Still think healing has to be hard, heavy, and emotionally exhausting? Not with this guest. In this paradigm-shifting episode, Erica sits down with speaker, author, and reinvention strategist Riana Malia to uncover the unconscious patterns keeping high-achieving women stuck—and how to finally break free.
Riana shares her personal journey from a peaceful-looking divorce turned emotional battlefield, to finding true love (and handcuffs—yep, she tells that story too). Together, they explore how trauma lives in the body, why therapy isn’t always enough, and what it really takes to rewire your beliefs and rebuild your life from the inside out.
Because you’re not broken. You’re just overdue for a new operating system.
