Imagine opening a trunk full of family heirlooms and trinkets.
Imagine you’re given an old-school tape recorder that lets you hit pause on life.
Imagine stocking a medicine cabinet with your go-to coping mechanisms.

Collecting the most effective and inspiring exercises from her years working as a psychotherapist and NICU family support specialist, Kate Robson invites our imaginations to play with simple metaphors, out-of-the-box images, and engaging prompts to reframe our thinking. Kate’s expert advice shows us what it can look like to be curious, attentive, and intentional in our lives, equipping us with new creative strategies for navigating discomfort and adversity. Through the accessible, bite-sized entries, we’re able to better recognize the weight we carry through life and the stories and language that restrict our sight lines. Perhaps most importantly, Kate draws out the why behind our actions, bringing foundational values and beliefs up to the surface for us to identify and reevaluate—so we can decide what to let go of and what to hold on to.

In this empowering collection, Kate shows us how listening to our inner voice and small acts of self-care can help us fortify our minds, explore new possibilities, and cultivate a truly fulfilling life.
