Upgrade You:

Simple Changes, Powerful Energy,

Infinite Potential

Upgrade You: Why THIS Is the Book You Need to Become Your Best Self (Without Losing Your Mind)

The New Year is here — that magical time when we all suddenly decide we’re going to be better humans. We buy fresh planners, new pens, overpriced water bottles, and tell ourselves things like:

“I will wake up at 5 AM.”
“I’m giving up sugar, dairy, bread, Netflix, and negativity.”
“I’m going to meditate for 45 minutes every morning.”

And by January 14th?
We’re eating cereal in bed, scrolling TikTok, and wondering why self-improvement feels like boot camp for the emotionally exhausted.

But what if upgrading yourself didn’t mean suffering, sacrificing joy, or becoming some robotic version of perfection?

Enter Upgrade You: Simple Changes, Powerful Energy, Infinite Potential — the self-improvement book that actuallygets it.

Why “Upgrade You” Is the New Year Book You Didn’t Know You Needed

Unlike those intense, guilt-inducing “fix your whole life by 5 PM” manuals, Upgrade You shows you how to become your best self through small shifts, big laughs, and actual real-life changes you can stick to.

No gurus.
No pressure.
No shame for choosing tacos over treadmill time.
Just honest, funny, practical wisdom from Dr. Rob Alex.

Inside the pages, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Make simple adjustments that elevate every part of your life
✔ Upgrade your energy without burning out
✔ Add metaphysical magic to everyday actions
✔ Build confidence and self-worth that last
✔ Stop chasing perfection and start celebrating progress
✔ Laugh at your mistakes instead of crying into cheesecake
✔ Create a life you love, without needing a yoga mat made of unicorn fur

This book isn’t here to “fix” you — you’re not broken.
It’s here to help you upgrade you… with humor, heart, and a whole lot of freedom.

New Year, New Energy: Why NOW Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade

January isn’t just a month — it’s a vibe.
It’s a metaphysical reset button wrapped in sparkly energy and fresh-start momentum.

You’re already thinking about changes.
You’re already imagining a better version of yourself.
And “Upgrade You” shows you EXACTLY how to do it without the burnout, shame, or 42-step morning routines that require a small team of assistants.

This New Year, don’t promise yourself you’ll be perfect — promise yourself you’ll be better, a little at a time.

That’s where the magic happens.
That’s where YOUR infinite potential wakes up.

---

Why Readers Are Loving “Upgrade You”

➡ It’s fun.
➡ It’s relatable.
➡ It’s profoundly honest.
➡ It feels like talking with your funniest, most encouraging friend.
➡ It gives you tools you can use TODAY — not someday.

Readers aren’t just reading the book — they’re laughing, reflecting, clearing out old energy, shedding outdated habits, and upgrading everything from their mindset to their relationships.

What Makes It Different From Every Other New Year “Change Your Life” Book?

Realness. Humor. Humanity. And metaphysical goodness.

This book acknowledges:

• You’re busy

• You’re human

• You’ve tried self-improvement before

• And you’re tired of feeling like you're “not enough”

Upgrade You flips the script.
It says you are enough — and now it’s time to build on that foundation in small, powerful steps.

Like cleaning your inner energy junk drawer.
Or learning to say “no” without writing a four-paragraph apology.
Or celebrating tiny wins that add up to big transformation.

---

The New Year Is Coming… and So Is the New YOU

This is the year you stop fixing yourself and start upgrading yourself.
This is the year you accept your quirks, honor your energy, raise your standards, and step into your potential without pressure or perfectionism.

Let the Universe see you shine.
Let your life expand.
Let your spirit recharge.

And let Upgrade You guide you through the journey — with laughter, heart, and a whole lot of “you’ve got this.”

Why You Should Be Listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast

There are approximately 47 billion podcasts in the world.

Okay, I made that number up.

But some days it certainly feels like it.

So why should you add the Make Peace With Life Podcast to your listening list?

