51. Gayle Wilson: Break Waves, Breaking Silences

  • Local Stories Lounge 60 View Street Bendigo, VIC, 3550 Australia (map)

The Power of Uncomfortable Conversations: In this raw memoir, Gayle invites readers to walk alongside her through the darkest corners of family struggle—the deep disconnect and dysfunction caused by undiagnosed mental illness and addiction, eventually resulting in life-altering tragedy. With unmatched honesty and relatability, Gayle opens her heart, sharing the "warts and all" moments of her journey to healing so that others, too, can feel seen and understood in their own struggles, all while feeling inspired to boldly step into change. With a wicked sense of humour, heart full of ambition, and deep passion for helping others, Gayle offers not only her story but a beacon of hope for those seeking to heal and rebuild the relationships that matter most. This book is for anyone searching for strength, resilience, and a brighter, more connected future.
