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 15 “I Am” — Reinventing Your Life by Rewriting Your Identity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we step into a brand new year, this chapter of Burn It Down and Begin Again begins with the two most powerful words in the human language: I am.
In this deeply personal and transformational episode, Erica explores how the words we attach to “I am” don’t just describe us — they program us. Through the science of neuroplasticity, emotional conditioning, and subconscious belief, she breaks down how identity is formed, how it can quietly limit us, and how it can be intentionally rewritten at any stage of life.
Erica shares her own raw story of losing herself in marriage, divorce, addiction, and midlife collapse — and the miraculous moment that changed everything. From surviving alcoholism and near death to rebuilding her health, relationships, career, finances, and sense of self, she walks listeners through the exact manifestation and reinvention process she used to reclaim her life.
This episode is both a story of survival and a practical guide. Erica explains, step by step, how to rewire your inner dialogue, create a manifestation practice rooted in emotion (not wishful thinking), and begin living as the version of yourself you’re becoming — even when you don’t yet know how everything will work out.
If you’re entering this year feeling ready for more, quietly exhausted, healing from loss, rebuilding after divorce, addiction, or simply sensing that your old identity no longer fits — this episode is for you.
