Hi, I’m Erica.

Erica Livingston

I’m a writer, speaker, doula, and mother…which means I spend a lot of time thinking about bodies, stories, systems, snacks and what people actually need when life cracks open.

My Work

My work lives at the intersection of story, justice, care, and the body. I write and speak about birth and postpartum life, adoption and relinquishment, grief, identity, parenting, and what it means to tend one another inside systems that were never designed with our full humanity in mind.

If you’re here because you’re looking for a speaker, a collaborator, or a writer who understands nuance, tenderness, and responsibility all at once—welcome. There’s room here. Pull up a chair.

In this episode, I speak about losing my adopted mother, the grief that still lives in my body, and the unexpected longing for my biological mother that surfaced when I was in labor.
