    Money Thoughts from my Kids

    Money Thoughts from my Kids

    Palm trees = Money
    Apparently because I got palm trees for my birthday, our five year old thinks we are wealthy. It has me thinking what kind of money thought seeds I'm planting in my kids' heads and what money thoughts I want to believe.
    Enjoy the hilarity and then, take some time to consider your own money thoughts.

    Erica Riffs: Words Matter

    Erica Riffs: Words Matter

    It has been far too long since you got an Erica Riff's episode, so here's the first of Season 2 and the first of 2024. These are uncut, unedited, no holds barred and no outline created. They're usually inspired by something that has me fired up, so you get a ton of motivation and the occasional f-bomb.
    This one is all about the importance of the words we use to talk to others AND to ourselves. Words matter. Choose powerful ones!

    Vacation Lessons

    Traveling across 6 states gives a girl some time to think.  We just returned from a week-long vacation and you better believe I'm back with lots of inspiration and lessons from the trip.
    These lessons are about to be applied in my business in a big way, and you're welcome to borrow any of them (and to hold me accountable to following through on them!).

Hilarious and thought provoking

Erica has amazing energy and is hilarious. She is a pro at relating her life stories to business situations and outcomes. I find her episodes easy to listen and the time passes quickly because I am easily invested. This is an excellent podcast for anyone juggling kids and a career.

Work life balance!

I adore Erica for her frank and real conversations about being a mom and pursing an ambitious working life. She aims to support and serve her audience in a way that is fun and applicable!

This not-a-mom loves this podcast!

I'm not a mom. :) And my daughters are now adults. NEVERTHELESS, I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy Erica's podcasts. Erica is an outstanding storyteller. Her energy is contagious, her insights and advice are relatable and actionable, both on a business front and on the personal/interpersonal front. Give her a listen (and check out her website, blog, and social media, too!).
