Welcome to what’s Eating Erica Jacobs!
This is a faith-based, recovery-focused exploration into what it means to create, renew and restore this world, through hard conversations, parable and more than a few curse words.
This podcast is NOT instructions for how to heal afflictions and hurts, but a journey through recovering in real-time. I am no expert, and I am not on the other side of addiction, but I know there is a way we can heal and thrive in the presence of each other. I know that by being ruthlessly honest in our search for freedom, and by sharing our experience with each other, we can cultivate a reality that is wired with faith, strength and balls.
This podcast will include parable, story telling, poetry and conversations & interviews with real people who want what you want--the peace and grace to participate in the ongoing creation of the world in ways that are liberating and meaningful.
I'm grateful you are here! Let's heal, let's know God a bit better, and let's for sure say some swear words sometimes!

Episode 49 | An Apology From My Mother...That She Didn't Write
On January 6th of this year, I rang in my 34th birthday by gathering some friends over zoom who were more than willing to take turns reading the apology I deserve from my mother but will never receive.
As I was putting an end to the normalization of abuse and lack of accountability in my own relationships, our country was witnessing the repercussions of that normalization.
I pray that as I continue re-sensitizing myself to what is wrong, cruel and in violation of humanity, that I am able to take right action as I’m doing in my own life.
Thank you Marissa, Lexi, Emily, Laura, Lindsey, Charlotte and everyone who listens to this recording, for seeing me through the end of a devastating and harmful 33-year relationship with my mother and the beginning of a profoundly freeing and loving relationship with myself. -

Erica is my Spirit Animal
Honest, vulnerable, and utterly hilarious... I want to be Erica when I grow up. Not only is this podcast entertaining, but it’s informative as well! Prepare for epiphanies and greater self-awareness.
A Star Is Born
First of all, Erica has the voice of an angel and I’m so glad it’s now being pumped into my ears through this podcast. Home girl was made to be a voice in this world. Her words are thoughtful and poetic and true and need to be heard by anyone who is willing to listen.
