Dear Boss Babe.. we need to get real about the guilt women carry when they start evolving into a new version of themselves, especially when everyone around them expects them to stay the same. We need to break down why we feel guilty for wanting more, how identity shifts actually happen, and what stepping into your next chapter really looks like.

We talk about:

Why so many high-achieving women feel guilty for wanting more

How hustle culture convinces us to stay inside roles we’ve outgrown

The truth about burn out and identity fatigue

What it looks like to evolve without apologizing

How to catch the guilt, question it, and reframe it

The one small step Ericka wants you to take today toward the woman you’re becoming

If you’ve been navigating burn out, questioning your identity, or feeling the tension between who you are and who you’re becoming — this episode gives you the language, the permission, and the grounding you’ve been craving.

This is your reminder that expanding is not selfish. It’s necessary.
