Get ready to reclaim your truth and power and manifest your most aligned life and business.

Let me ask you...

Have been yearning to create a life and business that aligns with your values, but you're burnt out from grinding, and not sure how to embrace abundance and manifestation without bypassing systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma?

Burn-out can often be traced back to trauma.

Are you addicted to productivity like I was? In 2015, when I started Terra Incognita Media, a media platform that provides a feminist response to the outdoor industry, I woke up at 5am almost every morning and squeezed every free minute of my day to be "productive."

This translated to my climbing practice. I was always seeking the next project. Not for joy. But to prove my worth. I was also nannying while building Terra, and soon found it extremely difficult to have any kind of social life. I fell into a depression and experienced a heinous acne breakout. I knew I needed a change.  Does this resonate with you?

Whether you're beyond ready to leave your 9-5, or you're burnt out and stuck when it comes to manifesting your big vision, maybe you've thought to yourself:

I have a feeling that I’m meant for something bigger, yet self-sabotage is getting in my way and I have no clue how to break these patterns.”

"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 most deeply desire." 

"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’m not cut out for entrepreneurship. I have zero experience in business.”

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

“I don’t believe I can do fulfilling work and get paid abundantly."

You know it's wrong when...

...you've spent hours on your computer googling tips, tricks, strategies and you still feel lost. The free webinars about manifestation that you've signed up for feel vapid and superficial leaving you more overwhelmed than you were before you handed over your email address. You’re sick of spending hours on Youtube and you’re over the vague tutorials. You’re done trying to figure it all out on your own.

It's time to innovate your inner and outer life.

Deep down you know that this is a healing journey that will require you to make some powerful shifts mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This simultaneously scares the fuck out of you and makes you want to squeeze your couch pillow with excitement.
You know you're capable and more ready than ever to shift into your truth and power, and finally bring your creative vision to life. But you also know that you need to find the right mentor, space, and community 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 taking responsibility for the direction of your life and heal unhelpful patterns that keep you in a draining cycle of avoidance and self-abandonment. 

"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...

You can build a life and business that fuels and feeds your soul while getting paid abundantly...

You have unique, talents, skills, and gifts that the world is ready to receive and you can move confidently towards your big, dreamy vision...

It's completely in your power to create a profitable business rooted in consent, not exploitation...

You're more than capable of rewiring your subconscious beliefs and narratives that stem from oppressive systems, so you can cultivate emotional and financial well-being...

You can access the community of like-minded peers you've been yearning for while being guided, encouraged, and held accountable in a nourishing container facilitated by a trauma-informed, anti-girlboss, feminist killjoy (hi, hello, it's me!) who's been where you are...

Despite the fears and doubts, you are already moving towards your dreams and vision for your business. You just need to say yes to believing in your inherent skills and gifts.

If this sounds like a big FUCK YES...

Then I'm beyond excited to introduce to you Vesta Business School!

Give yourself permission to finally tap into your creative potency and build the life and business of your dreams, all while creating the financial and emotional well-being that you deeply crave.

Taught and facilitated by Erin Monahan, Vesta Business School is a 12 week hybrid (meaning group and 1:1 support) coaching program 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 through their creative work and business.

Through a trauma-informed approach, Erin will teach you how to re-program your brain and release unhelpful narratives and patterns, so you can finally show up confident and energized to actualize the work and creative projects you were born to make manifest in the world.

This program offers an intimate container for a totally immersive experience, which means participants will be a part of a supportive cohort of fellow, like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs. Basically, get ready to receive real support BEYOND the highlight reel of Instagram. This is a robust opportunity to develop lasting friendships, as well as work with Erin through 6 live calls, and 3 1:1 private coaching sessions!

"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

What's Waiting for You Inside Vesta Business School:

Live Group Calls and Classes

Connecting with community and getting your questions answered in real-time means you'll feel supported and held every step of the way.

Bring Your Whole Self

This is a space where you'll be guided and encouraged to shift into the whole of who you are. Systems of oppression make us feel like we need to play small in order to stay safe, but now is the time to break the cycle and allow yourself to fully move into who you're meant to be.

Not Your Average Business School

This program combines trauma-informed methods, astrology, attachment theory, conscious business practices, and more! You'll be guided in taking a compassionate look at your psychological trauma, so that you can create financial security and emotional well-being as well.

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, natural rhythms and systems that are inherent to you, so that you and your business and creative projects 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 the clutter and reclaiming your truth and power, so you can be your fully expressed self in every area of your work and life. When you enroll in VBS, get ready to create a life and business rooted in abundance without compromising your integrity or anti-capitalist values.

Dive in and get anchored in Vesta's robust and comprehensive curriculum.

Immediately upon enrollment you'll gain access to Vesta Business School's Resource Library complete with NINE training modules with everything from trauma-informed manifestation to imposter syndrome to authentic leadership to conscious selling and marketing, and so much more! This is for those eager students  with Virgo placements who want to get a head start before the first class even begins!

Love learning, but detest the typical grind culture of academia?

You're a whole human with a whole-ass life. That's why as a BONUS you'll receive LIFETIME ACCESS to Vesta Business School materials. VBS honors your pace. We're here to support you wherever you are on your journey and the cadence and rhythm of learning that best supports your inner and outer expansion.

No Spiritual bypassing zone:Trauma-Informed Approach to Money, Abundance, and Manifestation

Being a creative and/or entrepreneur means that you will inevitably be handling money. Feelings of ickiness and questioning our inherent worth can bubble up to the surface because our relationship with money is tied to systemic, societal, intergenerational, and personal trauma. Unfortunately, if you feel gross about money, you're going to have a hard time making more of it.

