My Story

Hi, I'm Ericka Bradford, a wife, homeschooling mom of four, and a business mentor dedicated to helping others create true and lasting success online. My personal path to building a thriving business wasn’t always smooth. It was a journey marked by struggle, self-discovery, and ultimately, transformation.

Growing up, success was defined by climbing the career ladder, building a name, and achieving financial independence. The idea of being a stay-at-home mom was never part of the plan. Everywhere, the message was clear—having success outside the home was not just important but essential.

But after having four kids in under four years, yes there's twins in there, I found myself completely confused about who I was. I was constantly exhausted, drowning in responsibilities, and questioning my sense of self. Who was I without a career? This was the very thing I had been taught I must relentlessly pursue.

But, I couldn't imagine dropping my children off somewhere everyday, to pursue a paycheck... and frankly, the cost of childcare alone made it difficult to justify. And working to make money just to pay someone else to take care of them didn't sit right with me.

So it seemed for at least the time being, staying home with them made the most sense. I had some in home help, but my husband was away to work from before the kids were up until after they went to bed. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement.

By 2015, things spiraled out of control for me. I was exhausted, still just under a year postpartum, breastfeeding our youngest, and our twins were struggling in many ways. Feeling alone, and overwhelmed, my whole world came crashing down on me late that summer.

It was the perfect recipe for disaster, and my mental health just imploded. I had unresolved childhood trauma that refused to be silenced anymore, which resulted in what could only be called a mental break.

That same Fall, my mother-in-law died, my mother had a stroke, and our twins were diagnosed with Autism. I clung on for dear life, and lived in a state of survival mode.

Therapy sessions, Neurofeedback, EMDR, Trauma Informed Yoga, Craniosacral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Support Groups... and every modality under the sun was employed to survive the onslaught of traumatic memories I was experiencing.

The twins were receiving physical, speech, and occupational therapies three times a week, and in a two day a week early education program. They were struggling to even communicate with us at 3 years old.

I'm summarizing years of struggle here. But even writing this out brings tears to my eyes. It was an incredibly painful time that I sometimes wonder how we even made it through

But through this experience I found myself further questioning who I was... and who I wanted to be. Getting better was of course my top priority because I wanted to be there for our children. And I learned that so many of the expectations I had been placing on myself weren't actually my own.

It became more and more clear that I wanted full control over my life. I wanted to be fully present for my children, while also honoring my own abilities, experience, and skill. I hadn't quite figured out yet how I was going to create that life, but I knew that it would need to be on my terms.

By 2017, I was well into my journey of healing, but still very deep in processing trauma. I was really looking for ways to carve out my own identity as just Ericka and not a mom, while still being present as a mother. I tried my hand at and successfully sold second hand clothing online. I really enjoyed searching for special items and finding deals, but found the whole thing to be extremely cumbersome and time consuming.

In the Fall of that year, after searching online, watching countless webinars and signing up for every course and opportunity out there, I found a unicorn.

Everything I had previously found online was full of endless tasks, hustle culture, and "boss babe" vibes. Promoting an endless cycle of finding leads, messaging everyone and their sister, closing as many sales as possible, and starting over from the beginning every single month. And it became pretty clear that unless you had a huge network, hustled your butt off, or had started early on, you were never going to be the one walking the stage and making real, life changing income.

But this was different. High ticket sales with a culture of community and support. Products that actually benefited people's lives. And a compensation plan that allowed for leveraged growth, scalability, and long term, lasting income––a unicorn.

So I ditched the clothing resale business and jumped it. And you know what? I had fast and scalable success! I had my first 5 figure month within 6 months of starting and was growing at an exponential pace. My sense of self was starting to come back the prouder I felt of my accomplishments. But...

I had fallen into a trap. Not only was I working all the time, part of the leveraging of the compensation plan meant I was supporting others to create financial freedom, and without a clear plan and a hustle culture, they weren't having the same level as success as I was. And this felt SO out of alignment.

I felt guilty about the amount of time I was dedicating to my business, especially because I couldn’t help the people who trusted me achieve the same level of success I was experiencing.

