In this episode, she explores vitality through the lens of embodied entrepreneurship — not as productivity or high energy, but as a relationship with the nervous system during seasons of change. Speaking from a personal period of grief, recalibration, and quiet rebuilding, she shares reflections on learning to listen beneath reactions and lead from presence rather than pressure.This conversation invites leaders and entrepreneurs into the “moment between the moment,” where sensation, emotion, and response live. Through a somatic lens, she reflects on how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn can show up as movement patterns in the body — and how allowing energy to move can restore flow in work, creativity, and life.TOPICS EXPLORED: * The vitality pillar in embodied entrepreneurship* Nervous system recalibration through change and grief* The space between reaction and response* Push, pull, perform, and pause as somatic patterns* Letting emotional energy move through the body* Self-acceptance as a foundation for sustainable leadershipLINKS & RESOURCES:* Join The Lunar New Year Activation Ceremony* Join Reiki • Restorative • Ritual * Join The Embodied Entrepreneur waitlist* Connect with Erin on Instagram: @wildwitherin Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
In this episode, Erin explores what it really means to build a business from the body: where vitality, creativity, rhythm, and structure meet. She breaks down why entrepreneurship isn’t just strategy or branding, and why the ability to make art, make money, and make money from one’s art are three different skill sets women in business rarely get support around.Erin shares a personal lens on the entrepreneurial path through stories of moving her work online during COVID, shifting from “businesswoman” to artist, creating art, and making money for the first time. Along the way, she highlights six core themes that shape the way creative, soul-led women build in real time: vitality, expression, structure, art, cycles, and connection.This episode speaks to the woman who wants to build a business that honors her rhythm, her power, and her art — not just her to-do list.LINKS & RESOURCES:* Join The Embodied Entrepreneur waitlist* Connect with Erin on Instagram: @wildwitherin Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
We’re kicking off the year with Erin getting real about the shifts she’s been moving through since fall—the kind that shake up your identity, your work, and how you show up in life. In this episode, she gets into the juicy stuff: the money body (her term for how energy, abundance, and embodiment collide), the intuitive tweaks she’s making to her systems, and stepping more fully into her business doula groove.She also shares her seasonal ritual for checking in with herself—asking what she’s Living, Loving, Learning, Launching, Loading, and Letting go—and gives a sneak peek at the retreats and rituals coming in March and April.If you’re looking for a little inspo on trusting yourself, moving with the seasons, and stepping into your next level of work and life, this one’s for you.LINKS & RESOURCES:* Connect with Erin on Instagram: @wildwitherin Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
As you move toward a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to reinvent — to refine your brand, pivot your offers, or finally “get it right.”In this episode, Erin invites you into a more grounded and sustainable approach to growth. Rather than chasing strategies or forcing a new identity, she explores how Human Design profile numbers can support self-trust, embodiment, and aligned leadership as 2026 approaches.Human Design profiles are not presented as a business plan or personality label, but as a framework for understanding how wisdom matures over time, how your nervous system feels safe growing, and how you are designed to learn, lead, and be seen.Throughout the episode, Erin explores:* Why many entrepreneurs experience burnout when building in ways that work against their natural design* How Human Design profile numbers reveal learning styles, visibility rhythms, and relational roles* An embodied breakdown of the six profile lines and how each one approaches business and leadership* Common distortions entrepreneurs experience within each line — and how to soften out of them* Reflective prompts to support grounded, aligned growth as you look toward 2026This episode is for you if you’re craving more self-trust, nervous system safety, and sustainability in how you build. It offers permission to grow at a pace that feels stabilizing rather than performative.You’re reminded that a new year doesn’t require a new version of you — only a deeper commitment to being consistent with who you already are.* CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAM* THE WEBSITE Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
This episode explores the presence and teachings of Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic, healing, devotion, and resurrection. I share how Isis entered my field, why her energy felt significant as we transition into winter, and the core elements of her story, including themes of restoration, forgiveness, and feminine sovereignty.The episode weaves in a passage from The Sophia Code centered on forgiveness and acceptance, alongside reflections on the feminine dimension of religion and the re-emergence of goddess archetypes in the collective. The experience closes with a guided ritual inspired by Isis as written in The Sophia Code, offering space for forgiveness, acceptance, and remembrance of inner sovereignty.* CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAM* JOIN THE SEASONAL SISTER CEREMONY* THE SOPHIA CODE* WINTER RITUAL SUBSTACK Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
Winter has arrived — slower, quieter, and inviting us inward — and this episode is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to soften into the season instead of pushing through it.

