Description

What happens when you finally step away from the noise long enough to hear your own thoughts again?


In this Season 11 opener of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica — founder, coach, and creator of the No.vember Challenge — returns from a 10-day unplugged retreat in the Colorado mountains with three life-shifting lessons for women navigating divorce, healing, boundaries, and self-leadership.

These are the truths that help you choose yourself, protect your energy, and walk away from anything that no longer supports your growth.


🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways

  • You are always in charge of your own experience — even when life feels chaotic.

  • Protect someone else’s joy without abandoning your own needs.

  • Honor your energy by stepping back without guilt or over-explaining.

  • Leaving misaligned rooms is one of the most loving acts of self-respect.

  • Boundaries are about your actions, not someone else’s behavior.

  • Saying “no” creates the space for your “hell yes” life.

    • Your healing reshapes the spaces, relationships, and opportunities you choose.
