Born in the Wrong Chair:
A Neurodivergent Journey to Truth, Healing, and Action
Why This Book Exists
Born in the Wrong Chair is not just a memoir — it is a blueprint for anyone who has ever felt different, misunderstood, or unseen. I grew up caught between cultures, expectations, and diagnoses that never seemed to explain who I really was. From childhood struggles and late-diagnosed neurodivergence to addiction, boxing rings, and boardrooms, this book tells my story of survival, discovery, and transformation.
Through that journey, I uncovered what I now call The Three Stages of Awareness: Knowing, Awareness, Acting — a framework that helps people move from confusion to clarity, from paralysis to purposeful action. This method is woven through the book, giving readers not just my story, but tools to reflect on and transform their own.
What’s Inside
Raw Stories → moments of chaos, resilience, and self-discovery told without filters.
A Practical Framework → The Three Stages of Awareness: a step-by-step guide to recognizing truth, building self-awareness, and taking action.
Accessible Insights → clear, compassionate explanations of neurodivergence, drawn from lived experience and supported by research.
Tools & Reflections → journaling prompts, exercises, and practices to help readers ground the lessons in their own lives.
This book is for the child who feels “different.” For the parent who doesn’t understand but wants to. For the adult who still asks, “Why am I like this?” And for anyone who believes that change begins when we tell the truth about who we are.
