Wanting to change your life, is a HUGE thing. It can feel so overwhelming even saying "changing my life" - like, that is some big work sister.However I want to break down in this episode HOW I actually started to do this.Nothing happens overnight and there are no secret "hacks" to lasting and important changes, yet there are steps you can take early on to start your inner journey.I recently ran my Creating Confidence Masterclass (live in Melbourne and virtually via live stream) and I shared in depth with the ladies who attended, the STEPS to creating more confidence and changing your life for the better.I was super powerful so much so that I wanted to share one of the lessons with you here on the podcast.YOU. CAN. CREATE. LASTING. CHANGE. IN. YOUR. LIFE. You can build self confidence, worthiness, self love, you can create powerful boundaries, you can learn to speak up, show up and share your voice. You can say no, you can become a courageously brave QUEEN.You just have to CHOOSE it. And in this episode I breakdown the first steps I took to start.RESOURCES MENTIONED:👑 The Creating Confidence Masterclass - If you missed this event you can now catch it on demand for just $50 - click here to watch: https://erika-cramer.mykajabi.com/creating-confidence-masterclass-ondemand👑 Join us in The Sistahood - If you are ready to work on yourself and have me in your corner as your coach, enrolments for the SISTAHOOD are now open!

One of the number one questions I get from clients in the Sistahood or my community online it's : "How have you healed the relationship with your mom?"It's no surprise as mom and I have been through a lot. I shared multiple episodes about my experience growing up with a bi-polar mother and also had her on the show in 2022 to share her story of struggle and overcoming...Many of the women I speak to have a deep mother would and in this episode I speak about some of the steps I took (and I've shared with my clients) in order to start healing that relationship.Ultimately in order to heal we must commit to doing the inner work. Many of our parents and carers did the best they could with what they knew and what they had, yet many of us suffered because of this. There would be no way that I would be here today with healthy boundaries and an incredible ability to communicate my needs to my mom, if it wasn't for the work.If this episode speaks to you please share it with someone who needs it.👉🏽 If you'd like to learn how I teach my clients in the Sistahood boundaries and confident communication in relationship, get onto the waitlist for the Sistahood.Doors will be opening soon 👑Book mentioned on this episode: Byron Katie Loving What is.👑 Want to request a podcast?

Are you struggling to connect with your children and help them become more confident? If so, then this episode is for you.As parents, navigating this world of raising kids in the era of TikTok, Instagram and snapchat - can feel overwhelming af. And I get so many messages from parents who want to learn how to help their kids become more self-confident and lead themselves (instead of letting themselves be led by peers or social media influencers).My advice to parents is always the same: If you want your child to be more confident, you must MODEL what confidence looks like.So in today's episode I wanted to break down HOW we as parents can help our children become more confident, be self-led and empowered. In the episode I cover the importance of listening to our children so we can gain a deeper understanding of their world, their struggles, and how we can support them. I discuss the urgency of creating and nurturing a strong bond between parent and child, which is crucial for their emotional and mental well-being. Lastly, we dive deep into listening and providing guidance, so we can equip our children with the tools they need to develop into confident, self-assured individuals.And as always I talk about practical ways to connect with our kids, how past traumas can impact our parenting, and the importance of being a role model for our kids.If you're wanting to become more present and attuned to your children's needs, this episode is for you.As always if it served you, please SHARE it with someone who needs to hear this message ❤️*Want to learn how to step into YOUR self confidence, end comparison and people pleasing and stop caring so much about what others think?Want to learn from me and all the tools, exercises and books that changed my life?

One of the toughest things in the world – especially for women who have had to learn to be strong – is being vulnerable. When you’ve spent your life building up walls just to protect yourself, we fight with every nerve not to take those defenses down! But being vulnerable can also be a gift. It’s real. It’s in the moment. It’s unapologetically you. It creates connection – not only within ourselves, but with those who love us and who want to love every inch of our bare souls. So today I’m getting vulnerable about vulnerability. What holds us back from being fully open? What do we risk when we withhold our true selves? And what rewards are waiting for us when we do learn how to embrace our vulnerability? FREE RESOURCES:Join Erikas list - get exclusive masterclasses and personal notes from her via email weeklyAre you ready to CHANGE your life?  Watch the FREE training here!The 7 Steps to coaching yourself - Self Coaching Cheat sheet -download for FREE here  WORK WITH ERIKA:The WAITLIST for Sistahood is open now - 12 months of live coaching with Erika to create the life you desireMentioned:“The Best and Worst Week of My Life”“Confidence Feels Like Shit!”

THIS episode right here is the reason you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. So much of what I do at The Queen of Confidence centers around sharing the stories of confidence, the epic wins and helping other women feel empowered to do the same. Who doesn’t want to shout it from the rooftops when things are going right for us?! But I also believe it’s important to talk about it when things aren’t going well. So in this episode, I’m sharing a big win – being nominated for seven prestigious business awards – that happened while dealing with a tremendous low: my mother being hospitalized for a serious mental health episode. Today I’m talking about why it’s never worthwhile to compare yourself to another person’s success, because that duality is present for everybody, regardless of the perfect snapshots that end up on social media. I’m also sharing the tools and lessons I learned as someone who’s used to dealing with these crazy highs and crazy lows – in the hopes that they’ll inspire you no matter which place you're in: on top of the world, or struggling to pull yourself back up. WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

When it comes to relationships, we all think we know what we want. Somebody kind, thoughtful, funny, good-looking, or (insert your adjective of choice here!). But it’s rarely that simple. We spend a lot of time thinking about our ideal partner – but usually not enough time thinking about ourselves. So when I talk to women who are struggling with dating, I always start in the same place: What about YOU? What makes you feel loved? What do you want from a partner? Do you know what you need? Do you feel worthy of real, genuine love?And if you don’t, how can you help yourself get there? Today’s episode is all about cultivating the self-worth, self-love, and self-sufficiency we need as women to attract what we deserve – in relationships and in life. WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

Sometimes, in order to reconnect, we have to disconnect. For someone like me, who loves being on and available and ready to go 24/7, I struggled with the idea of taking some time to recharge all the way up to getting on the plane. Five days at a spa?! Without my husband or kids?! (Or phone?!) It seemed crazy. But it was necessary. I read books. I journaled. I ate good food, slept well, and even tried equine therapy. I also let go – of thinking it’s all on me, my childhood pain, overworking. And in the process, I learned something invaluable about not just myself, but about how I’m living my life, how I interact with my husband and kids, and how I’m setting myself up for my future: Giving yourself your own attention is the best gift you can give yourself. Today I’m talking about the restorative power of taking time for yourself – even (especially!) when it’s the last thing on your list. You deserve the same care you give to others – it’s time to start prioritizing YOU. WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

As a little girl growing up in a rough neighborhood, who was in and out of foster care, who depended on food stamps, I never expected that one day I’d be able to buy a house. I was letting my past hold me back. “I’m too poor,” even though I wasn’t anymore. “I’m too Puerto Rican. I’m too whatever.” These beliefs were still keeping me down, years and years and years later. But I wanted to give that little foster kid inside me a home of her own. I wanted my kids to grow up in their own home. So I made myself realize something: I’m powerful as f*ck. I'm a creator. And if I don't like my results, I can change what I'm creating. Today I’m sharing how that mindset helped me change my life and buy my first home – and how you can do it too. My sisters, whatever goal you have – to buy a home, to go on a three-month European vacation, to switch careers, to be happier – it is attainable. It starts with you. The Start Up Squad is Open!Join us in the squad to grow and scale your coaching business.

Ever heard the saying that change is the only constant in life?It’s true. Our lives are never the same day to day. Some days those changes are amazing – new job! New partner! New house! New baby! But other days, those same changes can feel scary: New responsibilities. New bills. New commitments. New vulnerabilities. So what can we do to stay strong and centered in the face of change? How can we remember, when we’re anxious to pursue our goals, that the growth waiting for us on the other side will make it all worthwhile? Today I want to share how I’ve dealt with some major transitions in my life and my business, and share some ways to help you handle any change that comes your way. 🎉WE HAVE FUNDING!We’re so happy to announce our partnerships in the USA and AUS for women who want to work with us and need payment options If that’s you get in touch and let’s explore interest free study now pay later options Email [email protected] to learn more. WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

The process of becoming is all about choices. When women say, “Damn, Erika, how did you get that career/house/husband?!” Here's what I say, “I had to choose this for myself”. And they were hard choices. I have had my share of trauma in my life. Abuse, loss, grief. It would have been so much easier to numb out every night on social media, or stay in a job I hated. To stay miserable in general. Here's the truth,  we all have trauma and we all have choices to make.   So today I want to share with you how I decided to start being present in my choices, how those choices got me to where I am today, and how you can do the same. P.S.

You know when you’re feeling on fire? Maybe your nails are fresh, or you’re wearing your favorite colour, or you just woke up really feeling yourself and just owning who you are? People seem to gravitate to you. They smile at you, compliment you,  it feels like all's right with the world as things fall into place with ease…. You just feel good!It’s not about how you look – it’s about the vibe you’re putting out. You’re in flow. Sista, that is true confidence. It comes from knowing who you are,  knowing you deserve to take up space in the world and feeling secure in yourself.And this feeling, this knowing can only come from one place – inside us – once you know how to access it, to own it,  it makes you magnetic.It makes people want to know you, be around you, learn about you. It helps you attract all the things you want to experience into your worldAre you ready to step into the magnetic flow of self acceptance?WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

We can all pretty much agree: cults are bad. But if there’s one aspect we can steal from them (and improve on – no Kool-Aid here!), it’s the idea of creating a community – a close-knit group of likeminded people who are united under a common cause or goal. So what does that look like in our own lives, or for our own small businesses? For me, there are three keys to creating my own following that I want to share with you: understanding why you want to help people, being real and consistent, and quality over quantity. That’s how I’ve found – and continue to find – women to co-create with me, women who identify with my story, women who connect with me. I’m building my community every day – are you ready to start building yours? WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

Do you ever feel like your past is creating your future? Maybe the early loss of a loved one keeps you from getting close to people today. Maybe sexual trauma in your childhood prevents you from being intimate with your significant other. Maybe domestic abuse in a previous relationship makes you hesitant to fall in love again. Often, that’s your inner child – full of unresolved trauma, grief, and pain – calling out for Adult You to help, to listen, to accept. When we do this – and it can be difficult, but so worth it – we’re healing that inner child, and by extension healing our present selves. Despite the pain, it is an opportunity to truly connect with ourselves, to forgive ourselves, to find ourselves and to love ourselves – the way we may not have when we were young. When we can be compassionate to ourselves, when we begin to heal our inner child, the sky’s not even the limit. My sisters, we all need to heal from something. This episode can help no matter where you are on your journey. Sit back, invite your childhood self along, and let’s go.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

Ladies, we all want to leave a legacy. But for most of us, that’s a huge challenge – the world already feels full, and the Internet is already packed with noise. It can feel like we’re all competing over the same tiny piece of pie, especially as coaches.That’s why I made this episode – because this is what niching is all about. It’s claiming your space and owning your throne – in other words, laser-focusing on one specific area and making it yours. In fact, niching helps you establish an answer to one of the most critical questions of your entire career: What problem do you solve, and what kind of clients do you help? For example, I started my business to help women with self-confidence – because I remember being a mother who needed help mending her confidence and healing her trauma.What about you? If you’re not sure yet, I got you, girl – hit play, and let’s work it out together!The Start Up Squad is Open!Join us in the squad to grow and scale your coaching business.

We all do it: “He cheated on me!” “She stole my man!” “My mom lied to me!” “He manipulated me!”When we’re hurt, especially by people we love and trust, it’s easy to dwell on our pain and fall into a victim mindset. But when we do that, we get stuck – and we only hurt ourselves more.So how do we reframe this mentality into something that can rebuild and reaffirm us? In this episode, I share a life-changing reframe that’s given me a new sense of confidence, power, and freedom: “This person gave me the best lesson in the world.” Queen, it’s time to pick up your crown.

Relationships are such a massive topic, one I have done quite a few episodes on.This episode in particular was a listener request. I recently asked my Instagram audience to tell me what they wanted to hear on the podcast and I got this question a few times.Shout out to Mel who asked me "How did you learn to trust your husband (Hamish) after being in multiple relationships with people who treated you badly"I had many "failed" relationships before my marriage to Hamish and each of them taught me so much about MYSELF and how I was treating me.Today I share how you can start to build trust and create an incredible romantic relationship that lights you up and fulfils you.It is possible to find DEEP, lasting love. I have it and I never thought I would.I hope this episode inspires you to pull your journal out and get to "Sherlock Holmesing"Want to take this work deeper?Join The Sistahood waitlist and be the first to know when we open the doors.Episodes mentioned: Single Ladies series - Date YourselfSingle Ladies Series - Watch them RED flags  This is one for the Lovers ft.

Today's episode is on a topic a lot of my listeners have requested I talk about… FRIENDSHIPS!So many of us struggle with balancing friendships, especially as we grow and evolve.We think we are not supposed to shift friends or let go of friendships that no longer serve. This simply isn't true, as we change and shift so will friendships and sometimes we have to let some friends go.I've found that a lot of us really struggle with communicating clearly what is happening for us as we grow and other people around us are not.  And then things can get a bit tricky..Feelings can get hurt, resentments can build, and assumptions can be made.  When we find ourselves in the position of having outgrown a friendship it is our responsibility to communicate clearly and to take a step back and assess how and why we attracted these friends into our lives.  How do we do this?  Tune in as I share some insights and action steps you can take to help you navigate when your friendships get tricky!WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

Can YOU get Swindled?After watching the popular documentary on Netflix “The Tinder Swindler”, I knew I needed to talk about this on the podcast.If you haven’t seen it yet, It’s about a man who ends up swindling many women out of thousands of dollars he meets on this popular dating app. Undoubtedly, this man is a cheater and an experienced swindler and these women ended up giving a lot of money to this man without paying attention to the red flags or listening to their intuition. But the question is how the fuck did this happened to them? What could these women have done to avoid being swindled?Many say they were “dumb” and “didn’t they see what was happening?” Others see them as victims who are innocent in every way.After this episode check in with how you see what happened… Is this something that could’ve happened to you?I have most definitely been swindled in the past and I hope that if you have as well, this episode resonates.Have single friends, please share this episode with them.Here are the previous episodes mentioned in this podcast.

Most people will usually have something that they want to achieve or something that they wish to happen in the near future. But to make it a reality,  you need to exert your effort and spend enough time doing your work. Of course, you can’t just wait all day and see all of your dreams come true right in front of your eyes. It means that there’s so much work to do before you can see the results you want in your life. But let me ask you these questions:Are you really doing the work consistently? Do you have that kind of commitment to keep showing up? It’s because let me tell you this when the work seems not working, it doesn’t mean it will never work. The work works, but are you working it? That’s why some people don’t get the results that they want. It's not because it doesn't work, but it has to do with the willingness they want to commit to doing their part. Do you want to hear more about why the work isn’t working?

The past couple of years has been one hell of a ride for most of us - without a shadow of a doubt the pandemic has shaken up and changed lives all around the globe.And since none of us saw this coming,  we all had very different experiences and were impacted in many different ways. You've probably heard me say to look for the gold nuggets hidden in the pile of s@it !   And the gold nuggets hidden in this whole experience are that how we live our lives and how we spend our time is more precious and important than anything else. Many people are now asking themselves the important questions: How do I want my life to look, feel, who do I want around me, who do I want to be?With the fresh new year of 2022, everyone was given the opportunity to realign with their goals and intentions, chase their dreams, and make new plans. And while most people will get excited about making plans, it’s simply not enough.  In order to make those plans happen you have to put those plans into ACTION….if you don’t do anything new and make the necessary changes in your life, nothing’s gonna happen!!And you can expect that 2022 will only end with the same sh*t. So if you are wanting to make this new year the best year of your life.  If you are wanting a new mindset, to get your goals and dreams into alignment, and to make SH@T HAPPEN, then my love you are in luck because I made this podcast for YOU!!

