Hi there! I'm Erika,
Your Happiness Coach!
While teaching middle school science in the underprivileged community where I grew up, I was committed to supporting my students to become the best version of themselves, but also burned myself out in the process.
Then I realized that I can change the world, take care of my community, and have fun too! I call this system...
Scheduling Happiness!
I help changemakers cultivate the tools & autonomy to:
- detach their self-worth from capitalist productivity,
- experience gratitude over guilt, and
- cultivate happiness within themselves to make space for rest & play.
