The Self Help Path Forward
A self-help guide to help you recover from depression, anxiety, heartbreak, and more—with simple words, gentle drawings, and a whole lot of heart.

Are you feeling stuck in sadness, overwhelmed by anxiety, or just completely lost after a heartbreak? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out at once.

The Self Help Path Forward is a warm, honest, and quietly powerful little book created for anyone who’s hurting, exhausted, or simply tired of pretending to be “fine.”

This isn’t a book that lectures or overwhelms. It’s a soft landing—a place where you can rest, breathe, and begin again. With 59 gentle exercises, hand-drawn stick figure illustrations, and comforting words written like a letter from a caring friend, this book helps you slowly rebuild your emotional strength, one tiny step at a time.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful practices that guide you toward:

• letting go of pain and guilt that no longer serve you

• building a kinder relationship with yourself

• setting gentle boundaries

• reconnecting with the small joys of everyday life

• and learning how to care for yourself—not because you’re broken, but because you matter.

I used stick figure drawings throughout this book—simple little characters who cry, who smile, and who manage to stand up again after falling. They’re not perfect. Neither are we. And that’s okay.

One of my friends, while reading this book, told me: “Sometimes, just looking at those drawings makes me feel a little better.” That meant the world to me.

I hope you feel the same.

This book is for you if…

• you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, or burnout

• you’re recovering from a breakup, a loss, or a season of self-neglect

• you’re trying to learn how to let go without feeling like you gave up

• you want to feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more like yourself again

• you crave a kind, human voice—not a cold, clinical one

A book like a hug.

The Self Help Path Forward doesn’t offer magic solutions. It doesn’t expect you to fix your life in 30 days. What it does offer is space—a soft, forgiving space where it’s okay to feel what you feel, to pause when you need to, and to heal in your own time.

This book won’t rush you. It’ll simply walk beside you, like a quiet friend who says:

You’ve carried so much. You deserve to rest now.
You don’t have to earn your worth. You already have it.
It’s okay to let go of what hurts. You’re allowed to move on.
You’re not alone. You are loved. And you’re going to be okay.

So if you’re ready to stop pretending and start healing—gently, slowly, sincerely—this book is here for you.

You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to begin.
