Beyond the Velvet Ropes is out now. If you've come through something and made it to the other side, I wrote it for you. → jenarchuleta.com
This book lived in the back of my mind for over 20 years, before half the stories in it had even happened. People always told me, “You should write a book.”
Last August, I finally decided to do it. There were plenty of times I wanted to give up or put it off, but I truly believe God kept opening doors and giving me reasons to keep going.
In just over a year, I wrote and self-published Beyond the Velvet Ropes, released the audiobook, held my first book signing, launched The Velvet Circle book club, created apparel and bookmarks, and now have both a movie and a documentary in development. My book is available around the world!
For someone who spent so much of her life doubting herself because of her education, that’s a lot to take in. Self-publishing isn’t easy, and I don’t often give myself enough credit.
But this time I am. I’m proud of what I’ve built, and even more grateful for the people who tell me my story has helped them.
I said I was going to do it, and I did. 🤍

I love football, and especially coaching and leading young men. I've been around this game a long time, and I know the good ones when I see them.
Shout out to @CoachNickO1 for a big win last night. Down at the half, on the road, win or go home, and his guys found a way.
This one's personal. Nick coached my son Jett in 8th grade and took us to the Pop Warner national championship. That season is when I really saw Jett fall in love with playing the game. Nick builds a great environment, has no ego, and most importantly, connects with the kids. They feel it, and they play hard.
I can't stress this enough. For a family, the right coach is everything. Sadly, too few coaches get it. When you find one, you know.
Bittersweet on the other side. I've known a lot of those Chaparral players and their families for years and watched them grow up. Many of them feel like my own sons. That senior group has been through a lot. Their hard work didn't always match the results on Friday nights, but they kept showing up, and I'm proud of them.
This season I've seen Jett recapture the pure joy of playing again. I credit @coachconrad41. He's as good as I've been around. He runs it the right way, and he's the type of mentor young men need in their lives. It's been a privilege to be part of his staff.
Now we press onward!
Bye week behind us. #1 seed, defending champs, and a bracket full of the best teams in the state. We'll have to bring our A game every week. We've got a great group of young men, locked in, hungry and ready for the fight. Let's go!! @DMwolvesFB

Hats off to our defense- they balled out tonight.
Much love to Coach @Trace_Carroll , his players and his staff. Heck of a job he’s doing at Chap.
Down 6-0 at half, we came out and found a way to win. Proud of my guys.
First playoff win since 2008. @McClintock_FB
The real story is coming to life before the motion picture 🎬 Documentaries come together faster, so Beyond the Velvet Ropes, the documentary, is coming first, and I'm so excited for both projects.
Have an old photo of us, from my younger years all the way to LA? Email it to [email protected]. This inbox isn't monitored by me personally, but your photos will get to the right team member. Can't wait to bring this story to life ❤️

Here's my recap from tonight's game between Desert Mountain and Ironwood Ridge ⬇️

Another special moment for Beyond the Velvet Ropes! ❤️
So grateful to have my memoir featured in the Akron Beacon Journal’s Book Talk column, written by longtime book columnist Barbara McIntyre.
The column highlights books and authors of interest to Ohio readers, and I was honored to be featured alongside Cleveland mystery author Vivien Chien.
As a Youngstown girl, seeing my story recognized by another Ohio newspaper means so much. Thank you, Barbara, for including me and helping share my story!
beaconjournal.com/story/ente…
I threw a drink right in a famous NFL player’s face. And nearly lost everything I had worked for.
One impulsive moment at the Kentucky Derby changed everything.
I was suspended for an entire month. Golf appearances, NASCAR and a Bally’s casino promotion. Gone.
One month might not sound like much, but when you have a mortgage, car payments and a honeymoon you promised someone very special to you, it feels like everything.
I had spent years building a reputation for being professional, dependable and trusted. And in one heated moment, I went from being an asset to a liability.
The worst part? I knew I had done it to myself.
Then came an opportunity I almost turned down.
A rooftop in New York City. A gold bikini pinching against my skin. Heels wobbling beneath me. A smile I had to force.
I wanted to leave.
But I stayed.
And in just a few hours, I made $10,000. Enough to get back on my feet, take care of my responsibilities and keep a promise that meant the world to me.
Sometimes life doesn’t announce when it’s about to turn around.
One minute you’re overwhelmed, and the next, the sun hits your skin and you remember who you are.
One mistake can take everything away. One unexpected moment can save you.
That Mickey’s advertisement wasn’t just another modeling job. It helped me get back on my feet and reminded me that one bad decision didn’t have to define my reputation or my future.
From Chapter 16, Beyond the Velvet Ropes.

I love my job. Love going to practice and talking ball. I get to learn so much from the best coaches and players in the world. Liam Coen and his staff have always been so good about sharing real insight.
Had a great 20-minute conversation with DC Anthony Campanile about tackling after our meetings. Confirmed a lot of my ideas, but also gave me some new ways to teach it.
I'm excited for Patriots-Jaguars tomorrow!
This is why writing Beyond the Velvet Ropes was so important to me. Messages like this remind me why I told my story in the first place. It may not be a number one bestseller on every list, but when my story finds its way into the hands of women who may need it most, it becomes a number one seller in my heart. ❤️#beyondthevelvetropes jenarchuleta.com

Yes Sir! Blessed to have the Archuleta family join our program! @jettarchuleta0 has some juice! Big senior season incoming with @DMWolvesFB 🏆
Excited for my son @jettarchuleta0 to play his senior year for @coachconrad41.
Getting ready for a good camp circuit this summer and big senior year!
From Chapter 2: “Hard Work, Heavy Bags, and Open Doors”
I was 12 years old, working at a restaurant, when I slipped in the snow taking out a heavy trash bag and landed flat on my back. I remember lying there for a second, snow falling on my face, thinking, there has to be more than this.
After that came more jobs, including going door to door selling vacuums, learning how to hear no, keep smiling, and keep moving.
I’ve always worked hard. I’ve always been a little fearless.
I think somewhere along the way, life taught me that falling isn’t the end of the story. You get back up and keep climbing.

Chapter Nine: Snow and Silence
“My babies were gone, Ren and Ace. They had made it through everything with me. Through the darkest, ugliest chapters of my life. Those dogs had been there when I felt invisible to the world. They were my comfort, my witnesses, my reason to get out of bed.” jenarchuleta.com
