My mother was diagnosed with manic depression and then diagnosed as bipolar II disorder before I was even born.
She told me a story of sitting by herself during a consultation with a psychiatrist when she was 8, and started taking pills since then.

For most of my life growing up, I witnessed her suffer while her moods swung from mania to depression. I wanted to alleviate her pain but didn’t know what to do. So I’ve been seeking answers and a cure ever since not knowing that I’d be diagnosed with bipolar I disorder at the age of 33.

I kept my story hidden due to the stigma and shame associated with a mental illness. I didn’t want people to treat me differently or think I was broken, or scared that I’d get violent.

Until one day in September 2024, I realized I had cured myself from bipolar, and decided it was time to share my story publicly.

In my memoir BECOMING LOVE: My 19-year journey healing from bipolar disorder I share vulnerable and raw stories describing what has been for me to live with bipolar disorder, the highs and lows, and how the love from my husband Brett has been the most healing. Along with the powerful work of Dr. Nima Rahmany and his coaches Kim and Islena.

I wrote this book for you:
* Living with bipolar, and perhaps struggling, this is my message to you that you are not alone.
* Have a family member, a loved one, or a friend living with bipolar give you a perspective of what’s is like to live with this disease.
* Break down the stigma around mental illness, and in particular, bipolar disorder.
* Curious about bipolar.

My book will be available for order in late 2025 or early 2026.
