For the Girl I Used to Be

 

A Guide For BPD, suicidal ideation, tips and tricks, and how to best support someone you love whose struggling.

I didn’t always know how to explain what was happening in my mind.

Some days it felt like everything was too much, and other days I felt nothing at all. I learnt to smile, function, and survive — but not how to understand it.

For the Girl I Used to Be is a raw account of living with BPD, trauma, and suicidal ideation from the inside. It’s not written as a perfect recovery story, and it’s not here to pretend everything gets easy. It’s written from the middle of it — from the confusion, intensity, pain, and moments where staying felt impossible.

This book is part memoir, part guide, and part letter to the younger version of myself who needed someone to say, “I get it. You’re not broken. You deserve support that understands you.” Inside, you’ll find lived experience, identity reflections, coping tools, and words for people who love someone going through this.

This book won’t tell you to “just think positive.” It won’t minimise what you feel. It will sit with you in the dark. And remind you that you’re not alone in it. Because I used to be the girl who needed this book. And maybe you are too.

The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry–Go–Round

 

A mythic journey through the prisons of fear and a return to your true centre

What if the person you think you are is only half the story?
What if the prisons that bind you are not walls of stone, but whispers from your unconscious mind?

Have you noticed how certain patterns keep returning — the same arguments, the same disappointments, the same stories? You change jobs, you change partners, you move cities, even countries… and yet somehow, something familiar keeps repeating.

The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry-Go-Round is a mythic and visual journey through the Enneagram’s nine patterns, revealing how fear becomes identity and how unconscious reactions keep us circling old wounds.

Unlike traditional Enneagram books, this work does not approach the types as labels or descriptions alone. It transforms them into nine symbolic Kingdoms — living inner landscapes filled with Dragons, Archetypes, Rulers, Totems, and hidden Gardens of Essence. Through richly imagined drawings, story, symbol, and gentle wisdom, Hélène Grillot makes the unconscious visible.

This is not a book of self-improvement. It is a book of self-remembering. Each Kingdom reveals a different pattern of the human heart: the fear that whispers, the identity that forms around it, the survival strategy that repeats, and the forgotten essence waiting beneath it all.

At the centre of the journey lies the Sacred Garden of Essence — a place where nothing needs proving, only remembering. For readers drawn to the Enneagram, spiritual awakening, shadow work, inner healing, and the mystery of unconscious patterns, this book offers a different way forward: not through becoming someone new, but through seeing clearly what was never truly lost.

About the Author

 

Helene Grillot stands at the crossroads of psychology, spirituality, and myth. A French-born writernow based in Australia, she is a poet of consciousness and an Artisan of Awakening, whose workguides readers from the world of striving to the stillness of being.

Like Clarissa Pinkola Estés, she writes through archetypes and symbol; like Mark Nepo, shespeaks with contemplative intimacy. Yet her voice is uniquely her own – visionary and structured,born from direct mystical experience and a lifelong devotion to inner transformation.

She is the author of Just Be Yourself and The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry-Go-Round, a luminousexploration of the Nine Kingdoms of the Enneagram – reimagined as a mythic pilgrimagethrough the landscapes of fear and freedom. Through her companion course, Artisans ofAwakening, she invites others to recognise and release the unconscious patterns that quietly directtheir lives, and to awaken to the love that was never lost.

As an Artisan of Awakening, Helene’s voice does not instruct from above but invites fromwithin – revealing that true transformation is not self-improvement, but the art of rememberingwho we have always been.

The Lies Life Tells: And Why We Need Them

 

A Collection of True Stories of Life Behind the Mask

Beneath every smile is an untold story. In The Lies Life Tells: And Why We Need Them, Jess Timpano explores the quiet truths behind the faces we show the world. This deeply moving collection of real-life–inspired narratives uncovers the lies people live—fabricated personas, masked emotions, curated lives—not out of malice, but out of necessity.

Through raw, vulnerable storytelling, the book sheds light on how we often hide our struggles to protect ourselves, to belong, to cope, and sometimes simply to survive. Each chapter offers a glimpse into the unseen battles of individuals who wear masks not to deceive—but to breathe.

This book is for anyone who has ever felt the pressure to pretend. It is a reminder that behind every composed exterior is someone doing their best to hold it together.

Sometimes, the lies we tell aren’t to escape the truth—but to endure it.
