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

Picky by Julie Kinn - Reviewed by McKenzie Lynn Tozan

Review: PICKY is a smorgasbord of laugh-out-loud, kick your feet, scream, and ugly-cry moments, all while rooting for this imperfect cast to win.

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...

Easter Eggs in my novel Picky (July 1 from Kennedy Creek Press)

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

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
