About Less Thinking, More Living

Less Thinking, More Living is a newsletter for thoughtful overthinkers, purpose-driven professionals, and burned-out doers who want to move through the world with more clarity, courage, and meaning—without blowing up their lives to do it.

I'm Dr. Jackie Henry—a psychologist, wellness consultants, and mom of four—writing about micro-bravery, burnout recovery, compassionate productivity, and the courage to begin before you're sure.

I believe that meaning isn't found in one grand gesture.
It lives in the small, daily moments of work, marriage, friendship, and parenting.
The way you show up for hard conversations.
The permission you give yourself to rest.
The risk you take to try something before you feel ready.

Less Thinking, More Living is built on six tenets:

1. Gather information through action

2. Use that feedback to hone your direction

3. See failure as information

4. Keep it small

5. Lead with grace and self-compassion

6. Collaborate when you can

Here, we don’t wait for clarity to begin—we get clarity by beginning.
