Your desires and dreams are legit treasures.
It's time for you to take them seriously...and bring them to fruition!
Just imagine YOU...living life this way:
~ You know your beautiful desires and dreams
~ You treat them like the precious treasures they are…meaning, you take them seriously and take action to make 'em happen.
~ You consciously and deliberately create a life where you're thriving...rather than simply surviving.
~ You take risks to go after your desires...because you trust you're resilient enough to handle the outcome.
~ You know you have the power to make important shifts in the world.
~ You view time and money and abundance as allies and partners, rather than things you fear or don't understand how to work with.
~ You see your inner gremlins—your limiting beliefs, your fears, your inner critic—for what they are and have mastery over them so they don’t rule your life.
~ You celebrate and revel in your strengths and unique gifts so you can fully express them and live up to your highest potential.
…and oh, soooooo much more.
Why this program, now?
After over a year of putting our dreams on hold, it's time to uncover and reclaim them.
When we're in crisis, survival takes center stage.
One of the side-effects of that is dreams get moved to the back burner, because getting through the crisis takes a LOT of energy and strength...and that’s where the focus needs to be.
The crisis can be physical, it can be emotional, or mental. It can be all-encompassing, or it can be the result of a daily energy-suck.
Sooooo, have we maybe had some crises lately where survival needed to be our focus? Like, oh, a pandemic, political upheaval, racial injustice, and more?
Although things are still hard, they are starting to shift for many of us.
And your dreams and desires are yearning for you, for your attention. They want to come to fruition!

Create Your Desires and Dreams
During the program, we dive DEEP into creating your desires and dreams:
: what they mean to you
: what a life where you prioritize your desires and dreams feels like
: how to make. that. awesomeness. happen.
We go into (and rock!) the five elements of creating desires and dreams:
1) Knowing what you desire and dream in order to create the life you crave
~ You gotta know what you want in order to get there! We'll spend some good quality time on uncovering your desires and letting them flow.
2) Cultivating the inner capacity to create your desires and dreams
~ Do you have the capacity to create and hold onto your desires and dreams?
We'll spend time on cultivating resilience, listening to your inner wisdom, managing your mindset, committing, and other super crucial inner work to make sure you've got the capacity you need.
3) Knowing and overcoming the obstacles—inner and outer, real or imagined—that could get in the way of creating your desires and dreams
~ You gotta know what could stand in your way! Whether it's limiting beliefs or fears, or you feel there's not enough time or money or support, we'll uncover the barriers to your desires and dreams and figure out ways to work through them.
4) Harnessing your resources
~ You gotta use your resources to bring desires and dreams to fruition! I'm talking time, energy, money, community, and more. We'll identity the resources you've got and what you need to bring 'em to fruition!
5) Taking amazing and effective action to create your desires and dreams
~ Sometimes desires and dreams just fall into your lap and happen...and sometimes you gotta take action to make 'em happen! You'll learn the most effective ways to figure out the actions that will lead to your desires and dreams!
Investment: Sliding scale
I’m so happy offer this program on a sliding scale!
This is an opportunity for me as a business owner and all of us as a community to acknowledge that services like life coaching are harder for some to access financially than others, and that things haven't been easy for many of us over the past year(s). I hope that by using a sliding scale, this program can be accessible to you, as well as others.
It can be difficult to gauge where you might fall on the sliding scale. Here's some guidance to help you determine your investment:
Consider paying $650-$850 if you...
-struggle to meet basic needs (such as food, transportation, and housing) on a regular basis
-have significant debt that gets in the way of meeting those basic needs
-have no or very limited expendable income (e.g. to buy coffee, go to a movie/concert, take an occasional or regular vacation)
-receive public assistance
-are an unpaid community organizer
-have medical expenses not covered by insurance
-are a survivor of abuse or gender-based violence
-are a person with a marginalized identity
Consider paying $851-$1150 if you...
-stress about money sometimes, but almost always meet your basic needs (such as good transportation, housing, healthcare)
-have significant debt but it doesn’t get in the way of meeting those needs
-have some expendable income (e.g. to buy coffee, go to a movie/concert, take an occasional vacation)
-have access to health care
-have access to family/other support
-have regular employment
Consider paying $1151-$1300 (or more!) if you...
-own the home you live in or rent a higher-end property
-have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
-have high earning power due to your education or background
-travel recreationally
-have access to family/other support
-work part time by choice
Note: Income and assets are only one aspect of your financial situation. Your true capacity to pay may actually be either below or above your suggested tier. I ask that you pay at the level that is an investment you'll take seriously, but won't cause you anguish or undue stress. Not my goal. :).
