I recently ran out of proverbial gas when it came to my content plan.
Everything I'd planned, started on, and brainstormed felt a little off-base and a little trite, as I was, like many of us, feeling a lot of what's happening in the world.
I used these four simple ideas to remind myself that content that creates connection can be a part of positive change in the world and make an impact.
This episode isn't being shared or advertised far and wide and so it comes to those who listen dutifully and whom I'm beyond grateful to have by my side, cheering me on.

"Wealth building and financial tips will be of little use if you don't fully understand your money beliefs and attitudes." - Ed Coambs
We learn countless ideas and collect beliefs from our families about money.
Many of them are caught, and not taught. Ed Coambs shares in this podcast how our attitudes about ourselves, relationships, and money evolve from our past experiences and the attachment styles we developed as children.
Using the latest in love and brain science, as well as anecdotes from his own evolution from an insecure attachment style to a secure one, Ed Coambs shows how healthy love and money can be achieved no matter your starting point.
In this episode, we cover:
- How Ed went from Firefighter to Financial Therapist
- What led him to write his book, The Healthy Love & Money Way
- Why money is often such a hard topic to talk about and what stops couples from seeing eye-to-eye with their finances
- Where our money stories and ideas often come from (spoiler alert: many are CAUGHT, not TAUGHT)
- How knowing our money stories can improve our relationships and our lives
- What the four attachment styles are and how they relate to money and our relationships today
- How to charge what you're worth

In this episode, I share how I've taken LOTS of personality tests in my lifetime and how Kolbe is NOT that. This is an assessment of your innate nature that shows what you WILL do and helps to shine a light on how to use that as your strengths as a leader and in your relationships.
I believe there's room at the table for all personalities, learning styles, skillsets, and adaptive types, and the more lenses we have to look at ourselves and others through, the more GRACE and understanding we can extend both inward and outward.
This episode allows you a deep sigh of relief that it's OK to be you, just as you are.
- What Kolbe is and how Eryn came to discover it and start working with teams and leaders in it
- How Kolbe is unlike the classic personality tests
- What the difference is between cognitive skills, affective personality, and connative action
- The four pillars of the Kolbe: Fact Finder, Quick Start, Follow Through, and Implementor
- How knowing more about Kolbe and your score can help improve client, interpersonal, and team relationships
- Why EVERYONE wins and can tap into their strengths by finding what alignment means to them
- And more!
