MINDFUL ROMANCE
THE BOOK ENDS. YOU BEGIN.
TIRED OF THE FICTION HANGOVER?
You’ve just spent hours lost in a fiction world where the stakes were high, the romance was real and the ending was guaranteed.
Then you closed the book and real life came rushing back in. The sweet relief was all too temporary.
That’s the Fiction Hangover - that state of feeling emotionally stranded after finishing a story that provided an escape but no resolution for your own doubts, worries, and fears.
Fortunately, there’s a cure.
GET LOST IN THE PLOT. THEN FIND YOURSELF
GEN Z
Heart-centered stories that honour the beautiful complexity of becoming you
ADULT READERS
A chance to revisit first love with the self-compassion you needed then
EDUCATORS
Emotional wellbeing tools disguised as romance to foster empathy and connection
CLOSE THE BOOK. START YOUR STORY.
What if a book wasn't a detour away from your life but a path back to it?
In the world of Mindful Romance, we don't just read to disappear. We read to return to ourselves.
You finish reading the book and you begin your Inner-Read Ritual - a simple way of moving from the story world to your own inner world.
You bridge the gap between the fiction on the page and the reality of your own life.
Open your next chapter.

HELLO, I’M JODIE!
AUTHOR-PSYCHOLOGIST
I write Mindful Romance - stories for Gen Z and adult readers about family dramas, friendships, first love and the beautiful complexity of becoming who we are.
My work is informed by my background as a psychologist and my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I believe stories can be more than an escape - they can be a way back to ourselves.
My goal is to help you use your love of story to understand your own inner story better. That’s how we trade self-doubt for deeper Self-Trust.
