Hi, I’m Erika Bogan — trauma-informed life coach, speaker, Hope Dealer and creator of the HOPE Shift Method.
My story began long before this community existed. I became paralyzed after a car accident caused by domestic violence, and for years, I lived in survival mode. I wrestled with shame, fear, and the belief that my life had been taken from me. But somewhere along that journey, I discovered something deeper — that even when everything breaks, healing is still possible.
The HOPE Shift Method grew from my own process of rebuilding my mind, body, and spirit after trauma. It’s a framework to help you shift the way you think and respond to life so you can move from surviving to truly living.
HOPE stands for:
- H — Honor what you feel without judgment.
- O — Observe your thoughts and emotions with compassion.
- P — Practice reframing your inner dialogue and choosing new responses.
- E — Engage with life again through mindful, intentional action.
This community is a safe space to explore those steps together — to learn, reflect, and grow at your own pace. You’ll find lessons, journaling prompts, and real conversations with others walking a similar path.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to belong here. You just need to show up — as you are, where you are.
Welcome to The HOPE Shift Hub. I’m so grateful you’re here.
— Erika
