Chapter 3: Rebirth, Boundaries & Becoming
After the breaking comes the rebuilding.
In this chapter of Burn It Down and Begin Again, Erica shares what it looks like to come back from the edge — not just sober, but whole. This is the beginning of her rebirth, told with brutal honesty and undeniable strength.
She takes us through the slow, sacred process of reclaiming her life:
→ Getting sober for good after a near-death relapse
→ Unpacking generational codependency and abuse
→ Rebuilding her self-worth from rock bottom
→ Starting a new career, buying her own home, and parenting through healing
→ Setting boundaries, letting go of shame, and manifesting a life of peace
This is not just about surviving. This is about choosing to live — fully, freely, and on your own terms.
If you're struggling with addiction, codependency, divorce, or identity loss, this episode is a lifeline. Erica shows us what’s possible when we stop chasing who we used to be… and start building the version we were always meant to become.
✨ You are not too broken. You are not too late. You are never alone.
