My Journey

PART 1: THE CHILDHOOD OF A CURIOUS EXPLORER

My journey of exploration began at a young age: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa surrounded by nature and wide-open spaces. My love for nature grew as well as my fascination with the mystery of life.

I grew up in a family that encouraged the pursuit of our interests. My dad and I would often get the telescope out and gaze at the stars, discussing the deep mysteries of life. I was an open-minded child who questioned everything about life: how our society is set up, current ways of thinking, how women are treated and viewed, religion, plant medicine and more. I mean, everything in our reality was once a thought, idea, or perspective — isn’t that wild?

“While I was in high school, my mother fell into a deep depression. I watched her go through the system… none of it helped. I deeply wanted to help my mom, and others like her, move forward in a different way.”

While I was in high school, I witnessed my mother fall into a deep depression. I had no idea at the time, but she had had a very traumatic and abusive childhood that was still affecting her current reality. She suffered flashbacks, PTSD, depression and more. I watched her go through the current system of therapists, psych wards and prescription meds, but none of it helped. It was a heartbreaking process to witness.

I deeply wanted to help my mom and others like her move forward in a different way. I thought to myself, there has to be different modalities to help people heal and move forward. To me, it began by looking at our biology: How do we work? How can we support our biology to work for us and not against us? Where is trauma stored?

Thus began my lifelong quest to understand and learn about different ways to help others move forward — and I’m still learning every single day!

PART 2: FROM COLLEGE TO CLIMBING THE
CORPORATE LADDER

After high school I attended college and double majored in Genetics and Microbiology from Iowa State University — and this is where I fell deeper in love with science. Learning about the biology of humans and plants fueled my passions! During my time in college, I realized I wanted to learn more about working with my own biology so I signed up to work with a holistic bodybuilding coach, then competed in two natural bodybuilding shows. This helped me learn how to eat properly, build muscle, and the importance role exercise plays in our body-mind system.

After college, I did the thing everyone does — find a job. I worked in the environmental field for seven years and worked my way up the “ladder” to which point I was managing 14 states and making multiple six figures. On paper it looked like a dream life, but inside I felt a deep unhappiness, loads of stress, and I was having trouble sleeping. I asked myself, what’s happening? Is this how life’s supposed to be? Am I supposed to just work in the system, retire… and that’s it?

“Feeling deeply dissatisfied with the corporate lifestyle,
I wanted more freedom, authenticity and to live my life my way.”

“Feeling deeply dissatisfied with the corporate lifestyle, I wanted more freedom, authenticity and to live my life my way.”

Feeling deeply dissatisfied with the corporate lifestyle, I realized I wanted more freedom, authenticity, and to live my life my way instead of how society was telling me to live it. I had followed this path laid out before me (and I do not regret it one bit) but I was ready to create my own way.

I followed my passion by becoming certified as a Life & Wellness Coach through the Human Potential Institute in 2019. This training set me up to help people reach their potential in all areas of life, bio-hacking and improving overall health.

I realized that in order for me to become an amazing coach, I needed to invest in my own well-being. During this time, I invested in my own coach to help me (and she has been my mentor since 2018!). Thanks to my knowledge and working with a coach, I dramatically improved my health which increased my quality of life!

Looking back, this was a pivotal moment in time. A fork in the road. I am so glad I followed my passions and worked with my own coach. It changed everything.

“Ericka helped me get clear on my values, then gave me the tools to live with confidence and freedom.

A rarity in the coaching world, Ericka leads from the inside out, rather than the outside in. She gets to the heart and soul of good living by helping you get clear on what matters most. After a big life transformation, Ericka helped me get clear on my values then gave me the tools to live with confidence and freedom within the context of these values. I’ve recommended her for speaking events and to friends who desire a more beautiful and meaningful life than the one we have been sold.”
