  1. What Do You Want?

    8H AGO

    What Do You Want?

    In this episode, Erica takes a deeper look at the question, What Do You Want?  Instead of chasing the answer, she explores how clarity comes from slowing down, quieting the clutter and noise, and reconnecting with God and the Spirit within.  Why do you want this? Is it aligned with who you are now? Is it something you really need or something you think you should want? Is all that true? The answers are already there—you just have to be willing to ask and ready to listen.   And if everything is pointing you to yes - then why aren't you TRYING? You can do this!

    The Hope Ahead: Trusting What You Cannot Yet See

    In this episode, Erica is joined by Wendy for a powerful and inspirational conversation about what it really means to choose hope—especially when life feels uncertain or even hopeless. Together, they talk about how hope isn’t about ignoring reality, but about trusting that there’s something for you up ahead, even when you can’t see it yet. They dive into how hope gives us the courage to be brave, how to catch ourselves when we spiral into worst-case scenario thinking, and how small, intentional shifts can move us from fear into forward motion. Because sometimes hope isn’t a feeling—it’s a decision. And that decision can change everything.

    What Does Love Look Like?

    Let’s be honest—all this “love and light” stuff sounds great… but does it actually change anything? Can it really make a difference? In this heartfelt reflection, Erica digs into what love really is, how it shapes us, and why it has the power to bring light into our lives—helping us see more clearly and showing us the way forward. With heart, honesty, and a little humor along the way, this episode explores how love changes people from the inside out—and how living it out in ordinary moments can an illuminate the way forward in even the darkest moments.

  7. The Stuff of Enough - Clearing the Way for Contentment

    JAN 14

    The Stuff of Enough - Clearing the Way for Contentment

    What if enough isn’t something we chase… but something we choose? In this episode of The Funny Kind, Erica is joined by Melinda Stuart, a Certified Senior Move Manager and owner of Smart Move who specializes in assisting clients and their families with downsizing, relocating, and re-settling. Together, they talk about simplifying, decluttering, and learning to be content with what we already have, instead of constantly reaching for more. We explore why stuff holds so much emotional weight, how letting go can feel both freeing and uncomfortable, and how creating space in our homes often creates space in our hearts, too. This isn’t about perfection or minimalism for minimalism’s sake—it’s about intentional living, gentler choices, and discovering the peace that comes from realizing you already have enough. With a little humor, a lot of honesty, and practical insight you can actually use, this conversation invites you to rethink your relationship with “stuff” and reconnect with what truly matters. ✨ Less clutter. More clarity. And maybe a new definition of enough.
