Her journey starts in Ohio and winds through ranching and dry farming in the Jalama Valley in California, many National Parks, motherhood, graphic design, and leads her to where she stands now: at the precipice of attempting the summit of Mt. Rainier. We talk about why we chase our dreams - whether they\u2019re mountains, art, or just a life guided by wanderlust. Our conversation leads us to look at life through the lens of motherhood and the lessons we impart to our children that we could probably stand to learn ourselves. Throughout the conversation, we hit on values that guide her life - things like freedom, bravery, curiosity, and creativity. We dive into her passion for tracking megafauna and how it led her to buy a piece of property where she\u2019s building a cabin in Montana. Through all the time she\u2019s spent in nature, we talk about how nature has the ability to bring a sense of peace and calm to highly sensitive people, and we have a detailed conversation about both of our experiences as HSP\u2019s. This is a rollicking conversation and Erin\u2019s wisdom and zest for life is contagious.\r\n\nWe also talk about:\r\n\n\n Erin\u2019s work as a freelance graphic designer\r\n\n Problem solving\r\n\n Learning to mountaineer\r\n\n and so much more!\r\n\n\nResources:\r\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/butterbeanstudios/ (@butterbeanstudios)\r\n\nWebsite: https://www.butterbeanstudios.com/ (butterbeanstudios.com)\r\n\nFurther Reading:\r\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NU5WL72/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8andbtkr=1 (Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen)\r\n\nhttps://bookshop.org/books/the-highly-sensitive-person-how-to-thrive-when-the-world-overwhelms-you/9780553062182?gclid=CjwKCAjw4ayUBhA4EiwATWyBriTghx18gGnrKfT0Qt2swA4AimrLmPxJu0Df8dFREolZzU8_QygIexoCSakQAvD_BwE (The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron )\r\n\nOther Mentions:\r\n\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-self-with-africa-brooke/id1508176184?i=1000548072833 (Identifying Your Values with Africa Brooke)\r\n\nhttps://www.griphs.com/daniel-curry.html (Daniel Curry)\u2019s work\r\n\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tooth-claw-true-stories-of-animal-attacks/id1530064872 (The Tooth and Claw Podcast)\r\n\nCover Photo by Trever Stolte\r\n\nCurrent Discounts for GW listeners:\r\n\n\n 15% off http://farmtrue.com/ (Farm True) ghee and body care products using code: KATEKAV15\r\n\n\nJoin the Ground Work Collective:\r\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/groundworkcollective/ (@groundworkcollective)\r\n\nFind a Farm: nearhome.groundworkcollective.com\r\n\nMore: groundworkcollective.com\r\n\nPodcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: https://groundworkcollective.com/disclaimer (groundworkcollective.com/disclaimer)\r\n\nhttp://groundworkcollective.com/2022/05/24/episode12-erin-pata (Episode Website)\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4ea0a25b-c855-4331-ae3b-29ce5b14a6c0/2493383-1653349499993-51448628177e5.jpg"}
