Brienne Hicks: Author of bipolHER

A Chat with Heart - with Christina Martin

Christina chats with author Brienne Hicks about her favorite time of year, taking risks in business and life, and her experience living with a mental variation.
BipolHER, the first book by Brienne Hicks, is a gripping memoir about the reality of living with mental illness. Her frank and honest style chronicles not only her personal struggles but also those of a parent and a member of society. Brienne, a native of Sarnia, Ontario, credits her Grandpa, John Sawer for inspiring her to write bipolHER.

A passionate advocate for addiction and mental health, Brienne’s other interests include cooking and entertaining (on her good days), exploring new places with her daughter and enjoying the beauty of nature.
