In this episode, Erica is joined by Heather Wick, Chief Energetics Officer, to explore what it means to work with the energy of your business. Heather shares how businesses have their own energy and how separating your energy from your business can create more clarity, flow, and ease in how you lead and make decisions.

They also talk about how this shows up in midlife, when many women begin to feel more discerning and less willing to carry what isn’t theirs. This conversation offers a different way to think about your work, your energy, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Midlife + Human Design Workshop on Substack

In this episode, Erica explores the energy of cycles and how they shape the way we move through our lives, especially in seasons of growth. Through the energies of spring, Erica talks about the tension between feeling ready to burst out and grow quickly, and the reality that, just like in nature, slow growth makes for a stronger plant. She shares how easy it is to want to skip the planning, rush into action, or abandon something when it doesn’t unfold as quickly as we would like.

Many women in midlife feel this pressure to figure things out or move faster than their energy actually allows. This episode is an invitation to tune into the energies we’re experiencing this spring.

In this episode, I reflect on a version of myself that has been coming up lately – my 13-year-old self. The girl who felt awkward, different, and like she didn’t belong anywhere. I share how those early experiences of trying to fit in shaped years of people-pleasing, following the “should” path, and choosing careers and expectations that never quite felt right.

Many women in midlife still carry the patterns they developed when they were young – the ones that kept the peace, made others comfortable, or tried to prove their worth. This episode explores the difference between fitting in and truly belonging, and why noticing these patterns is the first step to changing them.

In this episode, I share a personal story about losing my voice during a week when our entire household was sick, and how the quiet brought unexpected relief. That experience led me to a deeper reflection on when I first began to lose trust in my own voice. I trace back how small moments of doubt slowly shaped how I saw myself as a writer and whether I had anything valuable to say.

I share how discovering Human Design and learning about our unique communication styles changed the way I understand my own voice and can help my clients claim their unique voice.

In this episode of Unfolding, I’m sharing a realization that hit me like a ton of bricks this week: I have Shiny Object Syndrome. I talk about realizing that when I was trying to create new things for clients, I was missing what actually works best. So I'm going back to the basics.

I know I'm not the only one with Shiny Object Syndrome. So many of us fall into, reaching for the next bright, shiny thing when things feel hard or uncomfortable. The new book, the new routine, the next plan that promises it’ll finally help us feel less stressed, less overwhelmed, less stuck.

What happens when we start outsourcing our decisions to AI? What does it cost us, when we've already spent a lifetime being questioned, second-guessed, and conditioned to override ourselves?

In this episode, we explore the growing trend of using AI as a decision-making partner and why it’s not as helpful as it might seem. Outsourcing decisions disconnects us from our bodies, our relationships, and our inner authority, especially for women in midlife who are already navigating decision fatigue, over-responsibility, and pressure to prove.

Clarity doesn’t come from more information. Your body knows before your mind does. Erica offers simple ways to come back to yourself when you’re spiraling or feeling stuck.

We are in the midst of a major era shift — collectively, personally, energetically. In this episode, I explore how Human Design, astrology, and even Chinese astrology all reflect the sense that something big is changing.

I share how these global and generational cycles are happening alongside the cycles that happen in our lifetimes. We explore cycles we go through in our 30s, 40s and 50s, and how understanding the energy of these cycles can help you reclaim your inner authority, trust yourself more deeply, and make decisions that feel true.

Much like in astrology, the planets – specifically the Sun and Earth – create background energetic frequencies in Human Design.

In this episode, I share insights about the energies of the past few weeks and why January may have felt slow or unsettled.

Energetically, it’s not a time for rushing ahead, it’s a time for exactly where we are.

The winter season and the background energies hold the potential for something deeper. So when the momentum returns as the seasons shift, we’re ready to plan, sprout, and grow as the season shifts into spring.

Decision fatigue is the side-effect of having to make too many decisions. We have so many choices and are bombarded with so much information. Decision fatigue leaves us feeling depleted and it also clutters our minds, making even simple decisions feel overwhelming.

Because we’re so cluttered and we worry about making the “right choice.”

Making another decision can feel like too much.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what decision fatigue actually is, how it shows up in your everyday life (yes, even what ketchup to buy counts), and what it looks like to stop outsourcing your decisions – and start trusting your own timing and truth again.
