I just read collecting confidence by Kim Gravel and the book was excellent. From page 1 to the end Kim inspired and shared her life’s journey and how myself and others can be more confident in ourselves. I first saw Kim on QVC and I always felt a connection. Her book was so touching, funny, spiritual and down to earth. I read in her book in one day, couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know more. Kim is a great writer and a great motivator and she makes me and others feel special. I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

This book is a mind set game changer. Do not sleep on this!! Kim has written this book in such a way that you can not put it down. I’m not an avid reader and this I breezed through and couldn’t believe I was done. The tools that I have now taken away and put in my tool box are so precious from shifting my mind set to being the best ME I can be.

Absolutely fantastic and inspiring book! I love Kim and watch her every time I flip through the channels on QVC. I always wanted to know more about her and this book did not disappoint ! She’s just as inspiring if not more than I thought. Love love love

I really enjoyed reading this one! I’ve been struggling with my confidence lately and this book had some awesome pointers and advice

Such a wonderful advice book! I have been following Kim’s career in the states for some time now and always wanted to know more about her. I was not disappointed she is savy, funny, talented, and incredibly inspirational. I loved her take on how you don’t need fixing you just need to use all the tools you already have inside you to unlock your best self!

In Collecting Confidence, Kim Gravel has written a brand new book to assist readers into realizing how magnificent they really are. In the book, she shared her story about how she was former Miss Georgia pageant winner at the young age of nineteen. She stated how comparison is the ultimate confidence killer and how she dealt with that struggle in her competition. She went on to try out for Miss America and lost. She lost her confidence. She failed to see that she still had talent and felt like she failed. She started singing in night clubs and begin dating a man and eventually married him. The marriage was rough and it ended after two years. During this time, she was able to connect more deeply with God and she had to rely on Him to provide. She had to take a calculator to the store to check the prices. She was able to recognize that all of her past failures prepared her for where she was going. She reminded readers that they are who they are because God designed them and they are fearfully and wonderfully made. She explained how we don’t have to catch our calling and we are where we are meant to be. She went on to share how she got a job at WATC and how fitting that it was only two blocks from her apartment. She was able to be on a talk show called Friends & Neighbors for ten years. She also shared how she recorded a few albums and how she met her future husband. She is a host on QVC and has a beauty line called, Belle and a life coach. She also got an opportunity to be a guest on Steve Harvey.


I would recommend this inspiring book to anyone who needs a confidence boost and they are needing a little guidance on stepping into their calling. This book will help readers to become real and authentic. One of my favorite things was how she discussed signs and how we have to look around to see them. She reminded us that we are where we are supposed to be for a reason even if we don’t know why. We can learn to let control of our control, which we never really have. I also liked she discussed how titles and degrees don’t make us who we are. She stated how important it is to not put ourselves on sale and don’t allow the world to determine our value. She created a special 11 ways to be authentic. I loved the section on the power of I am and how we must be careful with what follows them.



I received this book free from Nelson Books for my honest review.”
