Carrie Thompson is currently a CPA (certified public accountant) working in regulatory reporting with a passion for numbers but an even greater passion for people.

In 2016, she was diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which, at the time, felt like a death sentence.

Since then, she has spent time exploring the world of mental health and educating herself on the causes and the cures.  Because of the isolation, she felt in the beginning, the more she learned, the more she shared and spoke up about the importance of monitoring our mental health.

During a period of self-discovery, she decided to combine her love of reading and people with her newfound knowledge and experience.

Writing a book to bring more awareness to the importance of mental health and the commonality of having a mental health disorder just seemed like the perfect fit.

Besides reading and writing, she loves to spend time with her family, friends and sweet kitty, Albie, fitness of any sort and baking.
