Plot twist: Your thoughts aren't facts 🧠✨

Someone once told me that the voice in my head isn't always telling the truth and I haven't been the same since.

Your inner voice can be harsh, critical, and downright mean sometimes. But here's the thing—just because it's loud doesn't mean it's right. It's often just fear, past wounds, or anxiety talking.

Learning to question your inner critic instead of automatically believing it? Game changer.

Joe Goldberg is NOT a good guy.
Not a good boyfriend. Definitely not a good neighbor.
But… he is weirdly great at hyping up the woman he’s obsessively stalking?? 🤷‍♀️

When I had to write a letter to my future self after making a vision board, I started with “Hey you…” — and immediately heard Penn Badgley’s voice in my head.

So I leaned into it.

I wrote the letter like Future Me had already crushed every goal… then asked AI to Joe-ify it. Think: romantic stalker narration meets self-congratulatory pep talk. (“Of course you did. I knew before you did.” 😅)

Turns out? It’s way less awkward to receive glowing praise from your imaginary serial killer cheerleader than it is to pat yourself on the back.

Homework has never been this unhinged.
(Or this fun.)

P.S. No one was stalked in the making of this video. Just me. By me. .

No filler words while doing something was WAY more difficult than sitting and talking using no filler words.

I rambled so much more than I thought, lost my train of thought, said "and" way too many times and said "UM"

Coming soon.. my Joe Goldberg future letter to myself.

We spent yesterday resetting and reconnecting as a team—yoga, positive affirmations, heartfelt compliments, and a closing circle were just a few highlights. Thank you to everyone who showed up and opened your heart; I’m so grateful for these moments of genuine connection.

Even though my role involves talking to people all day, sometimes it can feel isolating. Moments like these remind me of the power of coming together as a team.

I’m an 'email preferred' human. In a perfect world, every inquiry would come through my online portal. But the reality is that many clients reach out via phone when they are in need of connection, and that deserves a response.

Because I want to show up as my best self (and because phone anxiety is real!), I have a ritual. Before I call a client back, I jot down exactly what I need to say. I script my voicemails word-for-word.

It might seem like a small thing, but reading from my notes helps me stay grounded and ensures I don't miss important details while my brain is busy doing the 'phone call jitters.' If you’re a professional who still gets nervous making calls—you aren’t alone. We’re all just out here with our handwritten scripts, doing our best.

I hope the more I answer phones the better I get 🤞🤞

are you an email person or a phone person?

Is your search history filled with s*xual health questions you're afraid to ask out loud?

Hi, I'm Jaimie. As a s*xual health counsellor, I know the internet can be a rabbit hole of confusing, and often shaming, information. My goal is to be the exact opposite of that.

I provide a space where no question is off-limits and no feeling is invalid. We can talk openly about:
→ Anxiety around s*x
→ How you feel about your body
→ Guilt, shame, or embarrassment
→ Navigating p**n and s*xual fixations
→ Healing from trauma

You deserve clarity, confidence, and peace. Let's talk. 💬

Talking about s*x doesn't have to be awkward.

🚨 Breaking news 🚨

Just realized Captain Hook and I share a very specific arch-nemesis.

His is a crocodile with a ticking clock that’s always moments away.
Mine is a clock with no ticking... that’s always moments away from me accidentally letting your session run 30 minutes over.

Today I faced my foe head-on. New batteries installed. Crisis averted.

P.S. No crocodiles were harmed during this intervention.
P.P.S. For my clients: You are safe. We will not be stuck in an endless therapy session every room has a back up clock.
