What happens when the life you planned is no longer the life you're living?
In this episode of the Hi Felicia Podcast, I sit down with Jenny Erickson for a powerful conversation about grief, reinvention, energy, motherhood, and having the courage to create a life that actually feels like yours.
After experiencing the devastating loss of her children's father, Jenny found herself redefining what it meant to be a mother, a woman, and a business owner. Instead of simply trying to rebuild what existed before, she began asking a different question:
What do I want my life to look and feel like now?
We talk about creating the life you desire in the present moment, aligning your energy with the things you say you want, and simple practices using herbs, teas, and intentional moments to reconnect with yourself.
Jenny also shares her decision to dramatically downsize her life, move into a van, and hit the road — and what that experience is teaching her about freedom, fear, possessions, motherhood, and choosing your dreams even when real-life constraints exist.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Creating your dream life without waiting for the "perfect" circumstances
- What energy alignment actually looks like in everyday life
- Simple ways to shift your energy in the moment
- Using herbs and teas as intentional wellness practices
- Reinventing yourself after profound loss
- Allowing grief and joy to exist at the same time
- Why Jenny decided to downsize her life and move into a van
- Freedom vs. responsibility — and why they don't have to be mutually exclusive
- Letting go of the version of life you thought you were supposed to have
- Making bold choices when there are still very real constraints
- Giving yourself permission to want something different
This conversation is a reminder that reinvention doesn't always begin because you're ready.
Sometimes life changes the plan for you.
And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is decide what you want to create from here.
