Success does not have to come at the expense of your well being. In this inspiring TEDx talk, Erika, ALM Psychology ’25, shares how we can reduce stress, rethink achievement, and embrace the art of “even achieving” without sacrificing success.

Drawing from her background as a speaker, consultant, and founder of a million dollar training company, Erika combines research, personal experience, and practical insight to challenge the way we define accomplishment and motivation.