With all of the Five C’s that we’ve discussed in the previous chapters of this audiobook sneak peek,  I can bet that you’re ready to reframe your mind around how you want to think, who you want to become, and what you want to create for yourself. Now, it's really over to you. It means that what comes next is completely up to you. It may sound scary but I know you got this. Keep in mind that everything we’ve discussed in the previous chapters represents some of the crucial work you do on yourself. All of these pieces of information about the Five C’s are so cool and totally motivating. But these will remain a bunch of words in a pink book and will make no difference at all if you’re not going to apply any of them. So in reality, it's not about the information you’ve received, but it's about the application of it to your life. The Audiobook Sneak peek series is officially over! I hope you’ve loved tuning in and if you want to learn more about CREATING your self-confidence, go grab the book!You can also enjoy the book bundle by visitingthe-queen-of-confidence.myshopify.com/collectionsGive the gift of Confidence!

The fifth step of the Five C’s is the snowball stage of the practice. It’s CONTINUE.The idea with this practice is that you don't stop moving through it. It means that CONTINUE is about having a commitment to move, grow, and evolve in a consistent way. So the key here is for you not to stop. It’s because the more you stop moving, the more time will be wasted, and the more that nothing happens for you. As a result, you will never get any closer to your dreams and goals in life. Again, creating confidence is not a destination that you reach, but it is a practice that you need to incorporate into your everyday life. With that, here’s the sneak peek of this particular chapter of the audiobook.Give the gift of Confidence!

It always doesn’t feel good at all when you see yourself as a failure. You may get discouraged and it eventually doesn’t make you want to go and move forward. However, you need to try again. Whenever you fall, you got to get your ass back up and do it again. It’s because if you do, it will significantly help you build your resilience. It transforms you into a person who doesn’t care about falling anymore. Then, you’ll get a whole new perspective in life, where you’re turning all of your experiences into new learning. With that, this particular chapter of this audiobook will discuss one of the five C’s - consider. It is to consider the results of the actions you took and how you deal with all of the experiences you had in the past. To know more about it, go ahead and listen to this audiobook and find out those opportunities you have to consider in creating your confidence.Give the gift of Confidence!

To create is imperative when it comes to practicing confidence, besides the other five C’s discussed in the previous chapters of this audiobook. It is the step that will truly move you towards achieving your goals and you become resourceful and innovative. So when you create, you look for effective ways to make things happen. It means that you get to create the opportunity, solution, and a way to accomplish things you really desire. That’s why you need to open your mind to look for all the best ways to create an opportunity, results, instead of focusing on your reasons why you always find it so hard to make it happen for yourself. If you have big goals and amazing dreams in life, always take action that is completely in alignment with what you really want to achieve so that you won’t get frustrated and burnout knowing that nothing seems to work out. But if you’re one of those women out there who have the same struggles with this particular part of five C’s - to create, then go ahead and listen to the snippet of this audiobook and help yourself understand how important this is for you. Keep in mind that nothing happens when you do nothing and great things start to appear when you take small steps that will bring you to the amazing leaps towards your dreams. These small steps may have little significance compared to how big your dreams are, but they will surely pay off in the long run. Give the gift of Confidence!

Courage is crucial in creating your confidence. And it also goes hand in hand with choice.It means that the moment you make an important decision in life, it needs a lot of courage to do so. But it doesn't come to you unless you actually do the thing you are most scared of. In fact, that’s what defines the word courage. It makes you feel nervous and freaked out, but you still take the move no matter what. So one of the major problems for most women wanting to create confidence is they usually find it hard to take the scary steps forward. And that is because they lack courage. And that’s what I want to explain in this particular chapter of this audiobook sneak peek. Remember sis, courage gives you the opportunity to start living the life you truly deserve.Give the gift of Confidence!

Before you live a life with confidence, you need to acknowledge the fact that you have choices. You have the choice to do what you want or not do what you don’t want. But the big question is: What kind of choices are you making? Do they help empower you to step out of your comfort zone and build the life you truly desire or do they keep you in fear, avoiding the opportunities you've dreamed of? This is actually the first part of creating confidence. It's step one of practicing confidence. It’s because truly effective decision-making can only come from a place of empowering choices.You may have the thought about making the decision in your head to start creating confidence within yourself today. But you have to understand that the decision made in your mind is not a decision made. Choice and decision work together when it comes to you practicing confidence.That’s why when you choose to make a decision now, you have to do something about it. You have to take action and make it happen right away. Don’t wait for years before you take action. It’s your life and your future we’re talking about here Queen.Give the gift of Confidence!

I can imagine that you know that the road to being confident is not easy. It’s not about being beautiful with shiny red lips and stilettos while walking across the room and all eyes are on you. It’s not about getting all of the attention from the people around you. It’s way more than that. In fact, being confident doesn’t necessarily require you to be good-looking, bold, loud, or outgoing. True confidence is when you’re aware of the discomfort and you are able to feel the fear, anxiety, unfamiliarity, or strangeness of the experience, but you still choose to step out anyway.You know that if you move forward, you may fail but you choose to give it a go. True confidence means if anything you do doesn't work, you always pick yourself back up and try again. But the thing is that being confident doesn’t happen in an instant. You can’t wake up one day and there you go! You’re now confident!It’s because being confident is not a destination that you can reach or a simple goal that you can achieve at the end of the year. Creating confidence requires ongoing work. It means that you need to have dedication and commitment, moment to moment. And this is something you will learn in this sneak peek of chapter five of the audiobook. So listen in and discover how you’re gonna start practicing confidence and incorporate it into your daily life. Give the gift of Confidence!

I’ve met and worked with so many women over the years who have spent their entire lives being worried about what other people think of them.And for a very long time, I was one of them. There’s nothing wrong when you care what other people think of you because it’s what most human beings do and it's perfectly normal.But the big problem is when you allow their opinions to penetrate your mind and heart and eventually stop you from getting the life you truly deserve. I’ve been there and I know how it feels. It’s like no matter what I did, it wasn't good enough for them, resulting in me feeling like I’m not a good enough person. Until one day, I had no more energy left to pretend and I finally realized I wasn't being true to myself. I then decided not to chase my tail anymore trying to impress other people. And one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that saying YES to please others was a big NO to myself.So if I was able to rebuild the confidence in me, you can do it too sis. Allow me and this audiobook to be the instruments of that big change that you’ve been looking for your entire life.  Give the gift of Confidence!

“I can do this…..Everything is fine….I am totally ok…”Any of this familiar?To tell you the truth, this was definitely my reality for many, many years. I only found out that it had something to do with creating a confident mindset. It means that you can choose how you want to react to a particular situation. It’s because your thoughts will create your feelings and that will have a great impact on your behavior and action. That’s why you have to learn the concept of your thoughts creating your reality to completely understand the pattern of how to think and feel every day. Let me tell you this. You can't cultivate your confidence when you believe all of the negative thoughts in your mind like you’re unworthy, not good enough, not pretty, and a lot more. So in this particular chapter of my audiobook, I’m going to talk about the most important life-changing concept, which is how to manage your mind. It’s because it all starts there! Remember, when it comes to managing your mind and creating the life that you desire, you'll need to commit to becoming much more aware of your current thoughts and rewire your brain for confidence and success. Give the gift of Confidence!

Can you believe it? Few days until Christmas. It's a different holiday season this year, no matter where you are in the world, I think we've all been impacted by the pandemic and what's going on. Here in Australia, it's pretty hectic because things are opening up.Everybody's going to be hanging out, shopping and doing all the things but for us this year, I feel like the more this goes down, the more introverted I feel. I can’t believe I’m saying that. If you have been listening to me, you know I’m not an introvert. I love people, I’ve never referred to myself as one. I wanted to do this podcast because I don't know what your holiday season will look like, but here's what I do know, we allow our boundaries to be broken. This Christmas time is going to be a great time for you to test your boundaries with family, food and everything else. Sista, setting boundaries is not easy to do.

Sista, this episode is HOT. I’m pumped UP! If you’ve been blessed with a good life and you think you’re not messed up enough to work on yourself, this episode is for YOU. A lot of women say to me that they don’t have enough trauma to work on themselves. But you don’t need some crazy shit to have happened to you for it be trauma. We have ALL experienced trauma. Trauma isn’t the thing that happens to you, it’s what happens INSIDE of you. And it all goes back to childhood. If you felt sad, lonely, scared, rejected, unloved in ANY way, that’s trauma. And if you don’t deal with that shit, it will deal with you.Scan your life right now. Take a good look at your mind, your relationships, your body, your bank account. Where is your lack?Are you showing up as a fully expressed version of yourself?Or are you afraid to put yourself out there? Too scared of what people will think if you really showed them who you are. Is your mind at peace? Or is it juiced up on fear and negativity?If you’re unhappy in ANY area of your life, THAT is something to work on. What’s the point of buying fancy cars and eyelashes if you’re MISERABLE?Invest in your mindset.

Shout out to all you women out there pursuing your business.. even if your partner thinks it’s just a hobby!When I first started my business, my husband didn’t believe I could do what I’m doing now. It wasn’t because he didn’t believe in ME. It was because we had two kids and he knew how risky it would be to start a new business.If you’re in the same boat, my bet is you’re feeling frustrated, lonely, angry and like you need some validation. I talked about this on Instagram recently and had SO many replies from women all over the world telling me their partners didn’t support them. But you know what?Your partner doesn’t have to be your cheerleader. YOU have to be your own cheerleader. To create what you want to achieve, YOU have to live in the risky future and believe that you can do it. Don’t rely on other people in your life to do the believing for you. Fill your own cup. Beyonce it up, and back yourself with your own independence. You got this!LINKS:NEXT LEVEL NOVEMBER IS HERE - GET ALL THE JUICY DETAILS!!Watch my FREE webinar: Why You're Not Making Money In Your BizWHERE TO FIND ERIKA:My Audiobook has launched!  Grab MY BOOK in audio form here!!!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceReady to work with Erika?

Are you investing in yourself? I don’t mean buying handbags and getting your nails done. I mean, are you investing in your mindset, your behaviour, and your thinking?Are you investing in healing your trauma?Because NOT investing in yourself is actually costing you. It’s costing you time, money, and above all, happiness. If I didn’t spend money investing in myself to work through my shit, I would not be where I am today. It’s totally worth every cent and I spent A LOT of money! Over $150,000 over 8 years. You may balk at this price tag but without that investment and all of my hard work, I would still be angry, bitter, and cynical. Every dollar I invested, I have made back in double. But the most important thing is how unbelievably happy I am in my life. What’s the point of having an expensive car, a big house, and fancy clothes if you’re miserable?How much is your happiness worth to you? When you don’t invest in yourself, it will cost you somewhere else. If you don’t have what you want and you’re not happy with an area of your life (love, work, relationships), what’s holding you back from working on it?Don’t tell me you’re saving for it to happen later - NOW is the right time. The only person holding you back is YOU.  Help is out there and you need to prioritise yourself to achieve everything you want. You can’t change the world if you don’t start with yourself.LINKS:NEXT LEVEL NOVEMBER IS HERE - GET ALL THE JUICY DETAILS!!Are you READY to change your LIFE?

I live in Melbourne, the most locked-down city in the world. It’s been hard and strange and a wild ride that’s for sure.Whatever your thoughts are on lockdowns or vaccines or any of that, I wanted to have a conversation about what to do when you don’t agree with someone. People are losing their friendships, jobs, and family relationships over disagreements about this topic. We have to learn how to truly understand each other, even when we disagree. This is so important to me because we are living as people divided -  not because of covid, but because we don’t know how to disagree. Everyone has an opinion about the best course of action when it comes to the best course of action and everyone is right.Try to catch yourself making judgements about others. Reflect on WHY you react the way you do. Why are you getting triggered?When we come from a place of compassion and kindness in our conversations, we can begin to repair the disconnection and separation in our world. It’s possible to hold space for people who disagree with us and still be kind. NEXT LEVEL NOVEMBER IS HERE - GET ALL THE JUICY DETAILS!!WHERE TO FIND ERIKA:My Audiobook has launched!  Grab MY BOOK in audio form here!!!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceReady to work with Erika?

I’m currently throwing myself into Gabor Mate’s training to delve deeper into myself and find my Aha moments. Today was a big one. When I was five years old, I would visit my Mum in a psychiatric hospital. I was forever looking around and observing ways the staff could improve the way they treated patients and my Mum. Even as a little kid I had an attitude - even more than I have now.I was constantly fighting with the nurses and social workers on the medication my Mum should be taking and how they were looking after her. I couldn’t understand why they were doing that job if they didn’t care and didn’t really want to be there.So even from back then, I had the strongest feeling that I wanted to work in mental health to help people. Fast forward to 38 years old and I am a coach focused on guiding people to heal their past and create the life they desire. It’s incredible that I have ended up where I am today.If you’re feeling lost, take a good look at your life. There will be patterns that keep showing up and signs pointing you to where you should go.You just have to be open to it.NEXT LEVEL NOVEMBER IS HERE - GET ALL THE JUICY DETAILS!!WHERE TO FIND ERIKA:MyAudiobook has launched!  Grab MY BOOK in audio form here!!!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceReady to work with Erika?

Do you get triggered? Do you feel out of control or explosive in response to someone else’s actions? Today, I wanted to share with you what I’ve been learning with the incredible Gabor Mate.I’ve created an amazing space inside the Sistahood where women can be truly vulnerable and share their stories but my therapy friends kept warning me over and over that the women might get triggered by this experience. I don’t believe in triggers. I don’t think we CAN trigger people. That’s passing your power and responsibility onto someone else and it’s the nature of living in victimhood. I don’t ever want to live there!I’m saying this to you with firsthand experience of trauma. I used to be explosive and intensely angry. BUT I did the hard work and put in so much effort to heal. You need to work out WHY you’re an explosive weapon that can be triggered. It is your responsibility. Commit to this self exploration and you WILL find your power. You’ve got this!LINKS:Where To Find Erika:Are you READY to change your LIFE?

I have such a special treat for you today as I talk with my beautiful friend, Sheree Rubstein. Sheree is the founder of One Roof which, pre covid, was Australia’s #1 co-working space dedicated to women. Now it is a thriving online community for female leaders and entrepreneurs. With over 700 members, Sheree’s work with One Roof is all about uplifting women and supporting them to step outside their comfort zones, smash glass ceilings and break through barriers that hinder success. In this episode, Sheree shares her journey into the entrepreneurial space and why she is beyond passionate about seeing women rise above the confines that the system places on them.  We talk about the unspoken things that women don’t discuss and why we NEED to talk about them. What is it that you feel you can’t talk about?Sheree shares really openly about her journey with anxiety and how she has worked so hard to overcome her crippling fear of public speaking. Even today, she still feels nervous every time she gets on stage but she refuses to give in. What a boss! She is such an inspiration.I love Sheree and everything she stands for. She is all about supporting women, building genuine community, and understands that if we want to change the system, we must first change ourselves.We talk about embracing slowness and sitting in true self care to shift the deep narratives that hold us back from being who we really are. Sheree and I also share our own unspokens, and I am so grateful for this space where we get to do that. You’re going to love this conversation. LINKS:Are you a coach who wants to double your income and impact?

Last week my son Navah turned 4! I wanted to share this moment with you because I’ve been reflecting back on the years since his birth. A LOT has changed. People see the success of where I am now but I want to tell you what life was like for me back then.Three and a half years ago we were broke. When I say broke, I mean absolutely BROKE! My husband’s gym business struggled through Christmas every year and we were scrounging for coins in the car to buy bread. Fast forward to now, a whopping five thousand women have come through our programs from 45 countries. The podcast has almost 1.3 million downloads (and mind you, I started recording every episode from my car)So what happened in between? I realised my own truth and power. In my heart I knew I was not here to mess around, to be miserable in my workplace, to play small or to have a mediocre life. When I truly realised this, everything changed. I started my own coaching business and worked my ass off to build it up to where it is now. Sometimes you have to be pushed to the absolute edge before you wake up and do something. I’m not saying I don’t still have self doubt and fear. Of course I do! I just don’t let it run my life or hold me back. So on this celebration day, I’m honouring my own journey since my son’s birth and the amazing life and business we have built. And I wanted to remind YOU of your true power, just in case you momentarily forgot.LINKS:Where To Find Erika:Are you READY to change your LIFE?

