Meet Erica
Hi, I’m Erica—writer, speaker, and creator of Open Sky Stories. I believe in the power of stories to help us heal, connect, and make sense of the messy, beautiful stuff of being human. Whether I’m leading a workshop, writing children’s books about big feelings, or speaking to a room full of curious minds, I aim to create spaces where people feel safe, seen, and inspired to share their own stories.
