In this solo episode, Erin takes the mic to dive into the mental wrestling match we all know too well: good versus bad. Yeah, it seems simple—but let’s be real, life loves to kick us when we're down, and suddenly that “bad” can feel like the worst thing ever. But what if—hear us out—those same moments that seem impossible might just be the setup for something better?
Erin doesn’t sugarcoat it—life can be a serious pain in the butt—but she’s all about flipping the script. It’s time to shift your mindset and see setbacks as setups for comebacks. Whether you're feeling the weight of everyday frustrations or stuck in a crap storm of epic proportions, Erin’s here to remind you that your response is key. She even shares a killer old fable (not as hokey as it sounds) that hits home on the whole 'we’ll see' approach to life’s curveballs.
Plus, we get a reminder of how powerful mindfulness, grounding exercises, and post-traumatic growth can be. You might not control everything life throws your way, but you do control your narrative.
Tune in to learn how to ride life's waves, own your mindset, and turn your obstacles into opportunities. Oh, and spoiler alert: Erin might challenge you to dance it out, even if you're not a dancer. Get ready for a mix of real talk, a little science, and a lot of "you’ve got this."