Why invest at a higher level?
I am committed to creating a world where everyone is supported 100%, with no one left out. That, after all, is true abundance! My sliding scale reflects this, by having those who can afford more cover costs for those who can only pay less. By paying at a higher level, you are helping ensure that this work is accessible to an economically diverse community of people.
FAQs
Q: Why will this course work for me when/if other courses or books or whatever haven't?
If you have this question, then I'm guessing you've got some self-doubt and are perhaps feeling hopeless that anything for you can or will change. I understand! I've been there!
First of all, we're going to spend a good chunk of time on letting go of those thought patterns and see where that hopelessness comes from...so you can let go of it. Because it's bullshit and it's messing with your head.
Second, just by asking that question, it's clear you have insight that what you've tried before didn't work, and you're (hopefully) willing to try something new.
Between the alchemy of you and me, and the wonderful group, amazing things can and will happen.
I will say, though, that I can present the information and the support...and that you've got to commit to yourself to do the work. If you can't do that, then this course isn't right for you. I'm not interested in taking your money and you not doing the work and then feeling even crappier about yourself. That's not what I'm about, and that's not what I want for you.
Q: What will creating my desires and dreams really do for me?
Oh man, the list is loooooong! You'll be more confident, you'll take better care of yourself, your relationships will improve (the ones worth improving, at least!), your income will potentially increase, you will value all your desires and dreams and take steps to make them happen, you'll enjoy being YOU, you'll have less stress because you'll manage your energy and resources better, and OMG. The list goes on.
Q: Why are you qualified to do this?
Well, I have a Masters degree in social work from Hunter College School of Social Work in NYC, I founded a women's empowerment nonprofit, I went through hell and back financially and decided to learn about money and got all sorts of financial licenses, and I've coached hundreds of people to overcome their limiting beliefs and fears in order to achieve their highest potential.
My unique perspective of women's empowerment + social justice + finance + my general brilliance has helped me create a 12 step system to overcome limiting beliefs and fears (which you'll learn as part of the program), as well as many other tools.
Q: Who is this course for?
If you are ready to take charge of your life, own your gifts, stretch the boundaries of your comfort zone, overcome your inner gremlins, thrive, and more...then this course is for you!
More specifically, the course is for people of all races, ethnicities, beliefs, and gender identities.
Q: Who is this course NOT for?
I say this as gently as possible: if you are deep in a place of crisis, experiencing profound depression or anxiety, or are actively healing from a trauma of any kind, this course is not for you. Please seek out a skilled therapist so you can get the support you need, and please feel free to reach out to me at eryka_AT_eryka.com if you need help finding one.
Q: What happens once I sign up?
Within a few hours after you make your payment, you’ll receive a personal welcome e-mail from me with information about how to access the calls and additional info. Everything is set up to be as easy as possible for you. And if it's not, let me know!
Q: Where does this course take place?
Wherever you are! You just need to be able to access your email and ideally a phone line. (There are international dial-in numbers for almost every country, so we should have you covered. But if worse comes to worst, you can access the recordings online.)
Q: Do I have to be in the U.S. to participate?
Nope! Just be aware that the emails and calls will be in English, unless I slip into the occasional Spanish or Czech. :)
Q: Will I get personal attention from you?
Yes! 1-on-1 coaching is built into the program for maximum effectiveness along with tools and info and to help YOU make your desires and dreams happen!
Q: I love it! Can I pay in installments?
I'm deeply committed to my work being accessible to whoever feels the call, so YES! Contact Eryka so we can arrange it.
Q: What if I don't like it?
I know how scary it is to invest money in something that might not appear to have an immediate, tangible return. I'm so confident that this program will be AWESOME for you that I'm happy to guarantee that you'll get something out of it...or your money back. You'll have to do your part—complete the course, show that you read all the emails and did all the action steps, and make your request by January 1st, 2020—but if you do all that and find that it didn't serve you, then you'll get a nice refund from PayPal (less a 10% processing fee).
That's me, Eryka Peskin!
I'm an abundance coach, a licensed social worker, a fierce cheerleader, a writer, a nature loving & road-tripping photographer, and I had a bunch of financial services licenses.
I do this work because my all-encompassing desire is to free us all from the inner gremlins—the limiting beliefs and fears—that keep us locked in scarcity and prevent us from going after our beautiful dreams and desires. I believe that people who are happy and in touch with their abundance do good things in the world, which means cultivating an abundant mindset is good for the world.
