Our Story
We made the reminder we needed ourselves.
We’re Lindsay and Emily, two sisters who have both lived with anxiety and OCD in different ways.
Therapy gave us tools and perspectives that genuinely helped. But in anxious moments, it could still be hard to return to them.
That gap between knowing what helps and remembering it in the moment became the idea behind Presently.

It began with one helpful phrase.
My thoughts are passing clouds.
Lindsay first learned these words in therapy and later shared them with Emily.
They offered a different way to relate to difficult thoughts: noticing them without treating every one as something that needed to be followed, analyzed, or solved.
We wanted a way to keep that perspective with us, so we engraved the phrase onto a bracelet.
That became the first Presently reminder.
Perspective, not forced positivity.
Presently reminders are not meant to tell you to ignore difficult feelings, force a positive thought, or pretend everything is fine.
They offer perspectives inspired by the tools that helped us approach anxiety with more acceptance, flexibility, and courage.
They are not answers. They are words to return to while you take the next step yourself.
Built by sisters, shaped by community.
What began as something deeply personal has grown into a community of people choosing reminders that hold meaning in their own lives.
We’ve met customers at conferences, festivals, therapy practices, and events across the country. Every story we hear reminds us why we started.
We created Presently because we needed these words ourselves. We continue creating because so many others do, too.
Presently yours,
Supporting the community that shaped us.
Presently exists because of the tools, clinicians, organizations, and communities that helped us better understand anxiety and OCD.
That is why we donate 5% of each retail bracelet purchase to the customer’s choice of four mental-health nonprofits.

Find the words you want to return to.
Whether you wear them, carry them, see them, or practice with them, we hope your reminder helps bring a helpful perspective back into view.
