I’m Ericka Graham, and I am so honored to be your host for this podcast. Nearly a decade ago, I graduated from Rice University, while focusing my masters research on sexuality in the Bible. More recently, I graduated from seminary and completed my thesis on soul-body integration (and embodiment). Although graduate school is over for me (at least for the time being), I still have an insatiable desire to continue learning from the wisdom and lived experiences of others. I also believe that I am never alone in my need and desire for connection, through authentic conversation. So here I am, pursuing my own curiosity, incase you are longing to do the same. My hope is that together, we can learn to take this life a tad more “curiously,” while having conversations at the intersections of faith, religion, science, mental health . . . and so much more! Thanks for being here!

Curiously with Ericka Graham
I loved all of the interviews so far but the one I took the most notes on and really reflected on , what was said , was the podcast with Denise Hamilton. Thank you Ericka for bringing such diverse topics and speakers into this space. Great job.
Honest,innovative and enlightening
Ericka’s podcasts are incredible. I appreciate the way in which she respects and engages with her guests. She models how she is processing on her mind/body experiences as well as assimilating new knowledge from others.
It is as though she takes the content of the conversation and dissects it allowing listeners to ponder their version of the mind body experience.
