Today we’d like to introduce you to Erica Spiegelman.
Hi Erica, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My entire career is built on one radical act: choosing to live. After changing my life 17 years ago, I went back to school at UCLA, becoming an addiction counselor and working in Los Angeles and Malibu treatment centers.
In 2015, I shared my philosophy in the bestselling book “Rewired: A Bold New Approach to Addiction and Recovery.”This led to a thriving private practice, six more books, co-founding the New Spirit Recovery inpatient center, and ultimately, launching Rewired Academy. Now, as a speaker and CEO, I provide courses and programs to people worldwide, empowering them to stop surviving and start rewiring their lives through dedicated self-care. It all started with my own choice—and now I can help people choose themselves too.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There has been days where there is burnout and struggle around, trying to help different demographics and populations when we are dealing with something like addiction, recovery and wellness. Everyone can relate to the principles behind recovery so I have struggled with trying to help every day people on self care, to focusing on the addiction community, to focusing on incarcerated Individuals so that has been the struggle of where to focus my time and energy.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am known for creating a evidence based methodology or modality called the Rewired method, the rewired method is a system that I’ve created to help people recover upgrade their self-care system, and live their best lives. I write about the Rewired method in books, workbook, coloring books, and affirmation book and speak about the foundation of mental, emotional physical and spiritual self-care, when it comes to everyday life and for people in recovery.. I am a counselor best selling author, speaker and business owner who wants to help change the landscape of the wellness industry.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Helping others live their best lives, being with my two children and family, taking walks, listening to music, taking baths, art, cooking, traveling, and wandering around markets all over the world
