"For those who carry invisible wounds: simple practices to find calm, courage, and steady healing ? one breath at a time"

Strong & Still is a gentle, practical companion for service members, veterans, first responders, and anyone carrying quiet wounds who wants to find clarity, courage, and steady peace. Kenzie Kattich writes with compassion and lived wisdom, guiding the reader through short, immediately usable practices ? breath pauses, five-senses check-ins, micro-observations, and simple journaling prompts ? that anchor presence and dissolve the frantic need to control what we cannot.

This book walks you chapter by chapter through acceptance, boundaries, resilience, forgiveness, hope, balance, self-compassion, and joy. Each section includes reflection invitations and micro-actions you can try today: a single-breath pause, a small brave act, or a tiny ritual to restore rhythm and meaning. Kenzie?s tone is steady and humane ? she treats setbacks as lessons, scars as symbols of strength, and healing as a practice rather than a deadline.

Whether you?re healing from trauma, facing burnout, or simply wanting to live with more presence, Strong and Still offers concrete tools and an uplifting roadmap for building an inner safety net. Read a page, try one practice, breathe ? and remember: you are not alone, your pace is your power, and hope is always within reach.
