Cheers to this Tuesday, it's been a sticky one for me. Feeling a bit low and working to rebuild all the energy that's been misplaced... Life brings the best and the worst, and the growth that comes from each shows your strength and diligence as a human being. Take things for what they're worth, especially in the darkest moments. Love yall ~Erica ?

Episode 34: When The Sad Moments Come...

Happy Thursday friends :) Grateful to have you back and to share another episode that might just spark your fancy! I just completed another great read called The Psychology of Winning by Dr. Denis Waitley. For anyone working on bettering themselves by taking inspiring and affirmative action, this book and this episode are just for you. Who you believe yourself to be can change when your thoughts change, and if you're not happy with how your life is rolling, then it's up to you to rearrange areas for a better version of you. Of course, there's personal insight but lots of diverse topic discussions. Enjoy :) ~Erica 

Episode 33: What You Think You Become

Happy Tuesday friends :) Been having mixed emotions the past few days about the unknown - usually it's something I can see through for myself, but when other people are involved, either something awful or amazing could happen. And I'm betting on AMAZING - what you see is what you get, what you look for you find. It's a simple awareness of being okay just as things are, no need to control an outcome that could naturally change on its own. Let things take their course, tomorrow will bring the truth to unknown. Cheers ?~Erica 

Episode 32: Embracing The Unknown

Happy Mid-January friends :) Thank you so much for all the kind connections and listeners from ALL OVER THE WORLD! You are amazing!!! Today's episode is part book review, part personal growth. I recently read "How To Be A Badass At Making Money" by Jen Sincero and I really grew quite a bit as a person just by putting myself in the arena and digging deep to understand my own mentality. You can read all the books in the world, but without consistent action to build a better 'you', you'll get stuck and stay in the same excuses that are currently surrounding you. For anyone seeking a book to support their sticky-relationship with money, much like me, then this is a fabulous read I'd recommend for sure. Would love to hear your thoughts on how this book and/or episode helped you see yourself through a different light, I sure as hell know I do ??Cheers ~Erica 

Episode 31: How Your External World Mirrors Your Internal World

Happy New Year ?May this be your year of greatness! I've been putting myself out there ever since I moved back to Cleveland, and this episode shares a bit about a recent experience of how much my mindset has shifted in the past seven months. Get better for yourself, shift the things you're unhappy with, and cultivate a life you're more than deserving of living. Cheers to all the great things to come, and thanks so much for listening - sending warm wishes your way ~Erica 

Episode 30: Put Yourself Out There

Hey there friends :) In this episode, I share my deep feelings about therapy, working on my best self, and how life will inevitably throw you curveballs and challenges throughout the course of your existence. Our reactions to situations and open-mindedness define who we are as individuals. So for the upcoming year, I'm saying no to all the bullsh*t and focusing on kindness and sticking up for myself and who I believe I am. Fight for yourself, your time, your life - it's yours. Cheers to the final days before the New Year, grateful to share my life with you ♥️~Erica 

Episode 29: Making 2020 My Year

Confidence is tricky... I never really knew what it looked like, and arrogance seemed to be tied together with this idea. Every day I get a little bit more comfortable with my truth and who I really am. I'm getting out of my head, out of my way, and the benefits of saying 'F*@% IT' to the things that don't matter while standing up for yourself - that's what confidence feels like! Cheers to your holiday season, well wishes full of joy and delicious chocolate candies :) ~Erica 

Episode 28: Becoming More Confident

Hey there :) This episode was recorded yesterday - it touches on how I'm choosing happiness in each moment of my life. Every year, right around this time of December I make a new personal goal for the next year ahead. We are the gatekeepers to our future - for me, happiness within myself has to come first. Cheers to the holidays, sending warm vibes and lots of love your way ~Erica 

Episode 27: Happiness For The Holidays

What up friends :) This episode is from a few days back and I feel can bring some perspective for you during the holiday time. Evaluating and reflection on your life is something we all can learn from. Our lives are our own, and it's up to us individually to better our circumstances and current reality. And for me, auditing connections with people through social media and in real life. Hope this episode brings you clarity, laughter, and as always - lots of love and well wishes. Keep pushing towards your best self, I'm right along with you :) ~Erica 

Episode 26: Shedding The BS For The New Year

I had a meetup last night with my Lonely Souls community. Living in the moment has become the most valuable tool I've learned to utilize, and last night is a perfect reflection of how much I've grown through my shit around friendship. Never take things personally, focus on the joys of life, and know that everyone has issues they're coping with, including you. Save yourself from your own demons, get your thoughts in check, and believe in the things you deserve - YOLO ?(and remember how valuable you are in the field of friendship) ~Erica 

Episode 25: When People Push You Away, Let Them

Hey friends - this episode is my most emotional yet. Wednesday had a lot of curveballs thrown at me, and this was the start of it... As you work through milestones in your life, you soon find out that you're the only person who can ever truly make yourself happy. Take things for what they're worth, learn how to not overthink things, and appreciate each moment as an opportunity to become better for yourself.  Love y'all ?Cheers to your Thursday ~Erica 

Episode 24: Some Gifts Are Wrapped In Sandpaper

Happy Tuesday :) This episode poses the question, "If today marked your last day alive, how would you want to be remembered?" We all have a past, but it does not mean you have to live in the shadows of who you truly are. I want to be remembered for my kindness, vulnerabilities, and openness to connect. Decide how you want to be remembered, live true to yourself and push through the obstacles. Make the change you want to see, all doubts aside. ?~Erica 

Episode 23: Decide For Yourself

I was completely in my head the entire time I recorded this episode. Sometimes I feel that the way my brain works is so backward from others that what I say could be perceived as a bit 'wacko'. But it's true that I'll never know how much or little one episode with my perspective could help impact someone's life. And that's what these shows have done for me. They've instilled confidence, understanding, connection, and empathy. Enjoy :) ~Erica

Episode 22: Visual Perspectives from Netflix and Amazon

Happy Thursday friends :) I'm a full believer that what you listen to and watch enhance who you are as a person. We're independent thinkers, and finding the words you need to hear and the language of kindness cultivate who you're destined to be. These are just a few of who I listen to when I feel down or need a pick-me-up. Be your own discission maker - give yourself the good stuff ~Erica 

Episode 21: What You Listen To Matters

Welcome back - here's to part two, the final part of my session with Troy. If you'd like to share your story or even parts of your growth, feel free to reach out. I'd love to connect with you :) ~Erica  ereichstein@gmail.com Instagram: @cali.poppies

Episode 20: Hanging With A Guest - Troy (Part 2)

Hi, there :) My name's Erica, and I've created this podcast to help support anyone who's felt alone through the challenges that naturally arise in life. The past two years of my life have completely changed my perspective on how life actually is versus how I wish it to be. We all suffer from our own traumas and issues, but there's power in not feeling alone - we thrive through connection, and I'm hoping this brings that to you. Each episode will talk about honest and vulnerable topics that have been relevant in my life, from coping with the loss of friendships and family to striving for someth
