Meet Ericka

Because I’m an engineer at heart, I process everything through numbers. I did that for many years in my financial coaching business until one couple taught me that there is so much more to this story. When the wife mentioned the need to please her parents and we all saw how much it was costing them, she wept. Her husband looked at me and simply said, “Thank You. I didn’t know what was in the way of us succeeding financially. Now that I see the need to please was a large culprit, I feel confident we can make progress as a team.”

That is when I realized there is so much more beyond the numbers.  It is easy to focus on the dollars and sense without tackling the beliefs, behaviors, or strongholds that got you into this situation to begin with.  Since then, I’ve shifted my focus to understanding what is really holding you back.  

No matter who the audience is there is always more to their financial story than meets the eye.  I love helping others understand the external forces at play in the college decision process and how to overcome them to make good choices.

It invigorates me to help couples find synergy in their relationship by uncovering the past, facing the present, and dreaming about their future together.  Businesses and organizations need me to help reduce the stress their employees experience with practical money tools and skills.

Everyone needs to understand the real reason you haven’t been able to conquer money.  I am here to bring the enthusiasm, knowledge, and hidden gems that make a transformative impact on your personal and professional bottom line.  It’s time to go beyond the numbers.

Students and adults that we work with share how much they appreciate Ericka’s financial literacy sessions. Ericka shares information about ways to plan to prepare to pay for college, and ways to use a budget to get on track financially. Ericka’s work is in line with our mission of working with underserved individuals. I strongly recommend Ericka for your financial education.”

“It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Ericka in 2023, in the Michigan Women Forward Credit Restoration Program. Through this opportunity, Ericka provided one-on-one coaching to women/minority entrepreneurs who were working to improve their credit by evaluating and setting financial budgets and goals. Ericka is an amazing coach who really cares about the success of others. I am looking forward to engaging with Ericka and referring clients to her in the future.”

-Mayra V, Technical Assistance Manager at Michigan Women Forward

“Ericka performed a keynote address and facilitated a 1/2 day workshop for our sales summit during the Fall of 2022. She received the highest ratings of any speaker we partnered with over the previous 9 years! This was not a surprise. Ericka delivered a powerful message in an engaging and energizing way. Moreover, she went to great lengths to make sure she understood our business; delivering a highly personalized experience. Prior to the event, I found our interactions alone to be worth the investment as I learned a lot from Ericka's style and insight. If you are looking for advice about why you need a financial health coach in your life or how to become a great financial coach, I suggest starting with Ericka.”

-Ryan C, Chief Retail Officer at Empeople Credit Union
