Some conversations feel like soul connections, and that’s exactly how I felt sitting down with Dr. Erica Kreismann. Her journey from emergency medicine in New York—beginning just months before 9/11—to packing up her family and moving across the world to Tasmania is nothing short of remarkable. Through it all, what stands out most is her adventurous spirit, her heart for service, and her deep belief in the power of presence.

In our conversation, Erica shares how burnout pushed her to reimagine life, what Tasmania taught her about slowing down, and why connection—whether with patients, colleagues, or loved ones—is the true heartbeat of healing. We talk about embracing fear as part of growth, letting go of judgment to make space for curiosity, and the life-changing shift that comes when you finally choose to fill your own cup first.

A few gems you’ll hear along the way:

• Why learning to be present is one of the greatest skills we can practice
• How fear isn’t a sign to stop—it’s an invitation to step forward with courage
• The radical responsibility we must take for our healing and growth

Erica’s story is a powerful reminder that life is an adventure meant to be lived fully, even when it feels uncertain.
