Does this sound like you?

I feel ashamed for not doing basic tasks

The thought of showering often feels overwhelming

Even small tasks feel impossible

I know what I should do, but can't make myself do it

It's so hard to just get out of bed

I don't want therapy right now, I just want something to help

You're Not Alone

I know what it's like living with this illness . . . I “inner”stand your struggle, and live it on a regular basis. This resource guide was birthed from my own inability to get out of bed and get in the shower.. An experience I deal with regularly, unfortunately, because Depression can be very paralyzing. As I saw how this illness sought to rob me of my quality of life, I went on a deep dive to discover how to combat it. When the dark hole of depression has me in the chokehold, and getting in the shower suddenly feels impossible, these things have been my trusted go to. With these tools, I become my own “mental therapist”, gently coaching myself through research based steps that help me reclaim my day! I am not cured of depression, but when I am down and stuck, I have a ready made list of some small wins I can take to fight back.

SMALL WINS DONE AT YOUR OWN PACE . . .

Minimal effort, maximum effect

Start, even if you can't start

Try one small win. You don't have to commit to the whole thing

Start with just one gentle shift

What if healing started with less pressure, and more compassion?

Benefits I Will Get From The Guide . . .

Benefit 1

Peer Led Mentorship

The support hits different when it comes from someone who has walked in your shoes, and knows exactly what you are going through. When they have tried what they are recommending first hand, and can say, hey, if this worked for me, odds are , it may also work for you. That's what you’ll get in this resource guide . . . Not random theories or suggestions, but something that has been tested firsthand by someone who is right there in the struggle with you. I've also put it into creative packaging (everything starts with S for easy remembrance) because I know when you’re in a dark place, and feeling lost, trynna search your brain for all types of answers is way too overwhelming!!!

Benefit 2

Research Based

I would say I did the research so you don't have to.. But I encourage you to do your own research as well! Knowledge is power. That being said, I have spent countless hours researching, reading, conversing with those in the mental health field, as well as others living with this illness.. I've experimented with things research says works, to discover if any of those things would work on me. The steps in this resource guide are the very steps I coach myself through when depression has me in the chokehold, and just getting out of bed now seems impossible . . . there's not a physical or mental therapist that's going to come to my home and help coach me through life’s tasks that have me overwhelmed. The only way I can get through it is to coach myself. These are the research based tools I personally use on myself, on repeat!! It has become almost like a formula for me, and I pray it will serve to be the same for you!

I'm Kelli

Green is the color for mental health, and as someone living with depression, I am low key

obsessed with the color, as well as the topic!

There are many things I have learned about living with depression over the years:

There is not considered to be a cure for this. There is not a lot of accessible support that I have seen. It robs people of their lives daily. There are a lot of stigmas about this illness. It is not talked enough about in communities of color. Even when on meds, and in therapy, some people still find it difficult to get relief from the symptoms. We have a worldwide mental health crisis.

(Just to name a few) The awareness of all of these things, as well as my lived experience, has

made me quite passionate about trying to figure out what I can do to help lessen some of these pains for others. In fact, I believe it to be my calling!! I pray that my peer created, research based tools would help be a blessing to you, and/or your loved ones, and that you would feel comforted knowing that you are not alone! Made especially for you, with love!

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is “Start Your Day”?

It's a simple, rinse and repeat resource guide that provides research based tools to help combat depression, and get in the shower. It is designed to help you gently build momentum when you feel low, stuck, or overwhelmed. It’s made for people navigating depression, burnout, or emotional exhaustion.

How does it work?

You will be given a list of the research based tools that I personally use, during moments when getting out of the bed seems impossible. There are 7 main modules, and about 5 sub modules with examples of resources you can utilize, under the main module category. Each main module begins with S, for easy remembrance when you are feeling low. You will be guided through exactly what the specific tool is, and what research says about how it is helpful.. In many instances I tell you the tools that help me the most, give suggestions for ways you can incorporate into your day, and you also receive some suggestions for some of the things that I use personally. Over time, you will discover which tools work best for you, and subsequently develop your own routine that feels right for your needs. You can go at your own pace, and revisit at any time.

I have very low energy and struggle to focus. Will I be able to do this?

Yes. This course was made especially for those moments. No pressure. No long lessons. Just small, doable recommendations - even if you're still in bed.

Is this therapy or a replacement for mental health treatment?

No. This course is created by a peer, for my peers and is based on lived experience and research. It’s a tool for support—not a diagnosis, nor a substitute for therapy or professional treatment.
