About Erica Risberg, Ph.D.

Erica has, since childhood been a curious one.  She connected deeply with animals and land at a young age.  When she was 12, she received guidance that she would get a Ph.D., and then set on a quest to obtain it. She was always curious about what the ‘other’ was, and why there was a separation between men and women.  She didn’t get it.  She spent 14 years in college uncovering culture, what prompted revolutions, and the nuances of radio programming to try to understand humanity at a deeper level.  She didn’t know this at the time, but this was her soul’s calling – to uncover what connects all of us and share what she’s learned to help others.  When she turned 40, her father died from a staph infection incurred while dealing with pancreatitis.  That sent her on a spiritual quest. She up-ended her job to start her passion of storytelling as a voiceover talent.  Four years ago, she had another awakening.  Following a meditation that focused on healing the wounds from the Paris bombings in 2015, she took a vow of peace.  She didn’t know what that meant, other than to eliminate violence from her life.  For six months, she divested herself of movies, literature, and music that were her staples – all of which had elements of violence.  As she tuned in more to her inner knowing, she’s found that she’s been drawn to more sustainable living.  She’s also found her food choices have shifted dramatically, and she is currently almost all plant based.  She developed the podcast “All Things in the Name of Love” as a way to share her journey and the spiritual journeys of others to help her listeners on their path of self-discovery.
