A Memoir of Healing from Family Estrangement

ABOUT VIG

Hello, I’m Vig, an Irish-Norwegian author, memoir mentor and podcast host. At twenty-four I bought a one-way ticket to Australia, never imagined how profoundly that journey would shape my life’s course. Alongside my husband and daughter, I’ve travelled and lived in London, Bangkok, Cairo and Athens. 

Through curiosity and passion for understanding human emotions and how our past impacts of future, I uncovered how reframing our narratives can transform our lives through the creative act of writing. I invite you to embrace the power of ‘Therapy on the Page’ — a gentle and transformative approach to help you find truth and healing in YOUR story.
