    EP 24- Finding yourself again after leaving your relationship.

    In this episode of The Real Scoop, Erin Taylor is joined by Michelle known on instagram as "Mend with Mesh" for an honest and open conversation about relationships, self-worth, attachment styles, and how they impact on your nervous system regulation.Together, they explore why so many women find themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, not because they’re doing something wrong, but because of unmet needs, unregulated nervous systems, and deeply ingrained societal pressures around what we are "taught about" love, success, and worthiness.This episode is especially powerful if you’re navigating dating, healing from past relationships, or noticing how stress and emotional overwhelm show up in your body when it comes to connection. Erin and Michelle unpack how understanding your attachment style, values, and boundaries can help you feel safer, more secure, and more grounded in relationships, without losing yourself.They also discuss the impact of comparison culture and social media on women’s confidence, why recognising red flags early matters, and how true independence and self-trust create healthier dynamics. At the heart of this conversation is the reminder that regulating your nervous system is not separate from your relationship choices, it’s foundational to them.This conversation is truly supportive for the women who knows she needs to break cycles, move on and also for the friend who is looking for new ways to support a friend they know in an unhealthy relationship.This is for the woman who is ready to build relationships from a place of clarity rather than survival or fear.You can find Michelle @mendwithmeshErin will also be speaking at Michelle’s event Volve After Dark in February 2026 a powerful space focused on growth, healing, and deeper self-connection.

    If you know what you want… but still keep finding yourself feeling stuck, hesitant, or caught in overthinking, this episode of The Real Scoop is for you.In this episode, Erin Taylor brings together the final part of her Inner Clarity Code. Taking aligned action. The piece so many ambitious women struggle with, even after doing the inner work.We explore why it’s not a lack of motivation or discipline holding you back, but an unregulated nervous system, outdated belief systems, and a mind wired for safety rather than growth.

    EP 7- What if comparison was trying to show you what you REALLY wanted?

    Comparison is something we all do, especially as ambitious women trying to find our way through change, uncertainty, or a new season in life.In this episode of The Real Scoop, I’m diving into the science behind why we compare, how a dysregulated nervous system can make it even worse, and what to do when you catch yourself spiralling into negative self-talk.What you can expect to hear during the episode-The truth about where comparison comes from (and why it makes sense your mind goes there)Why you compare more when you’re in a season of transition or experiencing low self-worthMindset shifts that I have personally used to flip comparison into inspirationHow to anchor into what you do have, even when your brain wants to pull you to focus on what’s missingPrompts that will help you turn jealousy into clarity and forward movementThis episode if a pure reminder for that someone else’s success should not take away from your own timeline, and how if you use comparison in the right way, it  can actually guide you back to what you really want, if you let it!🎧 Loved this episode?Screenshot it, share it to your IG stories & tag me at @iamerintaylorConnect with me on instagram @iamerintaylor I would LOVE to hear your biggest take away from THE REAL SCOOP.

    EP 2. Why your nervous system might actually be blocking you from achieving the life you say you want.

    In this episode of The Real Scoop, I’m diving deep into the first step of my Inner Clarity Code, which is nervous system regulation, and why this is the piece so many ambitious women skip… even though it holds the key to lasting change.I’ll be breaking down for you,-What nervous system regulation actually means (in real language) -Why we choose to bypass it, and how its actually keeping us stuck in sabotage -What happens to you when your body doesn’t feel safe to take action -My own story of unlearning the belief that success, equalled burnout and why the nervous system regulation work had to come first -How to start create full-body calibration, so action actually feels grounded and safe This has been a game-changer for the women in which I coach and for myself, especially over the last few months navigating big life and business shifts that have caused me to really test how regulated my nervous system is and can I hold whats next. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still can’t move forward, this episode will help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface.Because, -You can’t think your way into a life that your body still feels safe to live, you have to show your body it is safe. -You can’t take aligned action from a place of survival. And you’re not lazy, broken, or falling behind, your nervous system just hasn’t caught up yet.🎧 Tune in now and let’s get real about the part of personal growth most people avoid, but you know you are brave enough to face.Find me on IG at @iamerintaylorConnect with me on instagram @iamerintaylor I would LOVE to hear your biggest take away from THE REAL SCOOP.

    EP 5. Why taking aligned action starts messy, but that’s where true confidence is created.

    In this episode of The Real Scoop, we’re diving into the final piece of the Inner Clarity Code: Taking Aligned Action, and why this is where everything begins to shift for you.Now you understand exactly why you need to do the work to regulate your nervous system, rewire your beliefs, and redefine your relationships. Because this is the missing piece that ensures you can take aligned action toward your goals and visions, without the stop-start effect.Inside this episode, I explain exactly-Why you don’t need to have it all figured out to take the first stepThe hidden link between procrastination, perfectionism, and fear of successHow self-sabotage often protects your outdated beliefs, not your futureWhy nervous system work and belief rewiring must come before strategyThe truth about successful women, spoiler alert... they are not immune to fear, they're just so clear on their vision and not afraid to take action. I’m also sharing the exact tools I give to my clients (and use myself) to take action that feels clear, grounded, and aligned, even when it’s scary or uncertain.Think meditation, journaling, visualisation… but you’ll have to listen in to hear how to use them effectively.Because clarity isn’t something you think your way into.It’s something you build by moving forward, one aligned, uncomfortable, stretchy movement at a time.📲 If this episode has fired something within you, make sure you share it on your stories and tag me.🔗 Remember to follow me on Instagram @iamerintaylor if you haven't already. Connect with me on instagram @iamerintaylor I would LOVE to hear your biggest take away from THE REAL SCOOP.

    EP 3. How the beliefs you didn’t choose, are now choosing your future

    In this episode of The Real Scoop, we’re getting into part two of the Inner Clarity Code, rewiring your belief system so it finally supports the life you’re building.If you feel like you know what you want, but your actions do not currently match it, this is the work you need to focus on  Most of your beliefs were formed before the age of 7. But they are now still running the show in your career, your relationships, your confidence… and your next chapter.Your belief system is outdated. And if you’re not consciously rewriting it, you’ll keep repeating patterns that no longer fit the woman you’re becoming.Inside this episode, I break down for you- -How your early belief system was wired for survival, not expansion. -The invisible link between your nervous system and belief system. -Why just mindset work alone is not enough to create deep change. -My own journey with unlearning the belief “I’m not good enough”. -What it actually takes to rewire your internal dialogue and take action that sticks.No vision board, strategy or plan can override a belief that constantly repeats-  “You’re not worthy.” “You’ll burn out if you go bigger.” “You’ll have to sacrifice happiness if you want to grow.”And if any part of you is nodding along, listening to this episode is your next step.Connect with me on Instagram- @iamerintaylor 🎧 If this shifted something for you, tag me in your stories or share it with a friend.
