Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors
Shattering Limiting Beliefs and Toxic Behaviors to Uncover Infinite Possibilities
Do you struggle with impostor syndrome, perfectionism, fear, or burnout? Maybe success and fulfillment have been your goal, but you're stuck and can't move forward.
Women face unique challenges in the workplace, and many end up staring at a glass ceiling. But what if it wasn’t the glass ceiling holding you back, but instead your own “sticky floors”—the limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors within your control?
Erica is a sticky floor survivor. As a high-achieving ceiling breaker and C-level leader, she masked her struggles to everyone around her—even herself. From feelings of being an impostor to using wine to cope with burnout, she masked until she was faced with the shocking reality that she could lose everything. Finally, she examined her deeply held beliefs about being a “perfect” wife, mom, and executive and, ultimately, was able to snap out of her sticky floors and find fulfillment. Now Erica uses her stories to help other women navigate their paths to success.
