“Enough already!”

This is the phrase Valerie Bertinelli said to herself after she found an old recipe box, filled with notes about the inspiring women in her family.

The Food Network star — who “judged herself harshly” for gaining weight or showing signs of aging — was reminded she needs to love herself as she is. So began Bertinelli’s journey to self-love, which she shares in her upcoming book, Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today. The memoir will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in January 2022.

“This book is about letting go of the mindset that made me feel broken and always trying to fix something about myself,” Bertinelli tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. “It’s the most personal, intimate writing I’ve done.”

“I explore the things that I have gone through and continue to deal with in getting to where I am today — topics that I think will be familiar to many people — my relationship to food, being a mom, mid-life career changes, aging parents, saying goodbye to loved ones, and asking why the hell have I been so hard on myself for so long,” she continues.

“I cover a lot, but ultimately it’s about growing older, with the emphasis on growth, learning lessons and reminding myself — and hopefully those who read the book — that life is a gift and too short to waste.”

In Enough Already, the actress and bestselling author not only reflects on her past, she shares advice and delicious recipes. Bertinelli’s hope is for others to find joy in all aspects of life, like she has.