I have such a treat for you today as I chat with the incredible Bronnie Ware.You’ve probably heard me rave about her book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, which has sold millions of copies around the world. Bronnie is an international best selling author, sought-after speaker, and an all round amazing, humble and inspiring human being. In this episode, Bronnie and I dive into her story, how she transitioned from corporate life to follow her heart’s desire for creativity and 14 years later landed a book publishing deal that changed the trajectory of her life. We talk about how Bronnie has learned to tune into her intuition and the difference between honouring joy and following a path you think you should. Bronnie shares some of the mistakes she’s made in business and the valuable lessons she learned through those experiences. We talk about money, how it’s an energy that we need to respect, how she changed her money story and so much more. You’re really going to gain so much wisdom from this incredible woman. Bronnie shares some tangible action points and beautiful questions you can ask yourself if you want to learn how to tap more into your intuition and connect deeper with your creativity. LINKS:Where To Find Bronnie:Website:https://bronnieware.com/Instagram:@bronnie.wareFacebook:@bronnie.wareBooks:https://bronnieware.com/books/Where To Find Erika:Watch my FREE training: What it Really Takes to change your life MyAudiobook has launched!  Grab MY BOOK in audio form here!!!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Ready to work with Erika?

I want to chat about a topic we don’t talk about much - Anger.Anger can mess you up and make you feel out of control. All my childhood trauma caused me to build a hard outer shell, refuse to let anyone in, and constantly have my guard up. Does that sound familiar?But the shit that protected you as a child, will fuck you over as an adult.I’ve learnt that true strength comes from exposing yourself and being vulnerable. I had to do the work to become softer so I could grow and let others in. Become the lioness in the room. Use your anger, don’t let it use you. Don’t give anyone the power to make you feel like shit. Take a deep breath and reflect on why you’re getting angry. Anger isn’t bad, it can be a very useful tool. I’ve always got my alter shego ‘Juanita’ in my pocket ready to go. From anger comes action but it has to be the right action. Don’t cut yourself off from everyone. Life is about living and we have no control. So live your life to the fullest. Let love in, love passionately and connect with others. Book recommendation: Power vs Force by David Hawkins M.D. PhD.Dr Gabor Mate: Addiction Expert, Speaker and Best-selling Author Dr. Gabor Maté (drgabormate.com)Where To Find Erika:Watch my FREE training: What it Really Takes to change your life MyAudiobook has launched!  Grab MY BOOK in audio form here!!!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Ready to work with Erika?

I am so excited to introduce you to my guest for today’s episode. Hannah Spilva is the co-founder of the gorgeous flower delivery company, LVLY and together with her co-founder Verity Tuck, they are changing the shape of the gifting industry in Australia.Y’all know that I don’t align myself with many brands. I get sent a lot of requests to review products, try services and talk about them on my Instagram, but I’m really intentional with who I align myself with.LVLY flowers are definitely a company that I am so proud to have as our first official sponsor of The Queen Of Confidence. I have loved working with them and today on the podcast I wanted to pick Hannah’s brains about how she created such a well known brand in what is a relatively short amount of time.Hannah and Verity have been so intentional with how they have built the LVLY brand since the beginning and when COVID threw a curveball, they were able to adapt quickly and have seen incredible growth over the last 18 months.We all know that growth is fantastic, but is also brings with it a huge set of challenges. Keeping up with demand, hiring the right people, courier issues due to restrictions...it’s a lot! Hannah and I talk through how LVLY flowers was born and why this business is so important to her. She talks about those normal feelings we all have around self-doubt and how she’s been able to build resilience to achieve amazing things.I’m so honoured to have Hannah on the show today and for all you business ladies out there, you are going to learn so much from this conversation!

THIS IS WHAT DOING THE WORK LOOKS LIKE.Ok, so I know I harp on about how incredibly important it is to do the INNER work...To make peace with your past and to create the life you desire by letting go of the beliefs that hold you back…And maybe you’ve thought “yeah, yeah Erika, but HOW?!” - It feels impossible at times”....Or maybe you’ve heard me speak about The SISTAHOOD and wondered what it’s like to work with me inside of this incredible community. Well this week on the podcast you’re in for a treat Sis!You’re going to hear first hand what “doing the work” actually looks like from the women who are showing up and doing itThese women have completely transformed their lives (and the lives of the people they love the most) In this episode you’ll hear about how you can go from feeling lost and lacking purpose to transforming your life and healing generational trauma.How working on yourself directly impacts your confidence and leadership skills and your ability to influence your teams, co-workers and clients (plus helping you thrive in your career and smash your financial goals).How you can actually end people pleasing for good and learn how to use your voice, speak your truth and stand in your values.How doing the work helps you evolve as a human being, thrive from within and be an example for your children.I hope you see yourself in these women's stories because they are women just like you and I.Doing the work within a community to support you, guide you, keep you accountable and uplift you when you feel down is THE most incredible part of the Sistahood.It’s been my honour to witness these women and ALL of the Sistas who have come through our amazing community.Did these stories resonate with you?

Do you know the power of YOUR story? Every day we are given a gift to learn from the things we experience in life.The mistakes and failures. The heartache and struggles.They are ALL opportunities to find your inner power.In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with the amazing Tory Archbold who is the CEO of Powerful Steps. We talk all about her journey of self-discovery, finding success and owning her truth to step into her power.I feel so honoured to reflect with my sista on the challenges we’ve both faced throughout our lives, and how we sifted through all the shit to find the golden nuggets that have given us the confidence to move forward. We talk about forgiveness, listening to our intuition, taking care of ourselves and how understanding your story helps you to own your truth and step into your power. I love Tory and her incredible boldness to defy what others think and build success from the ground up. A small step is a powerful step, just take action. LINKS:Where to find Tory: Website: https://powerful-steps.com/Instagram: @powerfulstepsLinkedIn: Tory ArchboldWhere To Find Erika:Watch my FREE webinar: Why You're Not Making Money In Your Biz (mykajabi.com)Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

Are you worn out? As women in business, we work non stop. We hustle to get all the things done.There’s a thrill that comes along with being in that energy, but it’s also not GOOD for us. We need to get off the treadmill and find the space to breathe, to go within and find another way of being so that we can really make the impact we want to make without burning out.That’s exactly what I’m talking about today with my incredible soul sista, Emma Isaacs.Emma is the Global CEO of Business Chicks, mother of six, best selling author and I’m honoured to share this conversation with you as we talk about her amazing new book, The New Hustle. This book has become a bible for me and my team as we go through Emma’s 77 anti-rules to move away from the old hustle and step into a way of working that is flexible, intentional and in flow. Emma has been one of the biggest expanders for me in my life. She is an incredible human and a woman I look up to so much. A leader, mentor and example to many, Emma is showing us all what’s possible and that the old hustle is gone for good. You’re going to love it. LINKS:Where to Find Emma:Emma’s Book:The New HustleInstagram:@emmaisaacsWebsitehttps://www.emmaisaacs.com/Where To Find Erika:Want to grow or scale your business?

This one’s for the lovers out there.You CAN have beautiful, flourishing, romantic relationships… if you do the work.But what do you do when you’ve been working on yourself and your partner’s journey is only just beginning?It can be really frustrating when you’ve unravelled your stories, healed your trauma and experienced real growth and expansion in your life and your partner isn’t quite there yet. We get impatient. “Why aren’t they making progress?”“Why are they STILL struggling with the same issue?”“They should read the book I read and get a life coach like I did”.Sound familiar?If that’s you, this episode is going to help you take the pressure down.My husband, Hamish, and I talk about being Gandhi, living out of compassion and patience as your partner goes on their own journey.Because it is THEIR journey. It won’t look like yours. Your job is to be who YOU have become.. The expanded, healed, kind, patient version that you have discovered as you’ve been doing the work. Hamish and I talk about the importance of being patient, communicating about the deep things and living out of compassion for yourself and the people around you.When you are doing the work in your own life, you don’t NEED your partner to do the work in order to be okay with YOU.Be Gandhi.LINKS:Resources mentioned:Power vs Force by David R.

There’s a difference between having knowledge and actually knowing something.People have a lot of knowledge about a bunch of things, but until we actually see results in our lives, we don’t really know it. We have knowledge about how we should take care of our bodies, how we need to eat and rest to stay healthy.But unless you’re actually doing those things, it’s just knowledge.Saying “I know” will only stop you from actually learning and block you from taking action. What is it that you don’t quite know yet?This episode is a bit of a loving bitch slap to myself and to you to check in with yourself.What is it that you technically think you know but you’re actually not doing?What’s happening in your body right now?What are the results you’re seeing in your life?Are you operating out of knowledge or knowing?LINKS:Watch my FREE Masterclass What it Really Takes to Change Your LifeWhere To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

There’s a LOT going on in the world at the moment.And there’s a lot of division too.We’re not all going to see eye to eye and that's okay. In fact, it’s expected. Everyone thinks their view is right and the other view is wrong. We don’t have to agree. But we CAN try to understand.Check in with yourself here. Have you tried to understand where someone with a different point of view is coming from?Have you acted out of compassion and kindness towards people who think differently to you?Or are you just focussed on proving yourself right?The thing is, we’re all right in our own eyes.I encourage you to take a step back here because a lot of people around the world are in situations where they can’t do much about what’s happening.What we CAN do is be more compassionate, more understanding, more kind to one another. The most powerful thing we can do now is choose kindness. Choose love. Choose empathy.LINKS:Where To Find Erika:Watch my FREE Masterclass What It Really Takes to Change Your LifeWant all my confidence secrets for $39?

At the time of recording this episode, Melbourne, the city I live in, had just gone into its fifth, scratch that; sixth lockdown. And it sucks. I’m ok. Because I’m doing the work, I’m armed with tools to help me and I know it’s making me more patient and resilient and expansive. But what about the people who don’t know what to do?What about the people who are deeply struggling and have no way of coping?My heart breaks for those people. As a coach and a leader, I think it’s really important to be honest about when I’m struggling. Because we’re all human and we all struggle. This week on the podcast I am sharing from a very raw and real place about the impact of these lockdowns, how I’ve been handling it and what’s been helping me.I have never shared this type of content because I usually sit in the space of empowering, teaching or coaching you, the listener.I have met a new part of myself here and I wanted to share the realness with you.  I am human and things DO affect me.For me, it’s brought up my trauma and how I have felt triggered during these lockdowns.If you’re struggling, my heart is going out to you. Check in with your feelings and give them some air time to find out what YOU need right now.Talk to people. Reach out and call someone and do what you need to do to keep your mind and heart centered.If you’re going through something hard right now, it sucks but it’s not going to break you.Take care of you first LINKS:Resources mentioned:https://drgabormate.com/Where To Find Erika:Watch my FREE Masterclass What It Really Takes to Change Your LifeWant all my confidence secrets for $39?

Do you feel a sense of disconnection from your body?How do you respond when you think about being erotic?What are your thoughts around pleasure? So many women are missing out on the enjoyment of life and all it has to offer, including sex, because they are bound by guilt, shame, and stuck in their heads.We think too much and forget how to BE in our bodies.If you can resonate with any of this, girl have I got an episode for you. My guest today is Tamica Wilder, a Melbourne based somatic sex coach also known as the Orgasmic Mamma. She’s been a guest on the show before and today she’s back to talk about her incredible new book, Wild Honey. Trust me, you NEED to buy this book. Tamica has a deep passion for teaching humans to reattune to the wisdom of their bodies while giving full permission to shamelessly prioritise pleasure and play.Her work is SO important. In this episode we talk about stepping into erotic embodiment, getting out of your head and into your body to fully embrace and experience pleasure, life and joy in all areas of life. We talk about re-writing the old stories of shame, embracing our feminine energy and Tamica also shares some somatic tools she teaches to help women connect back into themselves and embrace their erotic body.This episode is a MUST listen for every woman.

You know those people who just push your buttons?Those situations that make you so angry and frustrated or leave you feeling hurt.Your sibling who complains about everything  Your arrogant co-worker or opinionated neighbourYour controlling motherThe guy who cut you off on the way to workWe all get triggered. And let me tell you, friend... that is a GOOD thing.This episode is all about why getting triggered is so important. It’s a sign that something within YOU needs to be dealt with. We think those things that trigger us are annoying problems that need to go away. But if you let them, all of those people and situations just help you go deeper into yourself and do the work and become a better person.A more kind personA more compassionate personSomeone who is patient and manages conflict wellIf you have “toxic” people in your life, they are here to MAKE you, not break you.In this episode, I talk about looking within to find the insecurity that’s causing you to get triggered, that it’s our choice if we allow people to offend us.I talk about the role of our ego, taking responsibility and the massive opportunity you have when you start paying attention to what’s going on inside. Do you have “toxic” people in your life?They’re actually helping you.

We live in an age where there is information coming out of our ears.If we want to know something, we can find it.If we want to see something, we can watch it.There are literally millions of books and podcasts with information on how to work on yourself and live a more fulfilling life.We have webinars and courses available at our fingertips that will teach us anything we want to know. But no matter how much you read or listen to, the only thing that will help you, is YOU.I see a lot of people who are constantly in the consumption phase. More information, more knowledge, constantly absorbing information.What actually makes a difference is when you start taking ACTION.What have you learned?What’s one thing you could put into action today?Growing is not about the information. It’s about the application.This episode is an invitation for you to look at your life and be honest with yourself.Are you actually applying what you’ve learned and seeing the results in your life?If you’re not, you don’t need to consume anything else. You need to take action.If you take action on ONE thing that you have learned, I guarantee you, your life will change.What action are you going to take today?Resources Mentioned:Listen to Not sure where to start working on yourself?Read “The One Thing” by Gary KellerWhere To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

What do you do when you first wake up in the morning?Who are you hanging out with?What do you do with your 24 hours?What do you spend your time doing?Have you ever really put a microscope on how you spend your time?Are you feeling exhausted from the day “busy”?Or are you shifting, changing, evolving and growing? Lots of us say we want to grow, yet many don’t spend the time required to.This topic of growth has been hitting me lately and it’s something that I’m so deeply passionate about.If you want a better life, if you want things to change, if you want to make an impact in the world, you have to keep growing. I have a challenge for you today to start taking a look at where you spend your time. Start tracking your time, write down where your time is going. Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to.Are you really investing time into learning and growing and uplevelling yourself?This episode is an invitation for you to start looking at your day and blocking out your time. I talk about becoming aware of where your attention is going and challenging the stories you’ve been telling yourself. Where are you allowing your attention to go?

