Let’s make sense of all those thoughts and ideas swirling around inside you.

 
EricaMidkiff-238.jpg

You’ve tried and tried to bring your ideas into form.

But that pile of scribbled notes (complete with highlights and underlines and exclamation points and lists) remains as daunting as ever.

You know there’s something there, but every time you try to bring it all together, it all seems so elusive, slippery.

Any clarity that does emerge feels tenuous at best.

Doubt grows as your frustration does.

And you begin to wonder…Is there really something there?

 

There really are inherent patterns and connections among all your ideas. And I’m here to mirror them back to you. Here’s how.

I believe in your inherent wisdom.

The ideas are already inside of you. My role is to help you see them more clearly, so that others can see them more clearly as well. I have an unwavering belief that there is a deep well of beautiful wisdom inside you (and all of us), and it’s an honor to help bring it into the world.


I have perspective.

I don’t have all your doubts, fears, and stories swirling around inside of me. So as I work with your ideas, I can show up from a place of pure curiosity and possibility. I follow all the paths, examine all the angles and layers, and listen for the form your inherent wisdom wants to take. Then I present everything you shared with me back to you in a way that feels clear, accessible, and like a deep sigh of relief.


I ask questions and really listen to the answers.

Often when I get to the end of a call with a client, they’ll say something like, “I’ve never talked that much before about my work / ideas / beliefs.” Sometimes they say, “No one’s ever listened to me that deeply before.” I’m here to give you space to really open up and let it all out. Being seen, heard, and understood can make such a difference.


I naturally see inherent patterns and connections.

When people start talking about their ideas and dreams, my mind immediately starts working, weaving them into a complex web of understanding. Threads start reaching out from one idea to others, connecting them and forming relationships with other threads and ideas. If I stay with that person and the information long enough, I can share the web with them, illuminating the patterns that already exist in a new-to-them way. And once we have a shared understanding of this web, I can continue to help that person deepen into their web, while also sharing it with the world.


I’m good with words.

I’m a writer, but I’m also trained as (and have a lot of experience in) copy editing. I have a sense for the flow and pacing of ideas, and I use that to pull all you’ve said into something that feels like what you’ve been trying to say all along.


And I use my intuition.

I’ve learned that my intuition is a big part of my work. I can feel how things fit together and feel when they may not quite be right, both in ways I can’t quite explain—but that I trust completely.

I also trust your intuition, your knowing about whether something is right or not. So part of this work is about supported surrender: trusting that we will arrive at what is meant for you together, and knowing I’ll support you along the way.

 
 
Gasp! This is so beautiful, life-giving, loving, honoring of me and my vision.

You pulled together every nuance, phrase, and wish I sent to you—no one has ever listened that closely to me before. You’ve helped me understand myself and name my work.

It was just what I needed, and I feel such heartfelt appreciation.

 We can work with many kinds of ideas together. Here are some examples to get your imagination working, but what’s on your mind is most important to me.

 

A SPECIFIC IDEA

Either you know what you want to create (like a book, an offering, a collaboration, a new set of client tools)…

…or you know that there’s an idea (a process, a belief, a deep knowing) that needs to be given form.

AN INKLING OR NUDGE, OR SCATTERED (FEELING) THOUGHTS

There’s a feeling, a longing, a wish, a jumble of thoughts that won’t leave you alone.

You very much want to engage with it these ideas, give them the time and attention they deserve.

THE HEART OF A BUSINESS

Perhaps you want to deepen into, shift, better understand, or more clearly explain the business you already own.

Or perhaps you’re starting a new business, and you crave clarity from the start.

 
 

We can work on things like…

  • Business foundations (core message and beliefs, mission and vision, philosophy, explaining what you do, and so on)


  • Offerings (products, services, groups, email series, podcasts, classes, workshops—structuring, explaining, naming, and more)

  • Books (nonfiction, like memoir or business or essays)

  • Websites (creating, updating)

  • Client support (educating them before you begin working together, resources they can use beyond the work you do together, supportive practices for during the experience of working with you, and more)

  • Other things you’ve dreamed up that I haven’t thought of yet!

Note that you don’t have to know exactly what you want to work on.
These are just examples! We can figure it out together.

One of the most beautiful parts of this work is knowing someone finally sees you. And, even more important, you finally see you. Here’s how.

 

INHERENT WISDOM INTENSIVE
We’ll deep dive into your thoughts and ideas
and emerge with sparkling clarity and a new sense of possibilty.

