Audacity Rising

Erika Huckstep is brave, strong and forgiving. She is a mom, wife and daughter. Erika’s father was an alcoholic, but in reality, he was so much more to her than this disease. He was a family man, protective, funny and had a huge heart. Sharing this painful story would be incomplete if Erika did not share those pieces of father as well. The choice to share this story was born out of knowing the pain, isolation, and loneliness this type of experience can create. She uses these lessons to open a conversation and community for women (and men) anywhere to feel less alone and begin moving through this type of journey.
