Boston-based Author Establishes The R.E.A.L. Women's Club With Help From Susan Boyle
Ever since Susan Boyle appeared on Britain's Got Talent!, author Audrey Valeriani says she has received an unbelievable number of inquiries from older women who, she says, seem to be revisiting their own dreams and want to make changes in their lives that they previously thought were not possible. These women seem to be revisiting their own dreams and want to make changes in their lives that they thought were not possible for them -- and I am happy to help them get started!

If I were to advise her, I would tell Susan Boyle not to change a thing! If she is happy with herself, that's all that matters.

The truth is advertisers (and the rich and powerful) have always dictated the trends to the media who, in turn, train our eyes to recognize (their versions of) what is beautiful, valuable, and acceptable. We've become conditioned to think that what conforms to these ideals is good and what is different is bad.

for women who respect, encourage, appreciate, and love themselves...

Boot Camp for the Broken-Hearted… Girlfriends Building Self Esteem.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 3, 2009 -- Author and relationship coach Audrey Valeriani announced today that ever since Susan Boyle wowed the world with her performance on Britain's Got Talent! emails from women have come pouring in for membership in her new self-esteem building association, The R.E.A.L. Women's Club.

Valeriani says she's been receiving emails from older women inquiring about the club and asking for advice on goal setting and self-esteem building. "These women seem to be revisiting their own dreams and want to make changes in their lives that they thought were not possible for them -- and I am happy to help them get started!"

In her May column for The Malden Observer, Valeriani boldly points out, "A few weeks ago this unknown, unassuming woman with the voice of an angel took on a world filled with small-minded, judgmental know-it-alls and gave audio/visual club kids everywhere hope for a chance at greatness… The appearance of this brave, peculiar woman and the contradiction between her difficult life (before the show) and her incredible singing ability, made us all re-evaluate our thought processes and examine our suppositions about people which, for most of us, are based on mere appearances."

Valeriani has been outspoken about the media's negative influence in the public's level of self-esteem. "If I were to advise her, I would tell Susan Boyle not to change a thing! If she is happy with herself, that's all that matters." Valeriani goes on to say, "The truth is advertisers (and the rich and powerful) have always dictated the trends to the media who, in turn, train our eyes to recognize (their versions of) what is beautiful, valuable, and acceptable. We've become conditioned to think that what conforms to these ideals is good and what is different is bad."

The author of a book on women, self-esteem, and relationships entitled Boot Camp for the Broken-Hearted: How to Survive (and Be Happy) in the Jungle of Love (New Horizon Press Books) says, "What I think is happening is that ordinary women have identified with the vulnerability and bravery of Susan Boyle. Her 'I am what I am' attitude plus the aftermath of pundits focusing on the pre-judging and stereotyping that exists among us have given these women a kind of energy… and they're beginning to ask, 'Why not me?' -- which is the first step to improving one's life and actually achieving one's dream."

Valeriani's new R.E.A.L. Women's Club was established "for women who respect, encourage, appreciate, and love themselves..." (which explains the acronym). Her club, which is offering a free membership for a short time, supplies members with information and articles on improving self-esteem, discounts on other self-esteem building opportunities with affiliates, the chance to share inspirational stories on her websites, prizes and free gifts, and guest spots on her upcoming Internet show (still in production) "Boot Camp for the Broken-Hearted… Girlfriends Building Self Esteem."

Valeriani urges women today to exhibit a positive self-image and live their lives to the fullest not only for themselves but as an example to an upcoming generation of women who may be heading down a dangerous path, living lives of over-indulgence and behavior predominantly exhibited for shock value, which can seriously damage self-image and affect life choices.

This is awesome news to us at Applaud Women because we truly believe that no matter what age you are you should be following your dreams. Personally I am glad that Susan has done a little something with her image but I agree that she doesn't need to go any further. She should be valued for her wonderful singing voice not her looks.
