about me

Hi, I’m Hanna Essenburg.

Like you, I’ve marched, organized, and fought for change—only to feel unheard, exhausted, and overwhelmed by apathy. Every pipeline, clear-cut forest, or climate disaster felt like a personal wound. I burned out trying to do it all.

That’s why I created Path to Impact Coaching—to help passionate activists like you turn frustration into real influence without sacrificing your well-being. Using neuroscience-backed strategies, I’ll help you protect your energy, communicate effectively, and create lasting change—without burning out.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s fight smarter, together.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

Let’s turn your vision into reality and create impactful change!

Why Work With Me?

Over the years, I saw many activists, including myself, grow disheartened by the slow pace of change. This led me to explore motivation and positive psychology,  as I realized the cause is too vital for us to abandon. My coaching philosophy draws inspiration from the song “No More Fear,” which empowers individuals to confront challenges with courage. I believe motivation, boundary-setting, and resilience are crucial tools for building a better world. As the song implies, we can be “tough together,” united in our pursuit of peace and justice. Together, we’ll strive for a future where everyone has “enough”– sufficient food, shelter, and security for all families.
