About Erin
The empath. She’s pure love, vulnerability, and support wrapped into one medium-sized package. She will see through to your core, make you feel seen, and provide the softest of soft places to land. To know her, is to love her. She’s smart, witty, loving, kind, and direct. A best friend. The heart and soul of the More Love Podcast.
About Rebecca
The avoider. She’s real, spontaneous, and over the top but wants nothing to do with your feelings and emotions. Hardened by time and experience, she will not mince words but boy does she have big feelings (that she keeps close to the vest). To know her, is to be intrigued. She’s smart, funny, uncomfortable, curious, and mystical. A soul sister. The grounding force of the More Love Podcast.
A shared friend invited Erin and Rebecca to an Amerk's game. Upon parking, Rebecca decided she had to pee so - much to Erin's surprise - she literally dropped her pants and peed in the corner of the parking garage.
attend the same job training
Two days later, Rebecca and Erin realize they are both working as Resident Directors and are attending the same job training.
Rebecca's tolerance for student concerns is low, so she calls Erin almost daily to discuss student issues and basically tell Erin to handle it.
In the process of planning Rebecca's wedding they discover that Erin has good ideas, but Rebecca pulls them all together (with extra glitter). This is the first time they realized they had a super-power friendship.
Under strict orders not to "make big decisions" under anesthesia after a colonoscopy, Erin applies for a PhD program, a job, and fills out an application for an apartment in the 1 hour Rebecca left to attend a staff meeting.
... In the dorms at SUNY Brockport, Rebecca decides she doesn't want to bring a child back to the residence hall and secretly applies for another job.
Consistent with her life goals, Erin saves up to buy her first home on her own. She responsibly chooses a condominium, so she does not need to take care of her own lawn care. She also bought this Amish rug, which Rebecca hated from day one.
Rebecca landed that job she applied for in higher education which also rendered her homeless (because she no longer had the perk of her RD apartment). Thanks to Erin's responsible decision making, Rebecca, her in-utero child, and her husband sublet Erin's last apartment.
In the trip of a lifetime, Rebecca, Erin, and their significant others head to Carmon De Playa, Mexico to celebrate their 30th birthdays (Erin was still 29...) Oh, and this drink was called "donkey sperm".
"You're ruining my life!", Erin exclaimed as Rebecca tells her that she's pregnant again.
While Rebecca was busy making babies, Erin was busy creating her first business venture.
Erin takes a break from career advancement and decides it's time for her to settle down.
Surprise! Looks like Baby Avery will be joining the wedding party. Or as Rebecca likes to say, "the only part of Erin's life that didn't go to plan."
With Rebecca by her side, Erin marries a man who says he has been in love with her since 9th grade.
1 month after giving birth to her son, Erin successfully defends her dissertation to become Dr. Halligan-Avery.
In true Rebecca fashion, after having her second baby she decides that she's not living the life she imagined and takes a large pay cut to take a chance on the life of her dreams. They celebrated by taking their picture outside of the strip club.
And in true Erin fashion, she continues to advance her career, earn her PhD, have her first child, and secure a wonderful job in higher education
As it did for everyone, COVID changed the way people thought about their careers, home-life, ability to balance responsibilities, and their loved ones. With COVID came crushing losses, but also opened doors.
Seven years after Rebecca leaves her stable job, it's Erin's turn to make the leap into the life they never could have imagined
Because, why not? Rebecca starting working for Erin's business (ConcernCenter) and Erin started supporting Rebecca's charity (Front Row Foundation)
