About this listen

 If you've ever asked yourself these questions… How can I love myself? How can I move on from my past? How can I get rid of shame and guilt? How do I find my purpose or passion? How do I live a meaningful life? How can I increase my self-confidence? You're Not a Bad Person is the podcast that can provide clarity and answers to all of these questions. In this podcast, Erica is going to bring awareness to subjects that are uncomfortable to talk about. Some of these subjects are stigmatized, and/or controversial. She openly shares her own secrets and experiences around her past, some of which include business failures, mental health struggles, and failed relationships. Erica is an open book; her stories will feel relatable, and her lessons will be valuable. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll leave feeling inspired. You're Not a Bad Person will teach you how to step into the most authentic version of yourself. The version of you that is shame free and owns every part of themselves. Your past does not define you, and every single one of us deserves to live a life of abundance, shame-free. We have all done things we're not proud of, and we all have secrets. We've experienced guilt and have struggled with our identities. It doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you human.
