ERIKA STRAUB

Calling you forward so you can lead and love from SELF.

I’m Erika, a therapist turned SELF development entrepreneur. I teach, mentor, write, and speak internationally on the journey from trauma to love and leadership. I help people embrace vulnerability and responsibility so they can get to the other side. I believe healing trauma is a spiritual experience that connects you to your purpose, your people, and your power. My purpose is to call you forward.

ERIKA’S SIGNATURE MASTERMIND

Self Sourced

A Guided Group Journey from Shame back to SELF

Shame is toxic when it resides within you where SELF is meant to be. SELF is synonymous with worthiness.

You cannot feel safe, deserving, or with esteem, if you’re leading from shame. Instead, you pretend you’re okay, you perform, please, and manicure an image of perfection that contributes to an immense amount of loneliness and longing. 

Join an intimate group of women for a live 8 week mastermind designed to help you connect to your worth, accept all parts of you, and learn how to live from your most authentic SELF. 

Can you see your SELF without the filter of shame?

SELF Source will guide you to:

  • Believe and live from your sense of worth

  • Activate and elevate your life force energy

  • Release protective and defensive parts 

  • Accept the parts of you that feel harder to love

  • Care and advocate for your needs

  • Value vulnerability over validation

  • Upgrade your victim story to your hero’s journey

  • Become an empathetic witness to your emotions 

  • Be intimate with all of who you are

BRAND
NEW!

  • And see your SELF clearly without the filter of shame.

SELF Sourced will combine live group calls with an 8 module course to guide you on the journey from SHAME back to SELF; where all good things flow from.

Mentorship

Imagine a life where you feel connected, aligned, and inspired. 

Mentorship is for you if you’re:

  • Feeling left behind and alone

  • Facing starting over

  • Struggling to “adult” well 

  • Coming out of survivalism

  • Unsure how to meet your needs

  • Navigating the liminal space

  • Recovering from heartbreak 

  • Aching from childhood trauma 

  • Rewiring dysfunctional patterns 

  • Wondering where you belong 

  • Avoiding enforcing boundaries

  • Playing it safe and small 

Together we will get you to the other side. I will be a guide as you discover the truth inside of your heart, help you overcome the resistance towards getting out of your comfort zone, and be an empathetic witness to you embodying who you’re meant to be.

If you feel a call for more, to slow down and look inside, to learn how to accept support in real vulnerability, let’s go on this journey of SELF love and SELF leadership together.

I connected with Erika during a pivotal point in my life.

What felt like my life burning to the ground was reframed into consciously engaging and creating the reality I wanted to see. Addressing traumas trauma and patterns deeply woven into my being through experiences of programming allowed me to access the freedom that can't be found outside of self. I'm so grateful for Erika's presence and guidance that helped me to remember just how empowering life can be. The shift from survival to thriving is possible and Erika was a huge part of that reality coming and to freshen.

Finding Erika was a breath of fresh air for me!

I've been through multiple therapists and never found any one as compassionate and understanding as she has been. She gave me the tools I needed and practiced them with me, which helped tremendously! Erika explained how the body and mind are connected to each other and helped me understand why I was feeling the way I was feeling. Her calm voice and manner will also give you an amazing peace. Overall she's the best practitioner I've had! Highly recommend if you're looking for help. Thank you Erika.

Erika helped me grow in so many aspects of my life.

I wasn't able to really begin to heal from past traumas until I gave myself permission to slow down and be OK with experiencing the feelings caused from those traumas. For so long I had been distracting myself by overworking I believe that any “negative feelings” I had­­­­ needed to be immediately dismissed. With help from Erika, I began to understand the importance of acknowledging those emotions and then releasing them. I started to give myself permission to put up boundaries, stop myself sacrificing habits and be OK with loving myself just how I am through this process of healing and growth period while I still have a ways to go, I finally feel as though I'm coming back to my true self.
