Hitchhiker's Guide to Humanity
Short episodes I Big perspective shifts
Ever wonder why we’re here or why we have to pay bills, feel all the feelings, and somehow stay sane in a society that caters to the greedy and rich? Hey, me too. Join me, Erica, energy healer, author, and fellow human for our weekly trip to Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity.
This is an exploration into what's human, what's spiritual, and WT actual F should we be doing when *gestures wildly at everything*
Host Erica was raised on SNL, Scooby-Doo, and pizza rolls, with a side-eye for authority and passion (maybe an obsession) to see beneath the masks we wear. She is an energy healer, photographer, and author of Teach Me to Forget, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
Let’s navigate this wild ride together!
Podcast on a break May-June 2026, will be back in July for season 4!
Until next time. Peace and love, to you all!
Hitchhiker's Guide to Humanity
Hitchhiker’s Guide to: Are We Living in a Brave New World, 1984, or Both?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are we living in Orwell’s 1984, Huxley’s Brave New World, or some cursed mashup of both?
Censorship? Check. Distractions? Check. Billionaires hoarding wealth like emotionally stunted demons? Check.
In this episode, we tear through the illusion of normalcy and ask:
What happens when people stop thinking for themselves and start defending the very systems keeping them stuck?
We cover:
- Why dystopia doesn’t need chains, just comfort and routine
- How to build a belief system that’s actually yours
- Why are people defending the 0.0001%?
- The insidious creep of fascism through media, money, and fear
- Why real revolution starts inside your own nervous system
Also: patriarchy, trans rights, immigration myths, and the dumbass idea that borders should matter more than human lives. No one owns your mind unless you give it away. You get to believe what you feel is true, just make sure it’s not hurting someone else in the process.
Your host, Erica, is an Energy Translator and author of Teach Me to Forget (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers). Raised on SNL, Scooby-Doo, and pizza rolls; she brings a side-eye for authority and a hunger for deeper truth. With a gift for decoding both human behavior and patterns, she makes spiritual insights both relatable and fun.
