"If values are our compass, Watch Me is a roadmap for finding the courage to follow them. With clever metaphors and language that sticks, it names the invisible ways in which we hand over our agency, and it gives us permission to take it back. More than anything, this book leaves us feeling inspired to live a life that is unapologetically our own."
Dr. Robin Grumet, Ph.D., Psychologist
"Raw, honest, and humorous, this book is a practical guide to getting unstuck. An essential read for anyone ready to shatter their limiting beliefs."
Karen Moore, CEO & Founder The Fractional Pro
"I read a lot of books about creative mastery. This book concisely captures a turnkey process for channeling new perspectives as powerful catalysts for artful living. The writing is fast paced and weirdly exciting. It's a forceful pep-talk you didn't realize you needed. It will be less expensive than a therapy session, and a worthwhile investment in remembering who you are, and what you came here to do."
Stanley Bellwood, Musical Artist
"Aspiring writers send me manuscripts all the time, and I'm not easily impressed. This book absolutely blew me away. Breezy and eminently accessible, Watch Me is an eye-opening deep dive into what it takes to be an artist. It will be of value to anyone who has ever privately or publicly incubated a single creative idea. It's not a recipe book. There is no magic formula disclosed. Reading it won't make you a successful artist. Only you can do that. But the critical lesson is: you CAN do that. Watch Me essentially provides a set of keys that will help you unlock the artist already stirring inside you."
Michael Posner, Author & Journalist
"I have read many books intended to inspire and motivate personal growth. Rothstein's book is for anyone that knows they have greatness inside of them, but doesn't know how to share it with the world (or even acknowledge it within themselves). A must-read for all aspiring artists, or anyone that wants to level up and dream big."
Dr. Adina Weinerman
"Having worked with authors for many years, I know how difficult it is to find a voice that feels both deeply authentic and encouraging. In WATCH ME, Rothstein blends her own hard-earned experience with practical insights in a way that will resonate with anyone looking to build a more creative life."
Beth Lockley, Publishing Consultant, Former Vice-President, Marketing & Publicity, Penguin Random House Canada
"I'm probably not the typical audience for a book about creativity. I've spent my career as a project manager, focused on efficiency, organization, and getting things done. That's why Watch Me surprised me. While Rothstein writes from the perspective of an artist, this book isn't just for creatives. It's about believing in your ideas, taking action before everything is perfectly figured out, and not letting other people's doubts define what's possible. As I prepare to launch a new business, this book gave me a different way of thinking about progress. Instead of waiting until every detail was in place, it reminded me that sometimes you just have to start. That shift in perspective has been incredibly valuable. Honest, funny, and relatable, Watch Me is a book for anyone who's been waiting for the "right time" to go after something they really want."
Jess Swartz, CEO & Founder, J.E.S. Household Planning
"This book is for anyone who hesitates to pursue their creative dreams. It underlines the importance of listening to yourself, despite the whispers around you suggesting otherwise."
Erica Moscovitch, CEO & Founder, PLUSHFINDER
