Well, That Was a Doozy!
A Therapist’s Guide to Participating in Life’s Unexpected Moments
What happens when life doesn't go according to plan?
In this semi-memoir with a clinical lens, Rachael Stewart, LCSW explores what it means to participate in life rather than waiting for everything to finally feel settled, certain, or under control. Through personal stories, therapeutic insight, and practical reflection, Rachael invites readers to move from control to presence and discover how to enjoy the journey—even when the journey is a doozy.
Coming September 19, 2026
