Welcome. I'm Erika Bogan.

I help organizations, universities, retreats, and communities understand how trauma shapes the mind — and how a single shift in thinking can transform everything.

After a turning point nearly eighteen years after becoming paralyzed due to domestic violence, I rebuilt my life through one anchoring question: “What can we do right now with what we have?” That question is now the foundation of my keynote and workshop experiences.

I teach trauma-aware leadership, resilience under pressure, and the mental shifts that help teams, students, and individuals move out of survival mode and into purposeful action.

What I Speak About

Trauma Aware Leadership

How stress, adversity, and unseen struggles impact communication, performance, and culture — and how leaders can create emotionally regulated teams.

Resilience & Identity Transformation

Tools for rewriting your story, navigating pressure, and shifting the mind after trauma or major life transitions.

Hope-Centered Mindset Work

Practical strategies for grounding the nervous system, moving out of survival mode, and choosing empowering internal narratives.
