Hitchhiker's Guide to Humanity
Bite-sized episodes, big perspective shifts.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity is the weirdest, wildest, most enlightening trip you never knew you needed.
Ever wonder why we’re here on Earth or why we’re expected to pay bills, feel feelings, and heal ancestral trauma with zero instructions? Yeah, same. But don’t worry, we're in this together.
Created by somatic energy practitioner and author Erica Chapman, Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity is a bi-weekly exploration of consciousness, healing, and what it means to be human.
Erica was raised on SNL, Scooby-Doo, and pizza rolls, with a side-eye for authority and a hunger for deeper truth. She’s a certified energy healer with a background in non-profit orgs, communications, and digital marketing. She holds a degree in Journalism & Advertising from CMU, and is the author of Teach Me to Forget, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
Let’s navigate this wild ride together!

Peace, love, and interdimensional shenanigans to you all! 💫
