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 14 - Spiritual AND Rich: Why You Don't Have to Choose
I used to think I had to choose.
Spiritual or successful. Purpose-driven or profitable. Heart-centered or wealthy.
Like somehow wanting money would contaminate my mission. Like charging what I'm worth would make me less aligned.
That belief kept me broke for years. And it wasn't even mine.
In this episode, I'm dismantling the lie that spirituality and wealth are opposites—and making the case for why they're actually meant to go together.
You'll hear about:
💜 The religious messages that programmed my money beliefs
💜 Why I used to apologize for my prices and give everything away
💜 The reframe that changed everything: "What if making money IS part of my spiritual path?"
💜 Why poverty isn't spiritual and broke isn't holy
💜 How I integrate spirituality INTO my business (not separate from it)
💜 6 strategies for building wealth without losing your soul
If you've ever felt guilty about wanting money... if you've been told spiritual people shouldn't care about wealth... if you think you have to choose between your soul and your success...
This episode is your permission slip to stop choosing.
Your mess is your message. Let's turn it into millions together. 💜
