Set Down Self-Doubt & Let Your Inner Knowing Guide

a 6-week course WITH ERIN MERRIHEW

Whether you realize it or not, you are your best guide.

There are signals and clues all around you, gently nudging you toward your most authentic, inspiring, and meaningful life.

Your inner knowing is constantly communicating with you, pointing you in the right direction.

The only problem?

A lot of the time, we’re not listening—and often we don’t even realize it.

Most of us have been trained to deprioritize our inner knowing.

We’ve learned to follow the recommendations of those who ‘know more’ than we do, to look outside ourselves for the ‘right way’ to live our lives, and to always make the ‘smart, sensible’ choice.

We’ve learned to disregard our feelings (especially if they seem irrational), and to abandon our intuition in favor of logic and practicality.

We’ve learned to value approval over authenticity, and being liked over being who we truly are.

But let me guess: all too often, this leaves you coming up short.

You may be checking the boxes and hitting the milestones, but something feels off…

• You feel anxious and self-critical more often than you’d like to admit

• Others see you as successful and generally happy, but you feel restless and unfulfilled

• You have a comfortable routine but find yourself wondering, “Isn’t there more to life?”

• You struggle to find the depth and meaning you crave

• You’re good at taking care of what others want and need but feel less familiar with your wants and needs

• You tend to second-guess yourself, especially when others have a strong opinion that conflicts with yours

• Just below the surface, you feel that you’re inadequate and somehow less than

• You tend to fixate on how you’re perceived and use this to gauge how you feel about yourself

• ‘Shoulds’ hold a lot of weight in your thinking (how you ‘should’ feel, what you ‘should’ do, how things ‘should’ go)

• You might sense misalignment in some area of your life, but you tend to talk yourself out of addressing it

• You tend to feel responsible for ‘fixing’ other people’s discomfort, and have trouble setting boundaries

• You’re quick to write off your desires and dreams as impractical or far-fetched

• You rarely plan things that are purely for your pleasure and well-being, and you tend to feel guilty/selfish/indulgent if you do

• You find yourself settling for feeling “fine” in life instead of advocating for what would help you feel amazing

Deep down, you’re yearning for something more—and your inner knowing is the light that will guide your way there.

When we learn to get in touch with and honor our inner knowing, the landscape of our lives changes.

Self-doubt fades, overthinking falls away, and grounded clarity comes into view.

What we ‘should’ do starts to feel irrelevant, and what we feel genuinely inspired to do becomes central.

Relationships and dynamics that no longer serve us phase out, and experiences full of depth and meaning filter in.

We start creating space for our own feelings, needs, and desires—and in doing so, we feel more nourished and energized.

We feel less stuck and weighed down, and we start naturally accessing more ease, lightheartedness, curiosity, and passion.

We’re kinder to ourselves, more embracing of change, and more trusting of life.

Our inner knowing can’t protect us from pain, loss, heartbreak, or any other part of the human condition, but it can illuminate a path that makes all the hard stuff feel worthwhile.

It can help us fill our hearts and lives with what matters most to us: what lights us up from the inside.

Let’s work together to help you unleash your inner knowing and watch the magic unfold.

The Structure

Lit From Within is designed for personal transformation in a supportive and inclusive virtual community setting. The course consists of 9 sessions across 2 months: 6 learning sessions (2 hours each) and 3 coaching calls (90 minutes each).

Learning Sessions are where Erin covers the curriculum (see the journey outlined below). In these sessions we review the digital educational materials together, do partner activities in breakout rooms, see the tools applied in real-time with coaching demos, and go deeper with the content through engaging group discussions and personal shares.

Coaching Calls are experiential and organic opportunities for support. They are a space for participants to receive ‘hot seat’ coaching from Erin, and witness and support one another’s growth. Erin’s intuitive coaching gets to the heart of the matter quickly, and catalyzes breakthroughs that empower not only the person being coached, but everyone present.

Everything takes place live on Zoom, and participants get lifetime access to replays of all sessions!

It’s not mandatory to attend every session, but due to the participatory nature of the course, you’ll get the most value by joining live.

Course Schedule will be announced late summer 2024.
