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 8 – The Silent System: Misogyny, Safety & Speaking the Truth
Chapter 8 – The Silent System: Misogyny, Safety & Speaking the Truth
Description:
Misogyny isn’t just an old-fashioned idea — it’s still alive in the subtle expectations and unspoken rules that shape women’s lives every day.
In this powerful and deeply personal chapter of Burn It Down & Begin Again, Erica shares a story that hits close to home: her daughter’s recent assault by a rideshare driver and the painful aftermath that revealed how deeply misogyny still runs through our culture. From victim-blaming to corporate silence, she exposes how women’s pain is too often dismissed, minimized, or hidden — and why that has to change.
Erica unpacks:
🔥 The unspoken ways misogyny still shapes women’s safety and voices
🔥 The staggering statistics behind rideshare assaults — and why most go unreported
🔥 How cultural conditioning teaches women to downplay danger and self-blame
🔥 Why systems protect predators instead of survivors
🔥 The power of women sharing their stories to break silence and reclaim agency
This isn’t just an episode — it’s a wake-up call. Because misogyny may be centuries old, but so is women’s resilience. And when one woman speaks, she gives others permission to rise, heal, and burn the silence down.
