Stew was born from a failed habits app idea I was designing back in August 2020. I got mad at something, stewed on my bed for 20 mins, then it hit me, anger. For the next year, the ideas were flowing, some good, some horrendous. I talked with therapists, psychotherapists, counselors, doctors, and more alike about stew, the ideas, wording the questions, and also some do’s and don'ts for a self-care app.

I was already journaling, so over that same span of the year, I was using the app myself but in a pen and paper format. I would write down the questions while answering them for each angered event I’d have in life. I would meditate before answering to calm my nerves and to allow more oxygen into my mind, etc. Over the course of several months, myself, friends and family have noticed an improvement with my emotions about things.
