Calm Amidst Chaos: A Companion Guide for Highly Sensitive People
Do you need to find some calm in the chaos? The world doesn’t slow down—not for traffic, not for deadlines, and certainly not for those of us who feel things deeply. If you’re a highly sensitive person, the constant noise, urgency, and pressure to keep up can leave you feeling like you’re fighting against the current.
That’s why I want to share something different: Calm Amidst Chaos, a collection of reflections and stories from writers and artists about locating peace as a highly sensitive person.. This isn’t just about weathering the storm—it’s about learning to recognise the signs before the clouds gather, so you can meet life with steadier footing.
What This Book Is (And Isn’t)
Calm Amidst Chaos is not a productivity manual. You won’t find life hacks or pep talks about grinding harder. Instead, it’s a gentle rebellion—a reminder that depth, not speed, is where meaning lives. Whether you’re already feeling drained or simply want to cultivate more resilience for the road ahead, this book meets you where you are.
Inside, you’ll hear from voices like Michaela Chung, Beth Buelow, Tracy Cooper, and musician Wes Finch, each offering their perspective on staying grounded when the world feels fractured. Their words are a testament to the quiet power of moving slowly, listening deeply, and choosing what matters—not just in crisis, but in everyday life.
A Resource for Now—And for What Comes Next
This isn’t a book to binge-read. It’s a companion—something to turn to when you need immediate grounding, but also a guide to help you build habits and perspectives that soften the impact of chaos before it takes hold. Keep it on your device for those moments when the weight of everything feels heavy, or when you simply want to reinforce your sense of balance in calmer times.
What You’ll Find Inside:
- Centring practices for stress relief and long-term resilience
- Stories of quiet strength from fellow sensitive souls
- Ways to prioritise depth—in work, relationships, and creativity
- Permission to step back from what doesn’t serve you
If you’ve ever felt out of step with a culture that prizes constant motion, this book is a hand on your shoulder. It’s for the days when you’re barely keeping afloat—and for the days when you’re learning to swim with the current, rather than against it.
