In this raw and inspiring episode of Ignyte Your Why, we welcome back creative powerhouse Erica Almquist for a powerful deep dive into reinvention, resilience, and realignment. A year after her first appearance, Erica returns with a story of transformation—stepping away from the lens of photography and into the soundscape of music. She opens up about the emotional toll of burnout, the necessity of mental health breaks, and the courage it takes to say “no” to what no longer serves your purpose.
With wit, wisdom, and refreshing vulnerability, Erica discusses the heart behind her upcoming EP Salty—a project rooted in youth, love, loss, and self-discovery. Together, she and Austin explore what it means to grow, to outgrow, and to fiercely protect your passion. They reflect on the power of collaboration, the value of mentorship, and why community is essential for thriving in any creative space.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating a pivot, pursuing their purpose, or seeking inspiration to boldly become who they’re meant to be.
