This book is written for people who, like the author, are working to make a change in order to live life by design. Perhaps you are striving to improve a relationship, prioritize your health, get enough sleep, hone your talents, champion a cause, open a new business, finish a degree, begin a new hobby, pay off debt, or discover your purpose? Whatever it may be you seek to do, obstacles that cause doubts, setbacks, and derailments, can and will arise. This book aims to provide perspectives and processes that you can keep in your pocket, take out, and utilize in order to Ease the Chaos you encounter along your journey. Ease the Chaos tells raw, genuine stories to help navigate difficult situations we might face as we work toward a better future. It is the author’s hope that you encounter something in this book before you need it and that it saves you from struggle. She calls this bubble wrap–someone’s hindsight we can use as foresight to make life a little easier.

Renee Welk has mentored and coached for three decades. Her work evolved from working with kids, students, and student athletes to wellness clients and entrepreneurs. She transitioned her mentorship into print with her book Ease the Chaos where she shares real stories of finding peace while navigating the struggles that come with change and growth. She talks about the thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions that we experience in moments of chaos in order to find peace and continue working toward life by design.

Renee leads us to uncover truths about ourselves and human nature, look at concepts from a different perspective, and make mindset shifts. We are also encouraged to fall in love with our whole selves, even the parts we don’t “like.” She brings to the table the skill of taking something abstract – like a goal – and personalizing it for each individual so that they can be successful (by their own definition). You will know after chatting with her or reading her book that you are NOT alone along your journey.
