Are you a queer, anti-capitalist entrepreneur ready to release the shame, fear, and confusion surrounding money and heal your relationship with it—on your terms?

It starts with your conscious and intentional choice to heal.

Let me ask you...

Have been yearning to create a life and business that aligns with your values, but you desperately don't want to participate in capitalism?

Whether you're beyond ready to leave your 9-5, or you're burnt out, maybe you've thought to yourself...

"I can't have a successful business without being manipulative or exploitative."

"Even though I'm drained at my current job and it's truly sucking my soul, it would be selfish to go after what I truly want." 

"I need to take more courses, get a certification, and become more of an expert before I claim myself as a leader in my industry."

“I constantly feel like there’s never enough, no matter how hard I work or how much I achieve.”

“I’m afraid of being seen or judged if I step fully into my leadership or business.”

“I feel embarrassed about my financial situation and avoid looking at my bank account.”

"I want to make an impact in the world, but I don’t see anything special about me and I have no idea what I can contribute."

“I keep holding back because I feel like I’m not ‘ready’ or good enough to start.”

 

It's time to shed the patterns that keep you trapped in fear and self-doubt, and replace them with the emotional resilience needed to build a business that truly reflects your values and vision.

Sound familiar?

You’ve scoured the internet, searching for ways to heal your relationship with money—Googling everything from: "Why does talking about money make me feel bad?" “How to stop feeling guilty about money,” and “Why do I feel anxious about spending?”

Hours spent on your computer searching for tips, tricks, and strategies have left you still panicking at the thought of pricing your work. The free webinars on abundance mindset or money manifestation feel empty and shallow, missing the depth you crave. You're more overwhelmed than before, frustrated that you've given away your email address for little in return.

You've tried journaling prompts, budgeting apps, and financial podcasts, but nothing addresses the root of your money shame and fear. You're exhausted, realizing that more strategies aren't the answer—healing your money trauma is.

Deep down you know you want to do business differently, but you’re stuck at the “how.” The one thing you are sure of is that entrepreneurship is a healing journey that will require you to make some powerful shifts mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.


This simultaneously scares the fuck out of you and makes you want to squeeze your couch pillow with excitement.

 You might not feel completely “ready,” but you’re absolutely committed to living life on your terms and expressing your soul’s purpose. But you know you need to find the right coach and container to allow yourself to make this expansive leap. 

You know this new chapter will re-structure everything about your life as you know it. It's where you begin intentionally healing patterns shaped by trauma and stepping into aligned leadership—no more hesitating and playing small.

“These capitalist, patriarchal ideas that have been ingrained in me weren’t serving me at all, so being able to embrace these new teachings was so pivotal for me." -Tessa Yoder

What if I told you...

 There is a way you can build a business that fuels and feeds your soul without compromising your integrity... 

It's completely in your power to create a brand, platform, and business rooted in your anti-capitalist values and consent, not exploitation and oppressive systems that perpetuate harm…

You can be an entrepreneur that acknowledges the stolen land you're doing business on, honors the original stewards, and redistributes your wealth accordingly in regards to your position of power...

You are capable of rewiring your subconscious beliefs and narratives that you were forced to adopt in order to survive in this white supremacist cisheteropatriarchal society...

You can access the support and encouragement you've been yearning for while being held in a nourishing container by someone who's been where you are... 

Despite your fears and doubts, you're already taking steps to build a business that aligns with your values. Now, you need to trust your ability to heal your relationship with money and use your unique gifts to create something meaningful.

If you’re saying “fuck yes” as you’re reading this then I invite you to work with me 1:1!

Vesta Business School 1:1 Private Coaching is in session…

Give yourself permission to step into your truth and cultivate emotional resilience and financial alignment. As Chani Nicholas says, "Because we live in capitalism, we can’t fully heal unless we have the material means to do so." This journey is about healing the relationship with money and power, so you can move forward in integrity.

This 1:1 coaching program is for spiritual and anti-capitalist creatives and entrepreneurs who desire to move into the next phase of their expansion, so they can express their soul’s purpose while being in business with integrity. Through a trauma-informed approach, I help you create and maintain supportive internal and external structures, so you can do rewarding work without compromising your integrity or paycheck.

