Thank you so much for stopping by my colorful little space on the Internet and for your support throughout the years! My name is Erin Ashley Goldman and I'm a digital creator and the founder of Iridescent Scarab. I've created content for and collaborated with brands like Happy Socks, Suja Juice, Beauty Counter, and more.

My website was originally established in 2014 and has gone through so many iterations, it gives me vertigo. From fashion and wellness to mental health, back to fashion with a touch of graphic design, something was made abundantly clear when a light bulb went off and I realized that my heart and soul truly belong to mental health advocacy.

Though my love of fashion and graphic design will remain, as trends come and go and ultimately fade, at the end of the day taking care of my mental health will always be my constant. After taking a few years' hiatus from posting regularly I missed this outlet as a form of self-expression and community. It occurred to me that by not posting and still using social media that my voice and perspective were lost. Now that I've found it I plan to use it for good.

​

My goal is to empower the emotionally intelligent and unite those struggling with mental illness by encouraging self-love, self-acceptance, inner strength, and resilience. It is also to create a safe and uplifting place for all but primarily the introverts, HSPs, and Empaths of the world. To those like me who are programmed to wear your heart on your sleeve, I'd like you to remember one thing. You are not alone.

​

A little bit about me, I suffer from Anxiety & Depression, I am an introverted Empath and HSP as well as a recovering people pleaser. I struggle with setting boundaries and when I am stressed, I'm an emotional eater. However, throughout the years I've learned that my struggles don't define me. I absolutely love pickles and smiling all the time! I'm a foodie who loves fancy cocktails and enjoying the finer things in life like art and beautiful architecture. I am obsessed with perfume and I'm a gifted Martial Artist due to eleven years of dedication to my craft. My spirituality is very important to me and I've always dreamed of changing the world for the better. This platform is where I will start, along with an army of mental health warriors.
