The Truth About Why I Unpublished My Bestselling Book

Even after reaching the top of the charts, Kim questioned if her book truly reflected the new energy and strategy she wanted to embody. The process revealed how staying attached to “old outfits” or outdated projects can hold us back from our truest expression and next-level opportunities.

Key Questions Answered

1. Why would someone unpublish a successful book? [8:58]

Kim realized that keeping her book published would anchor her to old energy and trajectories that no longer fit her purpose. Despite hitting bestseller status, she felt a growing discord and recognized that moving forward required releasing what was no longer true for her vision.

2. How do you know when your business, strategy, or creative work is out of alignment? [16:28]

If you feel disconnected from your work, receive lackluster feedback, or notice missed opportunities—even when everything “looks right” on paper—these are signs of misalignment. Kim emphasizes listening to the subtle (and sometimes extreme) signals that what you’re offering may not match your deeper purpose or the current energetic wave.

3. What does it mean to create from depth rather than chasing reach? [15:36]

Kim highlights that true power and impact come from the depth and precision of your work, not from catering to the masses or spreading yourself thin. Honoring one’s own rhythm, intuition, and assets creates a ripple that naturally attracts the right people and results.

Fun Facts

1. Kim has written at least 15 books—but only published nine!
2. Despite almost $2 million spent on growth tactics, Kim’s biggest breakthrough came from realigning with her unique gifts and saying “no” to things that didn’t feel right—even if they were popular or successful on the surface.

Action Steps & Reflection

• Honor Your Intuition: When has your inner guidance felt out of sync with outer results? Are you listening, or rationalizing it away?
• Create Deeper, Not Wider: Where can you focus on depth and meaningful impact rather than chasing numbers or outside validation?
