In this raw and empowering episode of The New Monks Podcast, Erin shares her hero’s journey of awakening, healing and embodiment.Her path began in her teenage years, when she moved through the deep waters of depression but even then, something within her knew the traditional Western path wasn’t the answer. That inner knowing launched her into a lifelong exploration of the Self.In her early 20s, she began working with plant medicines, discovered yoga and eventually had a life-changing encounter with breathwork during a retreat. It was breathwork that unlocked buried layers of unprocessed childhood pain, allowing her to release long-held anger and sadness and meet herself fully for the first time.Now a teacher of breathwork, Erin offers the medicine of the breath from her own lived experience: rooted in sovereignty, self-responsibility and somatic wisdom.We explore: navigating teenage depression as a spiritual initiation, turning away from traditional medicine and trusting intuition, the healing power of plant medicine, yoga, and breathwork, meeting the inner child through somatic practice, teaching from the body, not just the mind, living in sovereignty and honoring emotional truth www.parthe.one
