  • Perimenopause, Unfiltered a Series: No One Prepares You for This with Cindy Schwartz

    No one hands you a handbook for this season of life — so we’re making one, together.

    In the first episode of our four-part Perimenopause, Unfiltered series, I sit down with Cindy — a multi-passionate woman and Female Empowerment Coach — to hear the raw, un-Instagrammed story of her awakening to perimenopause. Spoiler: the symptoms didn’t look “classic,” the emotional chaos felt like early-onset insanity, and the medical system didn’t have much to offer beyond dismissal.

    We connect the intergenerational dots, unpack the weird (and often invisible) signs, and talk about what it’s like to feel lost in your own body with zero language for what’s happening. Cindy also pulls back the curtain on the deep-dive research rabbit hole she fell into — the podcasts, books, and papers that helped her piece her world back together — and why this conversation is the one she wishes someone had handed her at the start.

    If you’re in the early “WTF is going on?” stage, this episode is your orientation, your comfort, and your permission slip to trust your experience.

    Core message: You’re not imagining it. You’re not broken. You’re in the middle of something big that no one warned you about. This podcast is your compass.

    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    * Cindy’s first, confusing brush with perimenopause

    * The symptoms that don’t make the pamphlets

    * Why the medical system leaves so many women adrift

    * The emotional + identity upheaval no one talks about

    * How she started finding her way forward

    * What to expect in the coming episodes in the series

  • Letting Go (Even When It Hurts Like Hell)

    In this raw and reflective solo, Erin dives into the gritty truth of death and rebirth—the kind that doesn’t always look pretty but moves us closer to who we’re becoming. She speaks on the discomfort of change, the beauty of ego death, and how the symbolism of the snake is showing up in her life and this season. If you’re in the in-between, shedding old skin, or feeling like you’re unraveling… this one’s for you.

She brings a grounded, accessible approach to cyclical living and shares how tuning into the phases of your cycle can be a powerful tool for energy, clarity, and connection. We talk about the different seasons of the menstrual cycle, how to work with your body instead of against it, and ways to bring this wisdom into daily life without overcomplicating it.

  • The Nervous System Isn’t a Trend — It’s Your Life with Sylvie Lahaie

    In this episode, Erin sits down with a guest teacher from her upcoming 250hr Somatic Facilitator Training, Sylvie Lahaie— a scientist, yoga teacher, and meditation guide who bridges neuroscience with nervous system healing in a way that’s clear, grounded, and deeply human.

    Together, they unpack the real-life application of breathwork, the brain’s stress responses, and why healing doesn’t come from one big “aha” — but from consistent, honest micro-moves that actually meet the body where it is.

    This isn’t a quick-fix convo. It’s a rich dialogue about how trauma shows up in daily life, how the brain adapts, and why slowing down is actually a radical act. They explore how science supports somatic work — and why breath is one of the most powerful (and underused) tools we have for regulation.

    INSIDE WE DIVE INTO:

    * How breathwork actually impacts the brain

    * The neuroscience behind stress, survival responses, and safety

    * Why “going big” often backfires in healing spaces

    * The magic of doing less (but with intention)

    * Why nervous system regulation isn’t just a wellness trend

    * Real-world stories and practices you can apply today

  • Beyond the Chart: Embodied Sisterhood, Fear & the Future of Healing with Lina Vallejos

    In this interview episode, Erin welcomes another powerful guest teacher from her upcoming 250hr Somatic Facilitator Training; Lina Vallejos — a modern mystic and embodiment guide who weaves astrology and Human Design in a way that’s raw, intuitive, and rooted in real life.

    This isn’t a conversation about what it means to be a Generator or your Saturn return. It’s a deep, honest exploration of what happens when we stop outsourcing our power to systems — and start using them to understand, soften into, and fully express who we already are.

    Erin and her guest dive into their personal journey with sisterhood — how healing within their relationships with women shifted everything else. They go into the witch wound, the fears that still run deep, and why walking this path publicly can feel like a risk — and a reclamation.

    This is an episode for anyone craving honest connection, soul-level guidance, and a reminder that your individuality is the medicine.

