The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux Erin Weidemann - CEO and Creator of Bible Belles
In this Episode:
I'm thrilled to introduce you to today's guest. Erin Weidemann has an amazing story to share. A 5-time cancer survivor, Erin is on a mission to change the world's current definition of beauty. She is focused on her "true calling" as the award-winning author of "The Adventures of Rooney Cruz" series. Through her book series, Erin teaches young girls about the Women of the Bible. She realized little girls know everything about Disney princesses but don't know anything about these historical women. Erin wanted to create powerful mentors for young girls by featuring the women of the Bible. However, before finding her purpose, Erin was on a very different path. She began her career in finance with the goal of making money and buying a home in her twenties. She achieved her goal but when she learned she had cancer, everything changed.
Key Takeaways:
