Your Personal Best
02/04/2026
Your Personal Best
Comparison steals joy, confidence, and purpose—but it doesn’t have to win. In this powerful episode of Embracing the Fight, we dive deep into the idea of Your Personal Best and why comparing yourself to others is one of the biggest obstacles to greatness. From childhood peer pressure to adult expectations, we explore how comparison shapes identity, fuels insecurity, and creates mental anguish when goals are unrealistic. You’ll learn the difference between comparison and jealousy, why failure doesn’t disqualify you, and how focusing on improving past your own personal best is what truly leads to excellence—whether that’s a personal milestone, a gold medal, or a world record. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or discouraged by measuring their life against someone else’s timeline. In this episode, we discuss: • How peer pressure and comparison begin in childhood • The difference between comparison and jealousy—and why it matters • Why your only real competition is your personal best • The mental and emotional cost of unrealistic goals • How to recover from the pain of setting high goals and falling short • Practical steps to set realistic, healthy goals • How to teach children confidence, resilience, and self-discipline • Why giving up is not an option—ever Growth doesn’t come from comparison. Greatness doesn’t come from keeping up. It comes from consistently becoming better than you were yesterday. 🎧 Listen in, reflect, and recommit to your fight. 🎥 Subscribe & Stay Connected to Embracing the Fight Grow with a community that’s healing, empowering, and elevating—one episode at a time. ▶️ YouTube: 📸 Instagram: 🦋 BlueSky: 🐦 X (Twitter): 🎵 TikTok: 📘 Facebook: 🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Embracing the Fight?

Seasons of Life
01/28/2026
Seasons of Life
Life doesn’t move in straight lines—it moves in seasons. In today’s episode of Embracing the Fight, we’re having an honest, heart-centered conversation about the seasons of life we all experience: the seasons of becoming, breaking, healing, waiting, and thriving. This episode is an invitation to slow down, speak your truth, and honor exactly where you are—without guilt, comparison, or apology. Not every season is about growth. Some seasons are about survival. And surviving is still sacred. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure of what this chapter is asking of you, this episode is for you. We explore how to: ✨ Name your current season without judgment ✨ Speak your truth—even when your voice shakes ✨ Redefine what thriving looks like right now ✨ Walk fully in your season with confidence and compassion This is a space to breathe, reflect, and remember that you are not behind—you are becoming. 🎧 Take a deep breath and press play.

Autism
01/14/2026
Autism
In today’s episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica Lamar opens an important and timely conversation about Autism—what it is, what it isn’t, and why awareness must be rooted in understanding, not assumptions. This episode was inspired by the recent controversy surrounding Mattel’s release of an autistic Barbie, which sparked debate about representation and whether autism “has a look.” Erica breaks down why that narrative misses the bigger picture and shares the powerful story of Precious Hill, an autistic mother raising autistic children, whose daughter Mikko inspired the doll. The Barbie was never meant to represent the entire autism spectrum—but to bring awareness, spark inclusion, and normalize accommodations like sensory headphones, autistic-friendly clothing, and alternative communication styles. Erica also dives into: What autism is from a scientific and medical perspective What autism is not Why autism is called a spectrum Who autism impacts most, including statistics and underdiagnosis in women and communities of color Treatment and support options that improve quality of life Practical ways you can help create a more inclusive world Autism does not have a single look—but it does have lived experiences that deserve to be seen, heard, and respected. Together, we have a better world. 🎧 Listen with an open heart 💙 Learn with curiosity 🤝 Lead with inclusion #EmbracingTheFight #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity #InclusionMatters #AutisticVoices #AutismSpectrum #ParentingAutism #DisabilityRepresentation #MentalHealthAwareness

