The girlies are back on Escapes, and this episode is everything you would expect from a real life catch up between best friends.

From marriage and motherhood to business changes, personal growth, and learning to slow down enough to enjoy life, nothing is off limits in this conversation. The girls reflect on how much can change in a year and how important it is to embrace every season instead of fighting it.

The conversation dives into evolving friendships, balancing work and family life, navigating major transitions, and learning that success looks different in every season. Erika also opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship, the pressure of constantly trying to do it all, and the importance of making memories while you still can.

There are moments that will make you laugh, moments that will encourage you, and moments that will probably hit a little too close to home. It is honest, unfiltered, emotional, and full of the kind of conversations that remind you you are not alone in figuring life out.

In this episode of Escapes, Erika sits down with G to talk about what it really looks like to manage life when every bucket feels full.

From running multiple businesses to raising a family and maintaining a strong foundation at home, Erika shares how she navigates the constant pull between responsibilities. This conversation dives into time management, boundaries, discipline, and the reality that you cannot keep everything at 100 percent all the time.

Erika opens up about how she structures her days, why her calendar is non-negotiable, and how she sets clear expectations with clients, team members, and even her personal life. She also breaks down the “bucket” mindset and how learning to balance what matters most in each season can bring clarity and peace instead of overwhelm.

This is not about doing more. It is about doing what matters, with intention.

If you have ever felt stretched thin, pulled in every direction, or like you are trying to do it all, this episode will give you a new perspective on how to lead your time and your life with purpose.

In this episode of Escapes, Erika sits down with G to talk about the reality of entrepreneurship when nothing goes to plan.

They share the story behind a custom home that flooded just weeks before move-in after a water heater failed in the attic. From the immediate chaos to mobilizing crews and mitigation teams the same day, they walk through what it really takes to respond quickly while keeping clients calm in the middle of a crisis.

But the flood is only part of the story.

Erika and G open up about the challenges that often go unseen—clients walking away after extensive drafting and bidding, the emotional and financial toll of investing time into the wrong projects, and the reality that many plans clients bring in are far more expensive than they expect.

They also dive into the tension between custom builds and the appeal of spec homes, along with the red flags they are learning to recognize earlier in the process.

This is an honest conversation about pressure, leadership, and staying steady when everything feels like it is going left.

If you are building something of your own, this episode is a reminder that things will not always go according to plan—but how you respond is what defines you.
