COACH & CONSULTANT
Hi! I’m a business consultant and certified Trauma & Resilience Life Coach (TRLC). I help my clients dismantle the undue influence of their trauma in life, career, and business—and we have fun doing it!
My specialty is assisting folks with adverse experiences from high-control or coercive organizations and relationships. This includes, but is certainly not limited to: cults, gurus, abusive bosses, religions, domestic violence, labor trafficking, multilevel marketing, combat PTSD, military sexual trauma, authoritative parenting, and childhood trauma.
I have two business degrees: BBA & MBA. My graduate studies focused on marketing psychology, consumer behavior, and the power of (cult) influence. I have a wide range of other certifications and credentials too.
Let's chat & tailor your next steps to match your unique story & business.
I loved this Client Calculator and especially our 1-on-1! It was all so encouraging. You supported my personal history and unconventional entrepreneurial visions with practical business know-how and authentic affirmation. Plus, I ended my session not feeling alone or strange for *not* wanting to be a millionaire. The whole experience was validating and totally affirmed my desire to do things differently than the rest of the business world. You are dope, and more people need to encounter a trauma-informed business consultant like you! I look forward to working with you in the future!
“Being in the music/entrepreneurial space myself, it’s sometimes easy to have reservations with coaching sessions. But to sit down with Emily, there’s no need. She has a focused yet graceful way of getting straight to the point, fluff not included. Offering value catered exclusively to me and my personal needs, we deciphered my mission, constructed a plan, and found actionable baby-steps for me to take - all within an hour session. Emily Ann Peterson is the real deal.”
“Once I pushed through my own resistance to holding on to my precious website copy, I realized the benefit of Emily Ann’s advice for brevity and power-packed content. I was able to quickly adopt and adapt her advice and I love the results! Emily’s style is friendly, warm, personal, and supportive. She’s “been there, done that” and revels along the way.”
“In just one session, Emily Ann gave me a different perspective on how to view my ideal customer, new ideas about how to approach my people, and presented marketing in a very real, genuine way.”
“Emily Ann is a breath of fresh air and is always full of new ideas. She helped me tremendously when it comes to presenting my message in a very clear and concise way that my audience will understand, in a way that they like and they want to come back. I know that my brand would not be consistent throughout all the areas of my business if it was not for Emily Ann’s unique eye. I am grateful for her talents and of course our time together.”
“Working with Emily Ann was pleasant and fun! Over three months, I gained more clarity in who my ideal client is. What I liked most about our private coaching calls was the questions Emily Ann asked. They helped me get more clear of the direction I'm going.”
“Emily Ann Peterson is professional and efficient. Our end result was spot-on for what I needed. We created and installed the copy for my Patreon page, which needed an overhaul. The donation level titles and explanations were creative and upbeat. They balanced my facts with the need for compassion and her call to action *worked!*
It would’ve taken me forever to conceive, format, and input data to my new Patreon page. Even in that case, it still would’ve fallen far short of Emily Ann’s high caliber of work. I am 100% satisfied.”
“Emily Ann is a straight-talker with a smile. I love this. This makes me get to the heart of the matter so much more quickly, whether it’s honing in on the goals of a project or trying hard to see something through to the end. If I need a hand zeroing in on a goal or needing a plan as to how to break down a project into manageable action items, I call Emily Ann.”
“Sometimes we need help to pull away the covering of fear and find the courage to be brave. Sometimes that help is a person: Emily Ann Peterson can be that one. Bravery begins one step at a time. As it’s given the soil of courage and understanding, bravery blooms inside us and becomes large enough to walk under. I needed help to do that, and if you do too, this is the place to start. Bravery can be learned.”
“Emily Ann Peterson is a rare combination of inspiration and practical execution. Not your typical consultant or coach, for sure! She has a gift of seeing things and figuring out systems to see them through. She encouraged me to perform outreach (something I dreaded), and I’m so glad I did.”
“Emily Ann gave me a website checkup and I was so excited, inspired, and motivated that it was really a no-brainer. After working with her for several months now, doing brave things is easier now because I can recognize when I'm procrastinating, resisting, or just plain scared. ”
“Emily Ann helped me work out the kinks while my business was in its baby stages. We discussed business names, branding, pricing models, and audience strategy. She has a laser-like vision of how to help develop and market your creative works for success.”
“Working with Emily Ann exceeded my expectations and beyond. She not only improved my project tenfold, but made me excited and confident before the launch. It’s been incredibly helpful to have her expertise, support, and valuable feedback!”
