A free self-care and overwhelm packet for adults, caregivers, helpers, and busy humans who feel stretched thin. Includes gentle prompts for protecting time, noticing body signals, setting boundaries, and using grounding tools when the wave of overwhelm hits.
Use this packet when you have been caring for everyone and everything else and need a gentle way back to yourself. The goal is not to overhaul your life. The goal is to begin with one small, protected shift.
Want deeper support? This free packet pairs well with Sticky Brain Studio’s caregiver burnout, health psychology, and adult wellness resources, including Still Standing and When the Body Changes the Rules.
