We glorify hustle culture, pushing through exhaustion while ignoring a simple solution to burnout: stretch breaks. In this talk, Erica will share a mindful, social approach to stretching that can transform workplaces, classrooms, and daily life—shifting the culture from overworking to working smarter. Erica is a community builder, entrepreneur, and advocate for redefining wellness in everyday life. She founded Stretch Stop to challenge the norms of hustle culture and promote mindfulness through stretch breaks, with a dream of living in a world where people stretch anywhere and anytime. Passionate about innovation and social impact, she is committed to driving meaningful change in the community. A longtime admirer of TED Talks, Erica has always been inspired by their power to spark change and challenge norms. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
