Valerie Bertinelli’s career has spanned more than two decades to worldwide popularity, acclaim and industry accolades. For years she was known as America’s sweetheart turned tabloid headline and rock star wife, now she’s known as actress, single mom of a teenage rock star and weight loss inspiration to millions of women worldwide as she motivates other women to take back their lives. Despite her celebrity, Valerie has touched us all with her down to earth, honest and appealing message – just like you’re talking to a girlfriend over coffee, she’s funny and candid as she recounts her struggle with maintaining a positive and healthy self image while dealing with the social pressures to look and act a certain way.
