Hi, I'm Jackie.
I'm a therapist. After my second baby, I went looking for a few new studies, just to make sure what I was teaching was still up to date.
It wasn't. The science of emotion had moved in ways most therapy training hasn't caught up to yet. It involves Darwin, the year 1872, and a book I had to read sitting up because it kept startling me.
One year learning the science. One year building the bridge. That bridge is The Selfhood Operating System, and everything I make that isn't therapy lives here, at The Selfhood Studio.
Who I built this for
For the last six years, the women finding their way to me have mostly been moms. High-performing. Doing well by every outside measure. Quietly lonely.
We sold them a story about motherhood that was supposed to feel fun and easy. They're running on less internal capacity than ever, and they've been told it's a character flaw.
It isn't. It's a body budget problem. And a structural one: who earns, who's the default parent, what role you got locked into growing up.
The part about therapy
I'm licensed in Texas. Only. If you don't live in Texas, I can't be your therapist. If you do, joining the Studio means I never will be. Not during, not after, not even if you bring snacks.
I am a therapist. I am not your therapist. What I teach here is education, not treatment. It sits alongside good therapy, not in place of it.
Have a therapist you love? Do not quit. Double down.
The rest of me
I grew up the family translator, the kid who could tell you the temperature of a room from the driveway. At eight I wanted to be a teacher. At twenty-two I was in grad school becoming a therapist. The line is embarrassingly straight.
Now I'm married to the funniest person I know, who says he "works at the sexy intersection of tax and IT." We have two kids: a five-year-old obsessed with math and spelling, and a three-year-old devoted to dinosaurs. I'm dyslexic, ADHD, and always rewatching The Office. My kids have learned not to touch the Nutella.
I'm not your guru. I'm not above any of this. I'm a person with a different map now, and I'd very much like to hand it to you.
Where to start
The free video. The Wrong Map is the front door. No pressure. No countdown.
Something small. The Scoreboard is five short lessons and a worksheet. About an hour, $47.
The full thing. The Selfhood Operating System is eight weeks, live, small on purpose. Doors open in December, and the waitlist hears first.
With love,
Jackie
