Erica Rimlinger was scolded all through her childhood to cease telling tales. However, she continued. Erica holds a grasp’s diploma in journalism from the College of Maryland and has spent her 25-year profession telling tales for shoppers which have ranged from nonprofit organizations to firms, and from magazines to America’s Most Needed.
Primarily based in Seattle, Erica is an avid hiker and backpacker and is overcoming a concern of heights to study mountaineering, with blended outcomes up to now. Her favourite a part of writing for HealthyWomen.org is sharing tales of girls who’ve overcome large adversity and gone on to advocate for themselves and others. Erica believes telling tales is what helps us make sense of life and all its joys and travails. She believes each lady has a narrative — and we should always by no means cease telling them.
