Exiting the Matrix

—Available Now! 

“A simply beautiful and powerful testament to living a life of truth, light, and freedom.”
— Mahlet Mengistu, Book Reviewer

What has playing by the rules really gotten you? Burnout. Anxiety. Debt. And—if you’re lucky—two weeks paid vacation a year.

What if your life didn’t need escaping from? What if you could wake up every day curious, grounded, and genuinely excited for what comes next?

The truth? You’re not stuck because the game is rigged. You’re stuck because you’ve been playing to win—instead of playing for wonder.

Exiting the Matrix is part pep talk, part roadmap for curious misfits who want more time, more freedom, and a way to earn money that actually feels good.

 

What’s Included?

  • Ditch the mental programming that keeps you stuck in survival mode. This book will help you rewire beliefs, challenge limiting narratives, and adopt a mindset rooted in possibility, not permission.

  • Learn how to take back control of your days and design a rhythm that supports your nervous system, values, creativity, and joy—not just your to-do list or societal expectations.

  • Uncover income paths that align with your values, gifts, and lifestyle vision. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about building a business (or side hustle) you’re excited to wake up to.

  • Explore how the constant need for approval, likes, or gold stars keeps you trapped—and how to reconnect to your inner compass so you can make choices from joy, not fear.

  • This isn’t just inspiration—it’s implementation. From journaling prompts to decision-making frameworks, you’ll get grounded tools to help you exit the matrix one intentional step at a time.

I get it. I wrestled with the decision to put my book on Amazon too. In the end, I chose to use it for the built-in SEO (discoverability matters for new authors), the print-on-demand option (no need to pre-order or ship myself), and convenience.

But if you'd rather not send another dollar to Bezos and you're cool with a Kindle or PDF version, you can support me directly. Just scan the QR code below, send $6.49 via Zelle (preferred) or PayPal. You can also send it to my email nmpaulus@gmail.com on either platform. Be sure to include your email and whether you want a Kindle or PDF copy in the notes section—I’ll send it over ASAP.

Muchos besos, baby.

Besos > Bezos.

 
“Exiting the Matrix was exactly what I needed to read, inspiring and relatable. Its easy to follow with clear practical steps. I love her writing, the humour, the realness. I will re-read this again for certain! I’d say its for anyone who’s started questioning the status quo and wants to live a more unconventional life of joy, freedom and authenticity!”
