About Erin Baer

SHARING HER PERSONAL STORY became the basis for Erin Baer’s first  book, From Beaten to Badass. The powerfully  worded memoir gives readers the strength, hope, and courage to keep going and become  the badass they were always meant to be. 

Seeing women being silenced for  wanting to be strong, courageous, and  proud of who they are, while moving on from feeling beaten down  by life, Erin decided to be a positive voice, providing an example  whereby circumstances do not define us and that we, too, can be  our own heroes. Through her writing, coaching, and speaking,  Erin encourages women to look within where they will find their  power to unleash the badass within. 

Erin is the founder of the organization Beaten to Badass, dedicated to empowering those who have been beaten down by life, whether it be by domestic violence, sexual assault, bullying,  abandonment, infertility, or however life beats them down. Beaten to Badass exists to start the conversation, raise awareness, give  back, and implement change. 

If you are feeling defeated, or feel life is unfair by the cards you  were dealt, the only way you lose is if you don’t learn and you don’t  get back up. You are a Badass! Erin was inspired by others’ stories  to create her first anthology, The Badass Within. Fifteen women  share their personal, real, and courageous stories that detail their  sadness, joy, and strength. Through sharing their stories, they  release the chains of the past and unleash the badass within. Their  hope is that readers will be inspired to discover their own badass within and let her shine. 

Erin’s second anthology, Graceful Growth, was created from the recovery process from several losses in her own life and in the lives of the six contributing authors. You will discover how each  one of these women turned within, found her inner compass, and  grew gracefully from losses they thought they might never survive. 

Her latest book, You Are More Than Your Sport  takes a good look into her life during her college years as an athlete.  After a season-ending injury, Erin Baer had to look herself in the mirror  and discover who she was without golf. What she found by sitting  in the blue chair in her counselor’s office opened her world to an  untapped strength. She found resiliency through discovering who she  was beyond the thing that she thought defined her. 

Erin's life experience has taught her the hard lessons of being a survivor,  becoming resilient, and ultimately making her an advocate for mental health and causes that are close to her. She is  now a thriving entrepreneurial badass who lives  her passions as a best-selling author, speaker,  and coach helping others realize and embrace that YOU ARE MORE.  

Erin holds her BSBA in Business Administration from  Rockhurst University and an MBA in Business Management  from Avila University. She is now a thriving entrepreneurial badass  who lives her passions as a best-selling author, speaker, and coach.  Erin has contributed to many book collaborations, including Hold  My Crown, Overcoming Heart Blocks, Healing and Growth, and  Graced for Prosperity. As with all of Erin’s projects, a portion of  the proceeds go to empowering organizations. She lives  in Colorado with her husband, Zach, and their four cats, Taco,  Kodak, Leela, and Breckenridge.
