This week on The Found Podcast, I'm joined by brand photographer, mother of four, and longtime friend Erin Moore for a deeply honest conversation about courage, community, and what it really takes to rebuild your life and business again and again.

👉 Real talk: The audio quality in this conversation isn't perfect. But Erin's courage, perspective, and heart made this episode one we couldn't keep on the shelf. I hope you'll stay with us through the tech hiccups — her story matters.

Erin shares her experience of moving across states multiple times, relaunching her photography business in new places, and learning how to create connection and consistency even when everything around her feels unfamiliar. We talk about the power of women's communities, the leadership it takes to "go first," and how small intentional actions can create momentum during seasons of uncertainty.

Erin also opens up about her journey from Canada to becoming a U.S. citizen in 2024 — offering a personal, first-hand perspective on the complexity, cost, privilege, and emotional weight of the immigration process. Her reflections invite us to consider empathy, access, and what it means to build a future for your family in a new place.

This episode is a reminder that growth rarely happens in perfectly timed moments. Instead, it comes from choosing courage in small ways, showing up consistently, and trusting that even the scary steps can lead you exactly where you're meant to go.
