“Above all, be the heroine in your life, not the victim.” Nora Ephron

Kirsty Mills was born in the cultural centre of the universe (known as Nairn, Scotland) in 1992. For reasons still unknown to her, she studied chemistry at the University of Edinburgh and has since worked in pharmaceuticals and renewable energy.

After being diagnosed with autoimmune liver disease at 20, she has spent the last fourteen years playing NHS Department Bingo. After turning 30, Kirsty had a wee bit of a millennial life crisis and decided to write a memoir about the impacts of chronic illness.

Kirsty aims to raise awareness of autoimmune conditions, reduce the stigma of liver disease, and advocate for organ donation. Her memoir, Get Well Soon, will be published in December 2025.
