Hey HOPE Shifters, I’m excited to share something special that’s now available inside our classroom — a brand-new free mini-course called Accessibility, Privilege & the MindShift. This short course is built around my YouTube channel Accessible Africa video series and dives into what moving to Tanzania has taught me about accessibility, privilege, and the power of shifting your mindset when life doesn’t look the way you expected. Inside, you’ll explore: - How perspective can transform your daily life - What “mindshifting” really means — and how to do it - Real-life reflections to help you start creating your own shift It’s a perfect taste of what you’ll experience in the full Mindshift After Trauma course, which is currently free to all members until January 1, 2026. After that, it will become a $25 one-time purchase for continued access. Start your mini-course today and take the first step toward living The HOPE Shift. 👉 Head to Classroom → Mini-Course: MindShifting to begin. Keep rising, keep shifting, — Erika

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
