In this deeply personal episode, Erin opens up about the hidden “pocket of terror” that kept her from fully grieving a breakup—and how facing it unlocked a new season of abundance in her life.

You’ll hear:

• Why grief sometimes hides behind other emotions like fear or anxiety

• How childhood experiences can silently shape your adult relationships

• The tools Erin used—journaling, yoga, EMDR, shadow work—to go deeper

• The turning point where she asked for professional help

• How abundance naturally returns once you’ve honored the grief

Whether you’re navigating loss, transition, or a lingering sense of “something’s missing,” this conversation will remind you: you can move through the darkness and come out more alive than ever.

In this final episode of the Chakra Series, I guide you through the sacred gateway of the Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara — the energetic center of universal connection, spiritual insight, and inner wisdom.

I weave together personal stories of healing, practical tools, and timeless spiritual teachings to help you experience your own embodied awakening — not by escaping your body, but by being deeply present within it.

You’ll learn:

• Signs of an imbalanced or blocked crown chakra

• The deep connection between your heart and mind

• How healing your lower chakras creates the foundation for spiritual growth

• Practices to access clarity, peace, and intuitive wisdom

• How I use trauma-informed techniques, like neurovascular holds, mala meditation, and white light visualization for deep healing

• Why spiritual bypassing keeps us stuck — and how true transformation begins with presence

This episode is a reminder that awakening isn’t about floating away — it’s about coming home. 🕊️

In this episode of Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching, I, Erin, continue the chakra series with a focus on the Ajna chakra—the third eye, our center of intuitive wisdom and inner vision.

We explore how a blocked Ajna can show up as insomnia, mental overwhelm, or difficulty trusting your inner voice. I share how connecting with the heart—not just the logical mind—can bring clarity to life’s big decisions.

Drawing from my background in Karate and Eastern philosophies, I discuss the role of Ajna in spiritual awakening, the meaning of “OM” vs. “AUM,” and the pineal gland’s connection to deeper states of consciousness.

I use the metaphor of a movie theater to explain how overstimulation can block subtle energy, and I address why spiritual practices often get labeled “woo-woo.” Through meditation, pranayama, and specific yogic techniques, we can activate this powerful center of awareness.

Next up: Sahasrara, the crown chakra. Until then, thank you for tuning in. Namaste.

In this episode of Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching, I, Erin, dive into Vishuddha—the throat chakra—our center for truth, expression, and courage. Many of us struggle with speaking our truth due to past suppression, which can show up as neck pain, sore throats, or fear of judgment.

I explore how grounding our communication in Ahimsa (non-harm) helps us speak from the heart with love and clarity. You’ll learn the chakra’s bija mantra “hum,” its ocean-blue color, and practice a short breath and sound exercise to open this space.

I also reflect on my own journey with direct and heartfelt communication, and how feminine nuance can deepen expression. Finally, I invite you to join me for our upcoming Japan retreat in November and share details about coaching + yoga training programs with early-bird perks.

Let this episode be a loving reminder that your voice matters—and when spoken from the heart, it can heal.

Right before I left for India, I recorded an episode straight from the heart—filled with excitement and anticipation—and centered around the third chakra, Manipura: our inner fire, personal power, and sense of self. 

In this episode, I open up about my journey of reclaiming confidence and willpower, especially through my past struggles with disordered eating. We talk about what it means to digest not just food, but life—and how when this chakra is out of balance, we often live in fight-or-flight, seeking validation and losing our inner compass.

I share breathwork tools, the bija mantra “Ram,” and the CLEAR formula—all practical ways to reconnect with your solar plexus and come home to your strength.

Now that I’m back from India—with a full heart, a soothed nervous system, and a lot of stories—I can’t wait to share more with you in the next episodes. ✨

🎧 Tune in to this one if you’re ready to light your inner fire and finally stop seeking approval from outside.
