Ep 47 The WHATface diet?!?! (ft Erika Rawes)
Episode 47
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
In this episode of The Paddy Wagon Podcast, Mike sits down with Erika Rawes—founder of the ASSFACE Diet and the oldest oldest contestant ever to win, Miss Wake County USA in 2024 at the age of 42—for a raw, relatable, and motivating conversation about what it really means to feel “stuck.” Erika opens up about redefining limits, breaking stereotypes, and proving that it's never too late to rewrite your story. Together, Mike and Erika explore the idea that no one is ever truly stuck—whether it’s in a job, a body, a mindset, or a life chapter that no longer fits. They dive into how embracing your genuine emotions—anger, frustration, negativity, or optimism—can become fuel for transformation. Erika shares her unapologetically authentic approach to personal growth, challenging societal expectations and encouraging listeners to trust their instincts, honor their individuality, and take bold action. If you’ve ever felt trapped, uninspired, or held back by circumstances, this episode delivers empowering insights, real-world motivation, and actionable strategies to help you break free and take control of your life—one honest step at a time. Perfect for anyone searching for inspiration, mindset shifts, or self-improvement tools, this is a must-listen conversation about resilience, reinvention, and doing life your way.
