Breaking Free: A Mom’s Pivot from Traditional Business to Online Freedom

Why Erin Walked Away from the Hustle to Build a More Aligned, Present Life

What happens when climbing the ladder no longer feels like success?

In this episode of Mom Bosses Abroad, we sit down with Erin Paturzo, a mom living in the UAE who went from aviation to traditional entrepreneurship to finally finding freedom through a purpose-driven, online business that fits her family.

 When the Old Model Stops Working

After leaving her corporate career in aviation, Erin tried building a traditional business. But instead of finding flexibility, she found herself trapped in a cycle of constant effort, high overhead, and even more time away from her family.

It didn’t feel like success. It felt like survival.

As she searched for a better solution—one that aligned with her health values and desire for more presence at home—she discovered Enagic and the Kangen Water business model.

From Hustle to Harmony

What Erin wanted wasn’t more hustle. It was harmony.

She wanted to:

• Stay home with her son and still contribute financially
  
  
• Make aligned income without constant reinvestment
  
  
• Choose when, how, and with whom she worked
  
  

Enagic gave her all that and more. It offered a path to true flexibility, without giving up her independence or her values.

Why the Business Model Mattered

What drew Erin in wasn’t just the water—it was the simplicity and heart behind the business model:

• No monthly overhead or inventory
  
  
• A product that truly makes a difference
  
  
• A community of women also redefining what "success" looks like
  
  

She saw the opportunity not just to make money—but to make meaning.

From "Too Late" to Perfect Timing 

So many women ask, Is it too late for me to pivot?
But Erin is proof that the moment you choose alignment, it’s always the right time.

She didn’t have a big audience. She didn’t come in with a plan. She just came with an open mind, a strong why, and the courage to try.

Now she’s supporting other women living abroad to do the same—and proving that freedom is possible, even after life has pulled you in many directions.
