For Teens
by Alexandria Courtney
Written directly to teens — not at them — this guided workbook breaks down three of the hardest emotions to deal with: anger, sadness, and fear. No lectures, no clinical jargon, no "just calm down." Instead, real explanations of what's actually happening in the body and brain, plus practical tools that work in the moment, not just in theory.
Each section follows the same clear path: understand the emotion, notice where it shows up in the body, name what's really going on underneath it, and build a toolkit of strategies that actually help. Along the way, guided reflection prompts, trigger checklists, and daily trackers turn insight into a habit — not just a one-time read.
A journal is coming soon… with guided prompts to aid the work done alongside this book.
Inside you'll find:
-Plain-language breakdowns of anger, sadness, and fear — what they are, why they happen, and why they're not something to be ashamed of
-Body-mapping pages that help teens recognize physical warning signs before emotions boil over
-Guided journaling prompts for real reflection, not surface-level checklists
-Practical, teen-tested coping tools for each emotion (fast grounding techniques, not vague advice)
-Daily/weekly trackers to spot patterns over time
-A quick-reference page for fast look-ups during hard moments
-A gentle, non-diagnostic section on when sadness may need more support — with conversation starters for talking to a trusted adult
***This is a skill-building tool, not a substitute for therapy or counseling — but it's a genuinely useful first step for teens who want to understand themselves better, and for parents, counselors, and educators looking for a resource that doesn't talk down to teens.***
LMHCA, Wife, and mama to some fur babies
Hello, I'm Alexandria Courtney, the author behind all this, and while I work as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) during the day, I spend my off time writing. This has always been a core part of who I am. While growing up, I was even published in high school through a local college with a poem I wrote. So, as I work to incorporate something I love so much into my daily life. I only hope my audience finds joy in utilizing the journals & Books that will soon be available. I also want to thank my amazing husband, who supports all of my thoughts and ideas!
Gratitude Journal with Guided Prompts
A 30-day journey to a more grateful, present you.

understanding big emotions and feelings
A fun coloring book for kids to also help regulate the emotions we are often told NOT to feel.
"Don't get mad, don't be afraid, and don't be sad." Learning to regulate these BIG emotions will help children transition to communicating these feelings.
A teen's daily journal for naming big feelings — and knowing what to do with them.
Anger, sadness, and fear can hit hard and fast, and it's not always easy to know what to do when they show up. 31 Days of Managing Anger, Sadness, and Fear is a month-long journal designed for teens, offering one short, doable practice each day to help you understand your emotions rather than feel stuck inside them.
1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month- at a time
Traditional planners weren't made for you — and that's not a flaw; it's a mismatch. Focus Forward is a daily planning system designed specifically for ADHD minds, with flexible time blocking, a brain dump space, and gentle accountability that works with your brain instead of against it.

Organize your days while staying rooted in your faith. This thoughtfully designed daily planner helps women manage their busy lives — work, family, home, and personal goals — while keeping God at the center of it all. More than just a scheduling tool, it's a companion for intentional living, blending practical planning with daily spiritual encouragement.
Notebook for Daily scripture or youth notes
Rooted in Philippians 4:6-7 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, this journal is more than a habit tracker — it's an invitation to practice gratitude as an act of worship.
