Listen to the full episode now and ask yourself: What would it look like to give yourself permission to feel good, right here, right now?

What if the key to healing isn’t hustling harder, but slowing down and savoring the sweetness of life? In this soul-stirring episode of The Vulnerability Muscle, Reggie D. Ford sits down with the radiant Erica Wiederlight—confidence coach, speaker, and spiritual firestarter—for an unfiltered conversation about embodiment, burnout, and the radical act of reclaiming pleasure.

Erica opens up about her evolution from class clown to confidence coach, the shame she carried around learning disabilities and body image, and how performing masked a deep disconnection from self-worth. She shares how her journey through acting, grief, and healing led her to teach others how to embrace sexual empowerment, presence, and pleasure—not as luxuries, but as lifelines.

Together, Reggie and Erica explore:

  • Why vulnerability is a process, not a moment
  • How pleasure helps reset the nervous system and heal anxiety
  • The myth of constant self-improvement and why rest is sacred
  • How to check in with yourself through sensory awareness
  • The spiritual depth of sexual empowerment and how it’s often misunderstood

This conversation is a masterclass in living out loud, embracing imperfection, and choosing self-love in every season—even the crunchy ones.

Listen now to learn how to move from burnout to brilliance by tapping into your body, your breath, and your birthright to feel good.
