From Surviving to Thriving: How to Stay Connected to Your Growth in Life’s Darkest Seasons

In this deeply personal solo episode, Erin speaks directly to moms who may be walking through a season where it feels like you’re just getting by. She opens up about a time in her life when she was in true survival mode—navigating a divorce, financial struggles, and breaking free from unhealthy patterns—while raising her two young kids.

Through that dark season, Erin discovered powerful rituals, tools, and mindsets that didn’t just keep her afloat… they helped her grow into the next version of herself. She shares the exact strategies she used—nature walks, deep self-conversations, journaling, meditation, visualization, and filling her mind with empowering books and podcasts—and how they became the foundation of the Extraordinary Purpose Coaching Course.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in your hardest moments, you can weave personal growth into your days, model resilience for your kids, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the life you’re meant to live.
