Erika Michelle Cherry, MS, LMHC
Empowerment Speaker
Psychotherapist, Empowerment Coach, and Curator of Stories, Erika Michelle Cherry is on a mission to empower women, especially women of color, to shed narratives of social conditioning and start embodying intentional choices that lead to the most authentic, empowered versions of themselves in life and business.
​
"I believe that as women we inherently possess a power that across time and generations has been diminished or suppressed. My ultimate goal is to help other women, especially women of color, reignite their power, and free themselves from internalized messages associated with patriarchy, racism, misogyny, sexism... basically any story that tells them they are too much of one thing or not enough of something else. I want them to feel empowered to write their own narratives of unrelenting higher standards; of winning emotional battles with dignity, strength, and agility; of purpose and value driven leadership and impact; of intentionally defined healing and wellness; and of unwavering confidence and empowerment".

The Space Between
There is a quote often attributed to Jewish Psychologist, Viktor Frankl that reads:
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom".
The problem is, many of us have been socially conditioned into automatic responses that we miss opportunities to connect with our power in the space between.
In this inquisitive talk, Psychotherapist and Empowerment Coach Erika Michelle Cherry invites audiences to be curious about why their responses are what they are, and leaves them with tips and strategies to access their own power to choose, grow, and be free
Other topics related to the wellness of entrepreneurs, female empowerment, mindset, confidence, and identity can be tailored to your audiences specific needs.
