She's funny, intelligent, philosophical, thoughtful and articulate - which you'll hear throughout.</p><p><br></p><p>Erica talks to me about a turbulent childhood, heading off to boarding school and then moving to London at a young age. You'll hear how much of that move south was fuelled by pursuit of her dreams, and how much of it was fuelled by a need to create distance between herself and the aforementioned turbulence.</p><p><br></p><p>We soon get to Married at First Sight, the rollercoaster that followed, and the hopes and aspirations for the future.</p><p><br></p><p>People rarely have the background and life-story that we assume, and this is a prime example of how those suppositions are rarely accurate. So come and join us for a conversation full of laughs, surprises and stories of tormenting teachers just for the fun of it.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Sean McDonald"}
