He fumbled me, chaos claimed me... but I still landed in New York

Wait What's Next?

In life, we tend to overplan, but as the saying goes, “life is what happens while we plan for the next move.”

While we obsess over timelines, checklists, and end goals, the universe quietly builds its own version in the back end… and somehow, it always makes more sense.

In this episode, we sit down with Erika Ramirez, who takes us through her most defining “what’s next” moment yet, one that started as a long-awaited move to New York, a love story that felt like the one, and a dream years in the making. But somewhere between rainy-day coffee orders and real-life plot turns, everything changed.

What follows is a heartfelt, empowering story about trusting the redirection, even when it’s not what you pictured. Erika reminds us that just because life doesn’t go as planned, it doesn’t mean it’s going wrong. Sometimes, it’s simply guiding you exactly where you were meant to be all along.

It’s vulnerable, it’s raw, and the kind of conversation that feels like a glass of wine with your most honest friend. This is the reminder that even when things fall apart, they might just be falling into place.
