In this episode of the Goddesses of Social Work Podcast, host Renita Ray Davis sits down with Erika Perry (Coach Perry) for a powerful conversation about what it really means to move from good intentions to real impact.

Erika is the owner of EP Enterprises, the founder of Youth Talk United, and the voice behind the YouTube channel Behind the Doer. Her work centers on helping youth-serving organizations, coaches, and community leaders build trauma-aware, emotionally intelligent environments that don’t just say they are youth-centered, but actually live it out in practice.

This conversation is honest, reflective, and grounded in lived experience—a reminder that meaningful change always begins with the person behind the work.
