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.

Chapter 10: Becoming Your Own Biggest Fan
Chapter 10: Becoming Your Own Biggest Fan
In this chapter of Burn It Down and Begin Again, Erica takes us on one of the most transformational journeys of all — the journey back to self-belief.
From growing up in a home shaped by chaos and codependency to surviving addiction, emotional abuse, and rock-bottom moments, Erica shares what it really took to become her own champion. Not in a surface-level, self-help cliché way — but in the raw, gritty, and sacred process of rebuilding her identity from the ashes.
This episode isn’t about ego. It’s about honor. It’s about showing up for yourself the way you’ve always shown up for others. Because the relationship you have with yourself? It shapes everything.
You’ll hear:
- Why so many women were never taught how to emotionally support themselves
- How being your own biggest critic keeps you stuck in survival mode
- The humble (and humiliating) rebuild — from working at Costco to owning a home alone
- The power of vision boards, daily self-talk, and micro-wins
- And the most beautiful, unexpected moment with her son — proving that when you heal yourself, you change the story for everyone you love
This is a love letter to every woman who ever doubted her worth. A battle cry for anyone rising alone. And a sacred reminder that you don’t need anyone else’s permission to take up space in your own life.
Your story matters. Your wins matter. And so do you.
