NOTICE

MANUFACTURING NOTICE:
SECOND PRINTING AUTHORIZED

Reserve your production package and help permanently reduce the retail price of the Anti-Stress Deck to $15.

Apparently, there are more emotionally exhausted people than anticipated.

After the response to the first run of the Begrudgingly Grateful Anti-Stress Deck, we're officially opening production for a second printing.

This is not a crowdfunding campaign.

It is a production run.

The first run was intentionally small.

This production run is designed to be large enough that we can permanently reduce the retail price from $30 to $15.

The goal is simple: print enough decks that I can permanently lower the retail price and get them into more hands without every order feeling like a tiny logistical crisis.

If we hit our production target, I plan to make $15 the standard retail price for the Anti-Stress Deck. That's been the goal from the beginning.

Every preorder helps move us closer to that point.

Deck of cards with a card titled "Begrudgingly Grateful" showing a skeleton meditating with purple flames behind it. Caption says, "When your brain won't shut up. Pick a card. Do the thing. MOVE ON."
A motivational board with cards emphasizing gratitude, hydration, and managing overthinking, burnout, and getting unstuck. The main card reads, 'HYDRATE: Drink water, you elegant desiccated cactus. Sip dramatically and call it resilience.' The background features a dark surface with a banner at the top saying, 'A COPING DECK FOR OVERTHINKING, BURNOUT, GETTING UNSTUCK.'
