Meet Your Host,
Erica Pasvar
Erica Pasvar is a proud wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend living in the DFW metroplex. Her main passions are to find joy in life’s everyday gifts and help other people find the same purpose in what brings them happiness. Her utmost importance is her faith as a Christian and speaking truth about who Christ is. She finds value in sharing about life’s challenges through honest vulnerability in hopes it can help someone else.
The Birth of More Than Your Age
The concept of being More Than Your Age came from observing women of all ages who complain about their age and/or use their season in life as an excuse or limitation to avoid pursuing the things they want to do. These “things” could be as big as starting a business, wanting to pursue a degree, or as small as going to a movie by themselves. Erica found too many women using their age or season in life in a negative light as a hindrance preventing them to chase after or do the things or passions they want to do. The excuse of “I’m not married, I am married, If only I had a husband, kids, no kids, a better job, lived elsewhere, started earlier, waited, etc. I’m too old, I missed my opportunity, I’m too young, I’m not (talented, smart, -insert any negative belief) enough to do what I want to do, blocks women from going after the things in life that could bring a certain fulfillment that they are missing out on.
Erica’s hope and goal by starting The More Than Your Age Podcast is to speak with women who avoid those negative beliefs and use their stories to help ignite a passion and encourage other women to follow and chase their dreams/desires.
If you feel blocked to pursue a dream or goal based on your age or life circumstance or just need encouragement from the everyday woman, THIS is the podcast for you!
