    Breaking free from neurotypical norms and outdated education models | EP 14

    In this episode, I sit down with my rebel visionary guest, Danielle C Baker—who’s spent 20+ years inside one of the biggest boxes of all: the traditional education system. She’s here to blow the lid off a system that hasn’t changed in centuries. One that STILL asks students to shrink themselves to fit, instead of designing learning environments that actually work. We discuss: 🗣️ the truth about neurodivergence and why “different” is actually powerful 🗣️ how fear of judgment shuts down learning before it even begins 🗣️ simple shifts that make classrooms more inclusive and empowering 🗣️the energy spent putting out fires could be used to create healthy classroom settings from the start 🗣️ her visionary perspectives & why now is the time to build something new—for all our kids If you’ve ever felt like school wasn’t made for you, or you’re ready to reimagine education from the inside out, this episode will fire you up and inspire you to discover your superpowers Connect more with Danielle ⬇️ Website: www.beingconnected.ca Facebook Instagram Podcast / Youtube Her book: Bringing Up the World: how to finally focus on What Matters and Watch the Child Boom Comment below or send Erika an email to let us know what other topics you'd like to hear discussed with my rebel visionary guests. email: ⁠⁠⁠erikab.coaching@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠apply to be a guest

    Breaking free into soul-centered business & the golden age | EP 13

    F**k what everyone else is doing. What's your magic? In this conversation with my rebel visionary guest, Jen Haddix, we fuck the boxes that are designed to keep out our unique magic. In 2016 Jen hit rock bottom, was diagnosed biopolar, hating herself & suicidal but then met a homeopath who opened the door to spirituality & getting the mothering she never got as a child. Now, she’s on a mission to get as many entrepreneurs as possible to turn their aspiring ideas into something they can give and show to others to change the world. She helps them find the way of approaching business that feels most aligned to lead their soul’s work, while doing the necessary shadow work so that you can put yourself out there & trust your path. We discuss: 🗣️ when you’re behaving like everybody else, you block your unique magic 🗣️ how we can be conditioned to avoid any negative feelings and the parts of ourselves that feel ashamed, guilty or sad 🗣️ the power of getting messy to f**k the matrix 🗣️ the inner work that is necessary to be a successful entrepreneur 🗣️ we are paving the way of a new earth paradigm, it’s unknown and we don’t know what it looks like, but it’s inevitable 🗣️ now is a more important time than ever to pave a new way, even if you don’t have a roadmap or see anyone else doing it - don’t let that stop you Connect more with Jen ⬇️ instagram website Comment below or send Erika an email to let us know what other topics you'd like to hear discussed with my rebel visionary guests. email: ⁠⁠erikab.coaching@gmail.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠apply to be a guest

    Breaking free from the mental health box: the path to your inner healing intelligence | EP 12

    Ever feel like the traditional mental health system just isn’t cutting it? Like you're stuck in a loop of “just take this pill and wait to feel better” while your body, mind, and soul are screaming for something deeper? In this episode with my rebel visionary guest, Laurie Teal, we’re blowing up the outdated approach to healing and diving into the radical, out-of-the-box techniques that actually work. We discuss: 🗣️Why boxes serve us… until they suffocate us—and how to break free. 🗣️The mind-body-spirit approach to true healing (beyond symptom management). 🗣️Chronic fatigue, trauma, and physical illness—what if your illness is trying to wake you the f*ck up? 🗣️The moment she heard the owl whisper: "Who are you?"—and how it changed everything. 🗣️Victimhood vs. freedom—the hidden invitation in your pain. 🗣️Quantum medicine, energy coherence, and becoming the mystic of your own life. 🗣️How she rebuilt her life from absolute rock bottom—divorce, kids leaving, no job—to a life of purpose and power. 🗣️The victim-perpetrator-rescuer triangle—and how to escape it. This conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about healing, self-awareness, and what it truly means to live a life worth living.

    Breaking free from stigma & fear of uncertainty around divorce | EP 9

    During the pandemic, Andrea found herself with time to focus on herself, for the first time in her life. This led to a dismantling all the beliefs she’d been taught through religion and society, and what it meant to be a woman. That journey led to a traumatic—but liberating—divorce, sparking deep healing and a return to her true self. Now, Andrea helps women navigate post-divorce life and major transitions, guiding them to see endings as profound opportunities for transformation, self-reclamation, and the creation of a life aligned with their deepest truth. Whether you're contemplating leaving a marriage, reimagining your life, or seeking deeper emotional freedom, Andrea's perspective will guide you to trust yourself and take action—one step at a time. We discuss:  🗣️ How to stop waiting for permission and start giving it to yourself 🗣️ The importance of disrupting old patterns and doing the opposite of what feels comfortable  🗣️ Why we often feel disconnected from ourselves, and how to reconnect 🗣️ How to navigate the fear of change and lean into support during challenging transitions  🗣️ Why you must trust your inner wisdom even when the world around you questions it 🗣️ Why it’s okay to disappoint others in order to honor your truth 🗣️ How living in your fullest expression creates a ripple effect, giving others permission to do the same  Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction to Andrea and today’s conversation  2:15 - Why we stay in situations that no longer serve us  6:40 - The fear of uncertainty and how to embrace it  12:05 - Andrea’s hiking story: Leaving “good enough” for something extraordinary  18:30 - How society conditions women to ignore their intuition  22:45 - Rebuilding self-trust through small everyday choices  29:10 - The connection between self-trust and nervous system regulation  34:20 - Creating true safety in your body vs. the illusion of safety through achievement  40:15 - The importance of stillness and listening to your inner wisdom  45:50 - Final reflections and next steps for embracing uncertainty Connect more with Andrea ⬇️ instagram: @reclaim_rise_thrive Comment below or send Erika an email to let us know what other topics you'd like to hear discussed with my rebel visionary guests. email: ⁠⁠erikab.coaching@gmail.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠apply to be a guest
