About this episode

In Episode 38, we are joined by our special guest Erim Kaur, the big sister you never knew you needed. 

Erim opens up about losing her mom at the age of 8, growing up without any sisters and being raised by her father and grandparents.

Using her life experiences and her past childhood, Erim is now stepping into the role of big sister, helping those who grew up without a mother or sister, navigate life. She hosts Sister Sundays, which focus each week on different topics like relationships, dealing with conflict and self love. 

When it came to finding her purpose on social media, Erim says she didn't set out to become this big sister, but instead it grew out of necessity and her supporters giving her this inspiring role. Erim's supporters began looking up to her and her practices before she even realized her purpose. 

We also talk about Erim's faith and how she's choosing to honor her Sikh beliefs. Coming from a community that remains misrepresented, Erim is working to bring the Sikh people into the spotlight and highlighting all of their accomplishments.

Erim also shares with us her new and exciting project! If you've got damaged hair, listen up! Erim gives us the inside scoop into her new business venture, By Erim. As a child, her grandmother used to apply  oil treatments to Erim's hair to help her achieve the long, healthy locks her mother had before her passing. And now, Erim is sharing that secret potion with the world. We can't wait to get our hands on a bottle! 

We hope this episode provides young women out there who grew up without any female figures to find solace in the content that Erim shares. She has expressed how this social media community is a two way street and the bonds that have been created are irreplaceable!
