Erin Gallagher: The Hype Effect- When Bold Women Rise Together

 About This Episode 

In this episode, we sit down with Erin Gallagher, CEO and founder of Hype Women and author of Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems Silencing You, to explore how courage often begins quietly: choosing yourself, trusting your gut, and protecting the space you fought to create. Erin shares her journey from burnout, unpacking how to rebuild identity, reconnect with intuition, and transform anxiety into agency through presence and small, practical steps. We discuss redefining rest as a strategic resource and the power of “community by design,” where a true hype woman celebrates your wins and shows up with action. This conversation invites you to question old paths, create intentional circles, and make one small shift toward a truer, bolder life, and then share it with a friend who hypes you too.
