Worry Medicine: Remedies and Rituals for Anxious Times

Find your way back to calm, creativity, and connection—even when the world feels overwhelming.

In an age of artificial everything, Worry Medicine offers something real: simple yet impactful practices that quiet the low hum of anxiety and awaken you to the web of support all around you.

This isn't another book that promises to eliminate your worry. Instead, it teaches you something far more powerful—how to live with worry in ways that nourish rather than deplete you. Because with a worried, exhausted mind, there's hardly room for the creative dreaming needed to build the more beautiful world we all long for.

Worry Medicine is your respite—a place to interrupt nighttime spiraling, soothe sensory overwhelm, and remember the peace and abundance that is possible. Open to any page and discover grounding practices, empowering perspective shifts that loosen old knots, and spiritual nourishment in the form of lush artwork.

Writer and visual artist Nina Montenegro has created an expansive toolkit that doesn't limit you to one healing modality. Through guided meditations, accessible art-making, grounding body movements, and time-tested rituals, you'll cultivate resilience and discover how connecting with nature and living your purpose become sources of healing you can access anytime.

Designed to be returned to again and again, Worry Medicine is an invitation to transform your mental health, creating space inside yourself to nourish the vital seeds of personal and collective change.
