Guest Bio
Meet Erin, a mom of one, who has been living in the UAE for 16 years. When her aviation career ended in 2020, she quickly realized how challenging it was to find flexible work that allowed her to be a present mother and wife. Having always been financially independent, relying on her husband wasn’t the path she envisioned for herself. She ventured into entrepreneurship but soon discovered it demanded even more of her time and a constant financial investment, which didn’t align with the lifestyle she desired. While researching the best water options for her family, Erin discovered Enagic and its incredible business model, which offered the flexibility to work around her family’s schedule while earning a substantial income. Now, she’s passionate about helping women living abroad find a balance between financial independence and being present for their families.