This week, I’m sitting down with two soul friends; Kelsey Beesley (host of In The Body Podcast) and Lina Vallejos, for a round-table conversation on modern sisterhood — the kind that’s honest, stretchy, sometimes uncomfortable, but ultimately so grounding.We get into the real stuff no one teaches you about adult friendships:* The different categories of friends we naturally fall into (your expansion friend, your comfort friend, your mirror friend, etc.)* How to communicate like an adult without making everything dramatic* What happens when one of you grows faster, slower, or in a totally different direction* How to know when a friendship is seasonal vs. when it’s worth repairing* The moments that test a friendship… and the ones that make it feel like home* The weird grief of outgrowing versions of each other* Why sisterhood hits differently when you’re actually doing your inner work* The beauty (and challenge) of being witnessed by women who see more in you than you see in yourselfThis episode is part confession, part study, part group chat energy — the kind of conversation that makes you rethink how you show up, what you need, and what you’re no longer willing to tolerate in your friendships.If you’re in a season of redefining your inner circle, craving deeper connection, or trying to understand why your relationships feel different lately… this one is going to hit.* CONNECT WITH KELSEY ON INSTAGRAM * CONNECT WITH LINA ON INSTAGRAM * CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAM * LISTEN TO IN THE BODY PODCAST* MY MOON COLLECTIVE [SHOP IN ORILLIA]* JOIN THE SEASONAL SISTER CEREMONY Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
In this episode, we explore the ancient relationship between the menstrual cycle and the phases of the moon, and how the time of the month when we bleed can reflect different energetic expressions, archetypes, and seasons of our lives. We move through the four Moon-Blood Cycles — the White Moon (bleeding on the New Moon), the Red Moon (bleeding on the Full Moon), the Purple Moon (bleeding with the Waning Moon), and the Pink Moon (bleeding with the Waxing Moon) — and discuss what each alignment symbolizes emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. You’ll hear how each cycle holds a different form of magic and service, from nurturing and creation, to shadow work and guidance, to integration, to inspired action.We also talk about how your alignment may shift over time and how these changes can mirror personal evolution, identity transitions, and new phases of purpose. This conversation is an invitation to track your cycle with curiosity, to honor your bleed as sacred, and to reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom rather than something to manage or override.A beautiful episode for anyone exploring cyclical living, womb wisdom, intuition, or body-based spirituality.CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAMJOIN WILD REST THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET SERIESJOIN THE SOMA & SOUL LIVE WORKSHOP Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
This one’s for the teachers, facilitators, and creative wellness entrepreneurs navigating the behind-the-scenes of the wellness world — the contracts, the community values, and the sometimes messy, unspoken realities of working in this space.After more than a decade teaching and managing in studios, Erin gets real about what actually goes on behind the glossy branding of the wellness industry — from white-washed business models to misaligned leadership — and how to anchor in your authority, values, and voice.You’ll hear reflections on what it means to lead as a woman in business, advocate for yourself in contracts and rates, and build an embodied entrepreneurial path that feels rooted in integrity, not performance.CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAMJOIN WILD REST THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET SERIESJOIN THE SOMA & SOUL LIVE WORKSHOPAPPLY TO WORK WITH ERIN 1:1 Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
In this episode, Erin drops into a grounded and honest reflection on her relationship with her body and the energy of this moment in time. She explores what it means to be in a year 9 — a year of completion, release, and revolution — and how the structures we’ve built, both in the world and within our minds, are being dismantled to make space for what’s next.This conversation touches on grief, endings, and the messy beauty of letting things fall apart to rebuild from a place of deeper truth. Erin shares how a year that felt scarce transformed into one rich with human abundance and nervous system regulation — reminding us that staying rooted in the body is how we hold steady through change in life, relationship and business.

