Welcome! I’m Erica — a quiet force with a story to tell. In my early 40s, I’ve navigated life’s complexities with quiet strength and resilience. Becoming a teen mom shaped me in ways I never imagined, forcing me to grow into adulthood quickly, while carrying the weight of responsibilities most people don’t face until much later in life.

Writing has become a refuge — a way to process the chaos in my mind and finally allow my once shallow and moot voice to exude boisterous confidence, not allowing my words to be unheard again.

What started as a personal blog documenting the struggles and triumphs of young motherhood has grown into something deeper. Now, with my children grown and a wealth of life behind me, I’ve completed two fiction manuscripts and am working on new projects that reflect the rawness and beauty of life’s messy, unpredictable journey.

I write to make sense of it all — the joy, the heartbreak, the questions that still linger…

In my words, I’ve found peace — and maybe you will too.
