Keep Being Amazing and Keep Rising Bestie
Hey besties — welcome back to another episode of Unapologetically Empowered.
If you’re new here, I’m Erica — trauma survivor, life coach, mama, wife, and a woman who’s been knocked down more times than I can count… and guess what? I’m still standing.
This episode? It’s not your typical polished pep talk. It’s real.
I haven’t had the surgery yet… and honestly? I’m scared. Like full-body, can’t-sleep, overthinking-everything kind of scared. But here’s the truth — I’m still showing up. I’m still creating. I’m still building programs for my community that will hold you when I can’t. Because I’m not going anywhere.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on:
💬 What it’s like to wait for a major front-of-neck surgery
💬 How I keep showing up when fear wants to shut me down
💬 The real talk on vulnerability, courage, and creating through the unknown
💬 Why you don’t need to be “healed” to help others
💬 A reminder that fear doesn’t disqualify you from your purpose
✨Takeaways You’ll Love:
I haven’t had the surgery yet, and I’m scared.
You don’t need to be healed to be worthy.
Fear doesn’t make you weak — it makes you real.
You can be in the waiting… and still rise.
I refuse to disappear — even when I’m healing.

Yep, life knocked me flat, and I’m bringing you right into the messy middle of it.
This isn’t your typical “I overcome” story. This is raw, unfiltered, and happening in real time. I’m sharing what it feels like to sit with fear, uncertainty, and hard decisions… and how I’m learning to choose myself and talk myself through hard choices.

I talk about:💥 How fear hijacks your mind & body
💥 The weight of making life-changing decisions
💥 Why vulnerability is real power
💥 How to build resilience even when you’re terrified
This is the truth about personal growth, mental health, life coaching, and empowerment — not the filtered version.

Are You Living or Just Existing?
In this episode of Unapologetically Empowered, I come in hot with a wake-up call: Are you really living... or just existing?
I get real about how staying in your comfort zone is actually one of the most dangerous things you can do. You think you're being smart, responsible, or realistic — but what you're really doing is stalling. And bestie, your dreams don’t live in that safety net.
Tune in as I break it down:
Why your comfort zone is where dreams go to die
The brain’s sneaky tricks that keep you stuck
What 90% of people regret at the end of their lives
Why failure isn’t the enemy — hesitation is
The real difference between people who succeed and those who don’t
This episode isn’t about hype. It’s about truth. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” — this is it.
