In this deeply personal episode of Lay Low, Erin opens up about forgiveness, messy growth seasons, heartbreak, self-awareness, and learning how to let go — not just of other people, but of old versions of herself too.

Inspired by the memoir Strangers by Belle Burden, this conversation explores what happens when people evolve in different directions, relationships unravel, and life forces us to confront both the ways we’ve been hurt… and the ways we’ve hurt others.

Erin shares:

• emotional chaos during the end of her marriage
• the gray areas and guilt that came with massive personal change
• looking for love during her “Gypsy Life” era
• forgiving her ex-fiancé after betrayal and a double life
• over-giving, ignoring red flags, and trying to love someone into stability
• the difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and access
• why some people are meant for a season, not forever

This episode also answers a listener question:

“How do you let go of resentment toward someone when you know they’ve deeply hurt you or someone you love?”

Through stories, reflections, and lessons learned the hard way, Erin talks honestly about accountability, boundaries, self-forgiveness, and why growth rarely looks graceful while you’re inside it.

Because sometimes the hardest person to forgive… is yourself.
