Steady

Show up steady. Leave feeling good about it.

Steady helps you prepare for social events and process them afterward — so you can actually enjoy connecting with people instead of dreading it.

Steady

More Than Survival Mode

Whether it's a work mixer, a dinner party, or just drinks with people you don't know well — you know that feeling. The low-grade dread beforehand. The exhaustion of performing. The replay loop afterward where every awkward moment expands to fill your whole brain.

Steady helps you break that cycle. Not with clinical interventions or generic mindfulness — but with practical preparation and healthy reflection habits that feel like talking to a thoughtful friend.

"Social events don't have to feel like something you survive."

How Steady Helps

Pre-Event Preparation

A conversational flow that helps you think through upcoming events: the context, what you genuinely want to bring, your energy levels, and your exit plan if you need one. Show up grounded instead of bracing for impact.

Glanceable Notecard

Your prep distilled into a quick reference. Topics to bring up, people to connect with, your intention for the event — all at a glance when you need a moment to center yourself.

Post-Event Reflection

Process what happened without the 2am spiral. Start by noticing what went well, then examine what felt hard with curiosity instead of judgment. A 5-minute limit prevents over-processing.

Pattern Insights

Over time, Steady surfaces your strengths, preferences, and growth. Situations where you thrive. Progress you might not notice on your own. Self-knowledge, not evaluation.

Rumination Detection

If you start repeating yourself — the classic rumination pattern — Steady gently redirects you. Break the loop before it takes hold.

Graceful Exit Strategies

Leaving early is always okay. Sustainable participation matters more than maximum participation. Steady helps you plan shame-free exits before you need them.

Support Without Stigma

Steady isn't therapy, and it's not trying to be. There are no anxiety scores, exposure hierarchies, or therapeutic jargon. The experience feels like preparing for an event with a thoughtful friend who asks good questions and helps you think things through.

This is for the 20-39% of people who find social situations draining — not because something is wrong with them, but because social energy is finite and preparation helps.

The goal isn't to "fix" you. It's to help you show up as yourself.
