Welcome to A New Way To Well

Life doesn't come with a guide, so we made one! If Lost Start Here is for the moments when you feel adrift, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself, a place to find the people, ideas, and spaces that help you feel more like you again.

Places Worth Going

We're building a guidebook of people-positive places across the US and UK, independent, innovative, and designed to help you find more good days. From local shops to wild landscapes to enriching meet-ups, wherever you are, there's somewhere worth going.

Podcast

A Thought I Kept

A Thought I Kept is a podcast about the ideas that stay with us, long after we’ve forgotten the rest. In each episode, a guest shares the one thought that shaped their life — the one they couldn’t let go of, and maybe you won’t either. Listen to our latest here! Or head to the link to see all of our podcasts.

Lost and Found Sessions

Sometimes you just need someone to think alongside you. Our 1:1 coaching sessions are for when you feel disconnected, stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself. These sessions offer a space to untangle what's going on, build self-trust and find more clarity.

If Lost, Start Here

A Guide for The Anxious, The Curious, The Lonely and The Lost

Book titled 'If Lost Start Here: Wellbeing for the Anxious, Disconnected or Uncertain' with a cover illustration of a person with a backpack walking on a winding trail through mountains at sunset.

We've spent the past seven years researching what it means to live a good life. We’ve explored the core of what people need, how habits are actually built, and why a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't serve us. If Lost Start Here is the wellbeing journal that we wish we had, and we couldn't be more proud to share it with you.

Meet Your Guides

Hi, we're Claire and Amanda, two friends who built the resource we couldn't find anywhere else. We love the science of wellbeing, but we kept wondering how to actually apply it when the laundry is toppling and the yoga mat is serving as a fort. The wellness world we found didn't reflect how we were just trying to get through life, so in 2019, we created If Lost, Start Here.

Claire is a wellbeing coach and emotions practitioner who helps women untangle what they're feeling and build a practice that fits who they are now. Amanda is a graphic designer and illustrator whose background in psychology — and talent for making things both beautiful and meaningful — shapes everything you see here.

We're here because we know what it feels like to be lost and because we believe finding your way can start with just one small step.