Because we're trying to do something a little different. We aren't here to convince you that your life is completely screwed up and that you need seventeen steps, nine supplements, three seminars, and a retreat on a mountain to fix yourself.

Our message starts somewhere much simpler:

You are not broken.

You might be confused sometimes. You might be stressed. You might make questionable decisions. You may occasionally walk into a room and completely forget why you're there.

Welcome to being human.

And that's exactly what we talk about.

Metaphysics Without Taking Ourselves Too Seriously

The Make Peace With Life Podcast explores the strange, wonderful, frustrating, funny, spiritual, energetic, and occasionally completely ridiculous adventure of being alive.

We talk about metaphysics, happiness, energy, relationships, spirituality, personal growth, music, travel, mysteries, everyday observations, and those weird little things about life that make you stop and think:

"Wait... why DO we do that?"

One episode might have us talking about positive energy and finding happiness.

Another might take us into Crystal Skulls, Bigfoot, national parks, the energy of crowds, or why relaxing can somehow become exhausting.

That's the beauty of Making Peace With Life.

Everything is connected.

And sometimes the deepest spiritual revelation arrives while you're stuck in traffic, standing in the slowest grocery-store checkout line, listening to a song you haven't heard in twenty years, or staring at a lava lamp.

Enlightenment apparently has a strange sense of humor.

We're Not Trying to Give You a Perfect Life

Perfect lives sound incredibly boring.

We'd rather help you find the extraordinary energy already hiding inside your imperfect life.

The Make Peace With Life philosophy isn't about eliminating every problem.

It's about changing your relationship with life.

Laugh more.

Explore more.

Question things.

Be curious.

Notice energy.

Stop comparing yourself to everybody else.

Find the things that make you feel alive.

And maybe become a little more comfortable with the beautifully weird person you already are.

If you finish an episode feeling a little happier, thinking about something differently, or laughing about something you hadn't considered before...

We've done our job.

But We Need Your Help

Here's where you become part of this.

We want to grow the Make Peace With Life community and get this message in front of as many people as possible.

The Make Peace With Life Shirt Movement

 

Free Shipping, Good Vibes & Looking Cool: The Make Peace With Life Shirt Movement

Let’s be honest…

There are few things in life more disappointing than finding the perfect shirt online, adding it to your cart, emotionally committing to it, and then suddenly getting attacked by shipping costs at checkout like:

“Surprise! That’ll be another $12.95 for the privilege of fabric transportation.”

Not anymore.

The Make Peace With Life shirts now come with FREE SHIPPING, because we believe getting something that spreads positivity, purpose, and good energy throughout the universe shouldn’t also require taking out a small loan to cover delivery fees.

That’s right.
You now get to pay less… for a shirt that actually gives you more.

More comfort.
More positivity.
More connection.
More style.
More energetic awesomeness.

And honestly?
That feels like a pretty solid life decision.

But these shirts are more than just soft fabric and cool designs. They’re part of something bigger. Every time someone wears a Make Peace With Life shirt, they’re putting a message into the world that people genuinely need right now. In a world where stress, negativity, division, and doom-scrolling seem to compete for Olympic gold medals every single day, a simple positive message can actually shift someone’s energy. You never know who might see your shirt while standing in line for coffee, walking through the grocery store, or surviving another painfully awkward family gathering. One person reads “Make Peace With Life” and suddenly pauses for a moment. Maybe they smile. Maybe they breathe easier. Maybe they realize they’ve been way too hard on themselves lately. That’s real energy. That’s impact.

Because positivity spreads.

Energy spreads.

And yes… apparently cool shirts spread too.

There’s something powerful about wearing a message that reminds people life doesn’t have to be perfect to still be meaningful. These shirts quietly say:

“Hey… maybe we can all chill out a little, breathe deeper, and stop acting like every inconvenience is a full-scale spiritual emergency.”

And honestly, the world could use more of that.

Plus, let’s not ignore an important scientific fact:
These shirts also make you look cool.

