About Erica “The Queen of Teen”

Born in Rocky Point, Long Island, New York, Erica made the bold move to California during her senior year of high school — a shift that would spark a lifelong journey of resilience, reinvention, and purpose. A multi-sport athlete, she went on to play several sports in college and earned the title of Walk-On MVP for Westmont College’s soccer team, where she later graduated with a degree in Economics and Business.

After nearly 30 years coaching youth athletes, Erica launched TeenSportsRadio — a vibrant radio show and podcast that has become a powerful platform for teens, nonprofits, and local businesses across Santa Barbara and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, she has donated over $1 million in free advertising back to the community, turning the spotlight on hundreds of youth and community voices that might otherwise go unheard.

Erica is the published author of seven children’s books (available on Amazon) and an accomplished abstract artist — with her work showcased at www.ezepiphanyart.com. Her creative spirit, matched with a fierce commitment to service, fuels everything she does. She actively raises funds for www.SBWellness.org, volunteers with the Theosophical Books for the Blind, Inc., and feeds the unhoused in her community each week. As a growing influencer and conscious media leader, Erica continues to expand TeenSportsRadio, now ranked among the Top 25 in Health and Fitness on iHeartRadio.

2025.07.01 TSR ~ Cosmic Consciousness

In this segment of Teen Sports Radio, Dominique Hackett from Santa Barbara Wellness Center explores using astrology and tarot as tools for athletic performance and self-understanding. Key points include:


- Astrology as an "energy map" that reveals personal patterns and potential

- Using birth charts to understand competitive nature, emotional responses, and training styles

- Moon cycles and their impact on athletic performance and emotional states

- Tarot as a reflective tool for gaining clarity, focus, and intention before competitions

- Emphasizing that athletes are "stardust and sneakers" - connected to cosmic energy and personal rhythm


The core message is that understanding yourself through cosmic tools can help athletes train more effectively, manage emotions, and unlock their inner champion.

About Erica “The Queen of Teen”

Born in Rocky Point, Long Island, New York, Erica made the bold move to California during her senior year of high school — a shift that would spark a lifelong journey of resilience, reinvention, and purpose. A multi-sport athlete, she went on to play several sports in college and earned the title of Walk-On MVP for Westmont College’s soccer team, where she later graduated with a degree in Economics and Business.

After nearly 30 years coaching youth athletes, Erica launched TeenSportsRadio — a vibrant radio show and podcast that has become a powerful platform for teens, nonprofits, and local businesses across Santa Barbara and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, she has donated over $1 million in free advertising back to the community, turning the spotlight on hundreds of youth and community voices that might otherwise go unheard.

Erica is the published author of seven children’s books (available on Amazon) and an accomplished abstract artist — with her work showcased at www.ezepiphanyart.com. Her creative spirit, matched with a fierce commitment to service, fuels everything she does. She actively raises funds for www.SBWellness.org, volunteers with the Theosophical Books for the Blind, Inc., and feeds the unhoused in her community each week.
