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.

From Chapter One
I was always smiling. It wasn’t a performance. It wasn’t a strategy. It was simply my face, this light, this involuntary beacon I carried into classrooms, family dinners, the streets and spaces of my childhood. I didn’t know it would one day feel like a liability, a flaw, a reason for people to question me, reject me, or worse, dismiss me entirely. I didn’t know it would become evidence against me.
When I was eight, my teacher stopped mid-lesson and called me out in front of the class.
“Why are you always smiling? What’s so funny?”
Her voice sliced the air. Everyone turned. I froze.
My smile faded. My insides dropped. I wasn’t laughing at anyone. I wasn’t mocking anyone. I just had that look, a look that said, “I want to be here, even if I don’t understand everything.”
In French, we have a phrase: être à côté de la plaque; off-base, out of sync. I didn’t realize until much later how this dissonance, this subtle mismatch between what I felt and what the world perceived, was shaping every corner of my childhood.
