Hello, I’m Courtney—designer, systems thinker, and someone who’s spent a lot of time figuring out how to care for others and myself without burning out.
I created Tender Plan because I needed a sustainable system that didn’t shame me when I froze, forgot, or had a low-energy day. Let’s be real—every day is low energy… so where do we go from there?
I needed something that could hold both my intentions and my reality. Something that saw the invisible labor, the chronic pain, the fatigue, the neurodivergence—and still said, “I’ve got you,” and “You’re doing enough.” A system that encouraged rest and reminded me that what I was doing mattered.
I’ve spent years designing workflows, troubleshooting home systems, and building routines that honor fatigue, executive function, and emotional safety. This planner is the result of that lived experience—plus a lot of lavender, deep purple, and dotted lines.
Whether you’re navigating care work, chronic illness, or just trying to make it through the week with a little more dignity, I hope Tender Plan feels like a soft landing. It’s printable, freeze-friendly, and designed to support you without pressure.
Thanks for being here. You deserve tools that see what others don’t.
