In this reflective episode, Erica shares honest thoughts on grief, the strange way time stretches and collapses, and the pressure we put on ourselves through “should’ve” thinking. As she gets ready to approach the one-year anniversary of her mom’s passing, she explores what it means to stay present, release regret, and choose compassion over judgment.

The episode closes with This Moment Matters, a grounding practice designed to help listeners pause, breathe, and focus on what they can do with the moment they’re in, without pressure or perfection.
