Episode 301: Finding Success in Failure with Erin Foster
Erin Foster is the definition of authenticity, and always keeping it real while laughing (and making other people laugh) along the way. She is the Co-Founder of Favorite Daughter, a podcaster, a writer & producer (see: VH1’s “Barely Famous”), an advisor & investor, and most importantly, a daughter, sister, aunt, and wife. In our newest episode, we chat with Erin about the hardships of relationships, insecurities around status and feeling “less than,” and what it’s like launching and running a brand with her sisters (cue all the #SisterFights). In the first new episode of 2022, Erin walks us through what it was like taking a job at Bumble without having prior tech experience, feeling seriously underestimated, but finding that moment of discomfort was actually a superpower. She also shares how failures in various areas of her life (like relationships) led to successes, and the YOLO moment that led to the birth of the sister co-founded clothing brand, Favorite Daughter. The realness, relatability, and inspo knows no bounds in this episode - you don’t want to miss this one! We’ll also hear from LIVELY Ambassador Desiree Curry, who co-founded Dare 2 Be with her mom, an organization creating a safe space and community for women and girls to learn, heal, and grow. She shares her journey with mental health and healing, and how that led to her YOLO moment to create a community for women.
