“Sometimes, the universe will pull you down to make you pause and see clearly. I couldn’t see that I already had everything I needed to follow my passions.”

In this episode of Modern Day Mysticism (yes - a new name!), Erica Ballard gets raw and real about uncovering what you truly want in life. She shares her journey of shedding outdated beliefs and embracing her deepest desires, including unexpected lessons delivered via a bout with norovirus. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of what you want, or overwhelmed by life’s choices, Erica’s story will inspire you to pause, reflect, and follow the "pings" your soul is sending.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Discovering Authentic Desires: Erica explains how realizing her true desires required accepting societal expectations and trusting her intuition.

  • The Role of Setbacks: How a challenging experience (norovirus!) became a powerful wake-up call for clarity and realignment.

  • Practical Mysticism: Erica shares how following intuitive nudges can lead to unexpected opportunities, like joining a Toastmasters group for professional speakers.
