Erin McInerney shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Erin, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I have really had to surrender to my days not really being mine at this stage of my life. Raising four kids ages 8, 7, 3 and 1 means someone always needs something lol it also means it’s lots of schedules to manage. Because of this, I do a lot a lot prep at night to ensure our mornings go a little smoother. But I have committed to making sure I don’t forget about myself in these chaotic times. Thanks to my Virgo moon, I know the importance of treating my body like a garden and not a dumpster, I also love a supportive wellness routine. So along side of being mom, I created a little time saving routine called “ritual stacking”. After I removed my castor oil pack and head to my kitchen, I put one some under eye patches. As I prepare food for my kids, I take a hormone balancing probiotic, an EVOO + lemon + supplements shot, a glutathione packet, a spoonful of sea moss, a spoonful of probiotic yogurt, an immunity and beauty gummie I make and two raw Brazil nuts. Then I make my morning tea. I continue to help my kids get dressed and do my morning skin routine. For our commute, which is kind of all over San Diego, I take my G4 (green goddess gut glow up) elixir and bone broth with lemon, turmeric, ginger and black pepper, (both of these are prepped the night before) to sip on. Most mornings this is how I care for myself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Erin, I am a 5th Dimensional Soul Guide, Modern Mystic and Mom to 4 New Earth Children. I am here to hold space and help souls on their healing and spiritual journeys. Myself and my business are rooted in ancient wisdom, holistic ideals and traditions and sacred esoterica. I use my gifts such as being a psychic medium, Reiki master, Theta Healer, long time astrologer, writer, experience as a Mother, writer to help others bridge the gap between the physical person they are now to the Higher Self they strive to be. I have a monthly membership and I’ve offered many courses, workshops, transformational programs, transcendences and events over the years, as well as single services like tarot medium and astrology readings and intuitive healing sessions. I’ve had to take a giant step back this year adding our fourth and last baby to the family but I’m working on not only getting my groove back but revamping my whole business structure.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I would say how people really allowed themselves to be fear mongered and brain washed during the pandemic. On the positive side, it made me really aware of myself and how important it is to question everything. On the negative side, it’s kind of a downer to see how a lot of it played out. It did it’s just dividing people in so many different ways.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Calm down lol I would tell my teenage and 20 something self to calm down and stop stressing out about such trivial things. I would tell myself as a child not to be in such a rush to grow up. Being a grown up does not equal freedom like you think it does.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
There are so many false gurus in the spiritual community. Over the last 5 years or so they’ve started to reveal themselves if you were clued in enough to catch on. As soon as I saw certain supposed spiritual leaders show political affiliation or promote the shot (which at the end of the day takes away our rights and freedoms) I knew they were false prophets. Also, many of their businesses are just pyramids that sell you the same thing over and over again and never really reveal the truth or keys so you keep coming back for more.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I would move my family to somewhere beautiful and spacious in the European country like South of France or in the country in Italy, get rid of all TV and media and truly live, eat fresh foods, all home cooked meals and actually live slow and intentional and teach this to my children.
