Hello, I’m Jodie!
Author | Psychologist | Creator of the Inner Library
I know what it’s like to lose ourselves to the pace and pressures of life - and feel out of touch with who we are.
As a young adult fiction author and psychologist, I create stories and tools that help readers, educators, and parents use fiction as a bridge to emotional resonance, inner clarity, and moments of meaning and transformation.
