About Erica “The Queen of Teen”

Born in Rocky Point, Long Island, New York, Erica made the bold move to California during her senior year of high school — a shift that would spark a lifelong journey of resilience, reinvention, and purpose. A multi-sport athlete, she went on to play several sports in college and earned the title of Walk-On MVP for Westmont College’s soccer team, where she later graduated with a degree in Economics and Business.

After nearly 30 years coaching youth athletes, Erica launched TeenSportsRadio — a vibrant radio show and podcast that has become a powerful platform for teens, nonprofits, and local businesses across Santa Barbara and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, she has donated over $1 million in free advertising back to the community, turning the spotlight on hundreds of youth and community voices that might otherwise go unheard.

Erica is the published author of seven children’s books (available on Amazon) and an accomplished abstract artist — with her work showcased at www.ezepiphanyart.com. Her creative spirit, matched with a fierce commitment to service, fuels everything she does. She actively raises funds for www.SBWellness.org, volunteers with the Theosophical Books for the Blind, Inc., and feeds the unhoused in her community each week. As a growing influencer and conscious media leader, Erica continues to expand TeenSportsRadio, now ranked among the Top 25 in Health and Fitness on iHeartRadio.

TeenSportsRadio: Off the Air — Post-Show Deep Dive


“Where the mics go off… and the real talk begins.”


Welcome back to TeenSportsRadio: Off the Air — the space where we kick off our headphones, the ON-AIR sign goes dark, and the real conversations roll in. This is the after-glow of the show… the stories, the laughs, the wisdom, and the soul talk that happens when nobody thinks the tape is rolling (spoiler: it always is).


Today’s Off-the-Air session was 🔥.


We wandered into everything from re-writing our past, to self-love lessons, to Gandhi, to full glasses of air and water, to why life gets easier when we stop trying to be perfect.


Here’s what went down:

💬 Changing Your Story Changes Your Life

The crew dove into the idea that history doesn’t exist as a fixed thing.

It’s really a story we keep telling ourselves — and when we reframe it, the emotional weight shifts.

Switch the meaning → change the present → unlock the future.

The glass isn’t half full or half empty.

It’s full — half water, half air — and you get to choose what it’s full of.


💬 Rewrite the Childhood Narrative

Erica shared her new practice: retelling old childhood memories through a kinder, more empowering lens.

Not ignoring the past…

But choosing not to give the negative stories free rent.

“If I keep repeating the old stories, I keep reliving them. If I pick the good ones — even if there aren’t many — I get to live those instead.”

That’s healing in real time.


💬 Main Character Energy

Christine dropped a gem:

We’re all the main character in our own story — and a side character in everyone else’s.

Put YOURSELF back in first position.

Fill your own cup.

Then share from overflow, not depletion.

Gandhi even made an appearance:

“Get off the back of the person you’re riding.”

Translation: Make sure you’re not unconsciously letting others carry your weight.


💬 Your Stories Change Other People Too

Even a negative story can spark something positive in someone else.

Your lessons can become someone else’s breakthrough.

Teens especially — THIS is gold.

Share your life. Share your learning.

Someone else will hear exactly what they needed.


💬 Acceptance > Perfection

Christine reminded us:

“This is a perfection-free zone.”


Nothing is perfect.

Nothing is personal.

Nothing is permanent.


Tattoo that on your mirror.


💬 Meditation Mic Drop

Dominique brought the mindfulness mantra of the week:

“Nothing’s perfect, nothing’s personal, nothing’s permanent.”

Say it again.

And breathe.


🌟 

Final Vibe

This Off-the-Air session was raw, real, reflective, funny, deep, and beautifully human.

Exactly what this segment is meant to be.

Thank you for hanging with us after hours.

Stick around — the best stuff always happens when the show ends.

You got this!

— From Dominique Hackett, Santa Barbara Wellness Center, Inc.

And as always for TeenSportsRadio:

Be good. Do good. God bless you, and let’s go Santa Barbara!

  • From Erica your Queen of Teen

About Erica “The Queen of Teen”

Born in Rocky Point, Long Island, New York, Erica made the bold move to California during her senior year of high school — a shift that would spark a lifelong journey of resilience, reinvention, and purpose. A multi-sport athlete, she went on to play several sports in college and earned the title of Walk-On MVP for Westmont College’s soccer team, where she later graduated with a degree in Economics and Business.

After nearly 30 years coaching youth athletes, Erica launched TeenSportsRadio — a vibrant radio show and podcast that has become a powerful platform for teens, nonprofits, and local businesses across Santa Barbara and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, she has donated over $1 million in free advertising back to the community, turning the spotlight on hundreds of youth and community voices that might otherwise go unheard.

Erica is the published author of seven children’s books (available on Amazon) and an accomplished abstract artist — with her work showcased at www.ezepiphanyart.com. Her creative spirit, matched with a fierce commitment to service, fuels everything she does. She actively raises funds for www.SBWellness.org, volunteers with the Theosophical Books for the Blind, Inc., and feeds the unhoused in her community each week. As a growing influencer and conscious media leader, Erica continues to expand TeenSportsRadio, now ranked among the Top 25 in Health and Fitness on iHeartRadio.
