Expert research, teaching, and coaching —made yours.
Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky. A Harvard-educated researcher, specializing in the science of human flourishing and connection, Sonja set out thirty-six years ago to answer a question that wouldn't leave her alone: why are some people able to thrive no matter what life throws at them? That question has produced some of the most cited research in psychology, three bestselling books — The How of Happiness, The Myths of Happiness, and How to Feel Loved — and a body of work that has reached millions of people worldwide.
Lauren Weinstein. A Stanford lecturer and executive coach who sees 'behind the scenes,’ Lauren knows that we all struggle with the same things: self-doubt, disconnection, communicating effectively. What she's found is that there’s really only a small subset of practices that make all the difference. Following her communication class at Stanford, private coaching, and TED Talk Don't Believe Everything You Think, she’s now committed to taking these insights and creating a formula for turning them into lived practice.
Together they bring the best of both worlds: research and insights that actually become the way you live.
Join us for a “happy” hour every Friday to gain insights for addressing your biggest challenges and aspirations.
Through honest conversation and real life application, we create a space for real change and a community you look forward to being with each week.
Life's most important skills. All in one place.
At Elevate you build the skills most of us were never taught.
Show up more authentically. Connect more deeply. Develop greater presence, calm, and confidence. Say hard things with grace and ease. Build the kind of trust that makes others want to follow and work with you.
You'll also learn how to ask better questions, make small talk not so small, navigate challenging people and conversations, and make quicker shifts from stressed to calm and in flow.
These are all learnable skills and the ones that make all the difference.

The Membership
Elevate is a weekly space led by Lauren and Sonja where you gain access to expert insights and participate in guided conversations.
Each science-backed session focuses on one concrete tool you can start applying immediately.
Over time, each insight compounds, changing the way you live and work.
Sessions are 30 minutes, every Friday at 9:30am PT. Recordings available if you can’t make it live.
Stay for an unrecorded bonus: 30 minutes of live coaching and community at 10am for those who want to go deeper and spend more time with Lauren, Sonja, and the community.
When you join live, you'll get to know a group of people you’ll love, who show up authentically and share their real lives.
Early member pricing starting at $47/month. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
Elevate is designed on the science of lasting change
We go from “I should do that” to “I’m actually doing it” when we have:
Consistency — You’ll be set up with one micro-practice each week, small enough to make easy and repeatable. Micro-practices repeated over time rewire how we think, feel, and respond.
Engagement — When you actively engage with an idea by discussing it, applying it, and returning to it, it becomes part of how you actually think and live.
Accountability — We change faster in community. Knowing others are on the same path, hearing their stories, and learning from their experiences, while feeling safe and supported ourselves, is one of the strongest predictors of lasting change.
Elevate is built around all three. Because that's what the research shows actually works.