This coaching program is for queer, anti-capitalist entrepreneurs and creatives who want to heal their relationship with money by addressing emotional wounds like shame, scarcity, and fear. Over 12 weeks and 9 private sessions, we’ll focus on dismantling the internal barriers tied to money trauma, so you can confidently make values-aligned decisions in your business—without focusing on financial growth or traditional business strategies. This is about transforming your relationship with money, creating alignment with your values, and building a business true to who you are. Get ready to receive real, unfiltered support beyond the highlight reel of Instagram.

"Before working with Erin I felt very confused, and like I was in a rut. I felt disempowered, very stuck. Now, I’m confident in the fact that my business is going to align with my values and it’s going to be an energetic match with who I am. I feel confident about what I’m doing because I’m confident enough in myself and what I have to offer." -Tessa Yoder

BRING YOUR WHOLE SELF

This is a space where you’ll be supported in embracing your whole self.
Systems of oppression like capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy have conditioned you to play small and hide parts of yourself to feel safe. This program is about breaking those cycles and stepping into your full power—without compromise. Here, you’ll heal the emotional wounds tied to money and self-worth, allowing you to reclaim your voice and create a business that reflects your values and whole self. Now is the time to take up space and thrive authentically.

ROBUST CURRICULUM

This isn’t your typical business school. You’ll be guided to explore your psychological and emotional trauma around money with compassion, so you can cultivate emotional resilience and align your financial decisions with your values. This program combines trauma-informed practices with insights from astrology, attachment theory, and anti-capitalist principles, giving you the tools to heal internal blocks and create a business that reflects who you are—without compromising your integrity.

Why Vesta?

Chani Nicholas says,

"Vesta is about what we dedicate ourselves to, what we focus on. And it’s about the flame, the hearth, the home. The flame that we keep alive in our life. So, it's about what we believe in and how we are dedicated to it. And Vesta is a signature of belonging to oneself, so it's more of an internal and internalized experience more than an extroverted or externalized, or experience about other people. It’s really about communing with god, goddess, the great divine, through the rituals that are about turning our energy inward and being replenished, and going back to those replenishing practices and places."

Vesta Business School is about realigning with your intuitive and natural rhythms and systems that are inherent to you, so that you and your business can thrive. In nature there are exquisite, intelligent, and elegant systems that get fucked up by oppressive systems like capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. This coaching program is about clearing away societal clutter, so you can reconnect with yourself and build a business rooted in reciprocity, authenticity, and mutual care. This program is about sustaining your values and nourishing your spirit, without the pressure to conform to exploitative systems.

Vesta Business School Private Coaching will allow you to…

...see the lush possibilities that exist (The Empress) when you channel your divine purpose and make it manifest materially in the world (The Magician). Nourished and well-rooted, you will feel calm and connected to yourself as you grow your business and serve your community. You'll feel a relaxed power and deep trust in your decisions.

 

Vesta Business School will guide you to heal your relationship with money, releasing oppressive conditioning that's holding you back. You’ll gain the tools to make empowered, values-driven decisions aligned with your anti-capitalist principles. Rather than fixating on income growth, you'll cultivate emotional resilience and reconnect with your self-worth. This will enable you to build a business that truly reflects your authenticity, firmly rooted in integrity and sustainability.

In practical terms, this means:

  • No longer feeling ashamed or anxious when dealing with finances, but instead feeling grounded and confident in making values-aligned decisions.

  • Building a business that supports collective liberation and aligns with your values, without the pressure to compromise your integrity for financial gain.

  • Cultivating emotional resilience to face challenges without self-sabotage, while trusting your judgment and choices.

  • Showing up authentically in your work, without feeling the need to conform to oppressive or capitalistic molds, fostering deeper connections with your clients and community.

This program is about creating a business that feels nourishing emotionally and materially, allowing you to thrive without sacrificing your values.

Are you ready to work for yourself at your own pace from a feminist, anti-capitalist, #antigirlboss approach, but you just need some guidance from someone who’s been there, done that?

Are you ready to stop scrolling Instagram on your couch for hours going down the rabbit-hole of comparison wondering when it will be your turn, and instead recover from burn-out and take back the direction and flow of your future and next steps?

