Listening for What Is Calling

  • There are many skilled coaches who can help us understand our patterns, clarify what we want, and make more conscious choices about how we live, lead, and relate.

    I’m interested in a different question:

    What if our lives are not only about becoming who we want to be, but listening for what wants to move through us?

    For me, I call this God.

    For you, it may be God, the divine, the sacred, life, nature, love—or something you don't yet have a name for.

    You don't need to share my beliefs. I am interested in helping you discover and deepen your own relationship with what is larger than you.

  • I work primarily with people who attend my retreats. Coaching is how we prepare for the retreat and continue the work afterward.

    Many of the people I work with have already accomplished much of what they set out to do. They’ve built careers, businesses, families, and full lives. Many have also spent years doing their own inner work.

    At some point, the questions change.

    Less:

    What do I want?
    How do I become more successful?

    And more:

    What does God want to create through me?

    This is often the work of a second act.

    Less proving. Less striving.
    More meaning. More service. More listening for what is mine to do.

    If this speaks to where you are, we can talk.

  • Before the retreat, we explore what is bringing you there, what is alive in your life, and what you may be ready to look at.

    Afterward, we return to what emerged.

    A retreat can open something profound. But seeing something clearly and living differently because of it are not the same thing.

    Together, we make meaning of your experience and explore what it asks of you in your actual life.

    What needs to change? What are you ready to let go of? What might you be called to create or serve?

    You remain the authority on your own experience.

    I listen. I ask questions. I challenge you when needed. And I help you stay close to what you know to be true.

    The retreat may open the door. Coaching helps you bring what you discovered into the way you live.

What People Are Saying

When I met Aerin almost three years ago, I had just become CEO while carrying profound grief and trauma, and I was learning how to lead while still learning how to hold myself.

Working with her taught me to turn toward what hurt, see my wounds and ego without letting them run my life, and choose expansion, love, and truth over protection and self-sabotage.

That shift has changed everything: professionally, I am now in my third year as CEO, leading $1bn organization through extraordinary expansion from a place of clarity, energy, and service rather than struggle and control; personally, I am building a life I once might have unconsciously pushed away—including a deeply conscious, loving partnership and a commitment to fully inhabit the life I want.

Aerin helped me understand that healing is not leaving pain behind, but becoming free enough to hold pain, love, ambition, and possibility at once—and that has been one of the most consequential transformations of my life.
