Books to Fuel Your Main Character Journey
Step into your power and transform your life story with these essential reads.
Can You Relate?
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you try to blend into the background, you can't help but stand out? The moment you step into a room, it's like an invisible spotlight hits you. Heads turn, eyes linger, and whispers start to ripple through the crowd. People can't help but wonder who you are. But let's be clear—this isn't about seeking attention or trying to dominate the scene. You're not loud or flashy, you're not making a grand entrance. You might not even be saying a word. Yet, there's something about your presence that demands recognition.
There’s a quiet confidence that radiates from within. It’s about the way you carry yourself, the way you look people in the eye, the way you stand tall. You might not be trying to be the main character, but let's face it—you are. And there's power in embracing that role.
I don’t know about you, but there was a time in my life when I tried to tone down my Main Character Energy just to make others feel more comfortable.
“Oh my God, I am doing too much!” I’d tell myself, desperately trying to blend in, to just “be normal.”
But you know what? Normal just wasn’t in the cards for me. Back in my days as a High Ticket Astrology Advisor, I’d pull up my Natal Chart right now and show you in black and white why I am the way I am—why I stand out without even trying. But today, you’ll just have to trust me. Though, if you’ve been around me long enough, you already know what it is.
Some of us just have that thing, you know. That je ne sais quoi.
I don’t have to explain it to you because you have it too.
You were born with it. It’s that spark, that undeniable presence that makes you a Main Character. It’s the way you walk, talk, and simply exist in this world. You’ve got that magnetic energy that draws people in, makes them curious, makes them want to know you.
So here’s what I want you to do right now, friend. I want you to step into this energy even more. Yup, this is my challenge to you today and every day going forward. It’s more important than ever. Because I feel like, while you know you’re a Main Character, some things have happened that have had you questioning that and acting more like a Supporting Background Character—gasp—an Extra!
As an Indie Filmmaker, let me be clear: Extras are important. They help bring the world we’re trying to create to life. But Extras have no names, no backstories, and no impact on the plot.
And Darling, that’s just not you.
You’re not here to be a faceless entity in someone else’s story. You’re here to make an impact, to drive the narrative forward, to be unforgettable. You’ve got a name, a backstory, and a future that’s too bright to be dimmed.
We’re being inundated with messages about how bad things are, why this and that won’t happen for us, how hard it is to do x, y, z. And while the world is what it is and there are things we can’t control, this is the moment you’re going to take back control of your personal narrative. Because not only are you the Main Character, you’re the Writer, Producer, and Director—with a Higher Power guiding the way, rigging things to work for your ultimate good.
So it’s time to play like you can’t lose, because technically, everything is a win. When you walk into a room, own it. When you set a goal, crush it. When you face a challenge, overcome it. You’ve got the power within you to create the story you want to live.
This moment is about reclaiming your power, rewriting the script, and directing the scenes of your life with confidence and purpose.
Time to shake off those doubts and step back into your role. Remind yourself every day that you’re the star. Your journey, your struggles, your triumphs—they all matter. They’re all part of a story that only you can tell.
To help you with that, I’ve got some books I’d love for you to read—books that will keep you in character and fuel your fire.