I recently had the opportunity to share my story on Live TV. It was an incredible opportunity to speak out on mass media and share my message about working on yourself and healing your trauma so that you can have a better life.A few years ago, I would have been freaking out about being on Live TV. This time, I flipped the script and was centered within myself.Not who I will be in the future. But who I am now.I’m trusting the timing of my life. It got me thinking about how grateful I am for where I’m at. This episode is about celebrating and loving the process of becoming. It’s not about reaching a certain level of success or accomplishment. We find the gold when we embrace the journey of becoming.  What is coming for you will come at the right time.Where To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

I can’t wait for you to hear from the amazing woman that is Maranda Joiner. We met on Clubhouse early this year and instantly connected! I’m so excited to have her on the podcast to share her wisdom.Maranda is a former radio personality turned Brand Strategist who in 2018, quit her job to pursue her dream of helping people feel seen without guilt or shame so they can RUN into success with confidence. Now, she helps entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners realise their unique brand voice and weave it into their purpose to make money. As a Jackson, Mississippi native, Maranda has consulted and served as the brand manager for talent, placing them in a position to perform at Essence, on Comedy Central, and TruTV. She has also worked as an on-air radio personality for fourteen years and for seven years, she curated and hosted an open mic experience called Synergy Nights.In this episode, I talk to Maranda about her new book, “A Lot Alike: What Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Branding And Purpose”. I absolutely devoured this book and we unpack it a little to talk about creating a branding experience and how making an emotional impact is far more powerful than having everything look perfect.Maranda shares some of the valuable lessons she learned from being raised by a single mother, why fear is sometimes necessary, how her life experiences got her to where she is today plus loads of tangible things you can do to get your brand aligned and on purpose.This episode is HOT.  I know you’ll enjoy this one.Where To Find Maranda:Website: marandajoiner.comBook on Amazon: http://bit.ly/alotalikebookBook on Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/.../a-lot-alike.../1139292888Book on iBook's: https://books.apple.com/us/book/a-lot-alike/id1562929926Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marandajoiner/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marandajoiner/?viewas=&show_switched_toast=false&show_podcast_settings=falseResources mentioned in this episode:“Start With Why” by Simon Sinek Where To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

Hola, hola! It’s my BIRTHDAY!!!! That’s right, I’m getting older. And I’m filled with deep gratitude for every single moment of it.We hear so much about fighting the signs of aging, trying to look as youthful as we can and aging gracefully. But screw that, none of that matters. I’m gonna age GRATEFULLY.In this episode, I talk about the miracle of being alive and how losing my first husband at the age of 23 made me see getting older as something to be grateful for. Being alive is a gift that not everyone gets.It doesn’t matter how young you look, how much money you make or how many followers you have. You can’t take any of that stuff with you. It’s time to flip the script on what aging means to you. What really matters in your life?Forget age gracefully. Age GRATEFULLY.Where To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

We’re in lockdown in Melbourne. Again. Is it a pain in the ass? Yes. Am I gonna stay in the problem? Hell no.Because I’ve conditioned myself to become solution focussed. It got me thinking about how when shit hits the fan, how do you respond?Are you focussing on the problems and the challenges in your life or are you searching for the opportunities and solutions?I thought this would be a good topic to talk about because we all face challenges in life. Nothing is ever perfect. It’s about how you respond in those pain in the ass moments. That’s how you build resilience and get into solution mode.In this episode I talk about leaving the problem mind and getting into the possibility mind. Because when you’re not focussed on the problem, anything is possible.Where To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

So you know you’ve got some areas in your life that you need to deal with? (Don’t we all!)But are you feeling overwhelmed just thinking about it?I have a lot of women tell me they don’t know where to start when doing the work. It’s all too terrifying to face and they're worried about what they may find buried beneath the surface.But what happens if you decide NOT to start the inner work?A lot happens.Because if you don’t face the things that mess with you head on or deal with the issues that are causing you pain, unhappiness or anxiety, they will keep happening...Over and over again. The trick is to tackle the biggest problem first. In my latest episode of the podcast, I talk about how I look at my life from a bigger picture and  work on the big stuff first.I talk about making time to be with yourself, asking questions and being okay to sit with uncomfortable feelings and have difficult conversations. If you don’t have the kind of life you want right now, my love it is your responsibility to change it.We all have something to work on. So what’s your biggest thing?Episodes mentioned in this episode:Breaking Out Of Your Comfort Zone with Endurance Athlete, Samantha GashLife changing conversations you're missing out onWhere To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

I’m talking about women supporting women today. And I mean ALL women. So what does that mean? What does that look like for you?I see a lot of cute quotes and hashtags and t-shirts going around saying there’s no competition and that we need to support each other. But are we REALLY supporting women?  Are you supporting the women who frustrate you? The women who are mean? What about the women who aren’t cool or fashionable or the women who are a pain in the ass? This episode is a challenge to us all to look closer at our lives and businesses and to think about what supporting women really looks like on a daily basis. I talk about what real supportive relationships look like and how we attract what we are willing to cultivate. I talk about lifting up every woman in your life and not making room for jealousy, mistrust or competition.ALL women need to be held, seen and heard. And it starts with you. Only when you are a stand for yourself can you be a pillar for someone else.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Attention business ladies: You have so much opportunity right now. The power that small business has over big business is that you have the ability to build genuine relationships with people. You have the superpower of being able to humanize your business. That is your unique ability and people don’t buy products or services - they buy YOU.And that’s powerful.I really wanted to talk about this topic in particular today because I see so many small businesses out there not making the impact they could be making on social media. In this episode I talk about using social media as the relationship building tool that it is, about sharing your story and why that’s so powerful when it comes to building community and ultimately trust with your clients. If your audience isn’t seeing who you are and what you’re about and why, I can tell you right now that your business isn’t going to create the true impact it can.So sis, what are you doing to build your community and foster great relationships?Where To Find Erika:Want all my confidence secrets for $39?

Everything in my life is my responsibility. This is my mantra and it has served me my entire life.I talk openly about my past; about the sexual abuse, growing up with a mother with bipolar, being in the foster system, my husband dying. It’s a lot... and none of it was my fault. But I've learned that I have the opportunity to choose how I respond to the things that were out of my control. This topic has been coming up a lot with my clients lately and it’s something I feel so passionate about. This episode is all about taking responsibility for those terrible and horrible things that have happened to you and turning them around for your good. This is the work that I constantly do and teach to my clients. Those things are never our fault, but they are our responsibility.So my challenge to you today is, what area of your life can you take responsibility for? Maybe it’s managing your emotions and not flying into a rage when things go wrong. Maybe it’s looking at the state of your relationships, your bank account balance or things going wrong in your business.In life, things will happen that are completely out of your control. You don’t get to choose what happens, but you DO get to choose how you respond. It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility.Be encouraged, my love.  You can make your life whatever you want it to be, no matter what has happened. Episodes we mentioned in this episode:Life Lessons Series: Losing My HusbandGrowing Up With A Bipolar MotherReuniting with my Dad after 20 yearsWhy I’m having surgeryPost OpMy journey with Lichen SclerosisWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

You guys, we have hit 1 MILLION downloads! I was trying to decide how I wanted to celebrate this milestone and to be honest, I really just wanted to hear from the listeners.I wanted to hear from you. What episodes really resonated with you and what action did you take to change your life as a result?So I decided to host a Clubhouse room to have a party so that I could spend some time and hear from anyone that wanted to jump in and chat about the podcast. We had people join in from all over the world and it got me pretty emotional I have to admit. It is hard for me to take compliments and really soak it up when I get praise, so this definitely had me out of my comfort zone.For those of you who couldn’t make it on Clubhouse, we recorded everything so you can be a fly on the wall!Thank you to all of my amazing listeners out there. I really genuinely want people to change their lives with this content, and I want you to know that I appreciate every single download.I love you.Episodes we mentioned in this episode:Stop Thinking Start DoingWhy Don’t We Love OurselvesGrowing Up With A Bipolar MotherLosing My HusbandThe Work with Byron KatieThe Cost of Playing SmallWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

This is an episode that I never meant to be an episode.I was listening back through my old voice memos on my phone, and I found this one where Hamish and I were talking through the last chapter of my book. I wanted to take you behind the scenes with me, back to the moment where we decided what the last chapter needed to say.By this point, I had written so much. I had stayed up so late for so many nights in a row just ferociously writing, editing, reading, and I was exhausted.But I was also so on fire knowing that this book was going to get done, and it was going to be everything that I hoped it would be.To have the support of my husband Hamish through writing this book was so incredible. He is so thoughtful, patient and reframes things for me when I need it. You’ll hear how we bounce ideas off each other in this episode and the moment that I had my most powerful breakdown.Thank you for being on this journey with me.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I have a lot of women in my programs, clients of mine that are single and looking for love. They've been healing from a shitty relationship and they've lost their confidence in getting back out there. They want to know how to overcome it. My love, I have been there too. It's not my current reality obviously as I'm with the man of my absolute dreams, but that wasn't always the case. I have been in some terrible relationships with men that have treated me so badly, and I stayed.I stayed until they broke up with me. I was the damaged goods. I felt like I had done something wrong, I wasn't good enough and that's why they left.These men weren't right for me and yet when we would break up, I would feel horrible. My confidence was through the floor and I thought I would never find love.So, how do you heal after a break up? How do you gain your confidence back?It all starts with you.Take a look at the relationship. Was it really that good? What were you seeking that you'd hoped you'd find in that relationship? Who were you possibly pretending to be, to fit into what they wanted. Breakups are always hard, but there is so much to gain from looking at it as an opportunity for growth. There is love out there for you but the love for yourself must come first.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

We all have those people in our lives who no matter what you do, no matter how much you bend over backward to try and help them, it’s never enough. They are simply unpleasable. And you know what? It’s not your job to please them.I’ve certainly encountered some unpleasable people in my life so I thought this episode would be a great invitation to you to start letting go of the need to please. Because the more you try to please other people, the less you please yourself. And YOU are the most important person in your life. It all comes back to your mindset. Are you going to live your life based on other people’s expectations? Or are you going to fuck what other’s think? #FWOTWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I hear a lot of people refer to “they” when they’re talking about a problem they’re facing. They will judge me, they always criticize me, they won’t understand... But catch yourself, who is “they?” I can tell you, it’s not everyone. It’s likely one person. So this episode is a bit of a loving bitchslap from your girl Erika to shake you out of that thinking, help you identify what the real problem is and decide on the action you’re going to take. It’s one person.

For those of you that have been following along on my journey for a while, you will know that 2020 was one of the biggest years of my life professionally. My business experienced incredible growth, I welcomed so many more members into the Sistahood and I launched my first mastermind to help businesswomen scale their businesses and make huge impact.It has been so rewarding, but now looking back on that I am realising what a crazy time that was and how all of us were set up to fail as far as not taking time to rest, feeling like we needed to hustle to change our business models due to covid and to give as much as we could to our communities who were all needing support. So I did all the things. I got it all done, but by the end of the year I was severely rundown, my immune system was shot, I had a fatty liver and I was wrecked. I vowed that 2021 would be different and then the year started out to be just as crazy if not crazier than 2020. Something needs to give. I am now truly realising and leaning into the fact that I need to slow down. I have been burnt out and it’s exhausting. My guest today on the podcast is Amie Mcnee and is the perfect woman to chat to about this topic. This is actually her second time on the podcast too. Amie is a phenomenal writer and you need to go follow her on Instagram. She is so honest, thought-provoking and really honest about what she needs. Amie has written extensively on the topic of burnout and I want you to really take what you can from this episode. Please learn from the experiences that we share today and take a look at how you run your life too.LINKS:Amie’s previous episode on The Confidence ChroniclesFor The Burnt Out Artist https://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/for-the-burnt-out-artistFor the Procrastinatorhttps://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/we-need-your-art-collectionFor the Perfectionisthttps://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/we-need-your-art-collectionThe Journaling Course https://www.amiemcnee.com/journaling-courseWHERE TO FIND ERIKA:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

What you believe about yourself is everything. It shapes how you think, it shapes what you do, it shapes what you believe about the world and the people around you. So what do you think your life is going to be like if you believe you can’t do it, that you’re not good enough, that you’re not worthy or strong enough or smart enough? You will be those things. So if you want to absolutely murder confidence, all you need to do is believe you can’t be confident. This episode is all about quieting the mind and tuning in to the inner voice to find out what you truly, deeply believe. Somewhere deep inside, we all have a knowing that we are greater than what we look like, what we do and what labels we put on ourselves. That small inner voice says you CAN do it, that you are capable of anything your heart desires. It’s time to turn up the inner voice and turn down the inner critic. It’s time to choose what you will believe. Because you get to decide whatever you believe about yourself. YOU get to create whatever the fuck you want.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I'm in a huge lesson at the moment and I don't have an answer for you. This episode is for me as much as it's for you. Recently I've come to the realisation that I absolutely do not value rest. In my life, there has been no evidence that rest has been the answer to anything. All through my childhood, I had to work hard to get anything. I had to hustle. I had to bust my ass to get what I needed, and I've taken this mentality into adulthood. So I worked incredibly hard to achieve all the things that I've been able to achieve and this hustle was necessary. We were not in a great position when I started my business. I needed to work hard. But now I don't need to work so hard, and also I'm realising it's not sustainable.My life is so beautiful and I am so fortunate. I just need to remind myself of this more often and take restorative rest. Appreciate where you are right now and take away from it what you can.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

This one is for all the mammas out there and the mammas to be. Even if you don’t have children, you’re going to get something out of this episode because it’s all about tuning in to your own voice and following your intuition. I go into some detail about a recent situation with my son at child care and the interactions we had that told me something was really off. I talk about how I made the call to pull him out and why I’m so fierce about listening to my gut and the sensitivity of my child.Trusting your intuition can only happen if you have confidence in yourself first. We need to lean into our inner voice and be guided by our woman’s intuition because there are so many powerful messages for us to hear.I’m sure a lot of mothers out there will resonate with my message here. Trust yourself.BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Ladies, you are powerful. There is so much you can do, so much you can be. But something I see happen a lot is when people feel like there are so many things they want to do that they never end up picking one. That, my friend, is self sabotage. If you’re floundering in life not knowing what to do, or you’re busy creating a million offers and online courses in your business but never really mastering anything, you’re acting out of self sabotage and this episode is for you. I talk about the problem with having too many things on the go and how it’s actually fear that stops you from really committing to something. I talk about how we hold ourselves back because we’re afraid of choosing the wrong thing but that there is no such thing as the wrong thing. Make a choice. Choose today. What is life showing you? What does your heart say?It’s time to stop listening to fear and time to start backing yourself. Go all in and see where it takes you. Life is for learning but you’ll never experience what life can give until you commit to something and give it your all. Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I’ve talked about Clubhouse before and how it’s such an amazing place to meet new people who you’d never get to meet in real life. My guest today, DJ Majd, is no exception and I know you’re going to love hearing this beautiful man’s story of hope and inspiration.Originating from Syria, Majd is a highly successful Montreal based DJ with chart-topping mix tapes reaching No.1 worldwide. He has such amazing energy and is driven by his passion to bring people together and make a difference in the world.In this episode, Majd shares his story of living in war-torn Syria and immigrating to Canada with his father when he was just 16 years old. He talks about making the most of every opportunity, the power of gratitude and how moving to Montreal opened up doors for a creative like him to not only pursue his passion of music but also make his mark in the corporate world.Majd is such a beautiful soul and his humility is evident in everything he does. We talk about our common experiences growing up in tragedy, how every situation is an opportunity and how we can all combine our experiences to learn from each other and grow together.We talk about the power of music to transport someone into another world and how Majd uses his gift to bring people together and serve others. Seeing a need throughout Covid, Majd started the Montreal Connective Community and he shares how this is an opportunity to connect people together to build each other up and forge meaningful relationships. Being an influential person in his community, we talk about leadership, the importance of being real and creating space for others to shine. You’ll take so much from today’s episode as you hear Majd’s story and learn about who he is.

