Foundation to Wellness, is honoured to host and welcome local author 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗮 𝗝 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 for the release of her newest book, *Who Told You This Was True? — Questioning What We Believe About Healing, Strength and Who We Were Meant to Be.*
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
Why do we believe some emotions are acceptable while others should be hidden? Why do we admire people who never seem to fall apart? Why do we praise independence when so many people are struggling silently? And how much of what we believe about healing, grief, trauma, ADHD, identity and strength did we actually choose for ourselves?
Drawing from lived experience, Pippa brings together the parts of being human that are so often spoken about separately. Grief. Trauma. ADHD. The nervous system. Identity. Relationships. Healing. The roles we learn to play and the beliefs we carry without ever stopping to ask where they came from.
As part of the launch, Pippa will be giving a talk about her journey as a writer and advocate — how writing became a way to make sense of lived experience, give language to difficult conversations and speak about the things people often struggle to put into words.
She will also share more about the advocacy work that has grown alongside her writing, the importance of using lived experience to create awareness, and why telling our stories can help challenge assumptions, open conversations and make others feel less alone.
This will be a chance to hear more about the story behind the book, ask questions, connect, purchase a copy and have it personally signed.
