This Southern Illinois transplant found her talents wasted as an accountant wanting a lucrative career. She turned her focus on education and coaching in order to empower tweens and teens (and their parents) who made need a lesson in confidence and realizing their self-worth.

 Listen as this author, coach, speaker and unapologetically authentic lipsticked, top-knotted mom, leaves us with these little pearls of wisdom each day on social media and all throughout this podcast. Erin created the backbone of her principles from the acronym: FIERCE. “Feel gratitude.” “I am statements (affirmations).” “Exercise (not just physical).” “Read (a quote each day).” “Create.” “Encourage.” By following Erin’s processes, you’ll be living a fiercer life. Erin schools me on: using a contract before allowing social media and a phone, overscheduling, establishing your family’s core values, mental health in your kids after the pandemic, talking about S-E-X, fighting back vs. walking away, car conversations, focusing on the difficulty of transitions, teaching the importance of listening to our bodies and finding a balance in the middle of pendulum parenting. Get ready to parent with a more purpose after this pod. Put her pearls into practice, and your life may get a whole lot easier!
