My mission: support 100 families in 7 days 💛

Hey calm and colorful mama,
Before I ever became a mama, I created Calm & Colorful, not because I had it all figured out, but because I knew how important it was to care for my nervous system first.
I knew what it felt like to not have the tools.
When I was younger, I struggled deeply with depression. I didn’t know how to move through my emotions. I didn’t have safe ways to cope. The only tools I had were self-harming ones, not because I wanted to hurt myself, but because I didn’t know what else to do.
Then I lost Viktoria, someone I loved so much, to suicide at just 13 years old.
That grief changed everything. I knew I had to create what I wish we both had.
So I began making tools: coloring books, breathing practices, and audio series that help mamas and littles co-regulate together.
Now that I am a mama, I can tell you these tools are everything.
Korbin, who’s only 20 months, grabs one of our coloring books every single day. We color together, we breathe together, and we practice these tools not perfectly, but consistently. It’s become a part of our rhythm. And even when he doesn’t want to do it, just seeing me use the tools is making an impact.
One of my close friends even used the Breathe In Coloring Book during labor because these tools are for all ages. They bring safety, breath, and grounding no matter where you are in life.
And when we’re having one of those hard days, I pull up the I Feel audio series, pick the emotion I’m feeling or the one that’s taking over the room and within minutes, there’s a shift. It’s like someone reaching in and saying, “It’s okay to feel this way… and here’s what we can do next.”
🎯 This week, I’m on a mission to support 100 families with these exact tools.
- 🎧 My full breathing audio course is pay-what-you-can (starting at $11)

I made this for you, so you have something to reach for before the tantrum escalates.
So you don’t feel alone in the hard moment.
So your nervous system has an anchor.
So your child has a model.
So your family can feel safe again.
With love,
Jessica 💛
