A little about me...
and the creation of


Hi, I’m Jodi - founder of Worley’s World CIC, emotional language specialist, published children’s author, and full-time movement maker on a mission to change how we talk about mental health with our kids 💥
I’m a former primary school teacher and a proud neurodivergent mum who’s lived through postnatal depression, PTSD, and the overwhelming fog of losing yourself in parenthood. I know what it’s like to feel broken and I also know the power of play, stories, and connection to help rebuild from the inside out.
That’s why I created Worley’s World: a magical, messy, monster-filled approach to emotional education that helps children and grown-ups learn to be the boss of their brains.
Everything I share - from books and workshops to silly reels and real talk - is rooted in lived experience, backed by practice, and delivered with big kid energy. No fluff. No judgement. Just monster-sized tools that actually work for real families.
If you’re a parent, educator, or fellow human trying to make sense of big feelings - you’ve found your people. You’re always welcome in Worley’s World 💜
