i can feel you staring at my camel toe.

Stop it right now! I know, I know. It’s like a car accident—you can’t help it. I just really like that picture and I don’t do Photoshop. So camel toe it is. It just shows that I’m human, right? I mean, humans get camel toes. I blame yoga pants.

Are you still there?

Hi, I’m Jamie. And camel toes are just one of the many important topics I cover. (If you don’t have a sense of humor we should probably part ways now.) OK, let’s get serious for a sec.

I know there are a ton of blogs out there, and that more and more people are popping up all over the place talking about personal growth and spiritual development. But I would like to think that I bring a little something different.

i write like i talk. nothing is off limits. i hide nothing. i don’t filter. i don’t sugarcoat. i don’t pretend my life is perfect.

I tell stories that might even make you cringe. Or cry. And hopefully laugh. I share experiences from my life—experiences that many might not even tell their closest friends—because keeping secrets almost killed me.

I NEVER WANT ANYONE TO EVER FEEL AS ALONE AS I DID, AND THAT IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO.

alcoholism, eating disorders, sexual abuse, shame, isolation, numbing, jealousy, people-pleasing, performing, pretending, codependency, fear, insecurity, self-hatred, anxiety, perfectionism—and the list goes on—are just a part of my story. 

(Oh, and camel toes.)

I’m not here to preach to you or tell you the secret cure to any of these issues; I still struggle with many of them and will never tell you otherwise. I am just here to be with you as you navigate your way through these same issues, and hopefully offer some words of wisdom from my own experience. I am fortunate to have had incredible teachers who continue to guide me along the way, and I know that it is my calling to share the love.

My blog is just the beginning; I know I will do so much more. The world is my oyster. And the world is yours, too. But let’s not do this thing alone. Let’s lean on each other.

and if nothing else, i invite you to lean on me.

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALREADY.

XO, Jamie