    INSIDE WE DIVE INTO: 

    • How astrology & HD can support embodiment — not performance

    • The "witch wound" & the fear of being too much

    • What real sisterhood can shift in your nervous system

    • Why “one-size-fits-all” doesn’t work in healing or service

    • The future of teaching, leading, and living from your design

    • Personal stories, initiations, and laughter along the way (duh)

  • The Body Isn’t Separate: A Real Talk on Modern Movement & Life with Natalie Kakon

    In this episode, Erin sits down with Natalie Kakon, one of the guest teachers from her upcoming 250hr Somatic Facilitator Training — a movement educator known for her grounded, body-first approach to anatomy, nervous system health, and safe, sustainable movement.

    Together, they get real about what it actually means to live and teach movement in a way that honors the full human — especially as women navigating burnout, expectations, and a wellness industry that often separates what’s meant to be integrated.

    This isn’t about textbook anatomy or strict alignment. It’s about listening to fascia, moving with emotional honesty, and reshaping what movement spaces can be: healing, honest, whole.

    Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or facilitator, this episode will leave you feeling seen, softened, and a little more willing to let your own body lead.

    INSIDE WE DIVE INTO: 

    • What modern movement spaces are becoming (and why it matters)

    • Fascia, regulation, and the emotional body

    • How to stay connected to yourself while holding space for others

    • Why the old performance-based teaching (and lifestyle) model is breaking down

    • The future of movement: embodied, intuitive, and human-first

    This one’s for the space-holders, the body-lovers, the forever students and the teachers who feel a shift coming — and are ready to move with it.

  • Self-Abandonment Is Boring. Let’s Talk Coming Home.

    In this intimate solo episode, Erin unpacks what it really means to come home to yourself as a woman — not just as a poetic phrase, but as a lived, essential return to your inner sanctuary. Drawing from personal experience, cultural context, and the wisdom of Women Who Run With the Wolves, this conversation dives deep into the concept of “home” in the feminine psyche.

    What is this internal home? Why do so many women feel exiled from it? And how do we begin the journey back?

    This is for the women who feel scattered, stretched, or like they’ve been performing in places that were never truly made for them. It’s for the women who crave wholeness, who are aching for a soft place to land inside themselves.

    This episode weaves together soul, soma, story, and spirit — offering a map back to the wild, wise woman within.

    INSIDE WE DIVE INTO: 

    • The meaning of "home" in the psyche

    • Why so many women feel lost or disconnected

    • The cultural and societal pressures that pull us away from ourselves

    • The deep medicine of returning inward

    • A reading from Women Who Run With the Wolves that speaks to the wild soul’s longing

    • Somatic reflections on safety, intuition, and sovereignty

  • The New Era of Space Holding Starts Here

    In this solo episode, Erin pulls back the curtain on the program she's been quietly building behind the scenes for women who are here to guide, hold, create and serve from a place that’s embodied, intuitive, and powerfully regulated.

    INSIDE YOU'LL FIND:

    • The new paradigm leadership low down
    • The story behind the training

    • What makes it radically different

    • Who it’s for (and not for)

    • How we weave somatics, energy, and soul into the space-holding process

    If you’re a coach, healer, teacher, or sensitive soul who knows there’s a new way to lead—this one’s for you.

  • Lunar Logic: A Soft Rebellion Against the Grind

    In this solo episode, we drop into the lunar wave — not just as a moon cycle, but as a creative map, a nervous system guide, and a rhythm we can actually live by.

    If you're tired of pushing, forcing, or trying to be "on" all the time, this one's for you. Erin unpacks the deeper intelligence behind the four phases of the moon — new, waxing, full, and waning — and links them to different neural states and somatic needs.

    YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: 

    • Track your creative energy and nervous system with lunar rhythm

    • Understand what phase you’re in personally vs. what the collective is moving through

    • Break up with hustle culture using nature as your compass

    • Use this cycle to design your work, rest, and expression

    • Integrate these insights into your own rituals, projects, or even the way you teach and lead

    Plus, Erin shares how this framework has shaped her own healing journey, the way she holds space in classes and workshops, and how it’s woven into her upcoming training.

    Expect a grounded, nourishing episode with real tools and poetic permission to honor your wave — wherever you are.
