Chapter One: The Fire I Survived

🎙️Chapter One: The Fire I Survived

In this deeply personal debut, Erica shares the unfiltered story of her early life — the roots of her trauma, the silence she learned to survive in, and the generational patterns she was born to break.

From a childhood marked by instability, domestic violence, and early addiction, to the beginnings of her own unraveling, this is the chapter she once buried in shame… now told out loud, with clarity and courage. This episode is not about reliving pain — it’s about reclaiming power.

Erica opens up about:

• Growing up with a charismatic, alcoholic father and a mother who couldn’t leave
• Learning to hide, to cope, and to perform
• The origin of her codependency, alcoholism, and self-hate
• And the moment she chose to be the cycle breaker her lineage never had

This is where Burn It Down & Begin Again begins — not in victory, but in truth.

Because sometimes the only way out is through the fire.
