Hi! I am Erica and I'm known as the inspired cycle breaker because as someone who's held herself back due to societal and familial expectations and experiences, I know exactly what it's like to break the cycle and follow your dreams to create abundance and joy in your life every day.

What I am up to now is editing my non-fiction book "Why Not Me," part memoir, part how-to guide detailing my journey from poverty and survival to abundant entrepreneur, homeowner, wife, and mom.

One of the Keys to My Success is leaving Corporate America to follow my dreams of becoming a published author and entrepreneur. I fought through fear, anxiety, and depression to find my way into light and joy every day. I’m not a published author and I run a limited-service restaurant and full-service catering company that offers BBQ culinary classes.

I Grew Up in poverty. I was often homeless and food insecure. I learned that addiction and alcoholism were more important than food or a place to live, that throwing around angry words and fists were how you got anything you wanted in life, and dreams were only things you had in your sleep.

I’m on a mission to change the landscape for everyone who thinks they don’t deserve better, and this is the only way there is to live in our world. My goal is to inspire others to grow out of their learned childhood behaviors, change their mindset from broken thoughts to abundant thoughts, and create the world they dreamed of living in. I’ve moved from a fixed why me mindset to a why not me growth mindset through the power of gratitude and acceptance. Together we can fight the fear and share.

What I Love Most About What I Do Is learning something new everyday and getting to make new friends and meet new people.

When I’m not working, I spend time with my three amazing and kind children, meditating, and networking every day.
