Meet the Thought Snob Herself, Paula Swope
Paula describes herself as a nerd disguised in Gucci sunglasses and 4” Jimmy Choos who will choose a scholarly article over something petty any day of the week. The 300,000+ people who follow her teachings call her the most relatable self-help author they have ever known.
She is the author of Thought SNOB: The Modern Spiritual Playbook For A Better Life. Her book is a blend of science, spiritual relatability, and humor that takes readers into unchartered territory—their soul. She simplifies complex concepts so anyone can adopt a lifestyle where emotional intelligence, mindful awareness, and faith replace ignorance, disempowerment, and lies. If you have been touched by poverty or disempowering socialization, you've found your home with Paula and can live here forever.
Paula leads and teaches with wisdom garnered through personal experiences, but she's also highly credentialed to help you become a magnet for the life you really want. She earned three certifications from the prestigious Chopra Center and trained under Dr. Deepak Chopra and his staff of self-empowerment gurus for three years.
She has been featured in wildly popular publications like Tiny Buddha, Authority Magazine, and numerous others. Paula regularly appears on self-help podcasts to discuss nontraditional healing modalities, conscious creation, and anything related to self-empowerment, but you can't forget her podcast. Paula, alongside her husband, Will, created The Thought Snob Podcast with Paula Swope, and its first episode aired on June 4, 2024. Since then, the podcast has had over 20,000 downloads! It's another free resource Paula offers to help you heal and tap into your inner wisdom. Check it out here.
In addition to her certifications from the Chopra Center, she has a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in public administration. Before Paula became an author, she had a remarkable run in fundraising, securing $60M for impoverished and underserved populations nationwide. When she isn’t working, which is rare, she loves high-end shopping, spa time, and checking out new restaurants. She’s also an avid music lover with a diverse taste in what she listens to. Scrolling through her iTunes might confuse some people. After all, it's odd to see a playlist that includes Patsy Cline, Machine Gun Kelly, Elvis Presley, and Jay-Z, but that's Paula for you.
If you want something, you're meant to have it. That's why you want it! God speaks to you through those burning desires that won't go away. Act on those. And God forbid don't you dare settle for what you don't want because what you want doesn't suit someone else.
The Book That Is Changing the Self-Empowerment Space
After three years of hard work, Thought Snob: The Modern Spiritual Playbook For A Better Life is now available on Amazon in three formats: Paperback, Kindle, and Audiobook. You can purchase your copy here.
Thought Snob is an idea that spawned from what I was told as a child – “Girl, ye’ getting’ above ye’ raisin.’” SNOB is an acronym for See New Objective Beliefs. I developed Thought Snob to help people clean out the garbage in their subconscious minds. My subconscious used to be a landfill. Now, it looks more like the grounds at the Biltmore Estate.
I cleaned it up using SNOB. Instead of living by subjective beliefs, which are nothing more than the opinions of others, I looked at the facts. When you look at the facts, you realize that most of your thoughts are not true.
I made significant investments to bring this book to life and position it as a best-seller. When I decided to self-publish, my husband and I started our own publishing company! Thought Snob: The Modern Spiritual Playbook for a Better Life is the first publication from Better Than That Publishing.
I am also beaming with pride to announce that my famous author friend, Alanna Nash, edited my book. By the time she worked her magic on the manuscript, it was immaculate. If someone had told me 25 years ago, when I started reading Alanna's books, that she would one day be my editor, I would have said, "Bullshit." The Universe works in mysterious ways.
"It is rare that a first-time writer comes with such a fully realized self-help book, but Paula Swope has done just that. How? Because she lived it. If the S.N.O.B. method she so meticulously developed worked for her, it can work for you. She is living proof that life can turn from grim to glorious." ~Alanna Nash