 

 
EricaMidkiff-31.jpg

An Inherent Wisdom Intensive includes:

  • Questions to reflect on (you can share your answers if you like)


  • A 2-hour call where you share all that’s on your mind (you’ll get space to really open up)


  • A review of written material that feel relevant to you—think notes you’ve made (typed, scribbled, and drawn are all welcome!), your website, social media posts and emails (so often there’s deep wisdom here that you’ve forgotten about or not seen as such), and thoughts that emerge after our call—up to 20,000 words

  • A thorough, completely custom Reflection Document and companion video that reflect back your wisdom and ideas to you (I sit with all you shared and bring it into form, and will also include any ideas, questions for reflection, and resources that feel relevant)


  • A 1-hour call to review your Reflection Document, finalize any details that feel open or not quite there yet, discuss what you might do with your newfound clarity, and wrap up our work
 together


This transformative work costs $2,500.

Two notes: First, I offer monthly—or other—payment plans. We’ll work together to make this work for you!

Second, this offering is flexible, and is designed to meet you where you are. If you feel you’ll need more (or less) call time or have more (or fewer) notes to send over, let me know. Those factors will obviously change how much time and energy goes into the project, so we’ll customize this to work for you!

 INHERENT WISDOM IMMERSION
You’ll get space to stretch out in during this layered process.
Deep clarity and fresh possibility will emerge over time!

 

 

An Inherent Wisdom Immersion includes:

  • Questions to reflect on (you can share your answers if you like)


  • Three 2-hour calls where you share all that’s on your mind (you’ll get space to really open up, and we’ll spread these out so new clarity and thoughts can emerge between calls)


  • A review of written material that feel relevant to you—think notes you’ve made (typed, scribbled, and drawn are all welcome!), your website, social media posts and emails (so often there’s deep wisdom here that you’ve forgotten about or not seen as such), and thoughts that emerge after our calls—up to 50,000 words

  • A thorough, completely custom Reflection Document and companion video that reflect back your wisdom and ideas to you (I sit with all you shared and bring it into form, and will also include any ideas, questions for reflection, and resources that feel relevant)


  • Your Reflection Document will take shape as we work together, and so you’ll receive multiple iterations of it—one after each call

  • A 1-hour call to review your Reflection Document, finalize any details that feel open or not quite there yet, discuss what you might do with your newfound clarity, and wrap up our work
 together


This transformative work costs $6,000.

Two notes: First, I offer monthly—or other—payment plans. We’ll work together to make this work for you!

Second, this offering is flexible, and is designed to meet you where you are. If we get into this and find we’re complete after two calls, or need to keep going after three, also great. Those factors will obviously change how much time and energy goes into the project, so we’ll customize this to work for you and stay in touch about how things are going as the work unfolds. Those factors will obviously change how much time and energy goes into the project, so we’ll customize this to work for you!

We’ll get right to where you need help the most, so you can gain clarity and keep moving.

COLLABORATIVE CREATION
We can work together to bring your idea to life.

 

 
AustinTX-32.jpg

We’ll each bring our talents to the table to get your ideas out of your head and into the world!


Collaborative Creation is a custom, intentionally flexible process.

So we’ll work together to figure out what you need. It will definitely include:

  • At least one meeting where we discuss your idea so we’re starting from the same point

  • Checking in along the way to see where you are, what feels exciting / daunting, and where you might need support


I can help with things like:

  • Brainstorming, dreaming, planning, outlining, mapping, seeing how the pieces fit together

  • Pulling together existing materials into something new or more cohesive

  • Reviewing, writing, editing (I’m trained as a copy editor and have years of experience)

  • And more!


Consider this option if:

  • You know you want to work on a specific project and you already know you’ll want a flexible partner to help you bring it to life beyond the finding-clarity stage

  • You love some parts of the creation process, but not all of them

  • You know you’ll show up more fully if someone is supporting you

  • You feel the excitement of starting, but know there will be places you get stuck


This collaborative work is priced by project.
I’d say the minimum would probably be $2,000, but I’m open to hearing your ideas and needs!
(Note: I offer monthly payment plans. We’ll work together to make this work for you!)

 

After we’ve worked together, you’ll have the option for Ongoing Support.

 
 

When I work with someone for the first time, I go deep. That means that by the time we’re done with our first engagement, I’ll have a solid connection with you and your business / project / idea / dream.

Once we’ve gotten to that point, I can be a great resource. Changing your Instagram bio and want someone to take a look? Considering a new offering but not sure how it fits in with the bigger picture? Updating your website and feeling a little stuck? Want to see if a new passion fits in with your business and needing some perspective? Considering take your work in a new direction and wish you had someone to talk to? Wrote something and you know it’s not quite right, but you’re not sure why? I’m here for the small things and the big projects.

This is one of my very favorite ways to work with clients. I’m working on more details to share on the website, but for now if you have questions about how Ongoing Support looks, please reach out. I’d love to share more. <3

 
 
I feel like Erica reached into my mind and pulled out the heart and soul of my brand and the work that I do with my clients.

And my experience working with her was absolutely amazing. Erica is soulful and very, very articulate and has this way of making you feel like you’ve been best friends for years, so it was easy for me to open up to her and let all of my thoughts go out to her.”