Vesta Business School utilizes the Trauma of Money Method, which means you'll be guided to create financial safety and wellbeing through a compassionate process of healing your trauma. TOM is a unique financial literacy approach 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. 

In this sacred container, you'll learn how your nervous system plays a role in your relationship with money matters, how to work towards healing your money story, as well as brainstorm and ponder helpful worksheets, so you can make money decisions that are aligned, attuned, and rooted in security.

Highlights of Vesta

Stay True to Your Anti-Capitalist Values

To be real, it's impossible to be truly anti-capitalist in a capitalist society. But that doesn't mean you have to compromise your anti-capitalist values to build a life that's rooted in your integrity. In this supportive container we'll uncover how you can manifest your creative vision and build your sustainable business in a way that serves you AND your community.

Group PLUS 1:1 Mentorship!

I totally understand wanting to hide out, the fear of being seen, and yet also feeling the burning desire to speak your truth and get your message and work out there. Together, with your loving cohort, and me (Erin!) as your facilitator, we'll cultivate your online and offline presence so that it resonates with those who you are meant to work with. This way, you can stop hiding and start getting paid for your incredible and inherent skills, talents, and gifts!

Lifetime Access

You'll have lifetime access to our recorded calls and trainings. This way if you have to miss a class you can catch the replay when it's most convenient for you! Upon enrollment, you'll also receive instant access to the Vesta Business School Resource Library complete with 9 training modules on everything from trauma-informed manifestation to business strategy!

Through healing and taking aligned action you'll leave VBS with a renewed sense of authority and agency as an authentic leader in your life and business!

Vesta Business School 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 shift into this new, expansive identity and build your aligned business.

Jaume Roca-Piza's Experience:

"Before working with Erin I was pretty confused in regards to many areas of my life: my emotional life, my relationship with my partner, friendships, traumas that I haven't been dealing with and were unresolved, with my work...I was stressed, confused, and with my projects I didn't know what to do. I was blocked and stuck.

I had no concerns before choosing to work with Erin because I had been reading her work and following her for years. Seeing her work with Terra Incognita Media, reading her posts, and seeing her on social media, I really wanted to work with her! I had zero doubts that this would be a good process for me that would help me clarify my mind and ideas.

Erin is a resource on love, business, daily life, routine, boundaries, astrology, and we touched on every aspect of life: emotionally, spiritually, politically, psychologically, dealing with trauma, inner child work, and in regards to business."

A Transformative Experience Awaits...

Imagine waking up, making coffee (or tea if that's your jam!), and dancing in your kitchen knowing you have a schedule that you get to create that completely aligns with your needs, wants, and desires. Imagine working with people that light you up and inspire you. Imagine connecting with a cohort of like-minded peers who want to see you shine and succeed! Imagine leaving your toxic boss and workplace for good. Imagine getting paid for work that is the essence of your soul's expression.

Andia Katz's Experience

"The Trauma-informed money mindset is seriously the most amazing thing in existence for me right now. THANK YOU for creating this important content! I sent you a voice note on IG with some of my thoughts as soon as I finished. This is everything I have been searching for. I have done so much research on this topic, yet I have not seen anyone do it from this perspective, so thank you! If you decide to release it to the world I will tell everyone about it because this is essential information that people need to be hearing, thinking about, and discussing!"

Paula Flinn's Experience

"I got so much out of Erin’s group coaching program. 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. I also really liked to hear how other people are going through similar things, and having that sense of connection.

It seemed like the 3 months went by so fast, and I appreciated the small, intimate group. I felt cared about. I was able to share what was going on with me openly because we were in a small group. You know, you want to be able to feel okay about crying, or sharing stuff that you know you need to talk about, but if you’re in a big group of people you might not feel comfortable. So, Erin created a really intimate and safe space for me to be able to open up."

Hey, I'm Erin!

I'm a trauma-informed, tarot and astrology-obsessed, mindset + business coach, certified Trauma of Money facilitator, writer, and speaker.

I became an accidental entrepreneur through starting Terra Incognita Media. I built Vesta Business School because it’s exactly what I needed at the start of my journey.

Ready to heal your relationship with yourself, money, and business? I got you covered and can’t wait to support you!

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!


Are you ready to finally stop the cycle of shame, put societal scripts to rest, and allow yourself to cultivate a life and business that centers ease, sustainability, and integrity?

Paula Flinn on Emboyding Her Authentic Self

"I feel more confident now in what I need to do and what I want to do whereas before I was stuck and uncertain. There’s more clarity. There’s just more clarity now of being able to take action, and also just confidence! I don’t think you can underestimate knowing that someone’s in your corner. Clarity and confidence are two biggest outcomes for me in this program.

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.

I would recommend Erin as a coach because I believe in her, I respect her and what she stands for, and she is nurturing, encouraging, and she genuinely cares, so I felt looked after. It was really important to me to work with someone who I didn’t have any hesitations or reservations about. I felt 100% good and aligned about signing up for coaching with Erin. I would definitely encourage others to work with her!"

Corinna Rosella of Rise Up! Goodwitch:

"Erin is a business coach who honors clients with feminist and anti-capitalist values, and imbues in her coaching sessions her own lived experience as a small business owner. She is a great listener and will advocate for you advocating for yourself. She holds no illusions about capitalism as a oppressive and unreasonable system, and how it affects those of us with radical values while trying to work for ourselves. If you need help getting your business off the ground, or someone to assist you in reassessing your work so far, Erin is a great coach full of resources to help guide you. "
