Hi!   My name is Erica Sandquist. I am known for my smile [AND smiling A LOT], randomly getting up to dance when the mood strikes, giving myself HIGH FIVES in the mirror, AND laughing out loud at the jokes I'm thinking...with a bit of a dirty mind. Luckily, I gave myself permission to be a little silly [with fun motorcycle/repair shop metaphors] in designing my websites and programs! 

I am absolutely passionate about LOVE, EDUCATION, SELF-DEVELOPMENT, ... and FUN!   which are four of my favorite things in the world besides my beautiful daughter & three grandsons!  Although I'm not the first person to come up with the term CREATIONSHIP, I believe in what I call CO-CREATIONSHIP* with my whole heart. ♡  [See the definition of the term I coined "co-creationship" HERE.]

Despite being from an extremely abusive home, Dyslexic, Aspie [on the Autism spectrum], AND a young single mother in the 1990s, I finished two college degrees in 6 years including a Master's that I earned while teaching full-time in the inner city my 2nd and 3rd year of teaching. I'm very proud that I attained a 3.75 GPA in my undergrad degree and a 4.0 GPA in my Master's "Teaching & Learning" degree from good colleges in Minnesota.  I was the first person my family to earn a Master's Degree.

I spent two decades as a teacher in Minnesota & Washington state.  In 2012, I left teaching to become a life and business coach which also gave me a plethora of absolutely amazing experiences…including being on the PBS production with a celebrity!  [more about that below]

Much to the chagrin of a former love, I am very open, honest, and  direct.  I'm very driven when needed ... like consistently working for 10-15 hours/day. [I want to be either working or renewing.]  Most people don't budget for SELF-GROWTH....but I do!!  I love this stuff. I have literally spent tens of thousands of dollars on formal AND informal education, books, audiobooks, workshops, classes, webinars, programs, coaching, and even therapists for a time before/during/after 3 painful breakups.   

Since my mission is to HELP people get into and/or stay in HAPPY, HEALTHY relationships, I love to share the highlights of the programs/books I've loved the most.  As with my teaching history, I create and host events that are interactive, FUN and educational.

At times, I'd feel that maybe the love that eluded me was too hard to live without --- but also too hard to FIND and KEEP.   For me, depression has never about crawling into bed crying or sleeping.  My life has about searching for answers to questions about what real HEALTHY love looks like, sounds like, and feels like...rebuilding my life around THAT...and then sharing my knowledge with others. 

Still persevering with rose colored glasses and having worked through my old harmful thoughts, I credit my heart, analytical mind, and BELIEF that, "Love IS good... and HEALTHY LOVE IS FAR BETTER!"   And now almost completely on the other side of pain, I have found the peace that I somehow KNEW was there all along.   By creating The LOVE Relationshop I'm helping others get the LOVE they've always dreamed of and deserve, too!   ❤

*This is a woman-owned Tampa business that is 100% funded by me--and those joining my memberships. I'm dedicating my time, energy, and resources into this business because I passionately believe in people wanting and needing to  uplevel their relationship and communication skills to get into [and stay in] happy, healthy relationships.
