In this episode, Erin sits down with India Dania — creator of the Wyld Method and founder of the House of Honey — for a conversation about what it means to come back into relationship with your body, your natural rhythms, and ultimately, yourself.India, a 3/5 emotional Manifesting Generator, shares her journey from working a government desk job that was quite literally draining the life out of her, to returning to the thing she had loved since childhood: dance. What began as a decision to follow what made her feel alive eventually became an entirely different way of living, working, moving, and relating to herself.Together, Erin and India explore the ways modern life has disconnected us from our bodies and the natural world, what it means to live as cyclical and seasonal beings, and why becoming more fully ourselves requires more than another framework, wellness practice, or quick fix.We talk about:India’s journey from government employee to dancer, entrepreneur, and creator of the Wild Methodfollowing what makes you feel alive — even when it doesn’t make logical sensewhy embodiment is something we practice, not something we intellectually understandthe impact of productivity culture and linear ways of living on womenrebuilding a relationship with your body after years of overriding itnature, seasons, and remembering ourselves as cyclical beingswhy real transformation takes time, devotion, and relationshipcommunity as an essential part of healing, growth, and being humanIndia’s House of Honey and her vision for a more embodied, connected way of livingAt its core, this conversation is an invitation to become more human in a world that increasingly pulls us away from ourselves — and to remember just how alive we are designed to feel.Connect with India:InstagramHOUSE OF HONEY Seasonal MembershipWYLD SZN RetreatConnect with Erin:Instagram

Your body is always speaking. But after years of being taught to override it, perform for others, and search outside ourselves for answers, learning to hear it can feel like remembering a language we once knew.In this episode, I’m joined by somatic sexologist Shauntel Farland, a 3/5 emotional Manifesting Generator, for a conversation about pleasure—but probably not in the way you expect.Shauntel’s work isn’t about chasing bigger orgasms, mastering another technique, or turning sexuality into one more space where we need to achieve. It’s about becoming empty enough to meet what is already here. The numbness. The grief. The contraction. The desire. The parts of ourselves we’ve rejected, hidden, or decided were too much.In this episode, we explore:The period of profound loss that first brought Shauntel back to her bodyWhy numbness is not an absence, but a form of protectionSexual liberation as an undoing of performance, conditioning, and shameHow pleasure can become a practice of presence rather than another destinationThe five tools Shauntel uses to explore the body: movement, sound, breath, awareness, and touchWhat changes in our relationships when we learn to remain present with intensityWhy resisting an emotion often creates more suffering than the emotion itselfSimple practices for beginning to listen to the body without forcing an outcomeThis conversation is an invitation to stop forcing your body to give you an answer. To stop treating pleasure as somewhere you need to arrive. And to begin, slowly and curiously, with whatever is here.Because the body has never stopped speaking.We’re simply remembering how to listen.Connect with Shauntel: InstagramShe RemembersConnect with Erin: InstagramThe Greenhouse

What if discomfort isn't something you need to fix, regulate away, or avoid?In this spontaneous solo episode, I'm exploring the role discomfort has played throughout some of the biggest transitions of my life — from leaving my corporate career, to realizing the “dream life” I had created in Bali no longer fit, to learning how to recognize when it's time for another chapter to begin.Because there are different kinds of discomfort. There's the discomfort that comes from living a life that isn't right for you anymore. And then there's the discomfort that comes from stepping beyond what's familiar and expanding your capacity for something more.Either way, discomfort is asking something of us.We talk about what misalignment can actually feel like in the body, why self-awareness means very little if we're unwilling to act on what we know, the tiny ways we can practice moving beyond our comfort zones, and how our increasingly digital world makes it easier than ever to distract, numb, and avoid the very things we need to face.Because building self-trust isn't about never feeling afraid, uncertain, or uncomfortable.It's showing yourself, little by little, that you can meet the discomfort — and move anyway.I also share more about The Greenhouse, my 12-week coaching mentorship for those ready to stop circling the same patterns and start creating real movement in their lives.

When we think about entrepreneurship, we often think about marketing, strategy, scaling, or making more money.But the businesses that truly last are built on something much deeper.In this episode, I’m joined by Haley Madison, co-founder of ONYX Business Academy, for an honest conversation about the self-trust, resilience, integrity, and courage required to build a business that not only succeeds, but supports the life you actually want to live.Haley shares how she went from growing up surrounded by addiction, moving out at 17, and working multiple jobs to uprooting her life, moving across the world, starting her first business, and eventually building ONYX alongside her partner, Joshua.We talk about:why you don’t need to have the full vision figured out before taking actionthe difference between following intuition and acting from impulse or fearwhy entrepreneurship exposes so many of our deepest patternsthe relationship between structure, nervous system safety, and creativitywhy quick wins rarely create sustainable businessesthe difference between consuming more information and receiving real mentorshipwhat it means to build a business with integrity in an increasingly noisy online industrywhy the most successful entrepreneurs are willing to become someone new along the wayWhether you’re building a business, questioning your current direction, or trying to create a life that feels more like your own, this conversation is a reminder that you do not need to know exactly where the path will lead.You just need enough self-trust to follow the first breadcrumb.Connect with Haley⁠Instagram⁠Connect with ErinInstagramJoin unSTUCKIf you understand your patterns but still can’t seem to change them, join me for unSTUCK, a free live experience designed to help you understand what is actually keeping you stuck and begin closing the gap between knowing and doing.REPLAY: SIGN UP
