaries, and prioritizing growth can lead to incredible results. Her story inspired the creation of my book — a guide to help others experience their own domino effect.

I realized that the beauty of the domino effect is that it’s not reserved for a select few — it’s a process we all can tap into. By taking small, consistent steps, I’ve been able to create my own transformations. Here’s how I got started, and how you can too:

1. Identifying what was holding me back: I reflected on where I felt stuck. Toxic relationships? Self-doubt? Draining habits? Check, check, and check.

2. Tapping into my passions: I made a conscious effort to rediscover what made me feel alive. Writing, creating, helping others glow up — these lit me up inside.

3. Growing my confidence: Confidence came from action. I started small, took risks, and celebrated every win (no matter how small).

4. Setting boundaries: I learned to say "no" to anything that didn’t align with my goals. My time and energy became sacred.

5. Embracing change: Change was scary, but it was also the key to my growth. I gave myself permission to evolve, and wow — did things shift.

Tools to Help Along the Way

Transformation is a journey of self-discovery, and I packed my book with tools to help you along the way. Some of my favorites include:

• The Color Quiz: To reframe negative labels you’ve internalized.

• Chronotype & Productivity Builder: To optimize your energy and work smarter.

• The Villain Era Cheat Sheet: Four steps to step into your power and confidence.

These tools help make the process fun, insightful, and most importantly, effective.

A lot of people ask, “Is this just a book for entrepreneurs?” Nope! Whether you want to start a side hustle, find a new job, or just feel more confident in your everyday life, Know Your Worth is designed for you. It’s for anyone who’s ready to glow up and go after their goals.

The book guides you through a 31-day transformation with small, actionable steps each day. Imagine starting on January 1st and, by mid-January, feeling more confident and motivated than ever before. While others give up on their resolutions, you’ll be in your “Villain Era,” crushing goals and radiating confidence.

You Are Worth It

This journey isn’t just about productivity, success, or aesthetics — it’s about recognizing your worth. Writing this book reminded me of something powerful: knowing your worth means never compromising your values and setting high standards for how you’re treated.

You are worth it — plus the tax and tip.

If you’re ready to:

• Break free from what’s holding you back,

• Step into your confidence,

• Glow up in every area of your life,

… then it’s time to tip that first domino and watch the magic unfold.
