From the Author:
“I have learned that I am more than my diagnosis, I am a daughter, sister, spouse, mother, and auntie. I am a community member, employee, advocate, friend, and a peer with lived experience of recovery. I am a singer and song writer, musician, artist, poet, and so much more. I now like to say … I may have Bipolar, but it doesn’t have me! I also believe it stands for Beautiful Person!”

“Michelle has a huge heart and ability to inspire others to achieve optimal wellness through sharing her personal journey, dedication and with such diligence to her work as a Peer Supporter and Facilitator. Her unique talents and gifts she shares in her personal journey has inspired and supported me to believe recovery is possible and to continue to find balance and to never give up, but rather rise above and conquer my challenges one step and one day at a time.” — Sherry Stasiuk, WRAP Facilitator, AHS, Peer Navigator, CMHA
“Dear Michelle, the extent to which your book profoundly shifted my mind and emotions is not possible to fully convey to you … I am still processing it myself. It has sparked a mind-shift and motivated action in me that I can’t explain … I’m going to write about it to help me process the feelings!” — Love & Hugs, Cathy Chapman, WRAP Facilitator
“I like that your book is an ‘if I can do it, you can do it’ kind of book.” — Kelly Black, Husband
