Who I Am — And Why I Care This Damn Much: Because you deserve to know the woman behind the words.
You don’t need another voice telling you to drink more water or manifest your peace. You need someone who sees through the “I’m fine.” Someone who understands what it means to carry too much for too long. Someone who believes in healing out loud — not just holding it in.
So here I am.
My name is Jamie Codispoti. I’m a licensed therapist. I’m a mother.
I’m someone who has walked through my own hell and helped countless women do the same. And I created this work — these journals — because I am a fierce, unapologetic believer in the power of healing. Because I know what silence can do to a person.
And because I’ve seen what happens when we finally start to speak.
Writing Was My Safe Place — And It Still Is
When I was seven, my parents divorced. The dynamic between them was chaotic — but my life wasn’t. My mother made sure of that.
She created safety. She created stability. But even with that love and protection, I still needed somewhere to put the feelings I didn’t have words for yet. And that place became writing.
I grew up knowing that writing made me feel better. Not because someone told me to journal, but because it gave me space to breathe. To release. To feel. To say what I couldn’t say out loud.
Even now, decades later, writing is how I come back to myself.
It’s where I untangle. Where I unload. Where I stop pretending and start telling the truth again.
I’ve Sat With Women in Their Darkest Moments
I’ve worked in psychiatric hospitals, private practice, family sessions, and with women who looked like they had it all together — but were barely holding on inside.
And what I’ve learned is this:
High-functioning women carry the heaviest loads.
They smile through pain.
They keep it together for everyone else.
And they’ve been silencing themselves for so long, they forget what their truth even sounds like.
I created these journals because I’ve sat with that pain.
I’ve lived it. And I know what it takes to come home to yourself again.
This Isn’t About Being a Writer — It’s About Being Honest
Any time I ask a client to journal, I hear the same things:
* “I don’t like journaling.”
* “I’ve never been good at writing.”
* “I don’t know where to start.”
And here’s what I always say:
* “You’re not writing for a grade. You’re writing to feel. There’s no ‘right way’ to tell the truth.”
* “You don’t have to like journaling. But if you’re carrying sht you’ve never said out loud — this is where it gets to go.”
* “You don’t have to be good at it. You just have to be honest. That’s where everything begins.”
Because the truth is, when we don’t talk about things — they don’t just go away. They harden. I tell my clients all the time: If we don’t talk about the hard stuff, it turns into toxic cement inside us. And how the hell are we supposed to move through the world in a healthy, light, free way — if we’re dragging around blocks of emotional cement?
Writing chips away at that block. Every word. Every truth. Every brave sentence. It breaks down the weight you were never meant to carry alone.
What I Want You to Know
You’re not lazy.
You’re not weak.
You’re not failing.
You’re exhausted from holding what no one sees.
These journals aren’t here to fix you — they’re here to hold you.
To give you a space that doesn’t expect you to be okay.
To give you questions that finally make room for answers you didn’t know you were allowed to say.
I didn’t create this to add something else to my already full plate.
I created it because healing matters.
Because truth matters.
Because you matter.
