Helping women shatter ceilings

&

Close gaps

Hey, FRIEND! IF YOU'RE TIRED OF

Outworking everyone and still watching someone else get promoted

Being the one who holds it all together but never gets the credit

Watching AI change everything while no one shows you how to use it

Hitting a ceiling you can't see but feel every single day

YOU'RE in the RIGHT PLACE. 

I'M ERICA, BY THE WAY...

And I 6x'd my salary while rising to Chief People Officer.

Then I walked away from the bro-culture that no longer matched my values.  Now I help women get into positions of power and stay ahead of AI.

Glass Ceilings & Sticky Floors is a weekly conversation about how women accellerate their career and lead in the age of AI.

​

From the sticky floors that keep you stuck, to the ceilings you can't see but feel every day, to the AI gap deciding who gets ahead next.

​​You'll get real talk on the mindset, the burnout, and the systems working exactly as they were designed, plus candid conversations with leaders, experts, and women who've broken through and refused to play small.

​

All to help you go from stuck and overlooked to bold, visible, and building power on your own terms.
