    Ep. 218-Unapologetically a Disney Fan with Erika Heil

    I’m so excited to welcome my friend and sorority sister, Erika Sweet Heil, as a guest for this week’s episode. Erika is the creator of DCL Dorks, a podcast and creative brand that blends Disney cruising, crafting, and community. Erika has sailed on 10 Disney cruises across every ship in the fleet, from Bahamian and Alaskan itineraries to a transatlantic crossing. She’s also a mom of teenagers, a public service professional with over 25 years of experience, and now an author, podcaster, and maker who’s unapologetically building a side business around the things that bring her joy. After years of raising kids and pouring into her career, Erika realized she had lost sight of herself. DCL Dorks became her answer to the question, ‘What do you like to do?’ — a creative space where she rediscovered her identity, embraced her quirky passions, and stopped apologizing for chasing a dream. . .
