Beskrivelse

Want to share something with me? Send me a direct text message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1705909/open_sms] In this episode, I’m sharing an honest reflection on what 2025 taught me, not about hustle or pushing harder, but about the quiet cost of trying to do too much. I talk openly about how chasing momentum, success, and “doing it all” slowly pulled me away from the very things I said I wanted most — presence, joy, connection, peace, and alignment. If you’ve felt overwhelmed even in a season that looks good on the outside, this conversation is for you. We’ll talk about what it means to stop forcing joy and start choosing what actually brings life, why doing less can sometimes create more, and how clarity often comes from the wins, losses, and growing pains we don’t talk about enough. I’ll also walk you through a powerful end of year journaling exercise that helped me reframe how I’m stepping into 2026, imagining who you are on December 31, 2026 and letting that future version of you speak honestly about what mattered most. This episode is an invitation into a lighter, more aligned year ahead, one rooted in self trust, presence, faith, and doing the things that truly matter well. If you’re ready to stop living in overload and start moving forward with intention, this one is for you. You don't have to do it all to have it all.

episode If You’re Tired of Starting Over, Listen to This cover

If You’re Tired of Starting Over, Listen to This

Want to share something with me? Send me a direct text message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1705909/open_sms] February is where motivation fades, doubt creeps in, and most people quietly quit on the goals they were excited about just weeks ago. If you’re feeling discouraged, behind, or tempted to start over, this episode is for you. In this episode of Elevate with Erica, we talk about why February is the real test of consistency, not January, and why quitting doesn’t mean you failed, it usually means you expected progress to feel louder than it does. You’ll learn: * Why most people quit when results aren’t visible yet * The real reason “starting over” feels productive but keeps you stuck * How to redefine consistency so it actually fits your real life * Why motivation fades but momentum builds * What to do when you’re tired, bored, or doubting yourself * How to stop quitting on yourself and start staying consistent This episode is for anyone working on fitness, health, wellness, personal growth, or any goal that requires patience and trust. It’s a reminder that progress is often quiet, stability is underrated, and staying is what actually creates change. If you’re in a season where excitement has faded but your goals still matter, press play. This might be exactly what you need to hear today.

Making Room. Clearing the Clutter So God Can Move.

Want to share something with me? Send me a direct text message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1705909/open_sms] Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stretched too thin? This episode is for you. In this follow-up to This Is The Year I Stop Explaining Myself, I dive into how to clear the clutter in your life, not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and relationally — so you can create space for what truly matters. In this episode, you’ll learn:  • How to recognize when it’s time to release something  • The difference between proving, avoiding, and living with purpose  • How emotional and mental clutter like resentment, unforgiveness, and overthinking block peace  • Why forgiveness is for you, not just for others • Practical steps to clear clutter without burning your life down • How to make room for what God wants to do next This isn’t about minimalism or doing less just for the sake of it. It’s about creating breathing room in your life so you can hear God clearly, live with peace, and step into alignment with who you’re becoming. If you’ve been craving clarity, peace, and a reset that actually lasts, this episode will meet you right where you are. 🎙️ Elevate with Erica | Faith, growth, wellness, and intentional living Support the show [https://paypal.me/ericareneeyeager?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] MAKE BIOACTIVE PRECISION PEPTIDES [https://makewellness.com/C68E2B8325] Driver's Seat Journal - Click Here [https://msericarenee.com] Subscribe to the Weekly Newsletter Club [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64d27e3c9b48101ef1dcfa95]Support the Show - Elevate with Erica Subscription [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1705909/supporters/new] Subscribe to my YouTube Channel - The show is now available on YouTube!

This Is the Year I Stop Explaining Myself

Want to share something with me? Send me a direct text message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1705909/open_sms] For a long time, I didn’t realize how much of myself I had slowly given away. I said yes to everything. I stayed busy. I stayed productive. I chased momentum because movement felt like healing after seasons that shook the foundation of my life. But somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling free. In this first episode of 2026, I’m sharing why my word for the year is free and how saying yes too often, caring too much about perception, navigating deeply personal challenges in a public space, and slowly dimming my own light left me disconnected from my joy, my creativity, and myself. I talk honestly about: * why “doing more” became a coping mechanism * how losing external validation impacted my confidence * what it’s like to grieve privately while being visible publicly * how faith carried me through seasons I didn’t know how to survive * and why returning to who I was, not reinventing myself, is the real work This episode isn’t about resolutions or reinvention.  It’s about coming home to yourself. As we begin 2026, I’m inviting you to reflect on what your word for the year is and what freedom might look like in your life too.

The One Episode You Need Before 2026

Want to share something with me? Send me a direct text message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1705909/open_sms] If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll “start fresh in January" OR maybe you just need a push, clarity and a reminder of who you're becoming, this episode is your wake-up call. December isn’t a throwaway month — it’s the foundation, the momentum, the spiritual and emotional runway for everything you’re hoping, praying, and working toward in 2026. In this episode, I am sharing a powerful reminder that you don’t have to overhaul your life to finish this year strong. You just have to choose presence, gratitude, and one intentional step forward. This is your month to reconnect with your family, your routines, your faith, and the version of you that is rising. You’ll walk away feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to make these closing days the most meaningful of the year. This is the one episode you need before 2026 — and the one you'll want to come back to again and again.
