Powered by RedCircle


On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.  

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.  

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

A little bit about Eric:

Eric spent the first half of his life doing what he thought he had to do.  Putting his nose down and enduring the grind.  But it was never quite enough.  Through experiences with triathlon, mountain climbing, owning a dental practice with a team of 20, becoming a pilot, and extensive travel, he learned that what he was searching for wasn’t at the top of the mountain.

In the second half of his life, he is committed to helping people learn to live present in their own lives and find a life of fulfillment, not just accomplishment.  Through his coaching, speaking, and writing, he is working to help as many people as possible learn to #WINtheNOW.


Eric, his wife Amy and their two kids proudly live in a small town in Iowa.
