Small steps to build your confidence
Most of us were never taught how to handle everyday social stuff.
- How to say no
- Set a boundary
- Handle rejection
- Start a conversation
- Make friends as an adult
Lu for Everyday Life gives you simple tools to make these moments a little easier.
Start with the free articles below, or download the free Lu Guide for practical tips you can use in real life.
How to tell if you're a safe person
Most people want to be a safe person. But safety isn't something we decide about ourselves. It's something other people experience when they're around us. This resource helps you reflect on whether people feel safe around you.
How to stay confident after rejection
Hearing ‘no’ can bring up shame, anger, sadness, or embarrassment. That is normal. This resource helps you separate the answer from your identity so you can respond well and move forward.
How to ask someone out without making it weird
Asking someone out can feel scary because you are putting yourself out there. This resource helps you ask in a way that is simple, respectful, and low-pressure.

A note from Jamie
I made these resources because we’re often expected to know how to handle life, even though most of us were never taught.
Lu brings together research, lived experience and practical tools you can use in real life.
There’s no one “right” way to use them. Take what helps, leave what doesn’t, and adapt it to suit you.
If you try something from Lu, I’d love to know how it went. Your feedback helps make the next resource better.