I have such a special treat for you on the podcast today. I’m joined by the incredible Katrina Blowers, an award-winning newsreader on Australia’s Channel 7, a speaker, mentor and host of the Claiming Your Confidence podcast. The media industry might be a lot of smoke and mirrors, but this girl is the real deal and knows what it takes to have true confidence.Well known for her work in the radio and television industry, Katrina also has a passion for teaching people the power of authentic confidence, providing one-on-one coaching to help others tell their own stories. Understanding that we all have a media platform at our disposal, Katrina also runs a workshop empowering young people to master mindful and authentic use of social media.In this episode, Katrina talks about her life growing up knowing exactly what she wanted to do and how she never really thought about confidence until she was going through a divorce and experienced a panic attack on live television. She talks about that experience and how it led her to question everything she thought she knew about confidence.Katrina shares about her journey to recovery following the panic attack, the anxiety that followed and the game-changing discovery of meditation. We talk about not getting swept up in the narrative surrounding our thoughts and how she managed to keep going when her whole world was blowing up.We talk about why so many women struggle with imposter syndrome and don’t believe in the power of their own stories but that every person has something powerful to share. Katrina talks about how she works with other people to build their confidence, that no one has it all together but that we can learn from each other’s experiences.LINKSKatrina’s Website:https://katrinablowers.comInstagram:@katrinablowersKatrina’s Podcast:Claiming Your Confidence PodcastComplete an application for my upcoming SCALE SQUAD MastermindWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

February was a bit crazy for me, and I wasn't feeling great. I felt like I was slipping back into the hecticness that was 2020. I had to assess what I had been doing, and I realised I had stopped doing the things that I need to do to make me feel really good.This is a little IGTV that I did recently. I hope it serves you!Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I’m a busy woman and I do a lot but, keeping it real, I need you to know that I don’t do it all. No one does. I get asked a lot about how I do it all and I thought it would be a good topic to talk about because it’s just not true. I don’t do it all. But what I do, I freaking love. I run a global business, I’m a mother, I’m a wife to the man of my dreams, I’m a daughter to my mother who lives in America, I’m a coach to my beautiful clients who need me, I’m a boss to my staff. How could I possibly do all that by myself and not go loco? I don’t! Because I also say no a lot. I manage my time really well, I ask for help and I have teams of people around me that I delegate to. Sometimes people look at everything I do and think that I’m superwoman and never miss a beat, but I’m human ya’ll. I get stressed, I get overwhelmed, I get angry and cry but I’ve learned that it’s not about the fall, it’s about how fast you get back up. And the fire inside me to see the transformation in the people I work with gives me the energy I need to keep going.So this episode is a bit of a behind the scenes of all that I do, how I operate and what I do when I start to feel overwhelmed and stressed. I talk about some practical things I do, about communication and staying in the present moment instead of thinking about a future that isn’t here yet.Listen to the Victim Land Sucks episode hereWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Those of you who know my story know that I’m a no-bullshit kinda girl. I hustled to build my business up from nothing and now with my business going gangbusters, I still don’t waste money on shit that doesn’t matter. I believe we should be focusing on investing into the future, into something that gives us something back in return.That’s one of the reasons why I was so excited to chat with my guest today. Katherine Persoglia is a no-nonsense mortgage broker, owner of Property Before Prada and she’s forging a path in the financial industry, helping women become confident, independent and reclaim their power through finances. This woman speaks my language!In this episode, Katherine shares about what she does and how she works with women of all ages and demographics to teach them how to have financial freedom. We talk about why we need to be investing, getting your priorities straight to set yourself up financially before you go ahead and buy those Prada shoes. There’s nothing wrong with Prada… just get yourself an investment first girl!Katherine is the real deal and we need more women like her in the world. She takes her job seriously and her drive for helping women move forward in their lives is so inspiring. We talk about kids and teaching them how to be smart with money, about the age of Instagram and how we need to stop comparing ourselves. It’s amazing how the self-worth conversation is wrapped up in it all.I could chat with Katherine for hours, you guys. We talk about why so many women hold back from investing, the mentality we carry that it’s too hard or out of reach and how so many women in their 50’s are financially illiterate. The good news is, it doesn’t have to stay that way. You can reclaim your financial freedom.

I am so passionate about seeing women make money. Where are all the women making money? This is my mission. It’s my life’s work to empower women who want to pave a way, change the world, leave a legacy and impact the world to make it better. I live for this stuff.I recorded this episode on the eve of my Grow Your Fempire workshop, which is an event where I shared exactly what I did to build my business up from nothing because I truly want to see women thrive in business. So for those of you who missed the event or have a business or want to start doing your own thing, I thought it would be great to talk about on the podcast too.In this episode, I give a run-through of some of the things I discussed at my Grow Your Fempire workshop and talk about killing it in business and why anybody can do it if they want to. I talk about mindset and the stories that we tell ourselves, I share some of my story and why I shouldn’t be where I am today, which is why I believe wholeheartedly that anyone can do it. I also talk about Scale Squad, which is something I’m so passionate and excited about. It’s a business mentoring program that I’m about to launch for a small group of selected women and I talk about why I’ve decided to do that and the impact it will make. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. Over the years I’ve invested so much money and time into mentoring and coaching. It is so powerful to sit under somebody who has gone where you want to go, who will call you on your bullshit, who will teach you and guide you in the right direction. If you’ve got some fire in you, if you really want to build something, what are you going to do about it? It’s time to take action, it’s time to go for it.

This is just a short invitation for you to ask yourself, are you trusting the process?Or are you fighting what is? Our current reality may not be what we want but it is the reality and when we fight what is we move away from the present moment.We’re in friction and frustration and this causes even more of what we don’t want.I hope this episode helps you trust the process and trust what is.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I have so much energy right now, I feel like a completely different person. Last year I was killing it on Instagram. I wrote a best selling book, I was helping and serving and working so freaking hard and it all looked great on the outside. But on the inside, my body was dying. So I did something about it.This episode is all about my recent health journey, my incredible naturopath and how he helped me understand what was going on in my body. I talk about the alkaline diet, what that looks like and how it’s completely changed my body. I have more energy, more focus, more air, I lost weight. It’s completely changed my life.I wanted to talk about this because I know so many of you are struggling with your health the same way I was last year and I truly believe this will help you. Don’t wait until you have a fatty liver or a system that’s out of whack. Take care of your body NOW. If you really want to be of service to other people, to your kids, to your community, you can’t afford to put yourself last like I did. Phanos Trangolas at Body.Wise ClinicBuy a ticket to the Grow Your Fempire Event - February 21st, 2021.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I’ve been recording my very first audiobook and listened back to chapter 1 in the studio recently, and I have to tell you guys - it SUCKED. I could hardly believe how bad my voice sounded, it didn’t even sound like me. Looking back, I was so unhealthy and could hardly breathe properly while I was recording it. But it got me thinking about how when we first start out, we always suck. In this episode, I talk about how we’re almost never good at something the first time we try it, and that’s totally okay. You’re always going to mess up but my secret to confidence is that I just don’t care about messing up or letting other people see it. Let yourself mess up! It’s going to help you to become better.

I hear so many people say that they’re going backwards and that they’re stuck in a pattern of repeating the same thing over and over again. But the truth is, you can’t go backwards. You just can’t. We are always moving forward, always changing and evolving and growing. You might be experiencing similar feelings to what you felt in the past, but you’re not going backwards.Think about who you were 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 3 years ago. What were you feeling back then? How was your thought life? What did you spend your time doing? Where was your focus? See, you’re not that person anymore. You’ve learned new things since then, you’ve experienced something different. You’re a new version of you. In this episode, I talk about what to do if you have the feeling like you’re going backwards and encourage you to catch that thinking and give yourself some credit for all the growth you’ve gone through. I talk about not beating yourself up and going into guilt, but taking everything as an opportunity for growth. Yes, growth hurts sometimes. It’s painful and it takes time. But it’s exciting! You’re changing and that’s a beautiful thing.--------Buy a ticket to the Grow Your Fempire Event - February 21st, 2021.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

What is your spending doing for you? If you’re fine with spending money on getting your nails done and your eyebrows done or buying drinks or going out for dinner but you’re not willing to spend a fraction of that on something that will invest into your LIFE or your BUSINESS, it’s time to check yourself. How many times have you said, “I don’t have the money for THAT”?I thought this would be a really good topic to talk about today because I recently had someone say this to me about a business event I’m launching, Grow your Fempire. It got me thinking about where we choose to spend our money and how we end up sabotaging ourselves by spending money on shit that doesn’t matter. And a lot of the time, we don’t even know it. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts on all this and how I worked and budgeted my ass off to get to where I am today. Being so low on money that I couldn’t even afford bread forged something in me and I learned to only invest in the things that I value.Do you know what you’re spending your money on? If you wrote a list of every single thing you bought, I’m telling you, you would be blown away. If you want to grow and make progress and take your business to another level, you have to invest in it and you have to be intentional. I know an investment when I see one and let me tell you, the BEST investment you can make is backing yourself. Look where you’re spending your money and notice your priorities. Are you investing in yourself, your life and your business? Don’t sit around waiting for the day to come when you’ll finally have enough money for everything. Create the money. Find a way to do the thing you really want and back yourself. You’ll never regret that investment.Buy a ticket to the Grow Your Fempire Event - February 21st, 2021.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

If you don’t know what Clubhouse is yet, you’re about to find out y'all. I’m only a newbie and I’m already obsessed with this app and how it can be used to enable people and businesses and connections around the world.In this episode, I talk about what Clubhouse is, how it works, how I’ve been using it and why I love it so much. It’s currently on invite-only mode with over 1 million users already and my bet is that it’s absolutely going to take off. Resources Mentioned:https://www.joinclubhouse.com/How To Be Confident on Clubhouse Cheat SheetWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I got a lot of questions from you all about how Hamish and I set our goals and intentions for each new year, and I wanted to give you the actionable steps that we take to refine how we want to approach a new year. In this episode, Hamish and I talk through our personal goals and intentions for 2021. My word for 2021 is EASE, and so when I look back on the sh*t storm that was 2020, I can be sure of what I want to take with me into 2021 to accommodate the ease I’m striving for. From reflection, I’m also able to look at what I want to leave behind.We pump you full of value today in this episode so make sure you’ve got a notepad and pen!Resources Mentioned:Grab your cheat sheet hereWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Right now we are being sold all this ‘new year, new you’ bullshit, and I’m asking you, what actually changes on January 1st? Nothing. You can have all the ideas, all the thoughts that this year is going to be different, but unless you put those thoughts into action, nothing changes at all. It doesn’t have to be a new year for you to change your life. Your mindset can change at any time and you can take new actions. I’m inviting you to assess where you are, where you’d like to be and then take some action. Resources Mentioned:Atomic Habits - James ClearThe One ThingWhere To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

There is a collective exhaustion going on. I know we’re all feeling it. This year has been tough in so many ways and I’m tired. People think I do it all, I’m hustlin’, I’m some sort of Superwoman and y’all know I do get shit done, but it has been at the expense of my health for sure.I have not been looking after my body this year. Specifically, when I started writing my book and I put that first above all else, it was a slippery slope from there. I’ve gained weight, my body hurts, I’m exhausted and I need to rest. So this episode today is a reminder that no one can work all the time, hustle all the time and come out the other side just fine. Our bodies will tell us what they need whether we’re listening or not. It will catch up with you. Put yourself first. Set your priorities to always include what YOU need above all else, and take some time off.

Why are we so harsh on ourselves? Our bodies are absolutely incredible. We have a heart that beats and keeps us alive, we have lungs that breathe without us realising, legs to walk, arms to write, text, whatever...you get my point. Our bodies are an absolute miracle and yet we hate on them so much. Our inner voice is so loud and so vicious sometimes judging all the things about ourselves that we don’t like, but we’re not appreciating all the things that our bodies do for us. What other species does this to themselves? A dog doesn’t walk around thinking these kinds of thoughts, they’re just present and accepting of what is.I want to challenge you on these thoughts that you have about yourself.  You’re just a human trying to live your life. Give yourself a break and instead of focusing on the things that you’d like to change, take some time to appreciate all the amazing things that your body can do.Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I am so honoured to be sharing this episode with you today.  I had the absolute privilege of interviewing my amazing guest, Kemi Nekvapil, who I’ve been looking up to ever since I saw her speak at the Business Chicks event. She is a trailblazing, powerhouse of a woman and I know you’re going to love her as I do. English born with Nigerian heritage, Kemi spent her entire childhood in foster care. Drawing on her early experiences of disempowerment, she now lives to inspire other women to create lives of worthiness and fulfilment, helping them shape a new paradigm to step into.  Kemi is a personal coach, speaker, author, mother of teenagers, yoga teacher, endurance athlete... The list goes on. She recently returned from Texas training with Brenè Brown as a Dare To Lead Facilitator and in 2018 was invited to Richard Branson’s Necker Island where she sat on a panel discussing ‘humanity at work’. She is an empowering, hilarious woman and has so much depth to share with the world and with you in this episode today. Where to Find Kemi:Kemi’s Website: https://www.keminekvapil.com/Kemi’s Instagram: @keminekvapil Where To Find Erika:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

It’s been awhile since I did a Life Lessons Series episode and I hope this one really helps those of you out there with autoimmune disorders. Two weeks before my first husband died, it was uncovered that I had an auto-immune disorder called Lichen Sclerosus which is basically a thinning and whitening of the skin which causes it to be itchy and peel off. It can happen anywhere on your body, but for me it presents in a very sensitive area, which you’ll hear all about in this episode. What I want you to take away from this episode is that instead of getting bogged down in what you have and how much it sucks, try treating it like a gift in some way. It doesn’t make it any less hard, but it does make you pay attention to what else is going on in your life. What could be causing a flare-up? Are you working too hard? Are you neglecting your spiritual work? Are you tired as hell? I know for me when I have a flare-up, it’s normally when I’ve got too much going on and I’m not resting. Always talk to your health professionals and do what you’ve got to do, but be aware of yourself and how you can be kinder to you first and foremost. Vote for me! https://australianpodcastawards.com/voteJoin the Waitlist to BUY MY BOOK!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

If you're trying to get the attention of someone you admire, first ask yourself how are you adding value to their lives by reaching out? Are you hitting them up with questions without building a relationship first? Are you commenting on their posts, buying their products, supporting their businesses, or are you just coming to them straight up like it's a transaction? You want their attention, but you really haven't earned it. I use myself as an example in this episode, and I want you to really think about how you're putting yourself forward to those you're trying to reach out to. Always focus on adding value and building relationships.Resources I Mentioned:The Thankyou Economy - Gary VJab Jab Jab, Right Hook - Gary VVote for me! https://australianpodcastawards.com/voteJoin the Waitlist to BUY MY BOOK!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Nobody has it all together.  We all drop the ball sometimes.  And you know what?  Whoever you look up to, those celebrities who seem to have it all together on Instagram, guaranteed they are dropping the ball just as much as you, if not more. Because they’re human and we’re all making it up as we go.  I stuff things up all the time but I know it’s part of the process and I trust that process.  It’s not supposed to be easy.  Life is hard but I know how to let the hard stuff strengthen me and teach me valuable lessons for next time.  Let the process strengthen you. Don’t get caught up in self-doubt and all that junk.  If I could say one thing to you right now, it’s this... When you drop the ball (because you will), don’t make it a big deal.  Don’t get angry at yourself and make it a big drama and feel like everyone else is doing better than you.  No one can do it all!  If you dropped the ball you can pick it back up.  Be aware of what happened, make a new plan and move forward.  You got this. Vote for me! https://australianpodcastawards.com/voteJoin the Waitlist to BUY MY BOOK!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

I received a fantastic question from one of my listeners Cynthia, and it happens to be the most perfect time to release this episode as Melbourne prepares for our lockdown to end tomorrow. The question is: How do I manage social anxiety coming out of lockdown?I am SO excited to get back out into the world y'all, but for some people, there is a lot of anxiety around how they will adjust to being back in the world with other people around. We've become so used to being in small groups with just our family, being in our houses most of the day, staying in our little bubble. What happens when we're able to freely move around again and all our public places, our shopping centres, our hair salons start having large numbers of people again. This may be anxiety-inducing for some of you and I want to let you know that's okay.Check-in with yourself. Journalling is a really good idea in this situation. Write down the feelings that you're having about what it's going to be like to be back out in public with other humans and think about what you need to feel safe.LINKS:Join the Waitlist to BUY MY BOOK!Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

If you're struggling right now, I want you to really sit with this and take it all in. It's okay if you're not doing well - 2020 is hard work y'all. But don't expect anything to change, don't expect to start to feel better if you're avoiding your issues. If you're running away from your problems, trying to sweep them under the rug and hope that they'll go away - I'm sorry but they won't go away.You're not meant to do this on your own. Who do you have in your life that you can lean on? Who can help support you when you're feeling awful? I have hot seat coaching that I do with my Sistahood women twice a month, and I hold space for the women in there. I coach them through the issues they're facing and we are there for each other. But not everyone in the Sistahood is jumping on those calls.Some may be avoiding the work. I'm here to tell you that you can't avoid the work. You need to run towards it. You need to stare it in the face, feel supported by someone else if you need to, and work through it.As I mentioned in this episode, download your free self-coaching cheat sheet HEREFollow me hereInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

