💬 What People Are Saying
Heritage Workshop
Emily is an incredible educator and collaborator. I went into one of her business growth webinars completely blind, and I came away feeling inspired and confident. She has lots of options for both individual guidance and multi-person classes, and her pricing strategy seems very accessible. I’ve already signed up for another round of webinars, and I can’t wait to learn more.
Sara Sheffels
Never thought a business coach would tell me that my business does NOT need to grow forever and does NOT need to have a social media presence! I attended her workshop Intentional Growth: Crafting a Values-Based Business. The workshop was fun, super informative, and perhaps most importantly, super validating that it is possible and important to be making anti-capitalist choices when starting a business. Emily focused on how our businesses can best serve our communities, and on making choices that make business ownership fun, joyful, and sustainable for us as people.
Lori Lisai
The Liberatory Finance series will give you what you need to get set up as a legit small business owner. Budgets, expenses, and figuring out how to pay yourself are important components of a successful business and Emily walks you through with compassion and transparency. Highly recommend!

Hey, I’m Emily Eley—an anti-capitalist business coach, activist & organizer, parent, and firm believer that business can be a tool for liberation, not exploitation. I help small business owners build values-aligned businesses that center care, community, and sustainability—not hustle, urgency, or endless growth.
If you ever find yourself wanting deeper support—whether you're overwhelmed, in transition, or just craving thoughtful partnership—my 1:1 coaching might be a good fit. I offer financial aid because I believe this work should be accessible, and I’m proud to be a VSAC-approved non-degree course provider here in Vermont.
No pressure, no funnels, just honest support when you’re ready.
