Erica Van Slyke is a wife of 13 years, mother of 2 boys and full time Blogger and Podcast Host. She’s been featured in top publications such as Domino Magazine, The Today Show, HGTV, Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, The Pioneer Woman and more. This wasn’t always her reality though. Erica struggled with mental health issues since she was merely 8 years old and by the time she turned 21, she overdosed on prescription sleeping pills and was forced to go to rehab. After detoxing from sleeping pills and anxiety medication, she graduated college with a Marketing degree and specialized in SEO and Digital Marketing. She had a good 9-5 job, but ultimately felt something was missing. By age 29 and after having her second child, she woke up overnight and felt drawn back into depression and hopelessness. She didn’t want to get back to the point of a mental breakdown where she’d been before, so she got creative and thought of a healthy coping mechanism for her depression. She and her husband had sold their home and bought an abandoned 80’s fixer upper and so she decided to use her skillsets of online marketing and passion for home design to start a DIY blog. 8 years later, she is making more money than she ever thought possible as a Blogger and living the life of freedom, flow and abundance she always hoped for. Her mission is to use her story to serve as a beacon of hope, especially for mothers who struggle with mental health and depression, to show them they too can create a full and abundant life and that they’re worthy of it.
