This is a powerful episode about grief, addiction recovery, and motherhood. Erin is a strong example of a woman who chose to heal; to learn to love herself and lead herself. About Erin (in her own words): The beautiful life around me is not a mistake, and the miracle of my journey is in no way lost on me. From being nearly swallowed by addiction, chaos and trauma to walking a spiritual path of safety, ritual and love. I have learned to cultivate a new existence that is rooted in nurturing my body and mind, connecting with my own feminine embodiment, releasing guilt and shame and giving birth to my voice. All of this growth has led me in the direction of sharing those gifts with other women, and creating a way of merging that energy to help us stand in our power and own our stories. I’m growing this community in my business, space.s, and finding ways to continue to cultivate continued growth in my own life as a measure for the true potential of every woman to succeed. Erin and Patricia met through @innerglowcircle coach training, and are excited to be signed up for each other’s group programs this fall! Erin’s program, Renaissance Woman (co-led by @amandabethflynn), starts October 3rd. Patricia’s program, Your Next Chapter, starts Sept 21st.
