Erica Gumieny
Erica Gumieny is the owner of Pivotal Point, LLC. As a speaker, author, coach, and podcast host, she blends humor, heart, honesty, and encouragement to help people move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Erica is the author of Journey from the Ashes©, a devotional that
invites readers to release what no longer serves them and move forward with
renewed hope, faith, and perspective. Through candid storytelling and
thoughtful reflection, she encourages others to embrace personal growth,
self-awareness, and meaningful change.
As a speaker, Erica brings authenticity, storytelling, humor, and emotional
honesty to every stage. She tailors each presentation to the audience she is
serving — whether at retreats, conferences, workshops, churches, podcasts, or
community events — creating experiences that feel engaging, relatable,
encouraging, and impactful. Her goal is always the same: helping people feel
seen, understood, inspired, and more hopeful about moving forward.
Through her coaching, Erica helps people identify what may be emotionally,
mentally, or spiritually “clogging” them up — the self-doubt, limiting beliefs,
overwhelm, fear, expectations, or patterns keeping them stuck — so they can
move toward greater freedom, confidence, clarity, and flow in their lives and
relationships.
Erica is also the creator and host of The Funny Kind™, a podcast where humor
meets heart in conversations about everyday life, faith, resilience, personal
growth, and the twists and turns we all face. Her approachable style keeps
things honest, relatable, meaningful, and often funny.
Erica’s professional background includes leadership and relationship-focused
roles across industries including healthcare, higher education, advertising,
training and development, and transportation, giving her a strong foundation in
communication, facilitation, client experience, and meaningful relationship
building.
Erica is deeply committed to serving her community and has held board
leadership and volunteer roles with organizations such as the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society, Professional Dimensions, The Parenting Network, the Alverno
College Alumnae Association, and Community Projects for Seniors.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in business management with honors from Alverno
College and a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and Administration
from Concordia University Wisconsin.
Erica and her husband, Jay, are proud parents of two grown children and love
spending time together laughing, making memories, and staying grounded in what
matters most.
