Last year of my 20s

🌿 Hi, I’m Jodie.

I’m learning to slow down and live more gently,

especially on days when my body and mind feel tired.

This space is my quiet journal — where I share

simple meals, gentle movement, living with PCOS,

and small peaceful moments from everyday life.

I’m not here to fix or perfect anything.

Just to be a little kinder to myself, one day at a time.

If you’re also moving through life at your own pace,

you’re very welcome here 🤍

20 non-sexual acts of intimacy

Non-sexual acts of intimacy are the foundation of a healthy relationship. Once you build trust, appreciation, and understanding with one another, your sexual bond will naturally strengthen on its own. In my opinion, foreplay begins the minute you get home. Picking up the slack if your partner ha
