The Messy Mentorship

What would it feel like to live with ease?

Are you ready to let go of perfectionism? Of suffocating control? Of always feeling not good enough?

You’ve come to the right place.

Start looking forward to so much more flow, rest and the ease of letting things be messy.

Any of this sound familiar?

Imperfections, flaws, mistakes, failures, unexpected surprises make you feel very anxious and fearful

You feel like you’ll only be “good enough” when [fill in the blank]

Other people’s successes only make you notice your own ‘failures’ more

You often believe you’re “too much” or “not enough”

You worry constantly that you’re going to mess up, fail or disappoint others

You frequently find yourself needing to fulfil other people’s expectations and ideals, even if it’s not what you want

You feel extremely anxious when you are not in full control of everything around you

I get it. I have felt every single one of these things throughout most of my life – sometimes all at the same time.

But I also want to assure that it doesn’t have to be this way. There IS another way to live, and work, and find deep joy and ease in everything that you do.

Show me another way…

What if I told you that there’s a way to pinpoint exactly where all those self-sabotaging, anxiety-making thoughts are coming from?

And better yet, that there’s a simple, immediate way to start quieting those thoughts…

… and shift them to a always-already wise, creative, calm headspace?

What if I told you that there’s a tried-and-test, proven method that’s waiting to help you:

  • meet every upsetting challenge from a still point (instead of falling headfirst into anxiety)?
  • release that exhausting pressure to always ‘be perfect’?
  • deeply connect to what makes you feel good… and to rest there?
  • make a lot more space for rest and stillness?
  • feel fully content exactly where you are right now?
  • always be able to find creative, pleasurable solutions and ideas to respond to difficulties in work and life?
  • improve and deepen your relationships, friendships, connections?
  • find time and resources to pursue and enjoy the things you really love?
Jamie has a remarkably intuitive nature, and always knows what I need; she always has the tools to help me through whatever it is I’m going through. Being coached by Jamie is like going through the storms of life with the dearest and most loyal of friends, but one with the expertise and equanimity of someone who has been through it herself and who can offer trusted and humble guidance that will always be in your best interest. I love how serious yet playful she is, and am always surprised in the best way possible how much levity and creativity she brings to her work of helping people on their soul’s journeys.

Jamie Pei has done wonders for me! Through her consistent encouragement and positive mindset, I have finally been able to ease away from being a workaholic. Part of her magic is that she not only helped me to understand mentally what I needed to do, but she was able to give me the tools – and permission – I needed to allow myself to just BE. One of her superpowers is teaching people how to truly rest. While stress is a constant in my life, I am now happier and healthier than I have been in years.

What’s inside the Messy Mentorship

The Messy Mentorship is informed by and shaped around the signature Positive Intelligence ® program, with additional 1-to-1 and group coaching support from me. Here’s exactly what you can expect:

The PQ ® program and app
You’ll have access to the full signature 6-week PQ® program, run through a specially developed app.

The PQ® app
Access all weekly trainings and daily practices, track your progress and interact with fellow coaching pod members through the PQ® app.

Weekly training video (1 hour)
New training videos are unlocked each week to introduce you to the theme of the week. Each theme forms the focus of your daily practice for the week.

Daily practice (15 minutes across the day)
You’ll receive prompts via the app to do 2-3 minute guided practices across the day. These practices total about 15 minutes each day, and you’ll have the option to do more/longer practices if you wish.

Community support
You’ll be coached alongside a pod of no more than 5 people for accountability, connection and friendship. There will be a group chat for you to share and connect with each other in between weekly group coaching calls.

Weekly group coaching
One weekly 60-minute group coaching call with the full pod where I will guide discussion on the week’s theme and practice. Sharings and reflections help to deepen practice and spark new perspectives.

1-to-1 coaching
Join me on 3 x 45-minute coaching calls, scheduled in Weeks 1, 4 and 8 of the program where we will check in on how your practice is going and deep dive any specific issues.

Option: continue practice for up to one year
At the close of the program, you’ll have the option to continue deepening your practice via the PQ Grow program for up to 12 months. Grow is entirely self-paced via the app.

The Messy Mentorship is for you if…

  • You are able to respond calmly and effectively to every challenge or problem
  • You’re fully confident in your abilities and capacities
  • Situations always turn out exactly as you want them to

  • You don’t believe that your life can feel better or that you can enjoy even better experiences

Jamie was a breath of fresh air, giving me the opportunity to explore some difficult areas with her calm (and calming!), no-nonsense approach. I instantly felt at ease and free to talk without judgement, but more than that, I came away with practical suggestions for change which have already started to make a real difference to the way I’m working and living.

Alex Mallinson ~ Senior Lecturer and PhD Researcher

Your PQ coach

Hello!

I’m Dr Jamie Pei (but just call me Jamie!) – your Messy Mentorship and PQ coach.

I bring a ton of diverse working experiences with me – a PhD, public speaking, newspaper and magazine journalism, academic training, PhD and life coaching, and even, for a very brief time, a stint in the corporate world.

But what I think is more important is my experience as a messy, flawed human being: lifelong body-image issues, including an eating disorder; intimate experience of working and living under abusive and coercive control (and eventually leaving); healing from perfectionism and controlling, compulsive behaviours.

But I have come to believe that the messiest moments of this very messy life can also offer us the richest gifts and opportunities – to make even deeper, more loving relationships; to discover the very best of our talents and skills; to find new ways of living with even more ease, clarity and joy.

Now, I’m proud to say that I live a slow but deeply pleasurable life, full of ease, play and satisfying, fulfilling activity every single day.

And I want to help you create the very same success and satisfaction for your own days. I can’t wait to work with you – let’s settle into a whole lot more ease.

Please book a Discovery Call with me to discuss payment options.

Yes, I do also offer one-to-one coaching options but I do urge you to also consider the benefits of coaching in a group: you’ll get greater accountability and support for your practice, have the opportunity to discuss any issues with others on the same journey as you, and enjoy making new friends and connections.

However, if you would still prefer an individual coaching program, please still book a Discovery Call with me to discuss options.

At present, the only life and mindset coaching that I am offering includes the PQ program.

The only other one-to-one coaching program I offer is only for PhD students. Please refer to this page for further details about that: jamiepei.com/phdcoaching

No, not at all. I welcome anyone from any sector or background to join the Messy Mentorship. The PQ program and my accompanying coaching will be suitable whatever your background.

Although the Messy Mentorship is shaped primarily around the Positive Intelligence® program, I also blend my life and mindset coaching with some spiritual/metaphysical practices, including tarot / oracle card readings, human design, manifestation practices, mantra and prayer. I don’t prescribe to any particular religion and you don’t have to either to coach with me; I certainly don’t expect you to adopt any belief or practice that you’re not comfortable with.

The mentorship, including the PQ® program, will provide you with lifelong tools and practices that can be applied to almost all challenges and circumstances and keep you in good stead as you move forward after our time together.

However, if you would like to continue working with the PQ® app, there is an option to extend your practice via PQ® Grow for up to 1 year. This practice is entirely self-paced via the app.

I’m also happy to discuss further options for you to continue coaching with me after the 8-week mentorship concludes. We can talk about this on one of our coaching calls, or feel free to reach out to me any time: hello@jamiepei.com
