Welcome to Inspire Saratoga!
In the first episode of the 5th season, I sat down with Erin Fortin, owner of Erin Fortin Photography on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, helping brands and businesses transform their visual presence and building deeper connections with their audiences.
Life took a very drastic turn in 2024 for Erin after she survived a stroke during a run, which was followed by open heart surgery.
In this episode, Erin shares her journey from a healthy marathon runner to surviving a stroke and undergoing open heart surgery. She discusses the importance of community support, proactive health measures, and her advocacy for women's heart health through the American Heart Association.
