    Episode 100: Completion, Pauses, and the Permission to Begin Again

    Send me a text message! As the year comes to a close, I’ve been asking myself one question:  What actually needs to be complete before we move into what’s next? In this milestone 100th episode, I’m sharing why I’m choosing to pause the podcast — not from burnout, but from a deep sense of completion. As one cycle ends and another begins, I talk about the power of letting something finish without dragging it forward out of habit, pressure, or obligation. Before I go, I’m also leaving you with the Erica-isms — the reminders I hope you carry with you long after this show is over.  This episode is a closing chapter, a deep exhale, and an invitation to trust the timing of what wants to begin next. Thank you so much for being here. 🤍 Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a fabulous new year!

    If you feel like a lazy loser, this one is for you.

    Send me a text message! If you feel like a lazy loser right now- like you can’t find your motivation, you don’t know your next move, and everyone else seems to be sprinting laps around you-  this episode is your reminder that you’re not failing… you’re in a sacred pause. Inspired by a spirit animal (yes, literally an egret) that kept showing up in the most unlikely, synchronized ways, this conversation unpacks the deeper message behind stillness, the unknown, and why your “I can’t get my sh*t together” era is actually a strategic part of the process.  Click here to check out my new apparel shop and enter code "INFLUENCER15" to get 15% off your first order.  **All my fellow mamas out there: I am a potty-mouth,  so you may want to listen with headphones on!** If you found this episode helpful it would mean the world to me if you could share it with a friend or screenshot this episode on your phone, upload it to Instagram stories and tag me (@designingvibes).  This podcast is not monetized, so spreading the word is the best way to "pay me back" for my time and wisdom- so to speak.

    You Can’t Design Your Dream Life by Staying on the Fence

    Send me a text message! Whether it’s a room or your next big move, you can’t create anything real without committing to something first. Yet so many of us stay stuck—afraid to make the “wrong” decision, endlessly reworking the mood board of our lives.  In this episode, I share how my approach to home design oddly became the cure for getting out of my own existintial paralysis. Because clarity doesn’t come from thinking—it comes from choosing.  **All my fellow mamas out there: I am a potty-mouth,  so you may want to listen with headphones on!** If you found this episode helpful it would mean the world to me if you could share it with a friend or screenshot this episode on your phone, upload it to Instagram stories and tag me (@designingvibes).  This podcast is not monetized, so spreading the word is the best way to "pay me back" for my time and wisdom- so to speak.

    Fear, Failure, and the Freedom of Getting Knocked Down

    Send me a text message! The last few years knocked me flat—algos, setbacks, ego deaths. But instead of proving I was “lucky,” they stretched my capacity and showed me I can rebuild.

Because the truth is: falling isn’t the end—it’s how you rise bigger. **All my fellow mamas out there: I am a potty-mouth,  so you may want to listen with headphones on!** If you found this episode helpful it would mean the world to me if you could share it with a friend or screenshot this episode on your phone, upload it to Instagram stories and tag me (@designingvibes).  This podcast is not monetized, so spreading the word is the best way to "pay me back" for my time and wisdom- so to speak.

    Getting Comfortable with Debt and Anger

    Send me a text message! Two of the biggest “dirty words” for women? Anger and Debt. But here’s the thing : they’re not always bad. In fact, they can be powerful. In this episode, I share why anger can actually be more sacred (and useful) than depression, and how debt (when it’s tied to investing in your business or self-growth) can be a tool for expansion instead of shame. This conversation is your reminder that: Anger can be fuel, not a flaw“Good debt” can open doors instead of closing themShame around emotions and money is meant to be challengedIf you’ve ever felt guilty for being pissed off or nervous about investing in yourself, this episode will help you see both anger and debt through a whole new lens. **All my fellow mamas out there: I am a potty-mouth,  so you may want to listen with headphones on!** If you found this episode helpful it would mean the world to me if you could share it with a friend or screenshot this episode on your phone, upload it to Instagram stories and tag me (@designingvibes).  This podcast is not monetized, so spreading the word is the best way to "pay me back" for my time and wisdom- so to speak.
