Why I Wrote This Memoir

I wrote this memoir to share what I’ve learnt from a lifetime of living with mental health and neurodiversity challenges.

My journey through bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, and dyslexia has been complex, painful, and at times overwhelming. But it has also been an uplifting and inspirational journey of growth, resilience, and discovery.

This book is my honest account of:

• The early signs and struggles.

• The challenges of late-life diagnosis.

• Navigating relationships, education, and work while managing these conditions.

• The ongoing quest to find and maintain balance and peace of mind.

More Than a Story

‘Finding Peace of Mind’ is not just a personal memoir.

It’s also a reflective analysis of what has helped me — and what hasn’t. I’ve written it in the hope that my experiences can offer guidance and encouragement to others.

At its heart, this is a story of:

• Resilience through hardship.

• Practical learning from lived experience.

• The human capacity to keep going, even in our darkest times.

Practical Tools and a Surprise Gift

This memoir also includes practical guides with tips and strategies that readers can apply to their own lives.

And there’s something extra:

• Free access to SmartWisdom online training.

Why? Because I know from experience how difficult it is to focus, concentrate, and absorb information when living with mental health challenges or neurodivergence. SmartWisdom transformed my ability to be present, manage knowledge, and produce better results — and I want to share that benefit with others.

My Hope for Readers

I hope this book offers more than just understanding.

I want it to be a beacon of hope, showing that even in the toughest times, with the right help and tools, it’s possible to build a fulfilling life and find purpose.
