My friend Erin is a career hairstylist and life coach who has dedicated her life to helping others find their strength and purpose. About two years ago, Erin began writing a book about her life, her struggles, and the challenges she faced while getting off mental health medication. Through her journey, she discovered the fundamentals of life and has been passionate about sharing her story to inspire others. Alongside her writing, Erin has built a growing presence on YouTube and Spotify, sharing over 90 podcast episodes and more than 15 videos to reach people who need encouragement and hope.

Now, Erin is working with a publisher to bring her first book to life and is already in the process of writing her second. But her vision doesn't stop there—she is making plans to open a life coach center in Little Rock, Arkansas, complete with a boutique and T-shirt shop. Erin has partnered with a nurse and a doctor who believe in her mission and will donate their time to a monthly wellness clinic. She also plans to host community events like art nights for all ages and offer four-week life coaching sessions based on her book. As her business grows, Erin hopes to welcome other life coaches to share her material and expand the reach of her message.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover essential expenses like rent, insurance, book production, T-shirt screenprinting equipment, racks, supplies, and more. Supporting Erin means helping her empower others to discover their own fundamentals and build a stronger, more supportive community. I invite you to check out Erin's podcast, 'Your Story Is Not Over, You're Still Writing It,' and if you're in the Little Rock area, please come by and visit the shop once it's open. Your support would be a true blessing in helping Erin turn her vision into reality.
