LIVING WELL GUIDES
Gentle guidance for real life
Living Well guides are the creative wellbeing approach founded by Dr Julie Winstanley | Calm Creatives
They are a growing collection of thoughtfully written wellbeing books designed to support people through life's quieter, heavier and more complicated seasons.
These are not quick fixes.
They are not motivational noise.
They are simple, easy to read pocket guides that you can return to slowly-at your own pace.
Each guide offers practical tools and calm perspective for navigating everyday challenges with guidance from real people who have experienced it.
What makes Living Well Guides different?
Living Well Guides are created for people who:
*Feel tired of being told to just 'Push through'
*Prefer gentle structure over rigid rules.
*Are navigating change, overwhelm or uncertainty.
*Want to feel better, not become someone else.
These guides sit somewhere between self-help and lived wisdom - grounded, compassionate and realistic.
What you'll find inside:
*Clear explanations without jargon.
*Gentle prompts for reflection.
*Practical tools you can actually use.
*Reassuring language (no pressure, no shame).
*Space to think, pause and breathe.
They are designed to be dipped in not rushed through.
Our guides include:
*Living well with anxiety
*Living Well through menopause
*Living well after burnout
*Living Well when life changes
*Helping children with emotional regulation
*Calm tools for anxious families
*Midlife reset and Reinvention
Who are the guides for?
*Adults navigating midlife change
*Women feeling emotionally stretched or depleted
*Parents supporting sensitive or anxious children
*Anyone who feels overwhelmed but still functioning
*People who want calm guidance without intensity
They are for everyday wellbeing not crisis response.
