Erin Deering is an Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of global swimwear brand, Triangl.
Pioneering neoprene cuts and the influencer effect, Erin, alongside her co-founder, successfully grew Triangl into a cult status, USD$200 million-valued company. But, just like so many other women, Erin discovered that ‘having it all’ came at immense personal sacrifice. Finding herself “totally broken” by years of relentless brand growth, Erin walked away from Triangl at its peak and embarked on a period of intensive self work.
Having tried it all - meditation, manifestation, and good old-fashioned therapy - Erin emerged with a renewed sense of passion and purpose.
She has a podcast called "The Work" where she shares about business, personal development and self care.
She is a speaker, mentor and author of a memoir titled Hanging By A Thread which has charted at #1 on Booktopia.
