Career & Relationship Coaching

You’re not stuck. You’re standing at a threshold.

Career and relationship coaching for people in the middle of a change they can’t quite name yet. I work with psychology, the body, and intuition, so you can trust your own read on things even when the path isn’t marked.

Five Things I Believe

You were built for something, and nobody gave you the manual.

01

You were built for something you were never trained for.

Nobody taught you how to trust your gut, or how to read what your body keeps telling you. You’ve solved everything so far by thinking harder. That’s a real skill, and right now it isn’t enough.

02

You’re not broken. You’re between versions of yourself.

The next version of your life is already pulling at you, and you can feel it. The fear is real. So is the insecurity. Standing at the edge of something new feels almost exactly like being stuck, which is why so many people turn around here.

03

Love shouldn’t feel like a riddle you can’t solve.

Nobody teaches you the language: how to hear what someone actually means underneath the words, or how to say what you mean without the armor on. Both are learnable. Most people just never get shown.

04

Your dreams are not fantasies. They’re directives.

That restlessness, the ache for more, the vision you keep not saying out loud. It isn’t escapism. It’s information about where you’re meant to go. The whole universe is trying to collaborate with you.

05

Real change feels like relief, not effort.

It doesn’t come from grinding harder. It comes from the moment your own truth lands and shoves the old story out of the way, and you feel that in your body, not just your head. Affirmations don’t do it. Reframes don’t either. When it actually shifts, it stays.

The Invitation

Most people come to me in crisis, then realize the crisis was the thing their soul set up to get their attention.

It usually shows up right before a threshold, when some older version of you is finished and hasn’t admitted it yet.

Where I Can Meet You

Three doorways. One purpose: getting you unstuck.

However it shows up, the work underneath is the same: getting you back in contact with yourself.

Love & Relationships

  • Love lost in translationWhen communication breaks down, small things turn into big ones. I help you actually hear each other again.
  • Becoming magneticYou’re not doomed to be single. Most of the work is getting back in contact with your own power, which is what people actually respond to.
  • Clarity at the crossroadsStay or go? You usually already know. What’s missing is enough trust in yourself to act on it.

Career & Purpose

  • Fear as compassLife pushes you forward by making it uncomfortable to stay put. I help you read doubt as a direction rather than a stop sign.
  • Building something realYou know what’s alive in you. Now it needs a shape. I’ve started twelve businesses, so I can help with the unglamorous half, not just the vision.
  • Worth & valueThe money block is usually not about money. It’s about what you think you’re worth, and that one changes from the inside out.

Body & Soul

  • The intelligence underneathA felt sense in your gut, a knowing that arrives before words. I help you trust the signal your body is already sending.
  • Beliefs that land in the bodyThere’s a difference between deciding something and feeling it settle. The second one is what holds.
  • Breaking the cycleSame pattern, different year. Repeating cycles are usually asking for something specific. I help you work out what.

Welcome, I’m Eric

You were destined for a mythical life.

What you really came here for is to hear your soul and trust it. What you think you came here for is whatever crisis you’re in. They’re the same thing.

I’ve spent my life chasing one question: how life actually patterns itself. Twelve businesses of my own, a hundred or so I helped other people start, twenty-odd professions, homes on four continents, and more teachers than I can count, from the old philosophers to behavioral psychologists.

I’ve sat shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of founders and executives, and walked with people through their worst weeks for eighteen years. I teach in stories and metaphors because those keep working on you long after the call ends.

A way of talking to yourself that encourages instead of punishes.
Deep, durable trust in yourself and your choices.

More inner freedom than you’ve had in your life.
Words From People I’ve Worked With

Voices from the path.

For the first time in my adult life, I feel like I am truly home within myself.

Berlin · Eight therapists couldn’t reach her

There is not one day that passes that his voice is not present in my conversation.

Gino · 12 years later

I had no idea Eric could change a man’s life in 7 days. I couldn’t write a single note for months. Now I’m producing more material than ever before. And the best part? I don’t feel like I’m trying at all.

Josh · Composer

I talked to Eric for 30 minutes and it was like he was in the heads of the people I’m dealing with. He’s a mind reader. I feel so much more graceful.

Maggie · Marketing Executive

He creates a safe space. He communicates clearly. Eric uses his wisdom and knowledge to bring calm and ease to my situation. There is a nurturing softness to his ability to guide.
