Our #dog Prudence is the essence of grace and athleticism 😍

I always start my #DBT Skills Group orientation with the ice breaker, "what's one thing you enjoy doing even though you don't do it well?" Maybe I'll show this video next time!

#DBT Skills Groups are such a fun way to learn emotional regulation… I think of it as a buffet where you try a little bit of everything and then see what works best for you. Check out www.juliekinn.com/online-dbt-s... to learn more!

My teen driving me to school while we discuss the themes of love and free will in #AttackOnTitan is such a happy reminder of why I made humans.

Love the ear on this #sourdough, but looking for ways to improve the oven spring (suggestions welcome!).

Going to make some great paninis with whatever we don't finish from this baby.

High hydration with rye and chia seeds.

Now feeling weird about calling it a baby. Words mean things, Julie!

Rare picture of me doing stand-up #comedy in OIympia about 10 years ago. Loved those days, but couldn't do the late nights for long!

What's something you've done to push yourself?

Hey #tv producers: I will watch anything with Margo Martindale.

Enjoying my current read, The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris.

Harris is so good at gently building tension while also nurturing her characters' development.

Chag sameach y'all! Let me know if you'd like the recipes for vanilla and chocolate coconut macaroons. Gluten free and #passover perfection.

Thoughts on #Justified: Raylan Givens has shootouts inside instead of outside as a Harlan County stimulus plan to support local contractors and drywall installers.

When you're not feeling well and just need to sit on Mom's lap.

Watching the #tv series #Hannibal and am consistently struck by Hannibal's amazing time management skills. Full time psychiatrist, serial killer, *and* makes his own cheese?

Thoughts on Vaster Wilds? Reading for #bookclub and not sure about finishing it.

Even in the second-to-last row at the Fifth Ave #theatre, Waitress the #musical was amazing.

Sitting with hundreds of high school #thespians (at the Washington State Thespian Festival @washingtonthespians #wathesfest25) made it epic.

Do you wake in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep? Don't just lie there and struggle... follow these simple CBT-i tips (that's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for #Insomnia, the gold standard treatment).

Not changing fast enough? See if the metaphor of the "Branch in the Stream" can help you with #selfcompassion
