Helping High Profile Executives, Entrepreneurs Master Healing, Fulfillment, and Self Discovery

A Gartner survey revealed that 50% of business leaders lack
confidence in their leadership abilities, indicating a significant prevalence
of limiting beliefs among executives. Additionally, a global study of 2,200
emerging leaders conducted by Margot Faraci found that 23% of UK leaders lead
with fear. These fear-based leaders perceive themselves as confident,
ambitious, and intuitive, using fear as a motivational tool and believing that
pressure can drive performance.

 

For Matt Gerlach: In 2010, I moved to New York City and

began my career in the rapidly growing high-end baby products sector. I worked
for three major global brands that surpassed $100 million in revenue, and I
eventually founded a consulting firm that, within three years, generated an
annual income of $500,000, which soon grew to $1 million. I was helping small
brands achieve remarkable success, but this relentless pursuit was taking a
toll on my health.

 

At the age of 34, I started experiencing wake-up calls—my

blood pressure skyrocketed, I turned to alcohol and marijuana to cope, and I
suffered from debilitating panic attacks that prevented me from driving. I kept
pushing myself, traveling by airplane every week, convinced that if I could
earn just an additional $100,000, I would finally be able to rest and recover.
Yet, I felt an ever-present fear of suffering a heart attack.

 

After two hospital visits and with the pandemic offering me

a chance to slow down, I embarked on a healing journey that led me to confront
unacknowledged childhood trauma. Over the past few years, I have found balance
in my life. I learned to trust my intuition and feelings, altering the
trajectory of my career while overcoming anxiety and depression. I've built a
life filled with both emotional and financial abundance and I am currently
finishing my memoir about this journey.

 

I've come to understand that while money doesn't solve all

problems, it can provide a means to heal and discover one’s true purpose in
life. Now, I help ambitious entrepreneurs learn to listen to their feelings and
intuition, set healthy boundaries, and recognize their high value, all while
creating emotionally and financially abundant lives and businesses.
