Writing the Change: One mum's journey to raise awareness about her son's OCD through fiction

Being a mum can make writing a challenge, but it can also be a source of inspiration and drive. Lisa Bournelis is a mum and change management specialist who recently published a children's novella about her son’s experiences with OCD during the pandemic, Louie and the Dictator. 

In this episode she shares how her son's struggle motivated her to write her debut book and what she hopes to accomplish it. She also shares change management tools that she applied (and you can, too) to get the book done in an impressively short time-frame despite feeling overwhelmed as a newcomer to the publishing industry.  

Connect Lisa via her website: https://makeoneshift.com or via Instagram: @makeoneshift. Lisa will be hosting a book signing at the Chapters / Indigo in downtown Vancouver (1033 Robson Street), on Saturday, 21st May from 1-3 pm. Learn more about the genesis of Louie and the Dictator in Lisa's recent TedX talk, Three Questions that will Change Your Life, https://youtu.be/-phsazjlhkc.
