Hello, I’m Jodie!
The Author-Psychologist
I write Mindful Romances filled with heart, tension, and the beautiful complexity of becoming who we are.
My work is informed by my background as a psychologist and my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe stories can be more than an escape - they can be a way to understand the world inside us.
My goal is to help you turn your Internal Noise into a Narrative Map you can navigate with Radical Self-Trust.
