VALERIE BERTINELLI - ENOUGH ALREADY: LEARNING TO LOVE THE WAY I AM TODAY (2022 Unabridged Audiobook) Valerie Bertinelli

Beloved actress, Food Network personality, and New York   Times bestselling author Valerie Bertinelli reflects on life at sixty and beyond.

In Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today, beloved actress and television personality Valerie Bertinelli opens up about her deeply personal journey to self-acceptance and peace. With vulnerability, humor, and wisdom, Bertinelli reflects on the challenges she’s faced—including her struggles with body image, love, and loss—and her decision to redefine her relationship with herself.

Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold.

She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen — the true love of her life — work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them. She then watched her son follow in his father’s footsteps, right up onto the stage of Van Halen concerts, and begin his own music career. And like so many women, she cared for her parents as their health declined and saw the roles of parent and child reverse. Through mourning the loss of her parents, discovering more about her family’s past, and realizing how short life really is when she and her son lost Eddie, Valerie finally said, “Enough already!” to a lifelong battle with the scale and found a new path forward to joy and connection. 

Guiding listeners through the highs and lows of her life, she shares lessons learned about embracing imperfection, finding joy in small moments, and, ultimately, learning to love herself as she is. Narrated by Bertinelli herself, this audio book is an intimate, uplifting experience, where her warmth and sincerity shine through each chapter.

Despite hardships and the pressures of the media industry to be something she’s not, Valerie is, at last, accepting herself: she knows who she is, has discovered her self-worth, and has learned how to prioritize her health and happiness over her weight. With an intimate look into her insecurities, heartbreaks, losses, triumphs, and revelations, Enough Already is the story of Valerie’s sometimes humorous, sometimes raw, but always honest journey to love herself and find joy in the everyday, in family, and in the food and memories we share. 

Enough Already offers more than memoir; it’s a heartfelt message to anyone on their own journey of self-acceptance, encouraging us all to find peace with our pasts, celebrate the present, and let go of what no longer serves us. Press play, and join Valerie Bertinelli in discovering what it means to be truly enough—just as you are.
