  • The Real Reason You're Burnt Out (Hint: It's Not Doing Too Much) | Ep 370
    Jul 29 2025

    What if your burnout is not because you're doing too much, but because you're not doing enough of the stuff that lights you up and makes you feel alive?

    In this energizing solo episode, Erin is reframing burnout through the lens of disconnection: from your creativity, your joy, and your unique voltage.

    If you’re a high-achieving practitioner feeling the weight of 1:1 work and wondering how to scale your impact without losing the soul of what you do, this episode introduces the power of group programs. There’s no better way to give more people access to you and your inner genius.

    And Erin is hosting a special 90 minute masterclass on August 14th to help you package up your protocols, insights, and client wins into your next creation, with no fluff. This is a jam-packed session for anyone ready to teach, lead, and create from a place of alignment. Sign up here!

    In this episode:

    • Why traditional burnout advice misses the mark, and what your energy body has to do with healing
    • The critical difference between empathy and compassion (one quietly leads to emotional depletion!)
    • How Erin scaled her business by following her inner voltage rather than just tactics
    • The signs that you’re running on someone else’s power source instead of your own
    • Why group programs should NEVER be created using AI tools like ChatGPT, and how your energy impacts the experience
    • PLUS, thoughtful journal prompts to reconnect to yourself

  • When Your Body Says No: Burnout, Boundaries, and Hormonal Imbalance | Ep 369
    Jul 22 2025

    When you ignore your own boundaries, your body will set them FOR you – through burnout, hormonal dysfunction, autoimmune flare-ups, and chronic fatigue. So if you’ve ever pushed your needs aside “just for now,” consider this your compassionate wake-up call.

    In this live call from the Your Hormone Revival program, Erin delivers a tough-love, no-shame framework for your health journey so you can reclaim your vitality, learn how to say no, prioritize yourself, and heal at the root level.

    Erin highlights the powerful (and often overlooked) mindset shifts that create lasting results, like the difference between intention and commitment, and how subconscious stressors sneak into your system.

    You’ll also get access to a game-changing visualization exercise to anchor your goals.

    In this episode:
    • Why symptoms like fatigue, burnout, and autoimmune flare-ups are your body’s way of enforcing boundaries you haven’t set for yourself
    • The 7 hidden, subconscious stressors (like hyper-responsibility and the inability to say no), that silently drive hormonal chaos
    • A guided visualization exercise designed to uncover your deepest blocks and clarify your future vision
    • The critical difference between “setting an intention” and “making a commitment”
    • Actionable tools for setting energetic and time boundaries so you can prioritize your healing - even when life feels too full or chaotic!

  • Perimenopause Isn’t Just About Hormones: What Every Perimenopausal Woman Should Know Before Starting HRT with Dr. Deanna Minich | Ep 368
    Jul 15 2025

    Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be a powerful tool, but it’s just one piece of the perimenopause puzzle.

    In this episode, Erin is talking to renowned nutrition scientist and functional medicine expert Dr. Deanna Minich to challenge the “HRT or bust” narrative, diving into the deeper systems involved (like your gut, liver, and brain!) and how they shape your hormonal experience.

    Dr. Minich introduces a root-cause framework that prioritizes the health of the entire endocrine system, not just hormone levels in isolation. You’ll learn about the five pillars of hormone processing (synthesis, transport, activation, metabolism, and excretion), the emerging role of endocrine disruptors, and why starting with gut health and detox pathways is essential before jumping into hormone therapy.

    If you’re hormone-curious, this conversation will expand your understanding, AND your options.

    In this episode:

    • Why jumping straight into hormone replacement therapy might bypass the real issues, like a dysfunctional endocrine system
    • The critical role of the HPTA-GLOA Axis and how it regulates your mood, your metabolism, detoxification, and inflammation
    • How to support the full hormone cascade (not just estrogen/progesterone)
    • A bold parallel between today’s HRT marketing and the diet fads of the '90s
    • How maca supports hormonal balance, especially when symptoms don’t require or respond to HRT
