Founder & CEO (Chief Elevation Officer)

Helping Female Founders Build Businesses That Work for Them (Not the Other Way Around) In a private space just for you, no competing voices or distractions, where you can be as candid, vulnerable, and realize transformation at its height.

You’ve poured your heart into building your business—working tirelessly, juggling endless tasks, and doing everything you can to make it successful. And it shows.  But even the most driven entrepreneurs hit moments where they feel stuck. Maybe you’ve hit a revenue ceiling. Maybe your days are consumed by fires and never-ending tasks. Or maybe you’re just tired.  

Through the A3: Abundantly Above All Coaching Program, I work with you to move beyond hustle mode and start making bold moves that lead to real results.  This isn’t group coaching where you’re one of many. This is private coaching tailored to YOUR business challenges, YOUR goals, and YOUR next breakthrough—a place where you can be as vulnerable as needed without wondering if you’re sharing too much. This means faster breakthroughs, deeper clarity, and strategies designed specifically for YOUR success.

Here’s What You Can Accomplish in A3  
1. Clarify Your Vision:  renewed focus and confidence in where your business is headed.  
2. Craft Winning Strategies: a clear plan to grow revenue without adding chaos to your life.  
3. Build Systems That Work: freedom from being the bottleneck so your business can thrive without exhausting you.  
4. Elevate Your Leadership: stepping out of the grind and into leadership with clarity and authority.

This isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter and building a business that works for YOU.

Why Work With Me? For over 15 years, I’ve helped organizations uplevel their operations and achieve extraordinary growth as an advisor, consultant, and coach. I know what it takes to turn overwhelm into opportunity—and I’m here to help you do the same.

Here’s what happens when we work together:  
Revenue grows (on average by 30-50% in months), Chaos turns into clarity with systems that free up hours of your time weekly. You finally get off the hamster wheel and start leading your business instead of letting it run you.

YOU get to see measurable revenue growth, more time for what matters most, and a business that supports your life, not consumes it.

Are you making good money but still wondering, “Why don’t I have more to show for it?”

Or maybe… 

You’re just plain tired of being in debt and living paycheck to paycheck, despite how hard you work?.

If that sounds like you, I see you. And we just might be the perfect fit.

Hi, I’m Erika Dox-Martinez, founder of Blissful Vida, where we mix financial education, money mindset healing, and real-life strategy to help professional women finally feel in control of their money so they can live a more blissful life!

I’ve helped dozens of women start saving intentionally, pay off debt faster, and build financial systems that reflect their goals - not their guilt. 

💬 "I used to feel uncertain about my finances and unsure how to move forward. Managing my money felt overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to start. Now, I’m very close to paying off my debt, will finish the year with an emergency fund, and I’m saving for a vacation in December." - Deneysis Labrada

Before Blissful Vida…

I was a six-figure earner drowning in debt and wondering how I had a background in accounting but couldn’t afford my dream wedding. 

That experience opened my eyes to the truth: 

Personal finance isn’t just about the numbers.

It’s about the stories we’ve inherited, the beliefs we’ve internalized, and the systems we’ve never been taught.

Now I teach what I’ve lived, and I love watching women go from stressed and stuck to confident, clear, and building wealth on their own terms - all through the lens of trauma-informed financial coaching.

Who I love to support:

💸 Professionals one-on-one who want personalized, judgment-free support with budgeting, debt payoff, saving intentionally, and building wealth — all while healing their money mindset

🏢 Companies and organizations looking to support employee wellness with engaging, trauma-informed financial education that reduces stress, boosts productivity, and increases financial confidence

🤝 Membership groups, nonprofits, and community initiatives seeking powerful, relatable workshops that meet their members where they are — blending mindset, strategy, and cultural awareness

🎤 Event organizers and conference hosts looking for a speaker who brings warmth, realness, and results-driven financial empowerment to the stage

Whether you’re a working professional ready to get intentional with your finances or a mission-driven organization looking to support your community, I’d love to connect.

Let’s create financial freedom and bliss, together.
