What comes after letting go

Nina Kolari

Letting go of every rule to build a life you actually want

What happens when you burn down the life you were “supposed” to want? At 35, I started over — no map, no plan, just a deep knowing I couldn’t keep living that way. This book is part story, part permission slip for anyone craving freedom, reinvention, and a life that actually fits. It’s never too late to begin again.

Synopsis


Women over 30 are turning to platforms like TikTok to openly question the lives they were told to want: stable careers, long-term relationships, and family expectations. Burnout, identity loss, and the pressure to stay in “safe” roles have collided with a deep urge to start over. 

Yet most self-help content either talks down to them or pushes hustle-culture fantasies that feel unrealistic. This growing group of women, particularly in their 30s and 40s, are looking for a voice that says: you’re not broken, you’re waking up.

What Happens After Letting Go blends real-life storytelling with practical guidance, offering a raw, unfiltered roadmap for women who are ready to start fresh. It’s not a glossy coaching manual or a 10-step plan. It’s an honest conversation, built on lived experience and designed to help readers take their first steps toward reinvention. This book dives into how to listen to the “itch,” process fear without shutting down, and begin again from a place of self-trust.

Readers will gain:

  • Recognizing when it’s time to leave a life that no longer fits
  • Tools like morning pages and “tiny exits” to explore new possibilities
  • Permission to start before you’re ready, with clarity on what you truly want
  • Learning from real stories and mindset shifts—without sugarcoating

At 35, I walked away from the traditional path, burned down what wasn’t working, and have spent 15 years as a fully location-independent entrepreneur building multiple businesses, repeatedly reinventing myself, and helping others do the same. I’ve worked with thousands of students and clients, generated over 7 figures online as a solopreneur, and now speak directly to a growing audience of women ready to start over. One of my recent videos on this exact topic went viral with over 220,000 views and continues to gain momentum.

Sales arguments

  • Midlife reinvention is trending hard: “Career change over 30” and “starting over at 35” are exploding as search terms on TikTok and YouTube. Women in their 30s and 40s are driving a wave of identity shifts, career pivots, and lifestyle changes, yet few books speak directly to them without shame or hustle-talk.
  • Massive emotional response proven: One of my recent TikTok videos about starting over at 35 has over 168,000 views, 10,000+ likes, 3,800+ saves, and 600+ comments. Overwhelmingly from women in their 30s–50s feeling stuck, lost, and ready for change. The content clearly hits a nerve.
  • Growing platform: I am actively building a highly engaged audience across TikTok and Instagram. My community is made up of Gen Xers, late millennials, and women actively seeking career and life reinvention. This audience is warm, trusting, and deeply resonant with my story and messaging.
  • Prooven experience & credibility: I left my corporate career at 35 and have spent the last 15 years as a location-independent entrepreneur. I’ve generated €1M+ in online business, served thousands of students and clients, and built multiple brands — all while reinventing my life and work multiple times. This is not theory, it’s lived experience.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
