My Friendly Little Monsters: A Rhyming Book About Big Feelings and What They Need

A children’s book that gently speaks to the inner child in all of us.

My Friendly Little Monsters is a heartfelt, rhyming book that helps kids recognize, name, and care for their emotions. In these pages, children meet Wobble (anxiety), Jitter (worry), Shaky (panic), Peep (sensitivity), and Boo (fear), five friendly monsters who show up when things feel a little too big.

Each monster helps children understand what emotions feel like in the body, when they tend to appear, and what they need to feel safe and calm again.

Inspired by real conversations with my daughter and nieces, this book grew out of years of parenting through tough moments and learning how to meet big feelings with compassion instead of fear.

Through rhyme, play, and gentle wisdom, My Friendly Little Monsters offers a foundation for emotional intelligence that children can grow with (and that adults often find deeply resonant, too).

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, therapist, or an adult reconnecting with emotions you were never allowed to express, this book is a powerful place to begin.

Perfect for:

  • Ages 3–8 (and their grown-ups)

  • Bedtime or classroom reading

  • Therapists and school counselors

  • Emotionally intelligent parenting

  • Adults reconnecting with their inner child

Tools for Breaking the Cycle

This page brings together the work I’ve created for people who are ready to move beyond insight and into action.

These tools are not about quick fixes, motivation, or becoming a “better version” of yourself. They are designed to help you understand why patterns exist, how they are reinforced in the nervous system, and what it actually takes to interrupt them in daily life.

This work is practical. It is honest. And it is designed to be used, not just read.

Breaking the Cycle Workbook (Digital Copy Only)

Breaking the Cycle is a structured, self-paced workbook for people who are ready to understand why their habits persist, and how to change them without force, shame, or constant self-correction.

Grounded in Ayurveda and modern habit science, this workbook is built around the principle of Nidana Parivarjana: removing the root cause rather than repeatedly managing symptoms. Instead of asking you to “try harder,” it helps you identify the conditions that keep patterns in place and teaches you how to interrupt them with intention.

This is not a motivational workbook. It is an educational tool designed to help you see your patterns clearly and respond to them differently.

What This Workbook Helps You Do

  • Understand why change feels difficult, even when you want it

  • Learn how habits form in the brain and nervous system, and why willpower alone doesn’t work

  • Identify the triggers, cues, and conditions that reinforce unwanted patterns

  • Apply Ayurvedic insight alongside practical habit science to create realistic change

  • Move from awareness into action using structured reflection and simple, repeatable tools

Inside the Workbook

  • Guided reflection exercises to uncover habit roots and recurring patterns

  • Habit tracking tools to observe behavior without judgment

  • Mind mapping exercises to clarify priorities and reduce overwhelm

  • SMART goal frameworks adapted for nervous-system sustainability

  • A commitment statement to support accountability without rigidity

Each section is designed to build understanding first, then application, so change happens from clarity, not pressure.

This Workbook Is For You If…

  • You feel stuck repeating habits you’ve already tried to “fix”

  • You want a grounded, holistic approach that respects both biology and lived experience

  • You’re ready to work with your patterns instead of fighting them

  • You want practical tools you can actually return to and use

This workbook is appropriate for adults seeking education and self-directed change. It does not replace therapy or medical care, and it is meant to complement, not override, other forms of support.

A Note on Change

Breaking cycles isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about understanding what shaped you and choosing what you carry forward.