2025 Reflections
01/07/2026
2025 Reflections
2025 was not a highlight reel — it was a healing journey. This year of Embracing the Fight took us through vulnerability, faith, resilience, health, identity, purpose, and the courage it takes to keep showing up even when life is heavy. From deeply personal solo reflections to powerful guest conversations, each episode explored what it means to fight for yourself — mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Throughout the year, we talked about: Faith, grace, and healing — trusting God in the waiting, believing in miracles, and resting in the truth that healing is not weakness. Identity and purpose — navigating crossroads, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, trauma, and discovering how pain often reveals purpose. Health and the body — nutrition, physical activity, detoxing, perimenopause, midlife eating disorders, addiction, drug interactions, illness, and learning to listen to what the body is trying to say. Mental and emotional wellness — vulnerability, safe spaces, winter blues, grief, breath, rest, music, love, and the power of honest conversations. Survivorship and testimony — stories of survival, resilience, advocacy, ambition, motherhood, generational impact, and the strength required while waiting. Letting go and moving forward — releasing what no longer serves us, redefining family, embracing change, and choosing healing over hiding. Guests bravely shared their stories — from survivors and advocates to authors, healers, and coaches — reminding us that no fight is wasted, no story is small, and no season is permanent. This year was about: ✨ Choosing transparency ✨ Honoring rest ✨ Trusting God in the unknown ✨ Learning to be okay with being okay ✨ And continuing to fight — even when tired As we step into a new year, this reflection stands as proof that growth doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks like staying, breathing, believing, and trying again.

Windows
12/31/2025
Windows
In this powerful and reflective episode of Embracing the Fight, titled “Windows,” Erica pauses at the threshold of a new year. As December 31, 2025 comes to a close, she briefly begins to reflect on the year behind her—but is led to save the full Year in Review for the very first episode of 2026. Instead, she invites listeners into something just as meaningful: a conversation about windows—what they reveal, what they protect, and what they require of us. Through a faith-centered and deeply personal lens, Erica explores several dimensions of windows: ✨ Biblical windows — the promise of God to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings so abundant there isn’t room to receive them. What does it really mean to live open, expectant, and prepared for overflow? 👁️ Eyes as windows to the soul — what we allow ourselves to see, what we refuse to see, and how discernment, truth, and vulnerability are often revealed through the eyes. 🚪 Windows of opportunity — those fleeting moments in life when courage, obedience, and timing intersect. Will you recognize the window when it opens? Will you have the faith to step toward it? 🪟 The windows we look through — the ones that require cleaning. Erica reminds us that if our windows are clouded by pain, fear, unhealed trauma, or outdated beliefs, we may misinterpret what’s ahead. Sometimes clarity isn’t about changing the future—it’s about cleaning the lens through which we view it. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: What window is God opening for me? What window needs cleaning? And what blessing might I be blocking because I don’t believe I have room to receive it? As we close out 2025 together, Windows serves as a gentle but powerful reminder that preparation, perspective, and faith matter—especially when you’re standing on the edge of something new. 🎥 Subscribe & Stay Connected to Embracing the Fight Grow with a community that’s healing, empowering, and elevating—one episode at a time.

Drug Interactions
12/17/2025
Drug Interactions
Medications can save lives—but only when they’re used safely and intentionally. In today’s episode, we break down drug interactions and why understanding what you’re taking is just as important as taking it. Too often, people are prescribed medications without being told what to avoid, what warning signs to look for, or how one prescription can impact another. This episode is about empowerment, awareness, and advocacy for your health. In this episode, we discuss: ✔️ Why you should always know exactly what medications and supplements you’re taking ✔️ Foods, drinks, and activities that can interfere with medications ✔️ Common warning signs that may signal a medical emergency ✔️ Why every doctor you see—specialists included—needs your full medication list ✔️ When symptoms mean “wait and watch” vs. when to call the doctor immediately Additional drug-interaction considerations we cover: Over-the-counter meds and supplements that can quietly cause harm Mixing prescriptions with alcohol, caffeine, or recreational substances Changes in medication dosage, brand, or timing—and why they matter How age, weight, liver function, and kidney health affect drug reactions Using multiple pharmacies vs. one centralized pharmacy The risks of stopping medications suddenly without guidance Herbal remedies and “natural” products that still interact with prescriptions Why side effects aren’t always harmless—and shouldn’t be ignored This conversation is especially important if you: 🔹 Take multiple medications 🔹 Are managing chronic illness 🔹 Recently had medication changes 🔹 Are navigating menopause, mental health, or post-surgical care 🔹 Care for children, elders, or loved ones with complex health needs Your body communicates—we just have to listen. This episode is about learning the signs, asking the right questions, and protecting yourself through knowledge. 🎧 Listen, learn, and share—because understanding your medications can save your life. 📌 This episode is for educational purposes only and does not replace professional medical advice.

