About me

Erin Dohan is an Accounting Controller, writer, wife and mother whose life changed in an instant when she survived a ruptured brain aneurysm at twenty-seven years old. Her memoir, I Think I’m Ready to Talk, is a raw and unfiltered exploration of recovery, identity and rediscovering herself and the purpose of life after the unimaginable. 

Drawing from her experience navigating hospitals, motherhood and the aftermath of trauma Erin writes with a blend of clarity, sensibility, witty humor and compassion that invites readers to find strength in their own stories. 

When she is not writing Erin leads financial strategy for fast paced start-up companies, mentors women in leadership, and documents moments of modern life with her husband, their son and their goldendoodle. She lives in the western suburbs of Chicago where she continues to advocate for brain aneurysm awareness and the power of open, honest conversation and the journey towards healing.
