In this solo episode, Erin dives deep into the power of personal narrative.

Takeaways:

• How childhood imagination reveals adult truth
• Why internal stories create real-world limits
• Tools to rewrite the narrative you live by

Erin welcomes you back to Seek the Magic with a heartfelt episode that speaks directly to the hearts of parents—especially moms navigating the emotional rollercoaster of raising young children. Joined by fellow mom and therapist Nicole, this conversation dives deep into the real, raw, and often unspoken experiences of emotional dysregulation in motherhood.

Together, they reflect on how becoming a parent not only challenges your nervous system but also awakens parts of yourself that were long buried beneath expectations, shame, and exhaustion. Nicole opens up about her own postpartum struggles—even as a trained therapist—and how motherhood served as a powerful mirror, exposing the emotional patterns she had to confront and heal.

Through their shared journey in the Triggers to Transformation program, Erin and Nicole explore how emotional awareness can become a lifeline—allowing you to show up more present, regulated, and connected in your relationships, especially with your children.

Whether you’re a parent, partner, or simply someone on a path of personal growth, this episode is an honest and healing invitation to pause, feel, and begin again—with more grace.
