Anxiety & Navigating Change Workbook

Big life changes can stir up big anxiety—especially when you’re neurodivergent or already feeling overwhelmed. The Anxiety Navigating Change Workbook is a gentle, step‑by‑step guide to help you manage anxiety during life transitions and move into new beginnings with more clarity and confidence. Whether you’re changing jobs, moving, ending or starting a relationship, or facing an unexpected shift, this workbook walks beside you through each stage of the process.

Designed with ADHD and anxious brains in mind, the workbook breaks complex transitions into small, manageable steps with clear prompts, reflection questions, and structured worksheets. Instead of getting lost in “what ifs,” you’ll learn to understand your reactions, build a support system, and turn uncertainty into a personal growth path.
