Erin opens up about the loss of identity she faced when her playing days ended, her decade-long battle with self-worth and body image, and how she ultimately found purpose through vulnerability and authenticity. Together, they explore the pressure women feel to “do it all,” the importance of modeling self-acceptance for children, and why sharing our personal stories can help others find strength in their own. This episode is a reminder that even when one chapter closes, your story is far from over.
