Are you tired of being told to “just be positive” when your brain feels like a chaotic carnival ride? Same. That’s why I wrote You Were Never Broken—a funny, supportive, and spiritual (but not preachy) guide for women battling depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
And here’s the best part … for a limited time, you can grab the ebook FREE.
About the Book:
You Were Never Broken is part pep talk, part chaos, part “holy sh*t, she gets me.” Between the laughs, swears, and soul-deep reminders, you’ll find a survival guide for women who are exhausted from trying to be “perfect.”
Inside, you’ll find:
✨ Practical tools that actually help (without the toxic positivity).
✨ Sarcasm, humor, and raw honesty … because healing doesn’t have to be boring.
✨ A reminder that you were never broken in the first place.
This isn’t a forever deal—it’s your chance to snag a book that might just feel like your new best friend.
Other days, I stare at my to-do list like it personally betrayed me and then spiral because I forgot to answer an email from 4 days ago and now I’m convinced everyone hates me.
Welcome to the magical clusterfuck of living with ADHD and anxiety—the mental equivalent of a glitter bomb and a fire drill happening at the same time.
It’s not that we don’t care.
It’s that we care so much it fries our brains.
We want to do all the things, perfectly, immediately … but we forget, get overwhelmed, or freeze because our brains have too many browser tabs open, and one of them is playing music we can’t find.
What helps? Not fixing yourself.
Because spoiler: you were never broken.
You were just never taught how to work with a brain like yours.
So here’s your permission slip:
You can take breaks without guilt.
You can use sticky notes, alarms, and chaos rituals to get through the day.
You can laugh at the mess and still love yourself.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone else.
It means learning to hold space for the badass, forgetful, anxious, sparkly goblin that you are. And showing up for her with compassion—especially on the days she feels like a disaster.
A guide for the overthinkers, panic-scrollers, and “what if” pros among us.
Let’s be honest: anxiety is exhausting. It’s like your brain installed a full-time alarm system that goes off at the worst possible moments. Grocery store? Ring, ring. Trying to relax on the couch? Sirens. Three a.m. and you suddenly remember that awkward thing you said in 2009? DEFCON 1.
If you’re a woman with anxiety, you’ve probably been told to “just calm down” more times than you’ve had coffee … and that’s saying something.
But you don’t need toxic positivity. You need tools. You need support. And maybe you need a nap. (Honestly, same.)
So here’s a non-judgy list of coping strategies that can help when your brain is doing its absolute most:
🌳 1. Go Outside (Yes, Like … Literally)
We’re talking fresh air, grass, sky, real sunlight. Nature slaps in the best way. You don’t have to go full wilderness girl—just sit on your porch, touch a leaf, and breathe for a damn second.
Bonus points: walking. Moving your body gently can lower cortisol and help that nervous energy go somewhere other than your jaw.
📵 2. Put Your Phone Down (We Love You, But Stop Scrolling)
Doomscrolling is anxiety’s favorite snack. If you’re spiraling after reading 300 posts about how the world is ending, it might be time to log out and touch some bark.
Instead, try:
Reading a real book (remember those?) Journaling it out Staring at a wall while you overthink in peace (we’ve all been there)
🧘♀️ 3. Grounding Techniques (aka Reality Checks for Anxious Brains)
When your brain starts spinning out, try the 5-4-3-2-1 method:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
Or—my personal favorite—name five ridiculous things that aren’t your problem today. (The economy. Mercury in retrograde. Susan from accounting.)
☕ 4. Caffeine Check
This one might hurt: Too much coffee can make your anxiety worse. Rude, but true. If you’ve had 3 lattes and your heart’s doing the Macarena, maybe switch to water. Or tea. Or yell into a pillow. It’s all valid.
🤝 5. Connect With Someone (Even if It’s Just a Meme Exchange)
Because you deserve support, not just self-sufficiency.
Anxiety loves isolation. But connection—even tiny, silly, low-pressure connection—can remind you you’re not alone in the madness. Text a friend. Voice note someone. Send a meme. Say “I’m not okay” and let someone hold space for that.
💖 6. Let Yourself Off the Hook
You don’t have to do all the things. You don’t have to be “productive.” You don’t need to justify rest. Sometimes the bravest, most badass thing you can do is nothing, on purpose.
Your worth isn’t measured by how well you hide your anxiety.
Final Word: You’re Not Broken. You’re a Human with a Nervous System.
Anxiety isn’t a flaw. It’s a response. And you are not weak, dramatic, or “too much.” You’re carrying more than most people know—and still showing up.
Take a deep breath. Take your meds if you have them. Take a nap if you need one. You’re doing better than you think.
Sometimes we’re glowing goddesses who drink green juice and journal.
Other times we’re doom-scrolling with one eye twitching and a to-do list screaming in the background.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much and not enough at the same time, welcome home.
You Were Never Broken isn’t just a book, it’s a deep breath, a pep talk, and a permission slip to stop apologizing for being human.
Written for the women who are tired of pretending they’ve got it all together (spoiler alert: none of us do), this book is part spiritual hug, part sarcastic rant, and part “holy crap, I needed to hear that.”
What’s Inside:
• Raw, relatable take on depression, anxiety, and ADHD
• Zero fluff, no toxic positivity—just honest tools for healing
• Empowering messages for the days when you feel like a chaotic gremlin
• A reminder that being sensitive, emotional, loud, or weird isn’t broken … it’s f*cking magical
Whether you’re mid-breakdown, mid-breakthrough, or somewhere in between, this book holds space for every version of you.
Who It’s For:
• The overthinkers
• The highly sensitive and slightly unhinged
• The women who light candles and cuss people out in traffic
• The exhausted empaths who still want to believe in magic
This is not a self-help book that tells you to “just think positive.”
It’s a mirror held up to your soul that says: Look. You made it this far. That’s not weakness, that’s power.
Final Word:
You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need to be quieter, smaller, easier to handle.
