"I've learned that you don't have to wait for someone else to hand you the opportunity, sometimes you need to create it for yourself," she added. "This platform gives me the freedom to do that, and to bring my fans along with me in a way that feels real and personal. I'm so excited for this next chapter."

The memoir addresses Bertinelli's "insecurities that have haunted her for decades," including body image issues and a persistent need to be perfect.
"I'm excited if not a little nervous because this book is almost uncomfortably personal," Bertinelli told PEOPLE. "I'm hoping it reaches the right people so that they can see themselves in it and know that there's a way through all the challenges we have in our life."
Valerie's Place was developed with the new platform Visible Things and will be available on the App Store, Google Play, andValeriesPlace.com. Subscriptions offering early access and premium content start at $2 per month.
