Hi, I’m Erica -
Author, Speaker, Podcaster, Spiritual Seeker, and Funny Gal
Erica Gumieny, MS
I'm also a deep thinker, recovering people-pleaser, champion of the underdog, and someone who can make you laugh and cry in the same minute (it's my superpower).
See that? I don't fit in just ONE box, and I know you don't either. I'm here to help you shed those limiting stories you've been telling yourself, find the humor in life's messiest moments, and create genuine connections that remind you just how extraordinary you truly are.
Whether you need a a speaker who leaves your audience both inspired and entertained, a dynamic emcee who can read a room like nobody's business, or a facilitator who transforms heavy topics into moments of clarity, I'm your person. No corporate BS, just authentic connection and the occasional perfectly-timed joke.
The highly anticipated book, Journey from the Ashes, and the companion journal now available on Amazon!
The Real Deal:
Where Inspiration Meets Action
I help people break through the stories that hold them back, creating spaces where laughter and deep insights collide. Whether I'm facilitating a workshop, commanding a stage, or MCing your event—I bring the perfect blend of heart, humor, and just enough realness to make meaningful change happen.
I believe in cutting through the noise and getting to what matters. My approach combines deep spiritual insights with practical action steps (and just enough humor to keep things interesting).
What lights me up:
Creating meaningful connections that inspire change
Transforming limiting beliefs into stepping stones
Finding the funny in life's messiest moments
Helping you reconnect with your authentic self

Bringing Spark, Sass, and Seriously Good Vibes!
Maybe it’s age or the well-earned wrinkles formed from a life filled with joys, twists, turns and the occasional funky times, but this girl just wants to shed the nonsense, follow God, and have some fun in the process.
Can you relate?
Do you also find yourself seeking something inspirational and light hearted?
Well then….
