An Intimate Journey Towards Self-Discovery
Catherine Valleroy is an emerging visionary poet who recently launched her debut book, “Better Look,” a profound exploration of her personal journey. The book depicts the author’s transformation from a life of self-indulgence to a purposeful existence, culminating in her decision to leave a thriving career to embrace a simpler life with her family.
In “Better Look,” Valleroy bravely opens up about her struggles and triumphs, taking readers on a reflective journey through her experiences. The book began as a collection of post-it notes and journal entries, documenting observations and heartfelt honesty. Over four years, this personal process evolved into a collection of writings, a spoken word album, and poetry readings.
Valleroy’s work extends beyond personal reflection to touch the lives of her readers, particularly resonating with women. She shares details of her journey, inspiring others to embark on their own path towards authenticity. The book includes journal pages at the end, encouraging readers to capture and reflect on their personal journeys.
The author, reflecting on her own experiences, remarked, “Like many of us, I have looked at my mirror, my closet, and my business card as a way of knowing who I am. I spent a lot of time, money, and energy trying to maintain an external self. At 33, I found myself struggling to feel whole. Over the course of four years, I came to acknowledge the many angels and more than a few devils who prodded me toward a simpler life.”
Indeed, “Better Look” serves as a guide, inviting readers to connect with their authentic selves. The simplicity and depth of Valleroy’s writing have struck a chord with many, providing a relatable and thought-provoking perspective on the pursuit of a meaningful life.
The book is available globally and can be purchased online at Amazon. Catherine Valleroy’s spoken word album is also available on Spotify and Soundcloud. The album spotlights select poems from Better Look performed by Valleroy
