About Erin Taylor – Certified Parent Coach Helping Families Thrive
I’m Erin Taylor—an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of four incredible children. Today, I live with deep joy and connection in my family life, but that wasn’t always the case. My journey into parent coaching was shaped by real-life challenges, grief, and a deep desire to parent with more peace, balance, and intention.
Lessons and Challenges of Early Motherhood
Like many parents, my early years of motherhood were filled with overwhelm. I often felt more stress than joy, more irritability than calm, and more resentment than ease—feelings that were especially difficult to admit after experiencing infertility and profound loss. Our first-born daughter passed away in my arms due to a congenital heart defect, a life-altering experience that forever shaped how I view parenting, love, and resilience.
That loss taught me how precious children are—but it did not magically make parenting easy or peaceful. I loved my children deeply, yet I struggled to feel present, grounded, or content.
During this season, I wore many hats: I worked part-time as a family therapist, co-founded a charity in honor of our daughter, volunteered extensively at my children’s schools, coached their sports teams, returned to school to become a certified parent coach, trained for half-marathons, and launched multiple businesses. I was even named a Superwoman of South Jersey—yet inside, I still felt depleted and disconnected.
