Throat Punch Wink: The Podcast
Welcome to Throat Punch Wink — the podcast for people who’ve been sucker-punched by life, where the stories hit hard, healing happens out loud, a middle finger gets raised, and a half-decent sense of humor and HONESTY gets the microphone. I’m Erika — grief veteran, sobriety warrior, heartbreak survivor, and former long-distance girlfriend to a man who cheated on me with a witchy Tinkerbell enthusiast. Recently, I lost my sister. I lost my mom. I lost my job. I lost my child (briefly), I lost my husband...I lost my damn mind — more than once. But here’s the thing: I’m still here. And so are you. This show is for anyone who’s ever grieved, raged, healed, spiraled, made a comeback, or just needed someone to say, “Yeah, that was a total dumpster fire — but look at you, still glowing.” Every episode, we’ll unpack the raw, the ridiculous, and the real — with honesty, laughter, and just enough edge to keep it interesting. So take a deep breath. Or scream into a pillow. Then hit play. This is Throat Punch Wink. The ‘wink’ to recovery.
