Breathing Room by Design

A little room to breathe.

The things I wish someone had told me.

A dip-in collection of lived-experience wisdom for the moments separation catches you off guard: the message you don’t know how to answer, the handover that knocks you sideways, the night your mind won’t switch off, and the day you want to feel like you again.

Take what you need, when you need it.

Some days, it isn’t the paperwork.

5.48am

Awake again.

  • A message from your ex that you don’t know how to answer.
  • Handover day, and you can feel yourself getting triggered.
  • And somewhere along the way, looking after you slipped off the list.

You don’t need another course. You need a little wisdom, right when you need it.

Five themes. Dip in anywhere.

More than 25 short audio lessons, articles, tools and stories, grouped so you can go straight to what today needs. Listen on a walk, read with a cup of tea, in any order.

Separation asks a lot of you. This is the part that gives a little back.

Why I made this

The things I wish someone had told me.

Breathing Room by Design is a collection of the lessons, stories and tips I learnt on my own way through separation.

It isn’t a course, and there’s nothing to complete. It’s grounded, down-to-earth advice that sits alongside everything else you’re working through, for the moments when you need to look after yourself first.

Take what’s useful. Leave the rest. Come back whenever you need a little room to breathe.

Frequently asked questions

A few things you may be wondering.

Is this a course?

No. There are no modules to work through and nothing to complete. It’s a collection you can dip into whenever you need it, in any order.

Is it audio or reading?

Both. Many of the lessons are short audio recordings you can listen to anywhere, and the articles, guides and recipes are there to read or download.

Do I need First Steps or Organised by Design first?

No. Breathing Room by Design stands on its own. It also sits nicely alongside the other Uncouple by Design resources if you have them.

What if I’m well into my separation?

It’s for any stage. Hard days don’t keep to a timetable, and neither does this.

Is this therapy or medical advice?

No. It’s lived-experience guidance and gentle self-care tools, not a substitute for professional support. If you’re struggling, please reach out to your doctor or a counsellor, and if you’re ever unsafe, contact your local emergency services.

Is the price in US dollars?

Yes. If you’re in Australia, New Zealand or the UK, your bank converts it at checkout.

Whenever you’re ready

Be gentle with yourself. One breath at a time.

There’s no need to do everything at once.