Not just “nice shirt” cool.
We’re talking:

• grounded-but-fun cool
• peaceful-with-good-energy cool
• probably-gives-great-life-advice cool
• somehow-both-spiritual-and-hilarious cool

That kind of cool.

And the best part is these shirts are for everyone.

It doesn’t matter:

• who you are
• what you believe
• what music you listen to
• whether you meditate daily or just aggressively overthink in silence
• whether you hike mountains or simply climb out of bed after hitting snooze four times

The Make Peace With Life message belongs to all of us.

Because peace is universal.
Growth is universal.
Human struggle is universal.
And wanting a comfortable shirt with free shipping is definitely universal.

At the end of the day, this movement has always been about more than clothing. It’s about connection, positivity, humor, perspective, and reminding people that even in the middle of life’s chaos, there’s still room for peace, laughter, kindness, and growth. Every shirt shared in the world becomes another small ripple of good energy moving outward into the collective human experience.

So yes…
You’re getting free shipping.

But you’re also helping spread a message the world desperately needs.

And honestly?
That’s a pretty good deal.

Why Does She Copy Me?: (Recognizing and Understanding Mirroring)

 

Why Does She Copy Me?:

(Recognizing and Understanding Mirroring)

Synopsis: When a young student complains about another child who imitates her, compassionate Ms Kindly educates the student in a different way than the usual book learning.

Common to children on the autism spectrum, 'mirroring‛ is a behavior that imitates others‛ social behaviors. A child on the autism spectrum uses mirroring in an attempt to learn how to act appropriately in social situations.

VA Rivera helps readers recognize and understand mirroring behavior in a light and lively way using rhyming stanzas. VA Rivera creates an effective way for children and adults to help those on the autism spectrum feel understood and befriended.

"Why Does She Copy Me?" also comes translated into Spanish!

on Amazon 

Understanding Mirroring: A Children's Book That Encourages Compassion for Autism

Children often notice differences before they understand them. When one child repeatedly copies another's words, actions, or mannerisms, it can easily lead to frustration, confusion, or hurt feelings. But what if that behavior isn't intended to annoy anyone? What if it is actually a child's way of learning how to connect?

These are the questions explored in Why Does She Copy Me?: Recognizing and Understanding Mirroring by VA Rivera.

Rather than approaching autism through medical explanations or complicated terminology, Rivera introduces young readers to the concept of mirroring through an engaging story centered around a caring teacher, Ms. Kindly. When one student complains that another child keeps copying her, Ms. Kindly transforms the situation into an opportunity for empathy and understanding.

Mirroring is a behavior commonly seen in some children on the autism spectrum. By imitating the speech, movements, and social behaviors of others, these children are often trying to understand how to interact successfully with the world around them. While this behavior may seem unusual to peers, it is frequently an important learning strategy.

Rivera presents this concept through playful rhyming stanzas that make the subject approachable for children while remaining informative for parents, teachers, and caregivers. The rhythmic storytelling keeps young readers engaged without making the educational purpose feel overwhelming.

One of the book's greatest strengths is its positive perspective. Instead of encouraging children to judge differences, it encourages them to ask questions, practice kindness, and recognize that everyone learns differently. The story demonstrates that understanding someone else's experience can turn confusion into friendship.

For educators, the book provides an excellent conversation starter for classrooms promoting inclusion and social-emotional learning. Parents may also appreciate how naturally the story opens discussions about autism, empathy, and respecting differences without becoming overly technical.

Adding to its accessibility, Why Does She Copy Me? is also available in Spanish, allowing even more families and classrooms to benefit from its important message.

Author VA Rivera brings both creativity and educational experience to her writing. As a poet, educator, and creative writer, she believes imagination is one of humanity's greatest gifts. Through her poetry workshops, she encourages children to develop creative thinking while expressing themselves through original writing.

At its heart, Why Does She Copy Me? reminds readers that understanding often begins with compassion. Sometimes a simple explanation can completely change how children see one another, replacing misunderstanding with acceptance and friendship.
