My Book

Kicking Unobtainable Standards to the Kerb and Reimagining the Power Within Yourself

In a world obsessed with appearances and achievement, it’s easy to lose sight of who we really are.
We edit, filter, and perform – trying to meet ideals that were never ours to begin with – until the reflection we see feels unfamiliar.

#NoFilterNeeded is a call to come home to yourself.

It’s not another book about confidence on the surface – it’s about the real, powerful and sustainable kind that comes from self-trust and self-acceptance.

Through real stories, honest reflections, and practical insights, this book helps you challenge the conditioning, rewrite the narratives, and reconnect with the person underneath the pressure.

Because true beauty – and real power – isn’t found in perfection.
It’s found in authenticity, presence, and the courage to be seen exactly as you are.

WHAT'S INSIDE
THE BOOK?

#NoFilterNeeded is your invitation to rebuild self-trust, strengthen your confidence, and transform the way you see yourself.
It helps you strip away unrealistic standards, silence self-doubt, and reconnect with the power that’s always been within you – so you can show up in life with authenticity, assurance, and ease.

We begin by exploring the fascinating history of beauty and cosmetics - how, for centuries, they’ve been used as tools of power, influence, and identity. You’ll uncover how cultural standards have shaped the way we see ourselves today, and start to redefine what beauty and self-expression truly mean to you.
Next, we dive beneath the surface into the mind - where confidence is built, broken, and rebuilt again. You’ll learn how to understand your thought patterns, strengthen your self-belief, and redefine “the brand of you” from the inside out. This is where mindset meets identity - and transformation begins.
In the beauty bullshit-busting section, we lift the veil on the marketing, media, and social narratives designed to make you feel like you’re not enough. By exposing these tactics, you’ll reclaim the power to define your own worth - no filters, no faking, no quick fixes required.
Finally, we turn inward - exploring your self-image, silencing negative self-talk, and nourishing both body and mind with intention. You’ll discover how to harness the power of your imagination to reframe your story, realign your habits, and live each day with confidence, purpose, and joy.
An excellent book. Relatable, interesting and funny. A much needed investigation and analysis of the pressures and issues facing women today
It not only debunks myths related, and tells some home truths, but also makes you question your own life experiences and choices and how we can possibly make better choices in how we hold ourselves and navigate our way forward with the pressures of society and media weighing heavily on us.
a very practical yet sharing-is-caring approach to both mental and physical health from the outlook of an insider in the beauty industry.
I feel that especially for the upcoming generation this book will hold hope and answers and help them to understand and challenge what they are seeing and reading to see what the REAL REALITY really is!
I left it feeling inspired and motivated and better informed about lies that propagate online, and the tactics used by cosmetic companies to exploit people’s insecurities
As a fellow MUA I know first hand how much low self esteem and body image effects people and girls/women in particular (myself included!) so thank you for putting pen to paper and writing this inspiration and truly informative book as well as supporting the girls network
