We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jamie Day. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jamie below.
Jamie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
In 1997, I was sure I was going to be on Broadway. I got close. I also got my heart broken by a big show where I was supposed to be the lead and then was asked to understudy a ‘name’ in the title role. Something had to change. At the time, I didn’t realize it, but I was beginning to follow my intuition. In 2005, I left the entertainment industry and found myself on a Spiritual Pilgrimage to Egypt. While there, sitting in meditation at the Temple of Isis on the Isle of Philae, I was given specific guidance that I would begin to be ‘of service’; working with people in a healing capacity instead of performing for them. A few years after that, I was graduating from Graduate School with two different Master’s Degrees, on a very clear path to becoming a first-time Mom and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. I really thought my life was figured out. As I worked to obtain dual Licensure through several thousand hours of supervision, and as I mothered my baby girl, my intuition began talking to me again. On my 40th Birthday, I went on a silent retreat for 4 days and came back with a new plan. I was going to begin a group for women that focused on exploring Feminine Spirituality. From 2015 to early 2016, I vacillated on this guidance, and finally in April, I launched my first 6-Week Divine Mommy Part 1 Group. As the Group grew, so did I. I began to expand in ways that were almost unrecognizable to me. I created more and more Groups, developing yearlong Priestess Path Programs. I studied our Matriarchal pre-history and early Goddess Worshiping Societies with Feminist Archeomythologists. I opened my consciousness to the Crystalline Realm. I invited in the presence of Archangels, Ancestors, and Ascended Masters. Oracle Cards became a near constant accessory and suddenly the clinical work started to feel less and less in alignment. In 2022, as I was publishing my first book, I made a very risky decision to voluntarily relinquish my Clinical License. This was a decision that I made for myself, and I would not recommend it to anyone else unless it felt completely in alignment for them… but this most recent move to follow my heart has offered me liberation beyond my wildest expectations. Now, I am free to follow the Mission of my Purpose – the “why” of why I am here now – in ways that honor my unique gifts, my Healing Practice, my Sovereignty, and my Empowerment. I am being ‘of service’ completely on my terms, and I have done it in the most perfect way for me. I have followed my internal compass and the rewards cannot be measured in traditional understandings of what equates to success. I am my own best council, on all things and in all ways. I trust in the purity and goodness of my heart and my Soul to lead with integrity, maturity, and a deep desire always, always for optimal well-being for ALL of life. My story and my path have gently, and sometimes not so gently, given me the strength to follow my intuition, to trust in myself, and to pour love into my own chalice so that I may purely, courageously, & unconditionally pour it into others.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am Jamie Day, MS, MFT, RDT and I am the Creator of the Divine Mommy Movement, Author of the Soul-To-Sisterhood book, and a Registered Drama Therapist. Before pursuing the Healing Arts, I was a professional actor & singer, traveling nationally and internationally working in touring shows and regional theatre productions. After making a career switch almost 20 years ago, I am honored to share that my healing practice has grown, as have my psychic & multi-dimensional abilities. To say I am grateful for my psychotherapy background is an understatement. I believe that this previous experience is something that offers a unique level of support to the clients that I serve. The foundational principles that I work with in all of my offerings – and that includes Individual Sessions, the Divine Mommy YoniVersity 101 and 201 Priestess Path Programs, the Soul-to-Sisterhood Self-Love School, and All Divine Mommy Workshops – are always informed by the pillars of my clinical experience. When I worked as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialized in Trauma Informed Care. This is a fascinating aspect of mental health that is becoming very popular, and rightfully so! My compassionate understanding of Infant Mental Health, Attachment Theory, and Trauma Wounded Neurobiology offers my Healing Clients a unique opportunity to be simultaneously supported and witnessed in their humanity while they are also energetically supported and witnessed in their divinity. This merger of modalities is something that I am grateful to offer everyone I work with. Whether we are traveling through the portals of space and time to address past, current, and/or future timelines for wisdom and guidance, or we are ascending through the Layers of Existence to call forth different Guides, Angels, Ascended Masters, and Ancestors, the co-creation of Ceremonial Space to bring about the Greatest and Highest Good for my clients and for all living things is a safe and secure Sanctuary. I am not only proud of my offerings, but I am also truly honored to do the work I do in the way that I do it. My Private Healing Practice, Groups, Programs, Workshops, and Social Media Collaborations are created with the intention to empower others to access their Source Self Consciousness. The prayer I pray is one of collective ascension, and this purposeful desire is made manifest by a world that values compassion, connection, love, and peace. In my heart, I believe that evolution starts within and through the my offerings, I support this prayer becoming answered.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
Dedication to Spiritual Integrity has been a crucial part of my evolution as a Practitioner of the Healing Arts and this has happened through much intentional personal growth. For me, it wasn’t easy, but I recognized through my journey as a therapist and healer that much of my leadership style was co-dependent. I was desperate to be liked. I was attempting to please everyone to such a degree that it guaranteed they would come back for more Sessions, Workshops, and Classes. My wounded healer paradigm intersected right at my productivity paradigm and for years, I was exhausted and overwhelmed, tending to other’s needs before my own… teaching others how to embody the exact opposite. Obviously, the cycle couldn’t last. And it didn’t. Thankfully, some wonderful teachers and guides presented themselves to me and through the realization that if I wanted things to change – I had to change – I was able to grow and find comfort in Sacred Boundaries, Sacred Commitments, Emotionally Mature Reciprocity, and Authentic Communication. My practice and my work reflect this more every day. I won’t say I am great at slowing down, but I’m getting better. I also won’t pretend to be perfect; I am a work in process, but I will promise you that I am aware, engaged, and honest in my work, my relationships, and the ways that I show up in this world personally and professionally. As way-showers of love and light, and if you are reading this, I’m talking to you, we must fill our own well first. Self-love and self-compassion are radical acts of self-care and the more we can actualize these vibrations through our daily living, the more we can inspire others to do the same.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
A lesson I had to disentangle from my personal and professional relationships was a piece of new(er) age spirituality that relates to the Law of Attraction and Manifestation. Learning and embodying my Source Self Consciousness and integrating the Divine Codes of my Celestial Genome has been amazingly empowering and supportive. Yet, there have been many conscious and unconscious patterns that I have had to lovingly release. These are the habits of life learned though what one of my teachers calls ‘Earth School.’ For me, these habits were the reactions and responses of fear that looked like wanting to feel in control, trying to force the timeline, & doing whatever possible to prevent feeling hurt and shame. These reactions, which are based in past traumatic experiences and the near compulsive need to prevent the experiences from happening again, were here for great reasons and yet, they accomplished nothing positive or productive for my life goals. I had to walk my talk and take my own guidance where this was concerned and begin to really let things go with trust, peace, and knowing. Again, I’m not finished with this lesson. But moment, by moment, I’m evolving. That evolution brings an inner peace filled with empowered sovereignty, timelessness, and welcoming all feelings as living wisdom teachers.
