In this episode of Ebbs & Flows, I’m exploring the concept of imposter syndrome, the psychology behind it & most importantly, how you can fight it and stop feeling like a fraud!

Is imposter syndrome even real?! I’m sharing my argument for why it’s not, and how this reframe can be empowering.

We’re emphasizing the importance of understanding that feelings of inadequacy do not reflect reality and offering strategies for overcoming these feelings that will help to set you FREE from diminishing your worth, value & achievements. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!

In this episode of EBBS & FLOWS, we’re exploring the science of FORGIVENESS. What is it forgiveness, really? How do you practice forgiveness? How does forgiveness impact your health & well-being? It’s not just about emotional wellness. We’re emphasizing how forgiveness plays a crucial role in emotional, physical, & mental well-being. Drawing on insights from Dr. Joe Dispenza, Erin explores the science behind forgiveness, its impact on neuroplasticity, and practical steps listeners can take to cultivate forgiveness in their lives. The conversation highlights the empowerment that comes from reclaiming your energy by releasing feelings of anger, resentment, shame & bitterness - because forgiveness (of yourself or others) sets YOU free. 

I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this episode of Ebbs and Flows, Erin discusses the critical role of fun in the healing process, particularly in overcoming anxiety, depression, and burnout. She emphasizes the importance of rediscovering joy and playfulness, which is inner child healing. We explore the science behind fun, how it activates the parasympathetic nervous system and stimulates brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which are essential for emotional well-being. 

Erin encourages listeners to create a 'dopamine menu' to find healthy ways to stimulate joy and engagement in life, while also advocating for a balanced approach to wellness that includes fun and flexibility. Healing doesn't always have to be so serious, structured & heavy!

Erin explores the significance of the new and full moons and how the moon can guide us through personal growth, healing & alignment.

We’re diving into the moon's influence on Earth and human behaviour, the difference between the energy of the new vs full moon and tools you can use to work with both! Erin is sharing practices you can use for your new & full moon rituals - but emphasizes that there is no “perfect” way to work with the moon cycle - encouraging listeners to let their intuition guide them. You don’t have to do everything or know everything to benefit from working with the energy of the moon.
