Aerica has given me tools to help navigate hard situations and has also taught me to give myself grace.

“Simply put, I felt like I was facing the world alone and needed help on managing stress levels and approaching various life circumstances with a healthy mental perspective.
Specifically, I was dealing with issues in my marriage regarding past instances of infidelity, issues with work, and also internal self-esteem issues that made me feel worthless. The frustration my life circumstances were causing me made me feel overwhelmed, unable, and alone.
What was different about Aerica and her services is that she listens. She provides a realistic perspective for your thoughts and helps you discover the underlying thought. She is also easily relatable and truly understanding.
I realized Aerica was helping solve my problems when my reactions and responses to the issues changed. "
“I am a mid 40's wife (of 29 years); mother of 3 (2 biological, 1 special needs bonus babe); grandmother of 2; entrepreneur and mom with a demanding job.
I was a type A, perfectionist trying to keep from drowning in the sea of everyday life. Everyone's go-to person, while trying to navigate my struggles with working through forgiveness and feeling "stuck" within my marriage. So often I viewed things from my perspective or how I would handle things. I rarely took the time/opportunity to really delve into my emotions or why certain things triggered me and why at times I was truly unhappy.
I felt as though I was being swallowed up by everything and everyone. Like I was just walking through life on autopilot, being the "doer" I tend to be, everyone just taking from me and what I had to give. Always putting everyone else's wants/needs ahead of my own and then being hurt/resentful when I didn't receive the same treatment in return."
“I have always been an intense person, and trying to ignore my emotions away caused an unhealthy buildup, so they began spilling over into many areas of life. I also felt a lot of stress about things that may or may not happen, tended to take responsibility for other people's issues that were out of my control, and bogged down in a lot of over-thinking/negative self-talk. All this mind-drama was taking a lot of time and energy and sucking the joy out of life. It was also creating unnecessary friction in my relationships.
My frustration and emotional imbalance felt like quicksand. The harder I worked to will myself out, the deeper I sank into the mire, and the more tightly restricted I felt."

Without delving too deeply into the whys, Aerica offered a practical framework to evaluate the source of my frustrations and negative feelings, let go of things outside my control, and find what resonated with me, for my situation. Aerica asked insightful questions and always made sure you were guiding, providing guardrails, without pushing.
Aerica helped me find my own answers. Aerica offered perspective that allowed me to progress in a way I couldn't on my own without ever trying to impose a prepackaged idea or force any answers that didn't feel true for me. Coming to a conclusion that really resonates is critical for sustainability, and Aerica was as committed to that as I was.
When during a heated conversation or moments of irritation or emotion, I started finding myself pausing to mentally go through the modeling exercise and apply it real time, I knew this had been well worth the time and effort spent!
Life still happens, but I am now more resilient. In addition to working through the initial issues, I really appreciated the perspectives and insights on emotional eating and a framework for a healthy, sustainable food choices.
This program will provide the tools. Aerica will help you examine and adjust. This is about retraining your brain and creating more healthy, productive thought patterns. Like anything, the more you dedicate yourself to putting in the work, to being honest with yourself, and to giving yourself a little grace as you learn, the more impactful the outcome.
Aerica can't do the work for you, but she will be there to weigh in, to call out areas where you may need to fine tune, and to support your efforts. Let's face it, for real results, it takes hard work and brutal honesty with ourselves. It's nice to have a lifeline, roadmap, and a cheerleader when you're fighting through a tough spot. I would highly recommend Aerica, and I feel so grateful she was recommended to me.”

What was different about Aerica and her services is that she listens. She provides a realistic perspective for your thoughts and helps you discover the underlying thought. She is also easily relatable and truly understanding. She also cares deeply for her clients and it's reflected in how she communicates and makes time to address her clients' concerns.
I realized Aerica was helping solve my problems when my reactions and responses to the issues changed. My two favorite quotes of hers is "Does this serve you?" and "How sad is it?" Both of these phrases have helped me so much to change my thoughts from negative to positive. As she's also stated, life is 50% positive and 50% negative. I've learned to respond to the negatives without more than a simple acknowledgement that they exist and move forward.”

Aerica you provide a wealth of practical knowledge. Not only were you readily able to see the issues/problems, you gave the "technical" term or the reason for why I may be experiencing some things and how I could change the experience. You gave examples and shared your own process and how it may be applicable to me. You gave a different perspective that I never considered which caused me to begin to get more "curious" about people and my interactions with them. Being more curious has resulted in me giving more grace, listening and gaining better understanding of myself as well as those I interact with.
When you challenged me to consistently look within myself to find out what makes me happy and put words to my feelings. Not once had I ever considered myself, so why should others consider me? I had to begin to be truthful and honest with myself and forgive myself and then others.”
