A soul-restoring path disguised as a story.

The Do Less Sidequest is a cozy, grief-informed challenge where you’ll unequip 7 toxic patterns like desperation, shame, and dissociation; not by pushing harder, but by practicing gentler, story-led alternatives.
Instead of cramming more into your schedule, you’ll slow down, reflect, and reclaim your capacity—one small, sustainable shift at a time.
Does this feel familiar?
You’ve spent years loving a dream that didn’t love you back.
You’re tired of living in “power-save mode” but don’t know how to restart.
You want to move forward, but you’re not sure what still belongs to you.
You know you're capable, but lately you've felt distant from yourself.
You don’t have to wait until you’ve healed to move forward. You can build something beautiful while you're still bleeding. It might feel like your story ended five chapters ago but this is where the plot twist begins.
Do less. Walk slower. Heal anyway.

Kayla Celeste
Hi, I’m Kayla—your fellow adventurer on this journey we call life. I’m a multi-passionate creative and storytelling strategist who’s on a mission to help burnt-out visionaries do less, dream better, and fall in love with the messy middle.
You’ll usually find me barefoot, getting lost in thrift bookstores, geeking out about Skyrim metaphors, and building systems that feel like sidequests. I’m not here to coach you into becoming someone else. I’m here to help you come home to yourself.
FAQ
IS THIS A WORKBOOK OR A COURSE?
It’s a self-paced, immersive digital guide—like a storybook meets a journal meets a soul check-in. All via PDF.
WHAT IF I DON'T FINISH IT IN 7 DAYS?
That’s okay! It’s designed to meet you where you are. You can take as long as you need.
IS THIS FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL GROWTH?
Both. But mostly personal. Because if you’re not okay, the business won’t be either.
What if I’ve already tried other burnout or productivity resources?
Most systems are built around doing more. The Do Less Sidequest is built around feeling more like yourself. It’s not about adding effort; it’s about shedding what no longer fits.
CAN I USE THIS IF I'M NOT A ‘CREATIVE’ PERSON?
Absolutely. While the tone is geared toward artists, writers, dreamers, and sidequesters, the real quest is human. If you’re navigating grief, burnout, or identity limbo, you’ll feel right at home.
IS THIS SOMETHING I HAVE TO SHARE PUBLICLY?
Nope! This is a private journey unless you choose to share. But if you want cozy community vibes, you're always welcome to come find me on Substack or Instagram and say hello.
So, what do you say, adventurer?