Winter Blues

Winter Blues
Winter has a way of shifting our mood, our routines, and even our relationships. In today’s episode of Embracing The Fight, Erica opens up a heartfelt conversation about the Winter Blues—and how we can show up for ourselves and for others during the colder months. 💙 In This Episode, Erica Highlights: 1️⃣ Our Elderly Neighbors Winter can be especially hard for seniors, many of whom have outlived close family members. Erica shares why simple acts of kindness—checking in, visiting, offering a meal, or just having a conversation—can make all the difference. 2️⃣ Those Who Are Grieving Grief becomes heavier in winter. Many people withdraw, isolate, or struggle quietly. Erica encourages us to extend compassion without judgment—honoring their boundaries, offering support, and remembering that their feelings aren’t personal. Sometimes they want company… and sometimes they don’t. Both are okay. 3️⃣ The Normally Active & Restless When the cold and snow keep active people indoors, it can affect their physical and mental health. Erica discusses how reduced movement leads to tension, stress, and other health issues—and shares practical ways to stay engaged, healthy, and energized even when outside isn’t an option. ✨ Erica closes with uplifting, practical solutions to help us all shake off the winter blues, reconnect with ourselves, and show love to those around us. 🎥 Subscribe & Stay Connected to Embracing the Fight Grow with a community that’s healing, empowering, and elevating—one episode at a time.

Transparency

Transparency
In today’s episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica dives deep into one of the most powerful healing tools we often avoid—transparency. The old folks used to say, “What’s done in the dark will always come to the light.” And they were right. Holding in pain, trauma, secrets, or shame doesn’t protect us—it slowly destroys us from the inside. Transparency is the medicine that heals. Whether you reveal it to God, a trusted friend, a counselor, or even your journal, letting truth rise to the surface is how you stop imploding and start living. Today’s episode lovingly challenges you to remove the mask, acknowledge what hurts, and step into the freedom that comes when you choose honesty over hiding.

Generational Wealth You Cannot Spend
11/19/2025
Generational Wealth You Cannot Spend
When most people hear “generational wealth,” they immediately think money—but TRUE generational wealth goes far beyond dollars. In this episode of Embracing the Fight, we dive deep into the non-financial legacies that keep families strong, connected, informed, and protected. We’re talking about the powerful things we should pass from generation to generation that have nothing to do with bank accounts… and everything to do with identity, health, and wholeness. 🔹 Family Health History Understanding illnesses that run in the family isn’t just valuable—it can save lives. From chronic conditions to genetic risks, knowing your lineage helps you prepare, prevent, and protect future generations. 🔹 Who’s Who in the Family Too many families have branches nobody fully understands. We discuss why knowing your roots matters—so no one ends up accidentally marrying a cousin, and so children grow up knowing exactly where they come from. 🔹 Cultural Values & Traditions These are the things that shape us: how we speak, how we love, how we celebrate, and how we heal. 🔹 Emotional Intelligence & Coping Skills Teaching our children how to communicate, set boundaries, self-regulate, and process emotions is a form of wealth that transforms generations. 🔹 Stories, Lessons & Wisdom Your journey, your mistakes, your victories—they are priceless. When we fail to share them, the next generation starts from scratch. When we pass them on, they start with a blueprint. 🔹 Faith, Purpose & Resilience You can’t leave money if you don’t leave mindset. Strength, perseverance, and purpose-driven living are tools that help families thrive long after we’re gone. In this episode, we’ll explore why these forms of generational wealth matter, how to preserve them, and how to start documenting your family’s legacy today. If your goal is to strengthen your family tree, secure your lineage, and build a legacy that lives beyond you—this episode is for you. ✨ LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to support Embracing the Fight as we empower families one episode at a time.

