S1/Ep8 Erinn Iorio On Connecting With What Comes Natural, Following Your Curiosity, and The Mind-Body Connection


Life is always leaving clues for us related to our purpose — sometimes we might just be too busy to notice or too skeptical to consider them as truth. Things that come natural to us, that feel effortless, that are almost *too* easy — we oftentimes dismiss them, questioning their validity and searching for other opportunities that fit a different (more challenging or more traditional) mold. Erinn Iorio joins Ewelina on the podcast to share her story around how she honored the clues in her life to steer her on a different path, one that involved starting her own massage practice as a new mom. Erinn shares the details around how she got connected to massage therapy, how she knew to start her own business, the connection to curiosity that keeps her showing up everyday through her work and the unique mind-body approach she leverages in her practice (and so much more!)
