At 35, Erin entered end life stage cystic fibrosis. She was preparing to die, until a last-minute medical breakthrough saved her life. But surviving was just the beginning. Rebuilding her identity, career, and purpose required a whole new mindset.

We all face moments that split our lives into before and after. A setback. A crisis. A turning point that changes everything. This keynote is about what comes next, and how to rebuild with purpose, lead with urgency, and live like it matters.

Erin shares the practical tools she once used to survive - resilience, self-advocacy, bold decision-making, and how they now help teams and leaders thrive through change. Audiences walk away with a renewed sense of clarity, courage, and actionable strategies they can use right away - in work and in life.
