In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica shares a childhood moment that shaped her voice, her confidence, and her approach to leadership for the rest of her life.

In the 4th grade, a simple math mistake turned into a life-changing lesson from Mrs. Lillie Mae Searcy—one that taught humility, discernment, and the importance of thinking before speaking. What felt like embarrassment as a child became wisdom that guided her through relationships, business, leadership, and personal growth.

This episode explores: ✨ The lessons that follow us from childhood into adulthood ✨ How pride, humility, and correction shape character ✨ Why some people hurt you to harm you—and others hurt you to save you ✨ The difference between pain and purpose ✨ Gratitude for teachers, mentors, and moments that shaped our destiny

If you've ever had a moment that embarrassed you—but later saved you—this episode is for you.
