Dismantling overwhelm with changemakers everywhere

 

Feeling Overwhelmed from serving others, but guilty for taking time for yourself?

You can make time for your own happiness and support your community! 

Begin Branching Out

is happiness coaching for over-givers who long to find joy in the present moment, choose what they truly want without guilt, and create space for rest and play.

We help educators, nonprofit advocates, and youth empowering changemakers who take care of everyone else build habits to honor themselves through

  • time-sensitive accountability,
  • one-on-one support, and
  • engaging workshops

that dismantle shame and overwhelm.

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.
I want to join the Jumpstart!
