S4 E6: A Little Something Extra with Erin Merryn
Episode 47
Thursday, 17 April, 2025
We are so thrilled to welcome Erin Merryn to the show! Erin is widely recognized for her activism and for pushing for legislative changes aimed at protecting children from abuse. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, she created Erin’s Law which requires that all public schools in each state implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program. Not only is she making amazing changes in the world, but she is also related to one of GiGi’s Playhouse Hoffman families! In this episode, she shares her personal story, the surprising challenges she faces getting the law passed, how she overcame the doubts from her educators, and the impactful stories from kids and adults who found the courage to speak up. Beyond her advocacy, we get to know Erin as a person, including her hobbies, her cat, and what she hopes to share with the world!
