When Goddess Erica and her husband opened up their marriage, her husband helped demonstrate how she deserved to be treated. “I don't want to say that he gave me the standards, but he helped me get to a point where I realized that l my low bar is worship,” she explained in our interview. But this realization wasn’t the only thing that led to Erica claiming her Goddess title. Becoming a mom was also a big part of the journey of learning how she felt about herself: “I gave up my body and was willing to give up my personhood for my son. I chose to be an entity that would do anything for this kid. And then you take just a half step further and you're like, I'm willing to do anything for them —  I'm willing to do anything for myself. And if that's not God, then what is?” To Goddess Erica, claiming divinity has everything to do with a fierce and radical self-love. Now she’s on a mission to change the world by helping others recognize their own divinity. She runs a mission-based agency that works with businesses and individuals to provide everything from marketing support to doula services. On the podcast, she tells us her history from growing up as the granddaughter of a Southern Baptist minister to the impact of having a child and opening up her marriage. We also explore the dynamics involved in goddess worship, how to live an orgasmic life and consider an orgasmic death. Goddess Erica is an Orgasmic Doula, specializing in personal empowerment and pleasure- centered childbirth. With a mission of normalizing kink, gender identity, polyamory and radical self-love, her creative services agency offers group workshops, individual coaching and marketing support for sex-positive businesses.
