I SEE YOU, FRIEND.

You did everything you were taught to do.
You worked hard. You stayed loyal. You kept going.
And by most measures, your life looks successful.

​But somewhere along the way, something shifted.

​

This season of your life feels heavier...
​

Not because you’re failing,

but because the strategies that once helped you survive are no longer sustainable.

​

You’re carrying the tension between:

Who you had to be to get here, and

Who your body, spirit, and truth are asking you to become now

 

And it’s exhausting.
​

What you’re experiencing isn’t a lack of motivation or discipline.
It’s the cost of living in overdrive for too long —
carrying inherited narratives, unspoken expectations,

and invisible pressure without enough support.

​

Narratives shaped by patriarchy, racism, misogyny,

and respectability politics taught you to:

Override your body,

Silence your needs,

Earn your rest,

And mistake urgency for purpose.

 

No wonder your system is tired.

​

Here’s what I want you to know:

You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need another overhaul.
And you don’t need to push harder to become “better.”

You need space.
You need regulation.
You need rhythms that support your capacity, not drain it.

​

There is a version of you that is grounded, clear, and powerful.


She doesn’t emerge through force.


She emerges when your inner life is supported well enough to hold her.​

What's It Like to Work with Me?

“It was hard work. It was hard to accept that I was unwilling to let go of some stuff as a matter of principle… Erika helped me be curious about those principles... It took me a few days to recover from the realization of what I was allowing to control me. Erika helped me replace that old stuff with values that I hadn’t been able to articulate before. I am discovering what it means to be authentically me… I didn't know I wasn’t being that before”.