The other night my husband and I watched a show on Netflix called "The Social Dilemma". If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend checking it out. There was a lot of negativity portrayed in here around the use of social media and how it has turned into a bigger marketing machine than anyone could have anticipated. It got my husband and I thinking and chatting about how we use social media, and how it can be used for good but how important boundaries are when using it. If you have children and they are on social media, I can't even imagine how hard that is to navigate. My kids are only small so they're not on it yet, but if your kids are older there is a lot that needs to be thought about here. I think that social media is an incredibly powerful tool for business, for connecting with people, for feeling part of something but it can also spiral out of control. You can become addicted to watching other people's lives, wishing you were them, comparing yourself to them. In this episode today I give you some tips on how you can use social media in a positive way, setting up boundaries, talking about it with your kids and having times when you just leave your phone alone. I don't think social media needs to be a "dilemma", but like anything it needs your thought around how to use it properly.LINKS:Join the Waitlist to BUY MY BOOK!Watch The Social Dilemma on NetflixInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

One of my beautiful Instagram followers messaged me recently letting me know she was struggling with making decisions. She was in a relationship with a narcissist, there was gaslighting going on and she was really struggling to make her own decisions as a result. So how do you stop being indecisive? It's not something that just happens. You need to practice making decisions all the day. Stop asking for outside input and go within yourself. The more decisions you make, even if they start out really small, will help you build that muscle and give you the confidence to make more.Download My FREE Audio Training - What It Really Takes To Change Your LifeInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

For whatever reason, we may have something happen to us in our past (most likely our childhood or adolescence) that has us seeking validation or acknowledgement from others in some form.The overachiever/workaholic who’s constantly trying to prove to someone that they’re good enough (that’s def been me)The self-conscious woman who obsesses about her body image and how she needs to look externally (that’s also been me)The workaholic who hustles their face off trying to be the most successful they’ve ever been, make the most money they’ve ever made so that they can finally get the approval from society, their parents, ex bullies etc ... (been there too!)The list goes on and on.You finally reach a point where you realise that you don’t need validation or acknowledgement from anyone else but yourselfThis is when you gain your freedom to just BE who it is you want to be.This obviously requires deep excavation of the self and a commitment to letting go of the thoughts, beliefs and things that no longer serve your growthLinks We Mentioned:Power Couples MasterclassConnect with Hamish:Join his free meditation courseInstagram: @manfulnessmenConnect with Erika:GRAB MY FREEBIE - What It Really Takes To Change Your LifeInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

I have been in some terrible relationships y'all. If you've been following me for awhile, you'll know the kind of men I used to date and the way I allowed them to treat me. I was jealous of other women, jealous of what they had and I felt like I could never have that. But after years of working on myself and marrying the most wonderful, respectful man, I thought I was past all of that jealous bullshit. But something came up for me recently that was unexpected.I was on Hamish's phone on the explore section of his Instagram and there were all of these hot women in workout gear popping up. I know that the explore section fills with what you search for - it's all algorithms, so I was confused. I immediately started thinking that Hamish mustn't like my body, that he's looking at fit women because I'm not fit enough, that he doesn't want to have sex with me...all these things that deep down I know aren't true.So I confronted him about it. I asked him straight up why there were all these women on his feed and he told me honestly what was going on. It wasn't that he had been looking at women, that he didn't appreciate my body - he tells me all the time how sexy I am. It wasn't anything like that. He was just looking at fitness clothing.I had made up this story in my head about what Hamish was doing and it all stemmed from what I had dealt with in the past. If you're jealous or comparing yourself to other women, get excited about that. It means you can work on it. You can heal that and change your story. The three questions I asked in this episode are:What actually happened?What did I make it mean?What else could it mean? (this is the game-changer)Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

If you’re out there going through some trouble regarding work during this long ass pandemic that’s just never-ending it seems, this is an episode that you’ll want to tune into.So many businesses have been forced to close and many jobs have been lost. If you are someone that has lost their job, I feel for you and I want to arm you with some steps that you can take to turn your situation around.Firstly, you got to get your money sorted right? Whatever it takes. Apply for welfare, jobseeker, jobkeeper and any government funding you can. There’s also small business grants and other grants that you can look into. Otherwise, if you’re not able to pay your bills you might need to get a non-sexy job that gets you over the line for now. Work at a gas station, look for freelance work online, get onto Fiverr - whatever it takes to get your money sorted. Then you need to get out of the headspace of “I can’t”. This is a very easy place for your mind to live right now. I can’t work, I can’t exercise the way I’d like to, I can’t leave my house. Although these may be true for you, it’s not healthy to live in that mind. Instead, focus on what you CAN do. You can rejig your resume, you can get a job you don’t love for right now, you can spend more time with your kids. You can really think about where your life was heading, and where you need to pivot. I’ve got a lot of tips to share with you today and I hope it helps you feel armed with some positive action.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

I'm writing my first book right now and the journey I am on with this is incredible. I am going deep into my childhood to try and understand the timelines of so many things that I can't really remember. I didn't initially think I would be including a lot of my story in this book but I'm realising how important it is to share as much as I can.As I've gone back through the memories that I have of my childhood, I've been realising how much is missing. I don't know timelines, I don't know ages and I really wanted to do some digging to see if I could join some of the dots for my book.So I started Googling the social worker I had as a child. I remembered her first name and where I was during that time, but that's about it. Sure enough, her name came up and the minute I saw her last name, so many emotions came flooding in.This social worker still works in the same place. I was able to contact her and leave a voicemail. It was incredible. Again, as I heard her voice on her voicemail more emotions came flooding in. I sobbed and sobbed after I left her a message.I didn't expect her to remember me. I didn't expect her to email me back, but she did. And again, a flood of emotions washed over me.So I wanted to share this with you today to let you know that healing is not linear. I have done years and years of work on myself and I have processed so much trauma. I have a wonderful life, a gorgeous family and everything I need. But it doesn't mean that my healing journey is over. The journey will never e over. There will always be things to work through, emotions to process and that is okay.Allow yourself to feel your feelings and know that you will work through them.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

If you've been following me for awhile and know my story, you'll know that my childhood was hectic and through this time I really rejected spirituality and religion for many reasons that I go into during this episode. I didn't believe in anything. I thought religion was terrible. I wasn't spiritual and life was just full on all of the time. I was always fighting, always angry and always cautious of anything spiritual.Then I met Hamish. Now anyone who knows my husband or follows him on social media will know he's a spiritual guy. He does shamanic work, he grew up in a very Catholic household and Hamish has always been intrigued by different religions and has studied many of them. When I met him, he started to break down some of these blocks I had around spirituality and what I'd made it mean to me up until that point. In this episode today I walk you through my journey with spirituality and where I have landed today with it all.Some of the books that helped me with my spiritual journey:Wayne Dyer - Theres a Spiritual Solution to Every Problemhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20972.There_s_a_Spiritual_Solution_to_Every_ProblemWayne Dyer - Change your thoughts change your life Deepak Chopra - The Book of Secrets Deepak Chopra - 7 Spiritual Laws of Success Joe Dispenza - The Placebo Affect Movies:What the bleep do we know - Down the Rabbit hole - https://whatthebleep.com/down-the-rabbit-hole/The Shift - Wayne Dyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SnWOTDykAc&t=599sThrive - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEV5AFFcZ-sConnect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

I need you to take a minute with me here to delve into this topic. How other people act, react, think, feel and speak is out of your control. What they believe, their life circumstances, what they've seen is completely unique to them and as a result of their experiences, people will behave according to what they believe to be true. You may not agree with them, but you don't have to be an asshole. You don't have to sit there judging them or assuming who they are based on something completely surface level. You have a choice in these moments to either be a dick, or just focus on yourself. When we're divided as a community we suffer, we fight, shit doesn't get solved. When we stand together and BE KIND is where the real magic happens.So before you judge someone in future, instead just try to come from a place of compassion and be a good human.

Y'all know there's a lot going on right now. Whether you're in lockdown or not. It doesn't matter where you are, we all know that 2020 is a lot. It's heavy and we all recognise it. But I'm not here to tell you that it's heavy. You already know that because we're getting blasted with images, stories, videos all over our social media platforms. And if you let all that in, if you let yourself go down a rabbit hole of all the bad shit that's happening right now, you'll start to feel really heavy.So instead of focusing on all the things that are happening out there that are out of your control, this is my invitation for you to come back to yourself. Pay attention to your immediate surroundings. Pay attention to how you're feeling, thinking, behaving and whether you're serving your own needs and the needs of those around you. If you're doing your part, if you're showing up for yourself, then you're able to show up for others. It's that simple. Don't get yourself bogged down thinking about all the bad shit that's happening, just come back in and work on what you need. Now I'm not saying don't support the causes that you want to support, that's not it at all. All I'm saying is, focus on what you can control right now and take a fucking breath ya'll. 2020 is a marathon not a sprint and you need to pace yourself. Compassion fatigue is real and if you're getting overwhelmed, that's not going to help anybody.I love you. I support you. I'm with you. Join the Sistahood and feel supported by a community of women that are doing such amazing work. I'm so proud of y'all.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

There is a lot to unpack on today's episode y'all. I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Leigh Mathew's podcast "The Good Problem" a couple of months ago, and she was asking me questions that I'd never really been asked before around doing good, and what that really meant. It was a really interesting conversation, and the more I've learned about Leigh, the more my eyes have been opened to the incredible work that she is doing in the world. This is a woman on fire with a purpose and I'm so pleased to bring her onto the podcast today. We go pretty deep into a lot of topics, but I really want you to take away from this episode a curiosity to dive deeper into the good you're wanting to do in the world. When you're looking to support a charity or an organisation, really do your research to understand whether the impact you're trying to make will actually be achieved. There are so many organisations out there that have the best of intentions that are actually doing more harm than good. Shocking I know, and when I first heard that from Leigh I couldn't see how that could be, but it is very much the case.I hope you enjoy!Connect with Leigh:Website: https://www.leighmathews.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_leighmathewsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigh-mathewsaltoPodcast: The Good ProblemConnect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

I've been battling with myself a bit lately because I want to do all the things. I want to serve all the people. I want to reply to every message, every email, every DM on Instagram and I want to be there for y'all. But the thing is, I'm tired. I've got a husband. I've got kids. I've got other things to do in my business and I realised that I was setting these unrealistic expectations for myself as to how much I could achieve. In the beginning of building my business I was able to reply to everything and that felt amazing, but I have to come to terms with the fact that this won't always be achievable. I can't be all the things to all the people. So I'm currently navigating my way through how best to stay connected to this beautiful community that we are building, but also have the time and space to create and relax. It's a challenge, and I invite you to do the same.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

We're so hard on ourselves, and especially right now with all the craziness that's going on, we really need to give ourselves a break. Look y'all, being a human is hard work. We've got so many things going on all the time and there are so many opportunities to fuck things up, and we will. That's a guarantee. You've got to have patience and respect the process. You've got to work on cutting yourself some slack and just chill out. Stop trying to swim up stream and just go with the flow sometimes. Stop making it harder for yourself than it has to be. I've been working so hard during COVID, I've realised I've barely taken a breath. It's my time to shine. I work in mental health and there are so many of you struggling out there right now, but I know I also have to give myself a break. I need to take my own advice and just chill. Find some time to take care of yourself and sit with your feelings.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

I get a lot of messages from women saying things like, "No one is speaking up for the beauty industry, the LGBTQ community, single mothers..." etc, it could be any niche. They're wanting more to be done but for some reason don't think it should be them that uses their voice. They wish something more was said or done for a certain community, but they don't do anything themselves. Consider that perhaps that's your purpose calling you to action. If you are passionate about something, then use your voice and start a movement, start a group, start a YouTube channel. It doesn't really matter what it is, just start something. If you're wishing that someone would speak up for a cause, why is that person not you? Your purpose lies in the thing that you're most passionate about. It doesn't matter how "small" you think that thing might be. If it makes you happy and you feel fulfilled, that's all that matters.

Today's episode is an IGTV from my Q&A Tuesday show. The question was:"How do I tune into my intuition? I feel like I'm blocked. I feel like I don't get messages. How do I know if I'm have intuition or not and why do I feel like it's not coming through for me?" We often hear the word "download" used when people are talking about listening to their intuition, and that might not be a word that resonates with you. Maybe you think that because you're not getting "downloads" that you don't have intuition. That's not the case. Everyone has intuition. Your intuition is basically just your feelings. If you're really listening to how you're feeling, how your body is reacting to a situation, or a thought - that's all it is. Just being more aware of your body and your mind is all it is.

She has raised $1.5 million dollars for charities such as World Vision, Save the Children and the Australian Red Cross.A trailblazer in the endurance world, Samantha was the first woman and the youngest person at the time, to complete the Four Deserts Grand Slam - one of the world’s toughest endurance competitions that spans 1000kms across the hottest, coldest, driest and windiest deserts on earth.With over 25,000kms under her feet and years of pushing her mental and physical boundaries - she now uses running as a vehicle for social change through advocacy; peer to peer fundraising and integrated digital campaigns (see social impact campaigns below).

My love, I want you to really listen to me here. If you're wondering why you're not getting what you want, most of the time the answer is simple. You're not doing the work. I've said it before and I'll say it again and again, but if you aren't willing to go into the depths of yourself and really look at who you are - the shadow self, the mean girl that lives inside of you, then you'll never be able to get the results you desire.I know that if you listened to what I'm saying and did the work, you would start to feel better, you would change your attitude, you would change your mind. It won't happen immediately, it's going to take some time, but it will happen. Get a piece of paper, a piece of toilet paper, a Kmart receipt - whatever it is that you can write on and start to write down those thoughts that are in your head. Have a look at them and you will start to recognise the patterns that are stopping you. You can be your worst enemy or your best friend, all the work starts with you.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Confidence Chronicles and The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

As you may know, I'm writing a book about confidence. It's something that I have wanted to do for awhile and y'all know I've got a lot to say on the topic. So I've been trying to figure out how to actually write this thing. I googled it, I got transcripts from my podcast episodes, I wrote things out on sticky notes, I was doing my head in over it. I felt stressed and I wasn't getting anywhere. So I started thinking about something that I learned from Dean Graziosi when he said that he doesn't focus on his weaknesses, he only focuses on his strengths. Why was I trying to write a book? I'm not a writer. I'm a speaker. I will talk at your face all day long, but make me write and I'm lost for words. I've created the resources that have allowed me to now outsource my book writing to a wonderful ghost writer which can leave me to continue doing the things that I know I'm great at.This is not permission for you to procrastinate and not do things because you say you're not good at them, but it's an invitation to think about what you can outsource and if you can't afford to do that right now, who can you turn to for help, or how can you work towards making enough money that you can one day outsource those things that you suck at.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Confidence Chronicles and The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

This is a lesson that I'm in the middle of right now. As ya'll know, I recently had surgery and it's been full on. I've been pushing myself too hard, running around still doing all the things without truly acknowledging how I'm feeling. I'm sore. I'm tired. I've got a million thoughts happening with all the things I want to do. I'm so passionate about all the injustice that's going on in the world right now and I want to serve. But listen, if you're not stopping to acknowledge what your body and your mind really need, then you better believe there will come a point when you can't avoid it anymore. It will make you aware and you will be forced to stop.So my question to you is, are you checking in with yourself? Are you acknowledging that you need time, you need space, you need to sit down and just rest? If you're not doing any of that, how can you expect to be full of energy and ready to serve. It's the truth. I don't believe that life is short. I believe it's long and although I feel as if I've lived such a full life already, I've barely scratched the surface. But if I don't stop and slow the fuck down, then I won't be any good to anybody. Sit with the questions that I ask in this episode. Really feel them and feel your body. Acknowledge that you need to look after yourself and recognise that you need to breathe.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Confidence Chronicles and The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

It’s been a big year.  A BIG year!  As most of you know, I recently had surgery to have my breast implants removed after 13 years and then a breast lift.  Ya’ll it really knocked me out and I really didn’t think it was going to be such a big deal.  It took a lot of time to heal and now I’ve hit the ground running with live events starting back up and so many things happening, including my birthday!I just turned 37 and I feel like I’ve learned so much this year. These thoughts were pouring out of me at midnight so I decided to share 10 things I’ve learned from turning 37.Even though you’ve already changed so much, there’s still so much more change to comeIf you allow yourself to dream big, you can achieve the unthinkableYour words create your worldIt is ok to have everything you wantEvery time you’re about to move or jump to a new level of yourself, you are definitely going to be scared and “nervicited”I don’t slow down anywhere near as much as I can and that this will be my superpower which I haven’t even scraped the surface ofI sucked at friendships this year and I sucked at keeping in touch with my mom and dad and I need to do better thereYou can thrive and change the world even in a pandemicFamily time matters.  It’s ok to be scared when you’re going to be bold and stand up for something.

