1. THE HOOK

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build becomes the very thing keeping you from living?

2. THE EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In our very first episode, we're pouring a Paloma and unpacking the last eight months of my life.

From walking away from corporate America to redefining success, rebuilding my health, and realizing that sometimes the benefits of staying are the very things keeping you stuck.

This isn't just a career-change story. It's about what happens when you finally choose yourself.

3. IN THIS EPISODE, WE'RE POURING INTO:

• The moment I realized something needed to change
• Why corporate benefits almost convinced me to stay
• Rebuilding my health, identity, and capacity
• What getting my spark back actually cost me
• Choosing alignment over perceived security

4. THIS WEEK'S FIRST POUR

Until the next pour… 🥂

The bar is officially OPEN… well, almost. 😉

Welcome to Pour Me A Story with Erin Mikayla, where every pour has a story, conversations go beyond surface level, and nothing is off the table.

In this official trailer, I'm giving you a little taste of what's to come. From entrepreneurship and building a legacy to wellness, regenerative collaborations, client transformations, and the beautifully unhinged stories that make us human.

Expect raw conversations, real experiences, guest features, water testimonies, cocktails (and mocktails), and plenty of moments that'll have you questioning whether we really just said that out loud.

We're pouring into more than just a glass over here.

🥂 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 24!

Our first official episode drops October 24, and we're celebrating my BIRTHDAY together!

Consider this your personal invitation to pull up a barstool, grab your favorite beverage, and celebrate launch day with me.

Until then, let's connect!

Follow along for behind-the-scenes content, launch announcements, cocktail recipes, and everything happening before our first official pour.
