A mindfulness mentor from Haywards Heath is sharing her powerful story to help anyone struggling to rise from life’s darkest moments to focus on living with clarity, compassion and unapologetic strength. In Golden Scars, Mandi blends raw storytelling with practical techniques rooted in hypnotherapy and emotional anchoring, as she guides readers through a transformative process of acknowledgement, healing and returning to themselves.

Fifteen years ago, Mandi was thrust into the harsh regime of a Category A prison for crimes she did not commit, just six months after becoming a mum to a premature baby for the first time. Initially separated from her son, she was then forced into a mother and baby unit hundreds of miles away from her family. Her ordeal began not with guilt, but with poverty: unable to afford private legal representation, she relied on legal aid. The system, stacked against her limited financial resources, coerced her into entering a guilty plea for crimes she had never committed.

In a world where innocence has to be proven, Mandi became a casualty of a justice system that presumed guilt. Having transformed her own life and retrained as a mindset mentor Author Mandi Lines says, “Golden Scars is inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold to create something more beautiful and resilient. This book reveals how to embrace any cracks in life as golden seams of wisdom and worth.My journey has been one of transformation and I want to show others how it’s possible for them too.” The book provides daily tools and techniques to help build emotional resilience and mental clarity whilst inviting readers to reflect on:

• How to reframe pain and past experiences as powerful catalysts for growth
• The impact of language, belief systems and subconscious patterns on healing
• Ways to release internal blocks and move forward with strength
• The art of rebuilding to thrive

Golden Scars is written for anyone who identifies with being a survivor, seeker or simply in need of hope, who is looking to shine. As Mandi beautifully reminds readers throughout her story: You are not broken. You are becoming. With chapters including Finding Your Pieces, Changing Beliefs and Finding Your Gold, Mandi reveals how it is possible to find strength and resilience even when none can initially be seen.

Golden Scars: A Guide for Anyone Ready to Rebuild, Rise, and Wear Their Story with Strength will be published on Tuesday 3rd February 2026
