Burn It Down & Begin Again
Hosted by Erica, Burn It Down & Begin Again is a raw, soul-baring podcast about what happens when the life you built burns to the ground — and the woman who rises from the ashes stronger than ever.
This is more than a story of survival. It’s a journey of truth-telling, healing, and radical reinvention. Erica opens with her own chapters of addiction, abuse, betrayal, and breakdowns — not to dwell on the past, but to light the way forward. From there, the podcast shifts into rebuilding and manifesting the life you want, surviving and healing from codependency and narcissism, reclaiming your voice, and learning how to stand in your power as the woman you were always meant to be.
Each episode unpacks a piece of the path back to wholeness: untangling toxic relationships, setting boundaries, rewriting old narratives, and creating a life filled with strength, purpose, and joy. Erica doesn’t sugarcoat the pain — but she shows how to use it as fuel.
If you’ve ever felt silenced, isolated, or like no one could possibly understand what you’ve been through — this podcast is for you.
This is about remembering your worth. Reclaiming your voice. And rebuilding a life that feels like truth.
Part of the Chickology™ podcast collective — real women telling real stories to break cycles, rise in power, and reclaim what was stolen.

Chapter 4 The Fairy Tale That Failed Us: Reclaiming Love, Power & Self-Worth
Chapter 4 - The Fairy Tale That Failed Us: Reclaiming Love, Power & Self-Worth
Description:
What if everything you believed about love, worth, and being “chosen” was never yours to begin with?
In this chapter of Burn It Down & Begin Again, Erica peels back the layers of cultural conditioning, Disney fantasies, and internalized beliefs that shaped her understanding of love — and ultimately left her lost in a life she no longer recognized.
This episode is not about bitterness. It’s about clarity. It’s about burning down the scripts we were handed and finally beginning again on our own terms.
Erica unpacks:
- How Disney princesses and 1950s ideals shaped our view of love and self-worth
- Why so many women lose themselves in “being chosen”
- The silent grief of invisible labor, emotional burnout, and unreciprocated love
- The financial and emotional cost of midlife divorce
- Why choosing peace and wholeness can be the new happily ever after
- How we begin rewriting the narrative — for ourselves and our daughters
If you’ve ever felt unseen in your own relationship, stuck in a story that doesn’t fit, or ready to reclaim the pen and write your own ending — this episode is for you.
Because love shouldn’t hurt. And your story deserves a better ending than the one they wrote for you.