To make matters worse, my journey as a mother and my personal healing were being deeply affected.

I had basically created the very thing I set out to avoid.

So I quit.

Which crushed me. But it was the right thing to do. I never lost faith in the unicorn that I had found, but knew that continuing on the way I was would only further throw my whole life out of balance, which wasn't something I was willing to do.

I spent the next few years focusing on my continued healing, furthering my education in funnel systems, tech, personal branding and lead generation, and focusing on my personal life and wellbeing.

By 2020, my life felt more in balance. And then... well you know. The whole world changed over night.

Our kids were home from school, everything was weird, and I was questioning everything. The government, systems, levels of control, deception. And living in the country about 45 minutes outside of Portland, Oregon we felt safe for a bit, until it didn't.

Wildfires ravaged the eastern part of our state and our home was threatened with a smaller fire just 1 mile away. After the five months leading up to that moment, and uncovering some pretty insidious things going on regarding how the fires started, and how the state was mismanaging putting them out, everything changed for us.

Evacuating for almost a month brought us outside of the Oregon bubble into Montana and Idaho where we experienced a completely different world. One wear we weren't ostracized and attacked for not wanting to wear a mask. We could speak openly and freely about our Christianity without fear of retaliation (I once was yelled at in a store by a grown man after saying bless you to him after he sneezed). Life was...different, in other parts of the country.

My husband and I made the almost immediate decision that it was time for us to relocate so that we could raise our children in an environment that promotes autonomy, freedom, and values that align with our faith.

Six months later we had purchased a house, sight unseen in East Tennessee, and four months later, we had gotten rid of almost everything we owned and driven across the country. We pulled up to our log home on 11 acres with a creek, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was tough to make friends in a new town and took some time to get used to. But we fully embraced the culture of common curtesy, family values, freedom, personal autonomy, and religious priority. We were home.

Then in late 2022, with a growing homeschool community, friends, and beautiful life, I met my now mentor Louise Milleman. Louise is an off grid living, homesteading, unschooling mama to three beautiful girls.

And by sheer coincidence (or divine intervention) I discovered that she was successfully leading her own community using a business model I knew all about––the unicorn!

I felt so inspired by how she was building her business and the success she was seeing with those she was leading. She had created something I had only dreamed was possible.

We were fast friends, and I just knew that partnering with her was not only going to be amazing, but exactly what had been missing before. It's amazing what aligning yourself with the right mentors and support can do for you and your business.

So over the past two years, I've been successfully growing my business, supporting a beautiful group of people and community of hundreds all working towards lives they get to control. Not only have I achieved great financial success, I supported others to do the same. Which honestly feels so good.

And I've taken the education I learned during my years off and built automations that are changing the game for everyone and anyone who joins us. Utilizing personal branding, funnels, and email campaigns to nurture and educate leads, organic and paid strategies, the growth we are projecting is insane!

This is what I envisioned all those years ago, when I felt lost and uncertain about how I would make it through. I dreamed of living life on my own terms, building a business that supports that vision. A life where my time is focused on what truly matters to me and the people I care about. It's amazing to see it all come together now!

This business fulfills me in ways I never thought possible. Of course financially, there is nothing like earning 5 figure months. But the sense of community and pride I get to feel every single day knowing that the systems I've built, and the mentorship I provide are helping other's realize their own dreams for their lives––absolutely priceless.

I've built a business that aligned with my values and my vision of success, and now I get to help others do the same! Now, I help people—especially those who have been stuck in low-ticket business models, trading time for money, or burning out in traditional online marketing—break free and build something sustainable.

I work with people who are working hard but not seeing the results they want… or who have financial success but feel like other areas of their life are suffering. Because I know both sides of that struggle. And I also know there’s a better way.

So if you’re tired of the constant grind and want to build a business that actually works for you, I’d love to help. I’ve spent years refining the systems, strategies, and mentorship that truly make a difference, and I’m here to show you how to do the same.

Because success isn’t just about money. It’s about freedom. Alignment. And creating a life that truly fulfills you. And you deserve that. We all do. A life that feels exactly the way you want it to. I'd love to support you on that journey.
