ABOUT SEEK UNITED:

Background and Foundation:

Brianna’s quest to live better came after a major concussion and subsequent fight against depression and workaholism. Using personal anecdotes from her recovery process, she takes a refreshing approach to deliver complex insights from experts in practical, approachable steps that empower audiences to make more space for self-care and increase their stress resilience, while improving their productivity, health and happiness. 

The idea for Seek United was formed while founder, Brianna Harrington, was working on her completing her Master's Degree in International Development in Dublin, Ireland. 

Frustrated by learning the negative impact of hyper-consumption had on people and planet she started to actively transition to a more mindful and sustainable existence. During her research, she realized that the primary reason for hyper-consumption in the United States had to do with high levels of stress and a ‘never enough’ culture. Further research highlighted that stress is not only an epidemic in the United States, it’s the leading cause of chronic lifestyle diseases and premature death. It also costs the US economy nearly 1 trillion dollars in productivity loss each year. 

Short story: American’s are unwell — mentally, physically, and emotionally. It’s not only effecting us, but our work, the economy, and our shared planet. Most of us know this, but don’t know what to do, or how to start making changes.

As she realized how deeply wellness, happiness, and success are intertwined she pivoted her mission to help people learn how to better care for themselves.

The best part is, this isn’t just fluffy feel-good stuff. Research shows that when you make time to improve your own wellbeing — you show up as your best self for everyone. You will have more energy, will be more creative, more compassion, will be better at problem solving, and more productive than at negative, neutral or stressed.

We have a particular interest in helping women who serve in professional leadership roles.

Women still make (or strongly influence) the 70-80 percent of decisions for their households, while also balancing their professional careers, motherhood, and caring for aging parents. This puts them in a unique position to not only have the biggest impact in the choices they make for future generations, but their colleagues and communities.

Ultimately, our goal is to empower everyone to live better by focusing on consuming more moments and fewer mementos. We use proven insights from behavioral science to help you increase your stress resilience, learn to live more mindfully and make small changes in your daily life that will make you and our shared planet, happier and healthier.
