By layering information and building community, you transform a debilitating and isolating process into a manageable path to licensure. In this episode, Peter Fenger sits down with Dr. Erica Ligons. Erica is a licensed clinical psychologist, founder of Crush That Exam, and owner of Vilago Psychology. After overcoming her own ADHD, severe test anxiety, and a history of struggling with standardized exams, she passed the psychology licensing exam with a score far above the requirement and began helping others do the same. She launched her coaching work in 2019 to bring equity, structure, and confidence to overwhelmed test takers. Using her signature Snowball Study Method, Dr. Ligons helps students and professionals master content, calm anxiety, and truly crush their exams. I am excited to have Erica with me today to break down how test anxiety impacts performance, why traditional studying often fails anxious learners, and how coaching and mindset shifts help people study smarter and rebuild their confidence.
