In this deeply personal episode of Aspire for More with Erin, Erin shares a raw reflection on her upcoming keynote and the lessons that built it. She unpacks how trauma, avoidance, and over-functioning quietly shape leadership—and how facing our discomfort is the real path to growth.

You’ll hear:

• Why 34% of the senior living workforce carries trauma that impacts communication and performance.
• How avoidance and over-functioning masquerade as productivity.
• Why “100%” is not a metric—it’s a mindset.
• The choice every leader faces: react or respond.
• The hard truth that what we avoid will eventually control us.

This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t about perfection or hustle. It’s about awareness, reflection, and choosing to believe you are enough.
