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.
