The Power of Putting Yourself First

About this book

A powerful narrative self-help guide for women ready to prioritize themselves and create beautiful lives

The Selfish Year is not just a book—it's a radical invitation to finally prioritize yourself and design a life that feels deeply aligned, fulfilling, and free.

The Selfish Year chronicles one woman's journey through a year of putting herself first, offering women empowering strategies to redefine selfishness and create a beautiful life, rich relationships, and radical self-love. In an age of female empowerment and advocacy, this book offers tailored strategies specifically designed for women who are tired of being on the back burner, and are ready to redefine selfishness as self-respect, self-worth, and self-love.

This narrative self-help guide takes readers on a revelatory biographical journey through a year in author Valerie Jones' life. Through bold insights and transformational strategies, The Selfish Year empowers you to:

  • Break free from codependency and toxic relationship patterns
  • Release guilt around prioritizing yourself and set boundaries without apology
  • Step into your personal power and create a life that reflects your desires, not just your obligations
  • Cultivate unshakable confidence, self-trust, and emotional resilience

This book doesn't just tell a story—it gives you a roadmap for reclaiming your power. With practical exercises, mindset shifts, and real-life lessons, it will help you step into the most unapologetic, empowered version of yourself.

It's time to stop waiting for permission and start living life on your own terms. The Selfish Year is your guide to becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
