It's Ok To Feel Things Deeply Book

Some feelings are too big to tidy up with a positive quote—and It’s Okay to Feel Things Deeply understands that.

Created by artist Carissa Potter of People I’ve Loved, this beautifully illustrated book offers warmth, honesty, and encouragement for the moments when life feels heavy. Through thoughtful reflections, practical guidance, humor, and empathetic reminders, it makes space for emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, loneliness, grief, and overwhelm without trying to rush you through them.

Think of it as a small, comforting reminder that you’re allowed to feel what you feel—and you don’t have to have everything figured out right now.

For anyone who could use a little extra gentleness on a hard day.

Perfect for:

• Moms navigating the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood
• Anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, sad, or simply stretched thin
• The friend who feels everything deeply
• Someone moving through grief, change, or a difficult season
• Anyone who appreciates thoughtful encouragement without toxic positivity

It’s Okay to Feel Things Deeply doesn’t ask you to look on the bright side—it reminds you that difficult feelings deserve space, too.

Vibrant illustrations, meaningful messages, and approachable reflections make it easy to pick up whenever a little support is needed. Its combination of empathy, humor, and emotional honesty feels less like advice and more like hearing from a friend who really gets it.

A lovely addition to a care package or gift box, especially when you want to say: you don’t have to be okay all the time, and you don’t have to go through the hard parts alone.
