My life has never unfolded in a neat, chronological order.
It has zigzags, spirals, sudden stops, and moments that have changed me forever. I’ve lived through bipolar disorder, the unimaginable grief of losing a child, and the exhausting pressure of keeping a daily life running when the world inside me doesn’t always cooperate.

For years, I thought these experiences were separate pieces of me—unconnected fragments I had to hide or make sense of in private. But over time I discovered something unexpected:

These pieces belonged together.
They formed a rhythm.
A pattern.
A story worth sharing.

Bipolar Life

This is where I speak openly about mental health, emotions, hard days, resilience, and the truth behind healing. It is the part of my life that taught me courage through vulnerability.

PlannerAP (no dash)

Living with bipolar disorder taught me that traditional planning systems don’t always work for neurodivergent or emotionally complex minds. So I created systems that actually support real people with real mental health needs. PlannerAP is the structured, compassionate side of my world.

Planner-Ap (with a dash)

Then there’s the creative part of me—the teacher, the maker, the experimenter. Planner-Ap is where learning becomes playful and games become tools. It’s where education and creativity meet.

Chaos Caboose

And finally, there’s the chaos:
The unpredictable.
The funny.
The “you can’t make this stuff up” moments.
Chaos Caboose brings humor into the heaviness and reminds me that not everything needs to be solved—some things just need to be shared.

Why I Built This Hub

Because none of these things exist separately in my real life. They are woven together, influencing one another, shaping my days and my growth.

AnnPurdy.com is my hub—my home base.
A place where I can bring these worlds together to help others feel seen, supported, and less alone.

My hope for you

That whether you come here for honesty, structure, creativity, or laughter, you leave feeling a little lighter… a little more understood… and a little more capable of finding beauty in your own chaos.
