Mess to Millions
What if your rock bottom was actually the foundation for your empire?
Welcome to Mess to Millions, the unfiltered podcast where trauma becomes triumph, breakdowns turn into breakthroughs, and pain fuels serious profit. Hosted by Erica Carrico, cancer survivor, single mom, recovering perfectionist, and proof that sometimes you have to fall apart to finally fall into place.
Eight years ago, cancer gave Erica an ultimatum: change or die. What followed was her “life explosion era”: divorce, job loss, and starting over from scratch. The twist? Losing everything became the catalyst for building a multimillion-dollar purpose-driven business and helping over a million people discover that their hardest chapters can unlock their greatest comebacks.
This show is for women who have survived what should have broken them, who are done with toxic positivity, and who are ready to believe their mess can become their million-dollar message.
Each week, Erica goes deep into the stories we usually whisper about: childhood trauma, burnout, divorce, toxic relationships, business failures, and how to alchemize all of it into abundance. Expect raw conversations, healing strategies, business wisdom, and yes, a few tears (the good kind). Because transformation isn’t always pretty… but it is powerful.
Your biggest disasters might be your most valuable education. Your deepest wounds might hold your greatest wisdom. And your story? It’s not just your superpower, it could be someone else’s survival guide.
Subscribe now to Mess to Millions and join us in rewriting what success really looks like.
Because your breakdown might just be your breakthrough.

EP 07 - My Divorce Glow-up: How Leaving My Marriage Made Me Millions
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let go.
For years, I tried to make it work with someone on a completely different path. I craved depth and soul-level connection. He wanted surface and safety. Two unhealed hearts drinking away the disconnection, traveling to avoid the truth.
The breaking point: my son said he was shocked that married people sleep in the same bed. We'd been in separate rooms so long he thought that was normal.
So I chose me.
In this episode, I share what blossomed after I honored my truth:
💜 Finding myself again after years of being lost
💜 Releasing alcohol and discovering clarity
💜 Opening to unexpected love (including falling for a woman)
💜 Creating a sanctuary home that truly holds me
💜 Building thriving abundance on my own terms
💜 Learning I am completely whole on my own
My children are flourishing because they have a mama who's fully alive.
If you're shrinking, if you're dying inside, if your soul is whispering that something needs to change—this episode is for you.
This is about what grows when you stop abandoning yourself and finally come home to your own soul.
My book, Awaken Your Purpose, is the 28-day framework that has helped thousands of people discover their life purpose and live an aligned life.
