Her work centers on helping women unlearn societal pressures and rediscover who they were created to be. Through meaningful conversations, scripture-based insights, and real-life experiences, Audrey guides her audience to deepen their relationship with God, find clarity in their calling, and live with greater intention, fulfillment, and faith. 

I sit down with Erin—a devoted mom of two, middle school science teacher, and widow—who shares her deeply personal journey through grief, motherhood, and healing.

Erin opens up about the kind of grief that doesn’t follow a timeline—the kind that reshapes your entire life. With honesty and vulnerability, she speaks about losing her partner, raising her daughters through unimaginable heartbreak, and navigating the long road of rebuilding a life she never expected to live.

Together, we also explore the unspoken parts of grief:

✨ What it means to date after loss
 ✨ How to open your heart again
 ✨ And how it’s possible to hold love for someone you lost while making space for new love

Erin’s story is raw, powerful, and deeply human—a reminder that healing isn’t linear, and that even in the hardest seasons, growth and hope are still possible.

This episode is for anyone carrying grief, loving through loss, or learning how to live again.
