Hi! I'm Erica.
A Keynote Speaker, Integrative Mental Health Therapist, Life Coach, and fellow burnout survivor.
I'm dedicated to helping you end burnout and the chronic stress cycle.
Named one of the 22 Leaders to Learn from in 2022 by
In 2014, while driving to work, I was hit by a Mack Truck (literally).​
Over the next 18 months, as every area of my life spiraled out of control, I asked, "what the heck am I missing?"
I need to keep it real, though.
On the outside, I looked like I had it together. In actuality, I was at my breaking point.​
​
Does this sound familiar?
​
​You keep doing what you think you "should" be doing, yet you hit roadblock after roadblock. You feel drained, frustrated, and stuck on the never-ending hamster wheel. It's freaking exhausting.
​
I went back to traditional talk therapy; it didn't work. Diving into the "woo-woo" side of wellness, I found "me" and learned the practical tools to take control of my life and thrive consciously.​​
​
This is what I wish I had on my journey— an integrative mental health approach, a community, and a roadmap that said, "this way next."
I know if I can do this, you can, too!

Frequently Asked Questions
Parts of My Journey
I have an 9-year-old rescue Pitbull/Boxer mix named Bear, who's been by my side since one month after the Mack Truck accident - not sure who rescued who.
20,000 organic followers on social media. I'm grateful for each of them.
I've experienced intergenerational trauma (family of Italian & Sicilian immigrants and Combat War Veterans), childhood trauma (ACES score: 7), work trauma (burnout, compassion fatigue, moral injury, vicarious trauma, & first-hand trauma) and a near-death experience from the Mack Truck accident. I've learned how to successfully break the cycles, heal, and move forward - thanks to understanding how my nervous system works.
When I was a Professor, I was recognized by the University for how I handled my classes during the start of the pandemic, which was based on student surveys.
Several friends and family have passed 'before their time,' with the most impactful being my boyfriend in my early 20's, Aunt, and best friend of 23 years.
Former Co-host of an iHeartRadio Podcast with iHeartRadio's Z100 New York On-Air personality Erica America that talked about modern issues with a pop psychology perspective.
Fastest promoted manager, to lead a multi-million dollar team, at a major company based on my high sales, customer retention rate, relationship building skills, and ability to motivate others.
Inspired the most-listened-to mental health tip on the Bunch Leadership Coaching App.
I love to dance. I competed, taught, and took instructional dance for fifteen years. After being told that I'd most likely lose my foot from the Mack Truck accident, I've been able to rehab it so that I'm back on the dance floor in my heels.
First woman DJ at two different bars in one of my 10 careers (yes, I've had 10).
Landed largest first sale for a rookie in the history of radio station when working in radio sales.
I'm in my 40's and I've been intentionally single for the past 8 years so I could figure out how to successfully ditch my attraction to codependency.
I've been fired. A male director said, "you're extremely smart and think quickly on your feet. You should think about how you come across because some people can find it intimidating." A few months later, I was fired from my supervisor position suddenly even though I successfully increased productivity in my department by 49% under 9 months. Guess what: my next job was a level up; I went from Supervisor to Clinical Director.
I have a rare genetic lung disease that went undiagnosed for 32 years which resulted in part of my lung being removed at 17. I understand 'living with a chronic illness,' medical trauma, and no one believing you. Today, I'm no longer dependent on daily pharmaceutical medicine of any kind.
Founder of the largest club for stress & burnout, "The Burnout Club," on the Clubhouse app, where I hosted free rooms during 2020-2021. This is when the "The Burnout Professor" was born.
