In this milestone episode, Erin reflects on what it really means to show up consistently — as a podcaster, a leader, and a community builder. After 100 episodes, she’s learned that the pursuit of success is rarely about one big moment, it’s about the quiet, steady rhythm of doing the right things over and over again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why 100% occupancy is a byproduct, not the goal
• What consistency in podcasting taught Erin about consistency in leadership
• How to lead your community like you’re playing the long game, with intentional action, not reactive hustle
• The mindset shift that turns discouragement into momentum
• How to define success by what you build in yourself, not just your census

Key Quote

“I thought 100% occupancy was the win, but it was really about becoming the kind of leader who creates it, not chases it.”

Whether you’re at the beginning of your leadership journey or stuck in the messy middle, this episode is a powerful reminder that consistency, aligned with purpose, is the compound interest of leadership.

Show up. Build trust. Stay the course. Let’s go.

In this episode of Aspire for More with Erin, we dive deep into one of the most urgent challenges facing the senior living industry: the retention crisis among Executive Directors and administrators. Erin is joined by Blair Quasnitschka, a seasoned senior living leader and board member of the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA), for a real and refreshing conversation about how we can stop burning out our brightest leaders before they have a chance to shine.

Together, they unpack:

✅ Why “sink or swim” doesn’t work in today’s complex leadership roles
✅ What mentorship actually looks like when done right
✅ How to create growth environments with grace for new leaders
✅ The power of emotional intelligence in retaining talent
✅ How operators and companies can rethink onboarding, support, and development

If you’ve ever asked:
🔹 “Why do we keep losing great leaders?”
🔹 “How do I support a struggling ED without taking over?”
🔹 “Where do mentorship and margin intersect?”

Then this episode is for you.

Whether you’re a senior living operator, mentor, aspiring leader, or passionate advocate for this field — this conversation will challenge your assumptions and inspire change.
