About Erin Keam

Erin Keam is a Kiwi living in Seattle who works with women solopreneurs to create their ideal life and achieve their vision. She combines her 23 years’ experience mentoring and being mentored in the recovery field with her career in marketing, film, media, TV, advertising, real estate and customer service (and a passion for fashion) to be a trusted source for solutions to what is getting between you and the life you want.

She offers two paths to progress. One is her unique LifeStyle Statement sessions, in which women uncover their personal themes which are distilled into a one-of-a-kind Statement which can then be taken to every area of their life from wardrobe to relationships to their business to their career and their home.

The other are her “pressure relief” mini-intensives where the focus is on moving closer to your vision through exploring and tackling personal and marketing issues which are keeping you stuck, whether clarifying your website’s message to your clients, looking at how you spend your time and money, decluttering (mental and physical), dressing as who you want to be, assessing the first impression your media and home office make on your ideal clients and creating action plans to get you the life you want.

When she’s not doing this, she’s interviewing women entrepreneurs on her podcast Conversations About Closets With My Closet 1000 Friends, about what they do, why and what they love about it, with one or two questions in there about clothing (there’s that passion for fashion!). Female-identifying (or non-binary) and want to be a guest? Book here!

Born in Southern California and made in New York City, Susana is the oldest child of two South American immigrants who dared to want more. The seeds of resiliency and self-determination where planted in her from an early age. These characteristics helped her navigate a world and society that never welcomed her as a LatinX woman. After having her son in 2016, she realized that again, she was an outsider looking in. The world of motherhood seemed to only reflect Anglo-suburban moms who always looked happy, fit, and beautifully poised at all times. Feeling the void for inclusive motherhood narratives, she decided to launch The Mamish Community in 2017–a platform dedicated to contemporary multicultural mamís. Susana currently resides in New York City with her 5yr old son, life partner, and their many plants.
