But what if a summer opportunity could offer them something even deeper? What if it could give them the tools to navigate the ups and downs of life with confidence, clarity, and resilience? This year, Jodie Spartz and team are launching an exciting 9-Week Summer Program starting July 1st for youth ages 13 to 19 . It’s designed to do exactly that: provide a supportive space where teens can earn a stipend while learning how to strengthen their emotional regulation skills. Why Focus on Emotional Regulation? Being a teenager today comes with an overwhelming amount of pressure—from...

It's been a little over a month and again so much has happened. I feel like I'm moving out of survival mode. Last we spoke I was wondering where I was going to sleep next and wondering if  the place I interned at was going to ask me to come back to work there? Also wondering if I was going to get a job from this job fair coming up Thursday? The first two nights out of the respite I stayed at a hotel in Hell's kitchen for two days. I had successfully completed the internship and wanted to treat myself. Especially since I didn't know what my next move was going to actually be.      Did I stay at the hotel with anyone? Do you know them or of them from reading along? Or did I stay alone and enjoy some me time...

The story of how they made it to their destination is often told after the fact. I seem to be doing the opposite. I seem to be for some reason telling my story as I arrive to where ever this strange life of mine would have me be. I'm at the end of my 28 day stay at the mental health respite. I check out tomorrow. Do you think I'm leaving with a housing plan? If you guessed no, you guessed right. Show's you've been paying attention to the fact that I obviously have no idea how to work this housing system and nobody is able to give me any clear info...

I love books so much that when I'm in a hurry it pains me to just walk on by.

       Hey thanks for coming inside my head! I wrote and published 6 books you can check them out here:  https://www.lulu.com/search?sortBy=RELEVANCE&page=1&q=Jodie+Spartz&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00       I guess I can call it part 2 of my 2026 self reflection. Before coming to an understanding of what the HELL could possibly be going on; I was at the point of literally pulling my beautiful locks straight out of my head. I don't understand how I went from flying kinda high too crawling in the pits of despair. Let's start with the fact that I spent the first 180 days of this part of the journey in a rather nice apartment. Provided by a domestic violence shelter.  I had my own room, a kitchen to cook in and my own keys. The maintenance team was amazing they made sure we had everything we needed; I mean they were great. This place helped me get a lot of paperwork together but housing was never attained. They said t...

I forgive you for dragging us through the fire, for so many necessary and unnecessary reasons. You were so angry that every decision you made came out of it. Anger, fear, frustration, and desperation drove your every move. I understand now that living in that kind of space is the recipe for chaos and destruction. Something inside you wanted to stop living and just let it all go. While a stronger part of you wanted to FIGHT! Your past felt like war and your presence is discove...

I found some inserts from that time. I discovered a journal in my grandmothers basement that was written by 9 year old me. I had no memory of these writings all I knew for sure was they were mine. Throughout life the writing never stopped. I remember being given a word processor when I was 15 years old. I used to save all my writing to a floppy disk and just knew I would have it forever. That ended up not being the case. I don't remember now what exactly got me into trouble.  My grandmother read something I had haphazardly left on screen. I'm sure it was about sex or something along thos...
