About Beaten to badass & Erin Baer

Erin Baer is an engaging entrepreneur and lives her passions as an Author, Speaker and Empowerment Coach. Being a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, Erin began telling others her story of grace and grit on her road to recovery. This sharing of her personal story became the basis for her book, “From Beaten to Badass”. The powerfully worded personal memoir gives readers the strength, hope, and courage to keep going and become the BADASS human beings they were always meant to be. Erin also founded the organization Beaten to Badass to empower and support those who have been beaten down by life. Her life’s work is to enable beaten down and silenced humans to once again be strong, courageous, and proud. Erin decided to be the positive voice to show beaten-down and silenced people that their circumstances don’t define them, that they don’t need to be beaten down in life, and that they too can be their own heroes. 

Through her coaching and speaking, Erin encourages you to look within yourself where you will find the power to unleash the badass in you. You may feel defeated and feel life is unfair by the cards you were dealt. However, the only way you lose is if you don’t learn and you don’t get back up. You are a badass!

In 2020, we were inspired by the incredible need for support to take giving back one step further. That’s when we realized that the Shelters needed support to enable the transformation of survivors from living in the cycle of abuse to becoming successful, independent human beings. That’s how the “Beaten to Badass Make an Impact in 2020 Campaign” started. People sponsor the book, which is then sent to a shelter in America. Through the generosity of sponsors, we have been able to reach over 530 shelters across the United States, 2 internationally which helps change lives forever. As a community we have fully sponsored 16 states and Puerto Rico to date. As one we can only do so much, yet together the possibilities are endless.