I'm feeling like my normal self again and it feels amazing to have a clear head and energetic body.

It has been a weird few days post implant removal surgery. The pain medication has caused some really tough side effects that caused me to feel like I've been in a daze for the last few days. I couldn't focus, my headaches were intense and my expectations as to how quickly I'd be able to bounce back from this were way off. This has been quite an intense experience and has required a lot more rest and healing than my initial breast surgery 14 years ago. I have stopped taking the pain medication and have now started to feel better. This is the second episode in my breast implant removal series.

Ya'll know I like to keep it real, so over the next few episodes on the podcast, I'm going to share with you my journey through my breast reduction surgery. When I was 23 years old I had a breast lift done because I was really self-conscious with the way they looked at the time. They were big still, but they were saggy and I really didn't feel good about them. So I had a lift and in order to do the lift, I had saline implants put in to give them good shape. It has now been almost 14 years since I had the surgery and my boobs are gigantic. They don't cause me pain, there have been no dramas, but I really felt called to have the saline implants removed and to get some smaller boobies happening. This is the first episode in the series that takes place before I've gone through the surgery.This is my journey through the process. I hope it helps you!Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Confidence Chronicles and The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

Y'all know there's a lot going on right now and there are a lot of people that are not speaking out, because they feel like they don't know what to say, or they're going to get it wrong, or they don't know enough. I'm here to tell you that's not good enough. It's not good enough to stay silent because you're not confident to speak up because you don't know enough to feel like you can contribute. You need to learn. You need to research and you need to find a way to be an active part of this movement. The Black Lives Matter movement is a marathon, not a sprint. Learn, grow, rest and then get back up again and continue with the fight.Today on the podcast I'm letting you into the audio version of a webinar we hosted for people who are really struggling with speaking up and speaking out right now and it was such an empowering conversation for everyone involved. We are one collective. We need everybody to come together and there is something that every single one of us can do. We don't need perfection. We need to let go of the opinion of others and trying to get it right, because we're not going to get it right. That's the whole point. We need to learn and support each other through this.If you want to watch the webinar please email us: [email protected] TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

My love, I have a very special guest for you on the podcast today, Madhavi Shankar. I found her when I was looking through Ted Talks and came across a really interesting talk that she gave around gender bias and women's empowerment. Y'all know I'm all about the women's empowerment and I felt called to have Madhavi on the podcast to share her story. Madhavi is the real deal. She is the CEO and founder of Space Basic which is a networking app for student housing communities. She was voted as one of the top 60 women transforming India by the government of India as well as the United Nations. The thing that I loved about this conversation is hearing Madhavi talk about her upbringing and how supported she was by her parents to follow her dreams. Madhavi really hasn't struggled with self-doubt either. She found herself a really great female mentor who she could bounce ideas off of, and her family has been behind her through her journey. So this episode is especially for those of you out there that come from a culture where perhaps your gender predetermines what you can and can't do. You may feel trapped sometimes, or feel as if you cannot break tradition. Madhavi is proof that you can break the mould and do what you feel called to do.Where to Find Madhavi:Instagram: @MadhaviShankar @SpaceBasicAppLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhavishankar/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/madhavishankar13Space Basic: http://www.spacebasic.comSpace Basic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpaceBasic/Twitter: @Madhavi_Shankar@SpaceBasicApp WAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

With everything that's going on right now in the USA around the murder of George Floyd, I have been feeling really heavy. So I decided to record an IGTV to address a lot of the comments, posts and conversations I was witnessing online. If you'd like to go and watch the IGTV, head to my Instagram. Listen stop feeling guilty for being privileged and start taking action to make some much needed change. I keep reading posts from people feeling sorry for their privilege. Feeling guilt and shame around their privilege and the way they grew up. Like, they don't know how to act, how to respond because of their privilege. My message to you is this: Don't be sorry or guilty about your privilege. It's not your fault that you grew up white, in the suburbs with lots of money. That's not your fault. Don't feel sorry about it, be AWARE of it and know that it IS your responsibility to learn what's going on in the world. Learn about those that have not grown up privileged and use your voice in a way that will help humanity. Don't stay silent. Racism needs to end and it starts with every one of us doing our part in this movement. 

We're giving each other advice that we probably don't even realise is literally some of the worst advice that we can give each other. When you say, "Just be yourself", what does that actually mean? It means staying within the boundaries of who you currently are. Or maybe it freaks you out because you don't really know who you are. You think that you need to act a certain way, or be a certain thing because that's who you've always been, but ladies - that ain't serving you.You need to be open to evolving and changing constantly. It's totally fine to think of yourself as one thing, and then the next day, try something else. If you're happy, be happy. If you're sad, be sad. Let yourself be whoever you feel like being on any given day and roll with it. There is so much goodness to come when you're more open with yourself to just feel your feelings and be whatever you feel like being.

Recently it was the anniversary of my first husband, Jeo's death and I received some messages on Instagram from people that got me thinking about this idea of feeling "sad" when someone has passed away. Today on the podcast, Hamish and I chat about how we celebrate Jeo and why we don't like this "death guilt" mentality. Why is it that for the one day a year that we truly acknowledge someone's death there's this expectation that we need to be sad? This idea that we need to sit in suffering and mourn. We as a society really have not come to terms with death, yet we all end up passing on. That's a fact and it's unavoidable. Why do we feel the need to feel sad about someone passing on, instead of focusing on how they lived, what joy they brought to our lives and the impact that they had on those around them? So we want to remind you that you are allowed to not be sad on the anniversary of someone's death. The last thing that they would want is for you to be sit in suffering because you feel like you "have to" or that you "should". Create your own rituals around remembering them, acknowledge their existence and feel however you want to feel about it.

I've been getting messages lately from people who are concerned that they've been copping flack for expressing their opinions on social media. Whatever the topic is, it doesn't matter but certainly right now in the time of COVID it's really being highlighted how different our views can be. My love, I need you to understand that's okay. We're not all supposed to agree. We've all come to our own conclusions in our own unique way.Remember that your social media is your place and you are entitled to share what you want on your own page. I'm not saying you should go and be a jerk. Be nice. Be kind. Just understand that not everyone is going to agree with you and that's normal. Don't hide yourself away because you feel like you'll lose followers. Girl, if you lose followers that's a GOOD thing. The people that connect with you will stay and you'll be creating a safer space for each other. Don't troll y'all. Don't waste your time arguing with people you don't know on social media. Just block, delete and move on. It's not worth it.WAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

We met on a business summit that Lina was hosting and there was an instant connection. Lina pours her heart and soul into everything she does. She emphasises the importance of adding value AHEAD of time which y'all know I talk about all the time.I learned things about Lina during this conversation that made me love her even more. From the literal Cinderella story Lina has turned her trauma into triumph in so many ways. She has created a thriving business for herself, is the queen of collaboration and is such a heart-centred human being.Sign up for the FREE Business Accelerator Program that Lina and I spoke about during this episodeFollow Lina on Instagram: @linaescamillaWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course

Can you consume too much personal development information? The answer is basically no, but it's more involved than that. The issue is whether you take ACTION on what you're consuming. If you're not taking action on what you're consuming, you're not really doing anything. You're just taking in a bunch of info that you don't do anything with. That's what I'm breaking down today. As I mentioned in the episode, try to focus on one area of your life that's really messing with you right now and take ACTION to improve in that area. You can't address everything all at once, but if you break it down into smaller parts, you're more likely to get the results you're looking for.If you would like to leave me a voicemail and have a chance to be featured on The Confidence Chronicles Podcast, head to the podcast page of my website and go right ahead!

As you may know, my husband and I used to be in a cult. The guy who ran it was a business coach and we were in his program for two years. It was full on and as much as we learned a lot and it was incredible in hindsight, the values of this man and the narcissistic behaviour were huge red flags that we didn't see at the time. We were allowing his values to take over us and when we finally got it, we realised how far out of alignment we were with this guy.So I'm talking directly to my business ladies out there today. Maybe you already have a coach, maybe you're looking for one, but the question I need you to ask yourself is, "Do they align with who I am, or who I am aspiring to be." If the answer is, "no" then you've got to get the hell out of there.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

Y'all it's almost Mother's Day, and I wanted to share with you a really special conversation that I had with my mum at the end of last year. This was just after my father had flown back to Peurto Rico after being in Australia with us for Christmas. I had not seen him in 20 years and I flew him out for the first time ever. My mum had not seen him in 25 years. It was a big fucking deal and there were a lot of emotions.So I wanted to talk to my mum about how she felt about reuniting with him after so many years, and how her thoughts about him may have changed. I hope you enjoy!Go back and listen to my previous episode: Reuniting with my dad after 20 years to get the full picture.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

I received a great question via my website for our Q&A today ladies! The question was this: How to not let your own insecurities about your body interfere with your sex life with your partner when they have a better physique than you do. How do you not let your feelings of low self-esteem or low self-worth cock-block you from having the intimate relationship that you want to have?I did a podcast on this topic a little while ago "Why You Need To Love Your Body TODAY" so first of all, go and listen to that episode after this one.When we don't feel comfortable in our own bodies, we lack confidence in our own body, you better believe we show up in the world like that. We wear the baggy clothes, we hide ourselves away and we don't own the body that we currently have. We don't talk to our partners about it either. We just assume that they don't want to have sex with us, they don't want to be intimate with us, but where is that coming from? That's your own dialogue my love. Accepting what is, that's hard as fuck I know. I've been there. It's a journey and it takes time, but I hope this Q&A helps you think about your body and your sex life differently.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

My friends, I am extremely excited to present my guest for today, Marlee Liss. This has been one of my most favourite episodes I've done as an interview so far. I cried many times and I feel the message that Marlee has to share is such an important one. Marlee has an absolutely extraordinary story. She was sexually assaulted when she was 21 years old and the court proceedings that followed actually concluded in restorative justice. Basically this is where the focus is on repair rather than punishment and it is not something you hear about very often. In fact, Marlee's case was the first in North America to resolve in restorative justice. I found this conversation to be truly inspiring and resonated with me on so many levels.Marlee now helps women claim sacred sensuality so they can live in self-love and inner wholeness. As a women’s embodied love coach, author and retreat facilitator, she has worked internationally to inspire transformative healing. Marlee’s work is deeply shaped by her background in social work, trauma-informed yoga, somatic sex education, and body image facilitation.

During this weird ass time I've been getting a lot of questions from y'all about how to stop yourself from feeling all the anxious thoughts due to all the uncertainty. The answer is fairly simple, don't go future. All you need to do right now is to stay here and acknowledge that in this moment, you have everything you need. Look at how many of your thoughts are in a future that hasn't come yet. Use this time to exercise presence. What are you thinking? Who are you listening to? What are you paying attention to? Who are you following on social media?Take a break my love and go do something, watch something or listen to something that makes you laugh. Don't go future. There is no future. There is only now.Books that I mentioned:Echkart Tolle - The Power Of NowThe Practice Of The Power Of Now for the more "cliff notes" versionVisit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

My love, you don't need to hold everything together all the time. You're telling yourself that you need to hold it together for your partner, your kids, your work, your health but there's nothing healthy about "holding it together". You need to let some of the pressure out or you're going to explode like a fucking shaken up champagne bottle. If you don't relieve the pressure on a regular basis, shit's going to get real. But there's a big caveat to this ladies - this permission to break down is only for the ladies that have been working on themselves, that have healed a lot of their shit, that are managing their mind and have the proper tools in their toolkit. If you've got the tools, when you break down you'll be able to work through them, feel those feelings and move through them. If you haven't been working on your shit, then "breaking down" is just another excuse to not do anything.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

After so many episodes of the Confidence Chronicles podcast, I've realised that I've barely spoken about death and the grieving process. As you may know, my husband Jeo died in 2007 and I had never had anyone close to me die before. I had no idea how to handle it, process it and work through it at the time so I suppressed the emotions. It wasn't until I discovered the work of Byron Katie that I began to process and understand what grief meant for me personallyThe more I work on myself, the more I go into the rabbit hole and managing my mind, the more I am able to reconcile with what is and what can happen.So many of you have lost people or will lose people. What we know for sure is that just as we were born, we will die. How is it that we still struggle with this, even though we know for sure it's going to happen. It's such an interesting topic to talk about and I wanted to give you a bit of insight into how I have made peace with death.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood

If you're looking to start your business right now, or maybe you've been at it for awhile and you're not gaining the traction that you think you should be, this podcast episode is for you. Stop waiting until you've got all your shit together. Stop waiting for the website to be finished, the perfect logo, the mailing list subscribers....all the things. Stop making excuses for not starting, and just start. Use social media the way it is meant to be used. Connect. Engage. Share. Be real. You're never going to get anywhere if you don't use all the tools you have available to you and you don't have to spend a whole lot of money.

Look, I know you're sick of hearing about COVID19 and I know you're probably getting a million emails from businesses talking about it too. I don't want to add to it and I know we all just want to get on with our lives, but the fact of the matter is right now things are different. Life is different and how are you handling it? Like really, deep down, how are you handling your current situation, whatever that looks like for you.There are a few things that I'm witnessing that I wanted to bring to your attention today that you can be sure are not serving you during this time, or really ever to be honest. But it's worth looking at right now while you have the time and the space to go inwards.Generalising peopleTaking on the mediaProjecting yo' shitMartyrdom (this word y'all - it's too big)Numbing outI hope you enjoy this episode my love.

Éste episodio están importante porque estoy hablando de cómo manejar tu mente en tiempos como estos es más importante que nunca entender lo que estás pensando. Tus pensamientos son todo, si no sabes lo que estás pensando no puedes cambiar tus resultados en tu vida Tus pensamientos son todo, si no sabes lo que estás pensando no puedes cambiar tus resultados en tu vida.Cómo piensas afecta cómo te sientes, tus emociones, que afecta las acciones que tomas y termina en los resultados que tienes. Si no te gustan tus resultados tienes que cambiar cómo estás pensando. En este episodio hablo de un libro que se llama amar como es de Byron Katie. Ella tiene este libro en español también, Éste libro te puede cambiar la vida y es tan fácil manejar tu mente no solamente es fácil pero necesario en tiempos como estosTe quiero un montón muchas gracias por el apoyo por favor pásale este episodio a alguien que tú crees que necesita oírlo.Finalmente si necesitas más ayuda con manejar tu mente yo tengo un mini curso en esto (es en inglés) ve a: Managing The Mind - Mini CourseI have another episode in English "What Are You Choosing To Focus On" which is on the same topic of managing your mind if you would like to give that one a listen too.X E

I'm bringing back my Q&A Tuesday that I used to run every Tuesday on Instagram Live. I'm so happy to have the space to do this for you again. The question for today is:How do I get Out Of The Current Situation I Am in?X EAs live events are postponed until further notice, we are taking all our coaching and masterclasses ONLINE.

