Canadian non-fiction writer, future novelist, x-ray technologist, mental health advocate.
Known for her honesty and deep vulnerability, Miriam Verheyden writes books about love, fear, mental health, sobriety, and being a woman in the world. She walks a lot, doesn't believe in regrets, and has learnt that owning your story will set you free.
Miriam grew up in Germany and dropped out of college at age 23 to move to Canada to be with her much-older, father-of-4, not-quite-divorced-yet lover. It's a great story with a happy ending, so she wrote her first book Let's Pretend This is Normal about it.
Her second book Quit the Hustle explores our society's unhealthy obsession with the hustle, and the danger of a culture that continually wants us to feel that we are not good enough.
In her latest book Everything is Broken and Completely Fine she openly shares what it's like to live with mental illness, her history of self-medicating with alcohol, and her experience of being a healthcare worker during the pandemic.
