And to think I used to be scared of open water. Just a quick reminder that we can tolerate distress and sometimes even grow to love the things that make us uncomfortable. And don't worry; a life jacket was involved 😂 #mentalhealth #pugetsound #PNW #anxiety

Is this telework view too obvious a plug for my novel? #Pickybook comes out July 1st (Kennedy Creek Press)! #booksky #writersky #readersky #picky #mentalhealth www.juliekinn.com/picky

Thank you @reedsy.bsky.social for selecting PICKY as a five-star "Must Read 🏆"! So happy that my quirky novel is connecting with readers 💛 reedsy.com/discovery/bo... #booksky #readersky #mentalhealth

This pile of sticks at our dog park reminded me of the #DBT skill ACCEPTS, and specifically C = Contribution. Someone contributed to our woofer community in such a tangible way. Contribution doesn't have to be big, but it can have a big impact. #therapy #mentalhealth #dogsky #dogs

[we refuse ritual shrinking] The silence breaks open around us. The quiet no longer belongs to fear. We call our voices back home— the feral ones buried deep in the throat the ones discipline tried to starve the ones the world demanded we soften. Not tonight; not ever. A #Solseed Joint #seedling

Fans of irreverent 1980s British Comedies may recognize the secondary character names in Picky (coming July 1, 2026)! Pre-order Picky at www.amazon.com/Picky-Julie-... #theyoungones #youngones #booksky www.youtube.com/shorts/v5wzb...

Currently reading (well, listening to) Hope for Cynics by Jamil Zaki. I'm quite cynical, but trying to keep an open mind. Excited to dive in after the excellent introduction. #booksky #readersky #audiobook

Before she dives into Tana French's The Keeper, Prudence is re-reading The Searcher and The Hunter. #booksky #readersky #tanafrench

Doing a final check for plosives on the #audiobook for Picky and wondering why I wrote "Paula perched on the papered table." In my next novel, everyone will be named Fiona 😂 So excited to share this work with you all <3 #booksky #readersky #writersky www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Looking for a good #therapist? I hope these tips help! What else do you recommend? #mentalhealth #psychology #psychologist

Is the world ready for a novel with a character who has #POCD (pedophilia #OCD)? Also, will I get kicked off this platform for posting about this topic? I'd love to shed light on this topic. Opinions, please! #booksky #readersky #writersky #mentalhealth

Why your apology isn't working and what to do about it. With help from @drmayaangelou <3 #apology #relationship #advice #mayaangelou

Obsessively following this package: the physical proof for my upcoming #novel PICKY. Three years in the making! I'm going to take a bunch of pictures with it and then carried around like a baby for a few weeks I guess. 😅🥰 #booksky #readersky #writersky

A simple show & tell method to practice the #DBT "What" Skill. It's a great mindfulness tool from Dialectical Behavior #Therapy <3 #mindfulness #mentalhealth

One of the best moments of my childhood was when DJ Tanner wore the same cardigan I had. I felt so famous. Later wore it my first concert: Deee-Lite at Bogart's in Cincinnati. #90s #tv

Holt comforting Rosa after her mom rejects her for being bisexual brings me to tears with every re-watch. Love that Brooklyn Nine-Nine plot line. #bisexual #representation #tv

My take on whether therapists should answer questions about #politics, #religion, and all the itchy stuff. #mentalhealth #psychology

Just finished this baby #quilt for the world's best dog walker (and their human fetus). #quiltsky

The most real thing in #TheCloser is how upset the team is with their fancy new building in Season 6 and all the shenanigans about setting up their cubicles. Investigate a murder? Sure... right after we figure out the remote to our new projector. #tv

My teenage daughter and I have a running gag wherein I take her phone while she's waking up (I have her permission for this) and we pretend that one of our #dogs is taking selfies. It helps motivate her to get out of bed, and I get some gems like this! #dogsky #parenting

Who else is listening to Mega the #Podcast? I'm obsessed. www.megathepodcast.com

Recording an audiobook is the best way to find #typos! #authorsky #writersky #booksky

Behold the glory of my recording studio. Getting ready to record the #audiobook version of PICKY (June 2026). So excited! #booksky #readersky #writersky

Thoughts on this as a back-of-book headshot? Less formal than my others. #booksky

Hey #writersky, any thoughts on Booksirens vs. Bookfunnel? Do I only need NetGalley? Thanks for helping me figure out the best way to share my ARC! #booksky #authorsky

Do readers like blank section dividers or fancy-schmancy? #booksky #readersky #writersky

Just finished this piece of excellence! Tana French's The Likeness #booksky #readersky

My ISBNs are assigned! Starting to feel real (but still aiming for June 1st publication date). #writersky #booksky

Hey authors, do you have separate Goodreads accounts for your personal use and professional use? TIA for any advice! #authorsky #writersky #booksky

Good timezone to you! Hope everyone can find a few minutes for #creativity today. My goal is to spend ten minutes between clients brainstorming a new author bio. What about you? #writersky #readersky #booksky

Would I let someone with POCD near my kids? This is a question I get as a clinical psychologist who specializes in OCD. Spoiler alert: of course I would! Pedophilia OCD is a completely different animal than Pedophilia. #ocd #mentalhealth #pocd #pedophilia youtube.com/shorts/BMrtX...

I'm looking at this coming summer to release my first novel! #writersky #booksky

TikTok viewers seem very interested in my content on #POCD (pedophilia #OCD). Who knew!? Even with wonky sound, 148K vs. about 500 for my other videos. #mentalhealth www.tiktok.com/@juliekinn
