Hey, there! You've found a few of my favorite things. Because folks are always askin' about products, books, and food that help relieve, remove, or reduce stress, I decided to put my best recommendations all in one place so they're easy to find.

I'll do my best to keep updating this resource as I discover more useful products, books, and resources.

I hope you find this list helpful!
