A behavioral health tool for job loss.
Your nervous system doesn't distinguish between a bear in the forest and losing your job. It's terrifying. A threat response is triggered and everyday things become more and more exhausting as your external routines and daily structure crumbles.
Steadwell is the daily scaffolding to hold onto while you recover.
More than 20 million people in North America experience involuntary job loss each year. The industry responded by building productivity apps and logistics tools: resume builders, job boards, AI coaches. None of them address why so many people cannot use those tools effectively when they need them most.
Your body is in threat mode. Your daily structure has collapsed. Self-criticism is making everything worse.
This is a trauma-grade stressor and it is about time that we treat it like one.
When you're in threat mode, your brain insists the only thing that matters is fixing the crisis. Getting a job. Sending applications. Networking. Everything else feels like wasted time: going for a walk, making dinner, calling someone back.
That tunnel vision feeds the shame spiral.
Steadwell breaks that spiral. Each day, you mark which parts of your life you touched. Made breakfast? Self-care. Called a friend? Social. Applied to jobs? Career. As you log across the five domains (career, physical wellness, social connection, creative expression, basic self-care), you see where you showed up and what you might be neglecting.
That gives you the awareness to maintain and sustain the rest of you while you're searching for work.
Steadwell is launching a private beta in Q2 2026. Join the waitlist or learn more about how it works.
