What's in the batch

Start with whichever bowl is running hottest. Half-baked still counts as baked.

Exercise 01
What's in the mix?
Tip every worry into four bowls (dough, work, family, everything else) and rate how hot each one is running.
Exercise 02
Spend it, shelve it, skip it
Money stress loves a vague cloud. Sort what is going out this month and pick one small money move.
Exercise 03
In my hands, out of the oven
Split work worries into what you can move and what you can’t, plus a line for handing priorities back.
Exercise 04
Family recipe cards
Boundary lines to finish in your own words, for loans, long lunches and the topics you’d rather skip.
Exercise 05
Let off some steam
Eight quick pressure valves to try this week, and space to write the one that always works for you.
Exercise 06
The smart cookie plan
One small thing per bowl this week, who’s in your corner, and what you’ll do when it all piles up.
A pinch of perspective, inside
“To have butterflies in your stomach means that you care.”
Hugh Jackman, one of three Aussies quoted in the guide

A note from Dee
I made this because I needed it too.

I'm not a therapist, just someone who's been anxious as anything and collected what actually helped. Everything in here is short, practical and meant to be scribbled on. Go easy on yourself. Dee x
