We’ll explore why reality TV can feel so comforting when we’re overwhelmed, why podcasts often feel like safe companionship, and why fictional storytelling can feel either deeply nourishing or completely inaccessible depending on where we’re at.I share my own journey of moving through years of reality TV and podcasts, then slowly finding my way back to fictional stories - and what that shift reflected about my healing, emotional capacity, and nervous system regulation. This is a conversation about:Why comfort shows aren’t “mindless”How storytelling supports us in different seasonsWhy starting a new show or movie can feel overwhelmingLetting go of judgment around what you consumeTrusting that what you’re reaching for is meeting a real needThere’s no hierarchy here.

We talk about why feeling tired, unmotivated, or called to rest doesn’t mean you’re lazy - it means you’re human, and your body is responding to a season meant for slowing down and going inward.I also explore why I’m anti-resolution, the difference between perfection and intention, and how setting intentions rooted in how you want to feel can be far more supportive than rigid goals. We’ll touch on natural rhythms, boundaries, and why spring - not January - is often when clarity and momentum naturally return.If the New Year feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming, this episode is a gentle reminder that nothing is wrong with you. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to move at your own pace. And you’re allowed to honour what this season is asking of you.Connect with Erin!Follow on Instagram:@ebbsandflows222Send me an Email: [email protected] a Reiki Session With Me!Products:I Published a Dream Journal!

Send a textIn this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Landin Brow - owner of Nova Auto Detailing, who’s been running his business for eight years - to talk about the real, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship.Landin shares how taking the pressure off, trusting real experience, and staying open to guidance helped him build a business that actually feels aligned. One of the themes he comes back to again and again is connection - how having mentors, supportive friendships, and people you can lean on makes the journey less lonely and a lot more doable.He also opens up about how his path challenges a lot of what’s taught in traditional business school. Instead of focusing on rigid frameworks or “perfect plans,” Landin shows how real-world experience, trial and error, and genuine relationships often are what *actually* move you forward.We also explore burnout, discipline, comparison, and letting go of the belief that you need to have everything figured out before you begin.If you’re craving honest insight from someone who built a business through consistency, community, and real-life learning, this conversation will meet you where you’re at.Connect with Landin & Nova Auto!Follow on Instagram: @novaautodetailing_Visit Nova Auto Detailing Website: www.novaautodetailing.comConnect with Erin!Follow on Instagram: @ebbsandflows222Send me an Email: [email protected] a Reiki Session With Me!Chapters00:00 The Journey of Entrepreneurship22:58 Lessons from Business School45:53 The Reality of Running a Business01:09:10 Balancing Work and Personal Life01:31:58 The Importance of Mentorship and Community34:13 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship36:54 Finding Balance in Business and Life40:50 Collaboration Over Competition43:05 The Power of Mindset in Business46:58 Learning Through Experience49:32 Manifestation and Trust in the Process51:58 The Value of Working for Yourself53:43 Setting Goals and Achieving Growth56:18 The Journey of Hiring and Team Building01:01:41 Staying Grounded Amidst Success01:04:52 Navigating Business Challenges and Support Systems01:11:31 Mindfulness and Grounding Practices01:20:32 Lessons for Aspiring Entrepreneurs01:30:11 The Power of Connection and Community
