Hi, I'm ERICA
I want to help you create financial breathing room through freelancing (without going into debt).
Former healthcare employee turned top 1% Upwork freelancer who built a location-independent, freedom-based business after my employer suggested I "close my office door" as an accommodation for chronic illness. (I closed their door permanently instead.)
Now I teach practical, fluff-free freelance skills while traveling the country in my RV, showing others how to replace financial anxiety with actual stability—no hustle culture or morning routines required. 🚐
