Hi, I'm Erica Blake

I created this podcast to give survivors a place to feel seen, heard, and understood. This podcast isn't about having all the answers it's about creating a space where survivors can share their truth and find support

I've always been drawn to music, writing, and honest conversations about the things people are often afraid to talk about. After experiencing abuse myself, I decided to dedicate myself to helping others who have faced similar struggles.

I'm currently working toward a career as an artist while building projects that combine creativity with purpose. Whether I'm writing songs, creating content, or hosting a podcast, my goal is the same to tell meaningful stories that connect with people on a deeper level

When I'm not recording episodes, you'll find me writing music, learning new skills, spending time with friends, or at a Renaissance fair
