I am an author, researcher, and interdisciplinary social scientist. I earned my B.A. with honors from the University of Washington, and my M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.
My work explores themes of health and well-being, broadly considered. Currently I am particularly interested in how a radical truth practice can help unravel longstanding patterns of self-sabotage and people-pleasing that constrain so many of us (especially women) from living full lives.
As it happens, I’ve just written a book (“Truth Be Told”) on the topic! To learn more or order it you can do so here.
I have a podcast-about-everything called “The Face of the Deep” that you can watch on my YouTube channel or listen to on iTunes. I haven’t been uploading as many episodes lately as I’ve been working on other projects, but you can receive notifications about the podcast when I do post and learn about other offerings by joining my my mailing list at the bottom of this page.
I offer individual one-on-one coaching (you can make an appointment in the scheduling sidebar) as well as webinars and e-courses on a variety of topics. I also offer a couple of things exclusive to my community hub, “The Collective Unconscious,” including several weekly Zoom support groups for different interests.
To join The Collective Unconscious and gain immediate access to these resources, you can do that here.
For the free version of my weekly different-kind-of-food-and-weight-support group, “Enough,” you can attend that via the Collective as well. More information here.
I’m doing less and less traditional social media these days because it is destroying civilization, but I can’t entirely quit instagram. You can find me at @jwhowk, as well as on Twitter/X when I am feeling ranty at @thedeeperpod. I’m passionate about vegan permaculture and you can follow my little farmlife projects and experiments on the very sporadically updated farm site: www.mountainmoonfarm.com.
I am often asked for book recommendations and other resources. Here’s a list to get started (I plan to add to it over time.)
To make a quick donation for one of my pay-what-you-want programs or just to support my work (which is very appreciated!) you can do so here (Venmo, Zelle, and Paypal are also options, just ask me):
