When Life Feels Overwhelming, know that You’re Not Alone

Jerrika Brown is the founder of Growing Intentionally Life Coaching (GILC), a practice rooted in one core belief: growth begins when we slow down long enough to understand ourselves. Her work exists for people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost beneath the weight of life’s responsibilities—and are ready to do the deeper work of rediscovering who they are.

As a mental health advisor, Jerrika brings a psychology-informed and introspection-based approach to her work, helping individuals understand not just what they feel, but why they feel it. Her focus centers on introspection, emotional awareness, trauma-informed insight, and pattern recognition—supporting clients as they make sense of their internal world with clarity and intention.

Jerrika doesn’t offer surface-level motivation or quick fixes. She creates intentional, emotionally grounded spaces where individuals can unpack what they’re carrying, explore the roots of emotional overwhelm, and reconnect with themselves in honest, meaningful ways. Her approach is direct yet compassionate, guiding clients from survival mode into self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence, and intentional living.  

At the heart of everything she does, Jerrika helps people reconnect with who they are, heal what’s been weighing them down, and intentionally become who they’re meant to be.
