Real Check-in. Real Change

11/02/2026

Hi, I’m Jane - psychologist and author of the How Are You REALLY? check-in cards.

These cards were created with a simple but important belief: If we don’t know how we’re really doing, we can miss the early signs that something needs attention - whether that’s stress building, burnout approaching, or simply a need to pause. 🌱

They’re designed to meet you wherever you are. You can use them at any point in the day - during a quiet morning moment, before a meeting, after a difficult conversation, or when something just feels “off.”

✨On the front of each card is a single check-in word.
✨On the back, you’ll find three prompts to help you understand that state more deeply, along with small, meaningful ways to respond.

With over 160,000 possible card combinations, each check-in guides you through a gentle, structured process - one that builds awareness without overwhelm.

My hope is that these cards bring you small moments of clarity and calm, whenever you reach for them. 🌿

✨Why simple prompts can help create more meaningful conversations ✨

Talking doesn’t always fail because people don’t care.

Often it’s because we don’t know where to start.

Simple prompts remove the pressure to explain everything at once. They create a shared starting point - whether that’s in a team check-in or around the kitchen table.

🌱 Instead of: “How are you?” (which often gets “I’m fine”) a prompt invites something more honest, without forcing it.

That’s why structured check-ins can be so powerful. They make space for conversation- gently, safely, and at a pace that feels right.

Did Time to Talk Day yesterday prompt any new conversations for you?

Today marks Imbolc 🌱

A seasonal moment that sits quietly between winter and spring, traditionally a time of renewal, hope, and gentle beginnings. Not a rush into action, but a pause to notice what’s slowly starting to stir beneath the surface.

At How Are You REALLY?, this feels like a natural invitation to check in.

To notice how you are - physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually and what you might be carrying as the season begins to shift.

💭 What feels ready to emerge?
💭 What still needs rest or protection?
💭 What small intention feels right for the weeks ahead?

Imbolc reminds us that change doesn’t have to be loud or fast. Sometimes, it starts quietly with awareness.

💬 Testimonial Tuesday 💬

We love hearing how our How Are You Really? cards are becoming part of your daily routines 💛

✨ “My girlfriend and I have made them part of our morning routine — they’ve become such a meaningful way to check in with each other.
Each card opens up space for honest conversation, helping us understand how we’re both feeling and how we can support one another throughout the day.

It’s such a simple but powerful idea — it’s helped us become more mindful, connected, and kind.” ✨

These are exactly the moments we hoped to create - small, meaningful check-ins that spark real connection. 💭