Do you set goals only to come up against minor setbacks that throw you off course completely, and now you’re ready to strengthen your resilience, initiative, and follow-through?

Are you having a hard time trusting yourself to take the necessary risks in order to shift into your truth and power? (Basically you’re sick of feeling wishy-washy and you’re ready to be confident in your choices and take aligned action!)

Then Vesta Business School is for you, my friend!

No Spiritual Bypassing Zone

Vesta offers a Trauma-Informed Approach to Money, Abundance, and Manifestation

Vesta Business School utilizes the Trauma of Money Method (TOM). TOM is a unique financial literacy approach (of which Erin is a certified facilitator) that brings together the psychology of trauma and our relationship with money. This will allow you to transform your relationship with money from one of avoidance and shame, to one of openness and understanding. This process is rooted in compassion, guiding you to move from a place of anxiety to one of clarity, understanding, and self-worth, without focusing on income growth or traditional business practices.

WE NEED TO DO BUSINESS DIFFERENTLY. WE NEED TO IMAGINE NEW FUTURES.

That’s where YOU come in. You know in your heart that an equitable world means abolition, reparations for Black people, and the land returned to the original stewards.

I don’t have to explain to you how important it is that we need to challenge and dismantle oppressive systems that create, maintain, and protect billionaires. You already know that we don’t need anymore Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Warren Kanders, Richard Bransons, or Mark Zuckerbergs.

We’re on the same page about the fact that we’re living through transformational times and that we all have a unique role to play when it comes to impacting the future for future generations.

Systemic and social barriers are very real, and they deeply impact our lives and opportunities. However, part of the healing process is recognizing your own agency within these systems. By allowing yourself to heal, take risks, and pursue your purpose, you begin to reclaim the parts of yourself that oppressive systems have diminished. Without this self-permission, you may continue feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t aligned with who you’re meant to be.

There are some “industry leaders” out there who harp on “abundance” and “manifesting” without any regard for intergenerational, systemic, or interpersonal trauma, without any analysis of their position and identities in an imperialist, white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist society as bell hooks called it (may she rest in power).

The world has conditioned those of us with marginalized identities to shrink, doubt our dreams, and silence our needs—especially around money. We’re gaslit into believing, “I’m not the one who can create this,” or, “I don’t deserve financial security.” When it comes to that burning desire of purpose inside us we temper it with excuses like: “No, not me.” “I’m not the one.” “I can’t bring that to life.”

Or there’s a small, insidious voice inside that whispers, “That’s too fantastic and unrealistic. You could never do that because x, y, z.”

This internalized doubt ties directly to money trauma, where shame and scarcity block us from stepping into our truth and power. Healing your relationship with money is the key to reclaiming your self-worth and building a business aligned with your values.

“I've learned how to put myself out there, bring forward my authentic self, and be confident in speaking my truth, which I look up to Erin in the way she is able to do that in her work.”

— Paula Flinn, Movement and Breathwork Coach

You are ready to build a conscious business if:

  • You value people over profit

  • You have no time for talk about abundance and manifestation unless it’s trauma-informed, and rooted in social and racial justice

  • You want to show up fully as your most authentic self without censoring or watering down your message

  • You’ve been feeling held back and stuck by feelings of uncertainty, doubt, and fear that you can’t be anti-capitalist and an entrepreneur with a successful business (hint: you can)

  • Deep down you know you have a divine purpose to serve and you’re meant for something bigger

  • You’re absolutely done lining the pockets of shitty bosses and cis, white dudes who could care less about your holistic well-being

  • You are deeply committed to an anti-oppressive approach to life and business and you want to collaborate with fellow raging, feminist killjoys in order to build a brand, business, and/or platform that doesn’t compromise your values

  • You are burning for a life that feels intuitively good!

“I got so much out of working with Erin. For me, I just really like to talk things out, so being able to do that with someone else is really helpful, particularly because I don’t have anyone else to talk to about it, really. It seemed like the 3 months went by so fast! I felt cared about, and I was able to share what was going on with me openly...You know, you want to be able to feel okay about crying, or sharing stuff that you know you need to talk about...So, Erin created a really intimate and safe space for me to be able to open up.”
— Paula Flinn, Movement and Breathwork Coach
