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 14: A Sacred Pause Before the Next Beginning
As the year comes to a close, this chapter of Burn It Down and Begin Again is a pause — a moment of honesty, gratitude, and self-compassion.
In this heartfelt end-of-year episode, Erica reflects on the journey of healing, rebuilding, and reclaiming life after trauma, while also naming something many women feel but rarely admit: burnout. With the holidays in full swing and pressure coming from every direction, Erica opens up about anxiety, exhaustion, and the reality of carrying too much for too long — even when life is full of blessings.
This episode isn’t about giving up. It’s about listening to your body, honoring your limits, and choosing to step back so you can move forward with intention. Erica shares why she’s taking a short hiatus until January 6th, what this year has taught her about resilience and reinvention, and how midlife can be the beginning of something entirely new — not the end.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly questioning how to keep going, this episode is a reminder that rest is not failure, reflection is not weakness, and healing doesn’t require perfection — only commitment to yourself.
