ptjb. the workshop
Goal
The goal of permission to just be. the workshop is to create a supportive space where you can peel back the layers of “shoulds,” roles, and expectations to bridge the gap between who you truly are and who you've been taught you should be. Through guided mentorship, self-directed modules, and community, this program helps you move beyond perfectionism and people-pleasing and into a life that feels more aligned, present, and deeply authentic.
What is it?
A 5-part mentorship experience designed to help you release the “shoulds,” reconnect with your truth, and start living as your whole self. You'll be supported by a like-hearted online community, along with practical tools and resources to help you navigate the journey together.
Before PTJB, I didn’t even realize how far I had drifted from myself. I was giving to everyone else, chasing expectations, and silencing parts of me just to keep going. I thought that was “normal.” But these workshops stopped me cold. They forced me to pause, to breathe, and to confront the truth I’d been avoiding: somewhere along the way, I had completely forgotten about me. What I discovered here changed everything. I realized that I wasn’t broken—I was buried. And with every session, I started peeling back those layers. I laughed, I cried, I faced the hard truths, and I let go of the weight I had been carrying for years. For the first time in a long time, I feel alive. I feel joy. I feel free. Why? Because I finally gave myself the gift I had been denying all along—PERMISSION TO BE ME. This isn’t just a workshop it’s a turning point. It’s the moment I stopped existing and started living. - Bryony
Jamie’s “Permission to Just Be” was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. As women, we spend so much of our lives “shoulding” all over ourselves—caught up in the endless list of what we should do, be, or achieve. This experience was a gentle yet powerful reminder to release those unrealistic expectations and reconnect with who I really am. The group itself was deeply caring; the friendships and common threads we uncovered reminded me that none of us are alone in this journey. I walked away with clarity about who I am, who I want to be again, and who my community truly is. This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a must for any woman ready to step out from under the weight of “should” and step back into herself. - Cara

Everyone is invited to show up as they are, without judgment or pressure to perform. The focus is on curiosity, reflection, and connection, not on “getting it right.” Participants are welcome to share or reflect quietly and observe. Meeting in person brings the unique energy of being side by side, sharing presence, and connecting face-to-face.

A 1:1 ptjb session is more intimate and tailored than a group experience. Instead of sharing time and space with others, the focus is fully on you — your "shoulds", your fears, your inner voices.

A 1:1 ptjb session is more intimate and tailored than a group experience. Instead of sharing time and space with others, the focus is fully on you — your "shoulds", your fears, your inner voices. Reflection activities become guided conversations, and the pace slows down so you can linger where you need more support. It’s a space to feel fully seen and heard without judgment, with personalized prompts, tools, and takeaways that match your unique journey.

Permission to just be, came at a perfect time for me. It gave me the insight, the reflection and the awareness I needed to move forward on my journey of giving myself what I give others. To focus on my happiness that only involves me. I cherish what I learned and awoken to in this workshop with these beautiful people I got to share it with. Jamie is sharing her journey and formulated into a guide to finding yourself and giving not only permission to just be but the insight to see how to be ur own best friend in this world. Ptjb is a game changer, we all walk away better for attending. Thank you Jamie for your brave self in sharing yourself , developing a well rounded workshop and I cant wait to read your book. Thank you for making this all happen for others and I look forward to being part of the ptjb community and continuing this messy journey in a safe productive place with like minded people. With love and gratitude. - Alyson
