The Mormon Mom Who Started Asking Questions

The Mormon Mom Who Started Asking Questions

What happens when the beliefs you've trusted your entire life no longer fit the person you're becoming? In this episode of Lay Low, Erin shares the story of the quiet voice that first appeared during a trip to Italy and slowly changed the course of her life. Raised in the Mormon church, she opens up about questioning long-held beliefs, redefining her relationship with God, and learning to trust her own intuition for the first time. From Vatican City and European adventures to books, yoga, moon rituals, therapy, nature, and unexpected friendships, Erin explores the practices that helped her reconnect with herself during a season of profound change. This episode is about: * spirituality vs. religion * trusting your inner voice * questioning old beliefs * finding connection outside of rules * navigating identity shifts * and giving yourself permission to not have all the answers Because sometimes growth begins with curiosity. Sometimes the quiet voice inside you knows long before your life catches up. And maybe becoming yourself isn't about finding someone new—it's about remembering who you were all along.

Forgiving Him, Forgiving Me

In this deeply personal episode of Lay Low, Erin opens up about forgiveness, messy growth seasons, heartbreak, self-awareness, and learning how to let go — not just of other people, but of old versions of herself too. Inspired by the memoir Strangers by Belle Burden, this conversation explores what happens when people evolve in different directions, relationships unravel, and life forces us to confront both the ways we’ve been hurt… and the ways we’ve hurt others. Erin shares: * emotional chaos during the end of her marriage * the gray areas and guilt that came with massive personal change * looking for love during her “Gypsy Life” era * forgiving her ex-fiancé after betrayal and a double life * over-giving, ignoring red flags, and trying to love someone into stability * the difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and access * why some people are meant for a season, not forever This episode also answers a listener question: “How do you let go of resentment toward someone when you know they’ve deeply hurt you or someone you love?” Through stories, reflections, and lessons learned the hard way, Erin talks honestly about accountability, boundaries, self-forgiveness, and why growth rarely looks graceful while you’re inside it. Because sometimes the hardest person to forgive… is yourself. Send in your questions for me to answer at www. laylowpod.com [http://www.laylowpod.com] Thanks for laying low with me. ❤️

Pink Ticket to Freedom

In this episode of Lay Low, Erin shares the story behind what she calls her “Gypsy Life” years — the season after divorce where life became a constant back-and-forth between motherhood, reinvention, city weekends, Airbnbs, healing, friendships, and learning how to trust herself again. From Mormon mom life and Bunko nights to discovering a skincare company that completely changed her world, Erin talks about the friendships, hobbies, experiences, and quiet inner voice that slowly pushed her toward a completely different version of herself. This episode explores: * Why adults (especially moms) lose hobbies and identity * How small passions can reconnect us to ourselves * The reality of separation, bird nesting, and rebuilding life in-between * Friendship, support systems, and finding “your people” * The guilt that comes with choosing yourself * Learning that growth rarely looks polished while you’re inside it This conversation is about becoming. About the moments when your gut whispers, “Something has to change.” About realizing you’ve been making everyone else’s life easier by making your own harder. And about finding the courage to finally listen to yourself. If you’ve ever felt torn between the life you built and the life calling you forward… this episode is for you. Maybe you’re not lost. Maybe you’re just becoming. Send in your questions for me to answer at www. laylowpod.com [http://www.laylowpod.com] Thanks for laying low with me. ❤️

The Art of New Traditions

Holidays have a way of reminding us how much life can change. In this episode of Lay Low, Erin talks about navigating holidays after divorce, missing traditions that once felt permanent, and learning how to create new memories instead of trying to recreate old ones. From solo trips on a tight budget to Christmas adventures with her boys, this episode explores how environments, travel, small rituals, and intentional moments can help us heal through seasons of change. If your holidays look different this year — because of loss, heartbreak, family changes, growing up, or simply becoming someone new — this conversation is for you. Maybe different doesn’t mean ruined. Maybe it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

The Cocoon Before the Wings

What if the quiet seasons of your life are actually preparing you for transformation? In this episode of Lay Low, Erin shares the story behind what she now calls her “cocoon season” — the months following a major breakup, becoming an empty nester, and unexpectedly finding herself alone in a way she never had before. What started as redecorating a room slowly became something much deeper: creating a safe environment to land, heal, reflect, and evolve. Through stories about butterflies, nature, solitude, and personal reinvention, this episode explores the uncomfortable but necessary spaces between who we were and who we’re becoming. This conversation is about quiet growth. About learning to sit with yourself without constant distraction or validation. About realizing that not every transformation needs to be loud to be life-changing. If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, go inward, protect your peace, or rebuild your life differently — this episode is for you.
