Naked Ambition

Why You Should Quit Dressing For Approval and Just Go Nude

Okay, let’s get one thing straight: I love clothes. I’m not some nudist zealot running around in the streets screaming “Clothing is the enemy!” (Though, if you’ve ever seen me trying to find the perfect outfit for a night out, you might almost think that’s the case). But hear me out—there’s something ridiculously freeing about ditching the clothes altogether. Something about walking around naked, without a single piece of fabric holding you back, just makes you feel like you’ve cracked some kind of secret code to life. I mean, why would I spend hours hunting down the perfect pair of jeans when I can just… not wear them at all?

I remember the first time I really got it. I was at a nudist retreat (yes, one of those), and it took me exactly 30 minutes to realize: this is what freedom feels like. I’m standing there, totally naked, like “Oh my God, I’m not just exposed—I’m liberated!” It was like the universe suddenly showed me the light. All my insecurities, my fears about looking “too fat,” or my hair not being “on point” just melted away. Why? Because when you’re naked, all the superficial stuff goes out the window. You're left with only one thing—you. And guess what? You’re awesome, just as you are.

Now, don't get me wrong. I still occasionally put on clothes when I go out in public (because apparently there’s this thing called “society” that frowns upon walking into a café in your birthday suit). But I started to realize that the more I embraced this naked mentality—both physically and mentally—the less I cared about whether I was wearing the “right” thing. And it’s honestly been a total game-changer for me.

But before you get all “Kristin, are you seriously suggesting I just walk around naked all the time?”—no, I’m not. At least not for everyone. But here’s what I’m saying: the sooner you stop dressing for approval and start dressing (or not dressing) for yourself, the sooner you’ll start feeling like a whole new person. A better person. A person who is more confident, more grounded, and more willing to take risks in every area of their life—whether that’s at work, in relationships, or yes, even in dating.

Through this book, I’m going to walk you through my journey of going from “overthinking every outfit I put on” to literally walking around with nothing but my skin and a big smile. I’ll share stories, a few awkward moments (because, come on, we all have those), and a whole lot of laughs. You’re going to learn how to break free from the chains of societal expectations, stop worrying about what other people think, and start living authentically—in whatever way feels right for you.

But let’s be real here. At the end of the day, this isn’t just about nudism. It’s about breaking free from the toxic need for external validation in every area of your life. Whether you’re naked, clothed, or somewhere in between, you have to start loving yourself first, and everything else will follow.

So, if you’re ready to peel back those layers (and I mean that both figuratively and literally), come along with me. Let’s get to the good stuff—the fun stuff—the stuff that makes you say, “Why the heck didn’t I do this sooner?”
