In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Grady Wallace - the full-time artist behind Rad Originals.

Grady shares what it’s really been like to build a life around his art, the pressure that comes with putting your inner world on display, and how returning to curiosity and play has helped him stay connected to his vision. 

We talk about the moments of doubt that come with any creative path, the seasons where you feel pushed into fight-or-flight, and how turning toward self-expression can help you move through those intense states with more honesty and intention.

This episode explores:
• what it takes to trust your creative voice
• the emotional side of making art
• burnout, discipline, and reconnecting with your “why”
• how intuition and self-awareness shape your work
• Grady’s new show “Fight or Flight” and the story behind it

Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, this conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt pulled toward something bigger than themselves, anyone who’s had to rebuild trust in their own ideas, or anyone who’s trying to reconnect with the part of them that just wants to make something for the sake of feeling alive.

I hope this one inspires you to show up for yourself, and your ideas.

This meditation is created for the Scorpio New Moon. A powerful moment in the lunar cycle that invites deep renewal, emotional release, and honest self-reflection. 

Scorpio energy pulls you inward. It helps you shed what’s been weighing on you, clears space for truth, and supports the kind of transformation that begins beneath the surface. This new moon is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a deeper way and plant intentions that come from clarity rather than pressure.

In this guided practice, you’ll move through a gentle body scan to settle your nervous system, followed by a full chakra balancing to realign your energy. From there, you’re guided into a Scorpio-inspired visualization where you release emotional heaviness into calm water and plant new intentions with confidence and honesty. 

This meditation supports grounding, emotional clearing, intuition, and starting fresh with purpose.

Perfect for anyone craving a reset, working through change, or wanting to connect more deeply with the energy of this new moon.

Xo, Erin

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I have to do this” all day long? Those small, familiar thoughts might be quietly draining your energy. In this episode, we’re exploring one of the simplest, yet most powerful mindset shifts you can make: shifting from “I have to” to “I get to.”

It might sound small, but this reframe can completely transform how you experience your daily life. By shifting from pressure and obligation to presence and gratitude, you begin to regulate your nervous system, rewire your brain, and reconnect to joy - even on the hard days.

You’ll learn:

 ✨ How your words shape your energy, emotions, and nervous system
 ✨ The science behind gratitude and neuroplasticity
 ✨ Practical ways to integrate this mindset shift into your daily routine
 ✨ Why living from “I get to” energy changes your relationship with yourself and your life

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to grow, heal, or show up today.. you get to.

Have you been feeling a little disconnected lately; like you’re watching your life unfold instead of fully living it? You’re not stuck or broken… you’re shifting.

In this episode, Erin talks about that strange in-between season where life feels unfamiliar, yet nothing is “wrong.” She explores why this phase often shows up during times of deep energetic, spiritual, and physical growth, and how to recognize it as a sign of transformation rather than disconnection.

You’ll learn how to reframe this “off” feeling with compassion, understand the energy shifts happening beneath the surface, and find practical ways to ground and reconnect with yourself through it all.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that the moments when life feels "off" or uncertain are often the ones where you’re aligning most deeply with your next stage of evolution and expansion. You're in the liminal space between who you were and who you are becoming.

It’s hard to believe it’s been one year since I launched Ebbs & Flows with Erin. What started with my three-part Effexor series has turned into a space for honest conversations, healing, and connection that I never could have imagined.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my podcasting journey; the lessons learned, the challenges, & the growth that comes with sharing vulnerably & authentically. This podcast has been a space for healing, connection, and real conversations about mental health and personal growth.

Whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined in, I’m so grateful for you. Here’s to another year of navigating life’s ebbs and flows together.

This summer, I slowly crashed out — and I should’ve seen it coming.

In this episode, I’m sharing my experience over the last few months: the manic energy, the anxiety symptoms, the dysregulated nervous system, & all the whispers from my body that I ignored… until it finally forced me to stop.

We’re talking about why nervous system tools like meditation and breathwork are powerful.. but not the whole solution if your life, schedule, and responsibilities are still running you into the ground.

I’ll share the small shifts I’m making to support my body, my energy, and my overall well-being as I reset!

This episode is a reminder that life will teach us lessons more than once.. and sometimes the hard way. But it’s always for our best, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