My love, listen up. Stop this ridiculous thought that if you're a mother, you can't also have a thriving business. I get questions all the time from women asking how I run my business and also have two kids. You know what, it doesn't have to be that difficult. You're making it difficult by thinking that you need to be everything to everybody. As much as I'm telling you here that you CAN have a business and be a great mother, you also need to recognise that you CAN'T do it all. There are sacrifices that you need to make in order to live the big dreams. There are many things that I'd like to do, that I simply don't have time to do. You have to really think about what's important presently, and work towards creating that reality for yourself. Don't sit there thinking that it's all too hard, that you'll feel guilty if you don't make organic fucking meals for your children, clean the whole house and have your shit together all the time. Ladies, you know I'm a hot mess. But I know what's important. I have my priorities and I get shit done. Step out of the guilt that you're surrounding yourself with and choose to make your life better.X EAs live events are postponed until further notice, we are taking all our coaching and masterclasses ONLINE. Keep up to date on what we've got going on via our website and as I mentioned in this episode, if you are a mother in business, you need to be in the Sistahood. We would love to have you.

I'd like you to take a look at how you respond when you're under pressure. Do you try to hide from the issue, do you try and run away from it and pretend it doesn't exist, or maybe your adrenals kick in and you try to fight your way through it. Hamish is joining me on the podcast today to help talk us through this "fight or flight" response that we're all currently experiencing and how we can help ourselves out. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and slip into high stress, but what will that ultimately achieve? Your body and mind needs to be calm enough to think creatively and look at the possibilities that are around you. We're breaking down some tips for you today that will help relieve the pressure, and allow your mind to adapt in a creative way.I hope you enjoy my love.

My love, we need to talk about what’s going down right now in the world. I don’t really want to be doing a coronavirus episode because frankly, I don’t want to give this more fuel, but what I do want to do is check in with y’all and make sure that you’re doing okay and that you’ve got your mind sorted. How are you managing your mind right now, because what’s going down is crazy. The panic buying is out of control, the stress levels are high and people are glued to the news. That’s accelerating fear and it’s unnecessary.Now I’m not telling you that you shouldn’t be safe. I’m not telling you that this isn’t a problem. It very much is, but how you choose to think about it, and what you choose to focus your attention on is 100% within your control. If you’re letting other people and their fears influence you and exacerbate fear, that’s serving nobody. That’s not doing anyone any good. How about taking the time to focus on any positives that you can find from the current situation. How about focusing on what you CAN do during this time of uncertainty, instead of thinking about all the things you can’t do. Remember, how you react is your responsibility. Do your meditation, do your breathing, stay at home if you can and focus on what you can control.I love you and I’m here for you. Join me for a free webinar on Sunday, 22nd March, 2020 at 9AM AEST to help you manage your mind.

I am grinning from ear to ear because I have a sexy ass man on the podcast today. Yep, that’s right y’all I’ve finally pinned my husband Hamish down to join me on the podcast. There are so many things we need to talk about, but we're going to give you our background "origin story" first up today. This man came into my life at a time when I was so lonely, so low and off the back of a horribly abusive relationship with a guy I'd moved to Melbourne for. As you've heard me say before, I had a history of dating the same guy, different dick and when Hamish came along everything changed. This year we're going to be focusing on a lot more couples work, and we're excited to share this with you. If you join the Sistahood you'll be seeing a lot more of Hamish in there too in future modules. There's so many things to explore and so many learnings we're ready to share with you.Follow Hamish here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manfulnessmen/Listen to his Podcast - ManfulnessSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/23avhq1Xtlxb0Cs2cHGfboApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/manfulness/id1466576149Alterego Gym: https://www.altego.com.au/x EWant to meet in real life?Our next event is in MELBOURNE on the 5th of April, 2020.

I am right now in a lesson of my business, and I need you to hear this. You cannot do all the things at once. Even though you might be on fire and so full of passion for what  you're doing that you think you won't burn out, well I'm here to tell you that you need to slow the fuck down.This is a business lesson I'm learning and I have the lovely Liliana (@lilianasanelli) to thank for this latest revelation. I want to meet all the ladies, I want to do all the things, I want to take my ass around the world and hug every last one of you, but I've realised that shit ain't sustainable. Running events is hard as fuck y'all and running them overseas is even harder. Who looks after your kids while you're gone, how much is all that travel eating into your profit, how exhausted are you going to feel?So I'm shifting my focus to my home turf and practicing patience. I'm coming for ya'll. You know that. Give yourself permission to think big, but start small.x EWant to meet in real life?Our next event is in MELBOURNE on the 5th of April, 2020.

Listen ladies, we’ve got to stop treating social media like it’s the devil. You know why people say it’s toxic? Because they’re following fake as shit accounts where the grid is perfect, the stories are perfect, the kids look perfect and there’s not a shred of hair out of place. It’s not social media’s fault, it’s our fault. We need to stop putting on this mask that everything is fucking perfect, and just be okay with the fact that it’s not. We’re all real people. We all have real problems. We all poo. You know what I’m saying? Perfection is what is keeping us disconnected from each other, and that’s what I’m coming at you to say today.This is an Instagram live that I did, and I felt it was still so relevant that I had to share it with you on the podcast. So listen up ladies. Stop trying to be something that you’re not to avoid the judgement. People are going to judge you no matter what you do, you’ve just got to work on being okay with it.Want to meet in real life?I’m taking my creating confidence masterclass global!

Today’s episode is a very emotional one. I hadn’t seen my dad in 20 years. My mother hasn’t seen him in 20 years. I decided to fly him to Australia for New Year’s Eve. This has been one of the most healing things I have ever experienced. I talk about my story with my dad, how he kidnapped me when I was 7. How I got the chance to hear his side of the story which was very different. It’s been incredible to reconnect with my dad after all this time.

Recently the amazing January Harshe shared a VERY IMPORTANT message about TW (trigger warnings) on her post on her @birthwithoutfear Instagram and it really got me thinking.So many of the women I come across will say someone triggered them and I have to tell you right now that how you respond to someone’s behaviour is your choice.Are people rude, hard work and inappropriate sometimes? Yes!  But how you choose to respond is your RESPONSIBILITY. (RESPONSE • ABILITY) your ability to respond.I am not saying it’s ok how people act but I am saying that you choosing your response and working on your stuff when it brings something up for you, is where your power lies.I am and have always been about us taking responsibility back. If there is something showing up for you, it’s an opportunity for you to get to working on it. Getting into the subconscious patterns, thoughts/feelings and beliefs that may be coming up for you.As Byron Katie says “An unquestioned mind is a world of suffering” I hope this serves you my love  x EWant to meet in real life?I’ll be taking my creating confidence masterclass globally!

I am and have always been a bold stand. I speak freely and share my truth (with love always) but there are times when someone may not agree with me.  There are definitely times where I get feedback about how much I swear or how strongly I speak my voice about certain topics, but I have a choice as to how I respond. I recently shared a post on Instagram speaking about triggering and I got a lot of feedback on that post. I share in today’s episode about how I don’t take things personally and why it’s been such an amazing and freeing way to live. If you are someone out there who takes things personally and finds it difficult not to, this is definitely the episode for you.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year..“ Or not! The holiday season for most people is extremely difficult. In today’s episode, I wanted to give you some actionable tips and things to consider when moving into one of the busiest most hectic times of the year. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the end of the year is usually a time where most of us have to exercise our values, our boundaries and start practising everything we’ve been learning about working on ourselves. Some of the topics are covered in this episode are:  How to create an intention so that you may get the results you desire this season How not to allow family dynamics to trigger you into old patterns and behaviour How to set boundaries for yourself and your family unit Discovering different ways to approach food and alcohol this season Plus so much more. Basically, I want to give you permission to be who you need to be this season and if something is not working for you then knowing it’s okay to say no I walk away from it. As always I hope deserves you and I wish you the best holiday season ever. X E Want to meet in real life?I’ll be taking my creating confidence masterclass globally!

I can’t tell you how many women I speak to that have shame around their trauma or lack of. This is something I wanted to address as its stopping us from connecting and from doing the inner work.

My love, I am so happy to share this episode with you. Andrea is one of my gorgeous clients in the Online Sistahood and she has a remarkable story that resonates with so many women around the world. Her bravery and her ability to gain strength from one of the hardest, scariest things she has had to do.

If you hang out on any social platform you may have seen tonnes of memes on Instagram lately with the  #fuckyoumercuryretrograde Tagline, but is it really serving you to blame retrograde tho? I know that what’s going on in the cosmos can have major effects on our planet and us and sometimes I believe we can allow ourselves to make things, mean things. In other words, we blame mercury retrograde or the full moon for why we do (or don’t do) something. Today’s episode is an invitation for you to ask yourself – are you being a creator? Or could you be living at the effect of your world? What’s really going on!? I hope it serves you darling and as always share your insights on Insta, tag me so I can share and keep the discussion going. With all my love, x E

Today is a very special episode because ya’ll are getting a sneaky seat at the Australian Women’s Day event I was lucky enough to speak at this year. If you couldn’t make the event, well you’re now going to feel like you were there. I love speaking at events. I love connecting with women in the flesh and asking them questions, inviting them to talk to the stranger next to them and get to the root of what’s holding them back. What’s stifling their creativity. What’s stopping them from showing up as the best version of themselves. Nothing is off-limits and there are no excuses for not doing the work.  I hope you get a lot out of this. This is a long ass episode, so settle in, but the vibe is cool because it feels like you’re there with us.X E

Para mí es muy importante que mi gente latina entiendan los mensajes que estoy enviando a las mujeres del mundo.En el episodio de hoy, hablo de mi vida y de cómo curé (sane) mi vida para poder hacer el trabajo que estoy haciendo hoy, que consiste en inspirar el potencial que tenemos todas.

Today’s episode is one that is near and dear to my heart because it is something that I struggled with for a very long time myself. I’m speaking about this controversial topic because it is something that I do not hear anyone talking about and I believe it is a major problem for mothers everywhere and we need to discuss it. As always I say it with all the love and respect in the world and I hope that if there is something in this episode that resonates with you, it helps you create positive change. With love.

There is immense power in you taking responsibility to for where you’re at sister.  The word is self Responsibility – Meaning your ability to respond, when you are able to respond to something you have the power to change it.  When you are pointing the finger outwards you remove your power and remove your ability to shift anything.  In today’s episode we go deep into what it looks like for you to become responsible, what it looks like to free yourself from blame in order to create the life you desire to experience on purpose.  So much love girl, X E

Today’s episode is short and sweet , like me. Whenever you tell yourself you aren’t “good enough” consider that there is a comparison going on there. “Good enough” compared to what? My friend, comparison is a killer and in this episode I offer you some actionable questions you can answer so you can pull yourself out of comparison. x E

I have a lot to say about money so consider this one of many money episodes. Today I am talking to you about the disempowering money beliefs so many of us have and what you can do to step into CREATOR mindset. x E

I recently had the pleasure of watching my bestie Angel Phoenix speak at a woman march that the divine Nic Rowan from Australia Woman’s Day created – this really opened my eyes to the work I am doing. Being confident right now is an emergency. Women need to wake up and reclaim their voices and power. Now is the time to RISE.

In today’s Life Lesson Series, I share about our miscarriage. As always I am very open about my life and experiences and I had the blessing of receiving some beautiful gifts in this experience and I want to share them with you in hopes that it may serve you or another woman who needs to hear it. Disclaimer *If you are out there and not ready to hear this please know it’s ok to choose a different topic until you feel ready. All my love x

This is one of the great lies we tell ourselves. I hear it time and time again, “I am too old to….” or “I am 35 so I should be….by now” Listen to me: This . does . not . serve . you! And it’s actually not true, this is a fear based, BS way to live and I want to invite you think a different way in todays episode. Enjoy darling x E*Disclaimer, I am not saying take your sweet ass time and don’t work it or go for your life, I am saying stop allowing the “I should have done ___ by now” bull crap run your mind. Take action and make sh*t happen cause you want to not from a place of fear or guilt.

Ya’ll I have the sweetest most beautiful soul of a husband. He is soft, kind, compassionate and caring. He is the YIN to my YANG and for a long time he has been teaching ME what it’s like to soften into the Feminine energy. There is a way however to BE with the Gentle-man and it’s not standing in your heavy masculine. We have done the dance many times and are finally finding our balance and its f*ckin beautiful. I wanted to share my journey being with my Gentle Man as I wish every woman had the opportunity to find a partner so loving and caring and Hamish is to me. Enjoy x E

Oh Ubud Bali, what a magical place. As I write this I am fresh off the plane from our 6 day life changing, transformational retreat. We had the honour of serving 10 women through the most powerful thing I have ever been a part of (and thats a lot to say as I have experienced a bit). In today’s episode I talk about the power of retreating and how it can be the most powerful things you ever experience. Being immersed, away from your usual habitat plus the collective energy, is a recipe for deep healing. Massive shout out to the gorgeous courageous souls who walked with us in Ubud. If you have the chance to get away and have a week to yourself do it.

Motherhood ya’ll! So tough and we know that sooo much changes once you become a mother. In today’s episode I share with you my journey in bringing my sexy back after having two kids. I have been really standing in owning my body, making an effort for myself when it comes to how I dress and look after my self. I hope that this episode helps you mama x E

This episode is for you ladies out there who feel like you may struggle being in the ‘feminine’ energy what does that mean? It means being soft, slow, in nature, gentle, more BE-ing less do-ing. I had to talk about this because I struggle with it. I have been a woman in masculine energy for so long and in today’s episode I share with you how it’s affected my relationship, my health and now what I am doing to find a better balance. The idea is to dance with both energies and I hope you get some take aways from the episode as I share some actions you can take if this resonates with you. So much love girl, x E

So what comes to mind when you think of the word EGO? Is it an arrogant, loud mouth, greedy, rude person? You may be surprised to find out that you have an EGO even if you don’t resonate with those words, and that your EGO is F’ing you big time. In todays episode I referenced Eckhart Tolle book a New Earth so please go and read this, it is a life changer. x E

I have an exciting announcement my loves and its time sensitive so make sure you head over to my website if you want in! I love you and am so grateful for you being here and listening to the podcast. x E

I love to keep it real and let you know where I’m currently at so that maybe it may help you wherever you are. This week the topic is rest and slowing down, something I have really sucked at. Enjoy my love x E

Hey! I have to say this podcast was meant to be out in April but better late then never (mom life ya’ll my bad). This one was too good not to publish as I really want you to start asking yourself this question: Am I trying to keep my problem? Sounds cray cray but I am for real, there are times where we may be doing this, (unconsciously of course) and its actually F’ing you over sista. So enjoy this one my love x E

My friends, this is one of those topics that I discuss with my clients in depth. The amount of things we do (or don’t do) because of this sneaky need to get approval from family is huge. In todays episode we go into why this is not serving you and how you can never really make anyone else happy. I hope it serves you sister x E

I get 6-7 messages a day from my community asking me about becoming a life coach and how I came to do this work. Although I know my story and the way I came into this work is unique to me, I do believe that this work is such a responsibility and honour to do. Becoming a Life Coach is not for everyone but if you feel called to do it nothing makes me happier. It is the most rewarding work in the world. In today’s episode, I reference a school that I highly recommend Brooke Castillo – The Life Coach School. Whatever you do please learn, grow and heal yourself first. Enjoy the episode, my dear! x E

In today’s Life Lesson Series I share with you the experience of losing my husband. I met Jeovanni when I was 16, he was my high school sweetheart and we had 7 years together before he passed away. We were married (in secret) at 19 and I was widowed at 23. Till this day, it has been the hardest thing I have ever been faced with. Today as I publish this podcast episode, its’ his 12 year death anniversary. It may seem hard to believe but I feel him with me more today than I ever did. Recording this episode was extremely healing. Thank you for allowing me to share so openly and so deeply. *I went very detailed into my experience so this may trigger or upset you if you are currently being faced with healing death.
