The moments that change everything started with 

When Erica's son Luca died suddenly at four months old, the world did not end. But everything reorganized around his absence. Her patience for curated versions of reality quietly disappeared. And she started noticing something she could not unsee.

The most honest conversations were not happening on stages or in interviews. They were happening in hallways, on late-night calls, in the minutes after a meeting ended and someone finally exhaled. People were carrying real things and there was no format built for the way they actually needed to talk about them.

At the Brink is not a grief podcast. It is not a comeback story. It is the conversation that starts when someone stops performing and starts telling the truth. 


She built it because she went looking for that show and it did not exist.

THE STORIES

BEHIND

THE MOMENT

At the Brink is a podcast about inflection points and the people who have lived them. Loss. Reinvention. Founding something from nothing. Leaving what no longer fit. Surviving the unthinkable. Building what did not yet exist.
What they share is a moment. The kind that changes everything.

All of it shapes the work.

The show is only part of it.

Her focus spans brand strategy, commercial transformation, revenue growth and organizational leadership at scale — drawn directly from two decades of doing it.

Over the years she has also sat one-on-one with women navigating inflection points in their careers — the moments when the next move is unclear, when ambition and identity are at odds, or when the title changed but the support did not. Those conversations do not have a formal name. They are some of the most important things she does.

If you are building something and need someone who has actually been in your seat, she would like to talk.
