About the Book

"Notes to Self" is a collection of poetry divided into chapters that invite readers on Jodi’s journey through the shadows of shame to ultimately overcoming and embracing her story.

Through her poignant and thought-provoking poetry, Jodi explores what it means to search for happiness, confront our deepest fears, and embrace the truest parts of ourselves.

Her work raises questions that resonate deeply within us all, such as, “Once we find happiness, are we allowed to stop looking?” and “Why is the truest part of me always the one I'm most afraid of?”

One reader eloquently describes the collection as a way through which "Jodi effectively breaks herself open and shares a road map for the rest of us to maybe do the same.”

Explore the themes and emotions within each chapter of Jodi's poetry and how they fit into the book’s overall story.
