In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Ep8. Spirituality and Chasing Butterflies: with Daniel Li Ox, QiGong Master, Zen Buddhist Monk, and ZenCleanz Founder 1:06:52

In this special episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with the extraordinary Daniel Li Ox—a QiGong Master, ordained Zen Buddhist monk, and the visionary founder of ZenCleanz, a line of powerful fermented detoxification enzymes designed to support fasting and healing. With over five decades of exploring life as a student of ancient wisdoms, Chinese medicine, and spirituality, Daniel brings a playful yet profound perspective to the table. Our conversation was full of surprises and profound insights. Daniel’s childlike curiosity and deep humility left me utterly enchanted. He reminded me that the path of a spiritual warrior doesn’t have to be weighed down by solemnity; instead, we can walk it with light-heartedness and joy. Together, we explored themes of stagnation, personal growth, and what it means to keep the “bubbles in our champagne” alive—a metaphor for staying vibrant and connected to our passions. Daniel also shared his belief in the transformative power of grounding, and how spiritual practices can help us feel more deeply, process emotions, and transform energy in this lifetime. His insights are as practical as they are profound, delivered with his signature cheeky humor and openness. Whether you’re curious about QiGong, intrigued by the idea of fasting for healing, or simply seeking pearls of wisdom from a true seeker, this episode offers it all. Tune in for a journey through spirituality, self-discovery, and the art of staying vibrant on the winding path of life.

Ep7. Collective Trauma and the Healing Work Wars Demand of Us with Nikola Jurisic 1:05:36

Nikola is a cultural transfiguration catalyst, who relishes in building values driven systems, organizations and communities at scale. In this episode, we speak into the nuances of collective trauma and ancestral trauma, and how these often intersect - especially where major societal upheavals existed, particularly in times of war. We speak into the four fundamental collective traumas - from (a) the collective trauma of splitting the spirit world from science and the material world; (b) the collective trauma of patriarchy, and creating an imbalance between the feminine and masculine sides of our nature; and (c) the collective trauma of individualism vs collectivism and the schisms this collective shift has caused in society; and finally (d) the collective trauma of separating the individual human from the (mother) Earth and Nature herself. We dive in deeper to the current realities of the Holy War being fought in Gaza today, thirteen months in - and what that conflict means from a collective trauma lens. We get vulnerable and ask the uncomfortable questions so many of us are thinking about, but perhaps haven’t dared to speak into publicly. Let’s have THAT conversation.

Pythagoras used to prescribe song and music for various ailments like depression and anxiety. But of course, ancient wisdom would prescribe us song or movement as a healing modality, wouldn't it? Erika sits down with Fadi Rifaai in this episode, who is a Singer, Actor and Writer with a particular penchant for communing with God through singing Sufi Poetry. In this episode, you will witness the power of music. Witness how one human being can become an antenna for us all to connect to Spirit, through the simple revolutionary act of emptying oneself to become a musical vessel. Get ready to feel the healing medicine found in music in this very special episode where music = liberation.

Ep5. Ancestral & Generational Trauma, the Mother Wound, and the Power of Our Family Stories with MayBritt Searty 1:10:23

MayBritt Searty is a Family and Systemic Constellations Therapist, a Doctor of Natural Medicine, and a psychosomatic body worker in Dubai. She describes herself as a passionate life-long explorer of alternative ways to doing things, which has led her to becoming a long-time practitioner of cranial sacral therapy, osho therapy, homeopathy, and various other modalities that helped her explore the psychosomatic aspects of illnesses. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of ancestral and generational trauma, the mother wound, and the stories that hold power in our family systems. We talk about the inevitability of traumatizing our own children and carrying traumas not just from our own parents, but often unconsciously from 7 generations that came before us. We touch on the power of healing through stillness, and through so many modalities that she’s explored over the years. MayBritt also shares so many beautiful personal stories from her own ancestry, and speaks into the various illnesses she and her family members have had to battle that she believes were the result of unresolved ancestral trauma. We also touch on the power of the land we are born in, and the power of the lands that we are called to… and also reflect on the growing healing community in Dubai, where MayBritt sees a current balancing of masculine and feminine energy in the city itself.

Erika sits down with one of her favorite IFS (Internal Family Systems) coaches that she's ever had the pleasure of working with, Riké John. In this episode, Erika and Riké speak into the power of walking the spiritual path and doing the work in sisterhood, shoulder to shoulder, while running a women's circle together in Dubai. They talk about the importance of empowering each other to become a Queen amongst Queens. They speak into the importance of healing the sister-wound, which requires showing up in our most vulnerable, most authentic and rawest frequencies in each others presence. They geek out on how Shadow Work, IFS Parts Work, and how Desire-Based Coaching can help us heal our darker parts, while staying focused on walking towards the light. Riké shares how she works with all of our inner children and inner parts, how they all show up differently in different people, and how unconditionally loving ourselves is always the answer. Finally, they discuss how Fear often disguises itself as Love, and how we must always be conscious to choose Love over Fear. This is a dynamite session with this Queen amongst Queens; we hope you enjoy it.

I sit down with Roos-Veerle Krijnen, a medicine woman and coach that uses the principles of nature as her ultimate guide. I’m so grateful to have one of my dearest sisters and friends that have walked this spiritual warrior path with me to talk about everything from the power of radical honesty and meeting each other in the depths, what it means to go through a process of purification, and the lessons nature has for humanity. We feel into what it really means to listen to our bodies, and ask the question: “What if pain were here, not to be managed or silenced, but welcomed as a messenger?” We also speak into how society tends to raise more enslaved minds rather than sovereign independent thinkers, and how important it is to empower and educate ourselves. Especially at a time when dis-ease is ailing modern societies at alarming rates, and how Western and Eastern medicine take different approaches. We also speak into how different it is to do life from masculine energy vs feminine energy, and how it even has played out in our friendship… and how Shamanism and medicine journeys can help us tune deeper into ourselves and see if we are living in alignment with our dharma and life purpose. We were both so nourished by this conversation, we hope you feel the same!
