In this reflective Oh Crap with Jamie episode, Jamie shares a heartfelt reminder that this is all we get. From hiking challenges to motherhood moments to the stories that shape our lives, she explores why we make things harder than they need to be—and how to shift toward ease, presence, and joy.
Jamie opens up about the lessons she learned from her mom’s passing, the power of simplicity, and the importance of finding meaning in everyday life. This is your permission to slow down, breathe, and make life just a little easier.