In this episode, Erin opens with a raw reflection on the current state of the world — from government systems to collective uncertainty — and why it’s more important than ever to return to the body and individual truth. When external structures feel unstable, the real power comes from reclaiming our inner compass.Through the lens of Human Design, Erin explores the seven Authorities, the unique decision-making centers that guide intuitive action. She unpacks how each Authority expresses itself, from waiting for emotional clarity to trusting gut instincts to moving with lunar cycles.Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how intuitive action isn’t one-size-fits-all, but a personal practice rooted in the body’s wisdom. This conversation is a call to cut through the noise of the outside world, trust the timing that’s right for you, and take aligned action from within.CONNECT WITH ERIN ON INSTAGRAMBOOK YOUR FALL NATUROTHERAPY SESSIONJOIN WILD REST THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET SERIESCONNECT WITH ERIN VIA E-MAIL Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe

The episode closes with an invitation to explore your core needs and what they mean for your life and relationships right now.Erin also introduces a framework of Doing, Being, Living, and Sharing as a way of understanding nervous system states—and why balance isn’t something we “achieve” but rather a personal rhythm of alignment.If you’re moving through a season of death, change, or searching for a deeper sense of self—this conversation will meet you there.Episode Connection & Resources: * Erin’s Website * Connect with Erin on Instagram * The Podcast Portal Exchange Application * September 21st Seasonal Sister Circle* Episode — Letting Go (even when it hurts like hell) Get full access to Wild With Erin at erinmarguerite.substack.com/subscribe
No one hands you a handbook for this season of life — so we’re making one, together.In the final episode of our four-part Perimenopause, Unfiltered series, I sit down once more with Cindy Schwartz — multi-passionate woman and Female Empowerment Coach — to talk about what comes after the fear, the confusion, and the silence. This conversation is about empowerment, community, and rewriting the legacy of menopause for ourselves and the women who come after us.Together, we explore how to care for ourselves in body, mind, and spirit — from food and movement, to supplements that actually matter, to reducing the hidden chemicals that disrupt our hormones. We also dive into the deeper work of building sisterhood: breaking stigma, sharing stories, and creating spaces of solidarity so no woman ever has to go through this transition alone again.Because menopause isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of elderhood, wisdom, and power — and if we rise together, we change what it means to age as women.Core message: Taking care of yourself is not indulgence — it’s survival, it’s strength, and it’s how we create the future our mothers were denied.What you’ll hear in this episode:* The nutrition, movement, and supplements that truly support hormone health and aging well* Why strength training, protein, and mobility matter more than quick fixes* The truth about supplements vs. what’s actually worth your investment* How everyday endocrine disruptors mess with our hormones — and where to look for them* The power of community: breaking silence, ending stigma, and sharing wisdom across generations* Why menopause is not an ending but a rite of passage into elderhoodEpisode Invitation: * Join the Unfiltered Women’s Gathering Waitlist Previous Episodes:* Episode 1 — No One Prepares You For This* Episode 2 — The Hormones & The Science* Episode 3 — The Lost GenerationEpisode Connection:* E-mail Cindy * Connect with Cindy on Instagram* Connect with Cindy on Linkden* Connect with Erin on Instagram* Connect with Erin on her WebsiteEpisode Resources:* PDF Cindy mentioned inside this episode This brings us to the end of our four-part Perimenopause, Unfiltered series.Across these conversations with Cindy Schwartz, we’ve unpacked the silence, the symptoms, the science, the history — and most importantly, the possibilities. What began as a raw story of confusion grew into a larger dialogue about choice, empowerment, and the communities we’re building for ourselves and for the women who will follow.Perimenopause is not the end of something — it’s the threshold of a new chapter. One where we refuse to be dismissed, where we claim the right to knowledge, and where we rise together into elderhood with strength, humor, and wisdom.If you take one thing from this series, let it be this: you are not alone, you are not broken, and your story matters.

We dive into the nitty-gritty of HRT, the myths and truths behind the controversy, and how this legacy still impacts women navigating perimenopause today.Most importantly, we open up the bigger conversation of choice — what it means to “go natural,” what it means to use medical support, and how to honor your body’s needs without shame.If you’ve ever wondered why there’s so much fear and misinformation around hormones, or felt torn between approaches, this episode will give you context, clarity, and permission to choose your own path.Core message: You’re not trapped by history.

Spoiler: the symptoms didn’t look “classic,” the emotional chaos felt like early-onset insanity, and the medical system didn’t have much to offer beyond dismissal.We connect the intergenerational dots, unpack the weird (and often invisible) signs, and talk about what it’s like to feel lost in your own body with zero language for what’s happening. Cindy also pulls back the curtain on the deep-dive research rabbit hole she fell into — the podcasts, books, and papers that helped her piece her world back together — and why this conversation is the one she wishes someone had handed her at the start.If you’re in the early “WTF is going on?” stage, this episode is your orientation, your comfort, and your permission slip to trust your experience.Core message: You’re not imagining it.
