MEET JAMIE

​

Hi there. I'm Jamie, but some people call me James.

​

I’m a former expressive arts therapist turned health coach and curriculum developer. I’m currently the Senior Editor of Updates at Health. I've also worked as the Spotlight Writer for the National Stuttering Association, an organization near and dear to my heart. 

​

I birthed this blog as a place to share stories and tidbits on health, mindset, and relationships that I’ve learned along this crazy adventure we call life. In 2019, I stumbled into a somewhat accidental shift. Two weeks after our successful IVF (after two years of fertility efforts), Broadway shut down. My husband and I fled midtown Manhattan and landed in my childhood home.

​

I started writing my daughter letters during my COVID pregnancy (inspired by the movie Waitress, full disclosure), and I just kept going. These letters are one mother's humble attempt to capture everything I would otherwise forget while inadvertently offering detailed documentation of child development. In this mindblowing journey of parenting a human through infancy, toddlerhood, and beyond, I'm glad to have you along for the ride.
