“I grew up surrounded by noise, clutter, and a whole lot of responsibility. I learned early on how much our environment impacts how we feel, and how structure and systems can create a sense of calm amidst the chaos.”
Hi, I’m Sarah Weingarten, an Academic and Productivity Coach and the founder of Happy Spaces. I help people create systems and routines that make life feel less overwhelming and more intentional, whether we’re talking about your inbox, your calendar, or your everyday habits.
As the oldest of nine kids with two working parents, I grew up surrounded by noise, clutter, and a whole lot of responsibility. I learned early on how much our environment impacts how we feel, and how structure and systems can create a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Those lessons stuck with me.
Before launching Happy Spaces, I spent over a decade working in hospitality and property management with companies like Hilton and AvalonBay. I loved the fast pace and the people, but what I loved most was mentoring others and finding better ways to work. That passion eventually led me here.
“I believe that productivity isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things with more ease, clarity, and confidence.”
Today, I work with students, leaders, and professionals, many with ADHD or executive functioning challenges, to help them get clear on what matters, make a plan, and actually follow through. I believe that productivity isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
