Hi, I’m Jamie. I write loud opinions, hunt down weird products, and tell on real life. Since 2006.

About

I write the way I talk. For better or worse.

Author of five books. Survivor. Mother. Hotline psychic. Professional over-sharer. I’ve been doing this since 2006 — outlasted two marriages, which honestly feels worth mentioning. I write loud opinions because someone has to, and the only rule is: tell the truth, even if your voice shakes.
