For more than a decade, audiences have known Shep Rose as the charismatic adventurer at the center of Bravo’s Southern Charm — the quick wit with a passport always ready, a story always unfolding, and a reputation for living life without hesitation.
Now, in his new memoir Nothing in Moderation, Shep tells the deeper story behind the public persona.
Part memoir, part reckoning, Nothing in Moderation traces Shep’s journey from the highs of reality television fame and endless excess to a point where the lifestyle that once felt exhilarating began to spiral into something far more dangerous.
At the center of the book is a pivotal turning point: a blackout weekend at BravoCon in Las Vegas that forced Shep to confront the possibility that his life had become unsustainable. What followed was an unconventional decision that would ultimately reshape the way he viewed himself, his relationships, and the future.
Rather than turning toward traditional methods, Shep traveled to Costa Rica to participate in a series of Ayahuasca ceremonies at Rythmia — an experience that became one of the most transformative periods of his life.
Written with humor, honesty, and surprising vulnerability, Nothing in Moderation explores the fine line between freedom and self-destruction, confidence and avoidance, entertainment and reality. The book doesn’t present easy answers or polished self-help conclusions. Instead, it offers something more rare: a candid account of someone attempting to course correct in real time.
Throughout the memoir, Shep reflects on friendship, fame, addiction, self-awareness, masculinity, and the pressure of maintaining a public image while privately struggling to understand who you’ve become.
The result is a deeply personal story that will resonate not only with longtime fans of Southern Charm, but with anyone who has ever questioned whether the life they built is still the life they truly want.
