Erica Christine

Luxury Event & Travel Planner

Lives in Houston. Loves to travel and find new adventures. Afraid of dogs.

How did you get started in your career? 

 2009 is when I started! I have an MBA in entrepreneurship and a certification in wedding and event planning.

Any advice you’d like to share with someone who wants to follow a similar path? Just get out there and do it. Don’t get into a bunch of debt with a fancy office, etc. You can literally do this career from home.

How do you care for your mental health? I have a therapist and I also find journaling and long distance running very calming and therapeutic. I have a small circle but I also try to hear from God as well.

How was mental health handled in your family? It was not discussed or talked about at all up until 5 years ago

What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to travel and shop

What do you do for self-care? I workout, unplug, and take naps.

If you could wine & dine any woman of the past or present, who would it be? My mama! She’s a true champion! She even beat breast cancer! I’d take her out the country to get fresh fish from the ocean like Barbados or Jamaica

As a woman, what are some challenges you face in your everyday life? Endometriosis and having low energy because of it when wanting to complete my tasks is the hardest

What do you admire about the women in your life? I admire their strength and tenacity

Best piece of advice a woman has given you? Love someone in all four seasons before you marry them

What myth would you like to clear up about women? We are capable to manage and work without being sensitive and emotional

Who’s your favorite female historical figure? Oprah cus of course it’s Oprah

How do you honor the legacy of women in your life? Keep fighting each day to better myself

What family traditions did you learn from the women in your life?  We love to cook and they passed down recipes

Do you have a mantra or life rule for yourself? Be 100% present where your feet meet the earth

Any recipes you can share? Umm that’s tough. I don’t write or measure or time. But I make great boozy berries with strawberries, OJ, sugar & Grand Marnier

Anything else you’ like to share? I’m a Crohn’s disease warrior as well. Working currently to get back in remission.