The Many Faces of Addiction

The Many Faces of Addiction
In this powerful episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica opens up about her own struggle—sugar addiction—and uses it as a mirror to explore the deeper truth behind all forms of addiction. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, cheating, gambling, lying, or overeating, addiction often hides pain, patterns, and unmet needs that we’re afraid to face. Erica breaks down why so many people fall into the cycle of addiction and shares how the path to healing remains the same for everyone: 1️⃣ Seek help – You don’t have to fight alone. 2️⃣ Have faith and do the work – Healing takes belief and consistent effort. 3️⃣ Change your environment—or be the change within it. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that acknowledging your addiction is not weakness—it’s the first step toward freedom. 💪 👇 Stay connected & never miss an episode! 👇 🎥 Subscribe to Embracing the Fight & Follow Us Everywhere: YouTube: Instagram: BlueSky: X (Twitter): TikTok: Facebook: 🎙️ Want to be a guest on Embracing the Fight? 📧 Email: 📅 Book your interview: ✨ Curious about Lifevantage?

YouTube Description: 💛 Embracing the Fight: “Letting Go” 💛 In this heartfelt episode, Erica opens up about one of life’s hardest battles — letting go. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, a dream, or the things we hold onto because they remind us of what once was, letting go can feel like losing a piece of ourselves. Erica shares her deeply personal journey of selling her home and donating many of the items that carried emotional weight — not because she stopped caring, but because she’s choosing to make room for the new purpose God has for her life. If you’ve ever stood in a room full of memories, unsure how to release the past, this episode is for you. You are not alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means trusting that God’s plan for your future is greater than what you had to leave behind. ✨ Tune in, take a deep breath, and let this conversation remind you that letting go is not the end — it’s the beginning of becoming who you’re meant to be. 🙏 Subscribe, like, and share to help someone else find the courage to release and move forward. #EmbracingTheFight #LettingGo #FaithJourney #EmotionalHealing #Purpose #Testimony #NewBeginnings #ChristianPodcast #Motivation #Inspiration #HealingThroughFaith 🎥 Subscribe to Embracing the Fight & Follow Us Everywhere: YouTube: / @embracingthefight Instagram: / embracingthefight BlueSky: X (Twitter): / embracingfight TikTok: / embracingthefight Facebook: / embracingthefight 🎙️ Want to be a guest on Embracing the Fight? 📧 Email: 📅 Book your interview: ✨ Curious about LOVEBIOME?

The Calm Before or After the Storm
In this powerful episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica sits down with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, a licensed psychotherapist, LMFT, and host of the acclaimed podcast “Angry at the Right Things.” Together they explore how, through pain, we often discover our life’s purpose. Bronwyn shares her deeply personal journey—transitioning into therapy not just as a profession, but as a calling born from her own healing. She reminds us that mental health struggles are often silenced or misunderstood—and that anger, when expressed and directed toward injustice, can be a transformative force rather than a weakness. The conversation dives into scenarios where anger is felt but not processed, and Bronwyn offers practical guidance on how listeners can harness anger as a mirror, and a catalyst for self-awareness and boundary-setting.

In this episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica dives deep into the healing power of rest—something we often take for granted in our fast-paced lives. She explains why rest is more than just sleep—it’s a vital reset for your body, mind, and spirit. When you slow down, your body finally has the chance to repair, restore, and renew.

In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica Lamar dives deep into the conversations we are and aren’t having—with our children, ourselves, our families, our friends, and with God.

God — A genuine, reverent dialogue rooted in faith. These conversations shape our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. Erica shares how what you say—and how you say it—can help heal after tragedy, impart wisdom, and even deflect thoughts of suicide. She reminds us: a conversation is not a lecture. It’s a two-way exchange of listening, sharing, and connecting.

Healing is NOT weakness
Welcome back to *Embracing the Fight*! In this powerful episode, **"Healing is not Weakness,"** we dive deep into why taking time to heal—mentally, physically, and emotionally—is *never* a sign of weakness. So often, we rush ourselves to "get back to normal" because of how others may perceive us during our healing journey. But here's the truth: **Healing is personal, necessary, and powerful.** When you're sick or going through tough times, you *will* operate differently than you do when you're healthy—and that’s okay! Pushing yourself too soon can cause more harm than good. This episode encourages you to release the pressure of outside opinions and focus on *how* you heal, not on how it looks to others. Remember, **your healing is your business.** 💪 *Healing is strength. Healing is wisdom.
