She’s The Boss Star Nicole Walters is Writing a Memoir
Nicole Walters, star of USA’s family docu-comedy She’s the Boss, is writing a memoir, set to be released by Simon Element, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, in 2023. Walters was a high-earning corporate executive before quitting her job to focus on her personal development brand, sharing her expertise with business owners and entrepreneurs. She’s also a blogger and hosts a podcast. Walters said in a statement about her new book, “I’ve been on a unique journey for the past decade – and some lessons have finally come full circle – and I’m a believer that it’s important to ‘share your scars and not your scabs.’ There are many experiences I’ve never shared because they were challenging, complex, and better served for pages than screens. I knew they had to be in a book.”
