I wanna ask you, do you think you are addicted to social media? Are you ALWAYS on your phone? 

Are you always scrolling and scrolling and never getting the things you want to do, done? 

Do you take your phone to BED with you? Is it the first thing you look at when you wake up in the morning?

This is not a podcast about social media being bad or negative - I built my whole business on social media and I LOVE it, okay? - but I want to share with you some knowledge I recently found out about HOW we are USING social media and what we need to do about it. 

I cover: 

• Why it’s not as simple as just ‘taking responsibility’ for being addicted to social media 
• The THREE things we need to become aware of so we can use social media the right way
• How to set a better example for the next generation and build HEALTHY habits with our phones! 

… and so much more

In this episode I dive into one of the most important tools for success—resourcefulness.

This is something that has completely changed my life and helped me go from surviving to thriving, both personally and professionally.

I share my own journey, from humble beginnings to building a seven-figure business, and the critical role that resourcefulness has played in every step of that journey.

Whether you’re feeling stuck or just looking for that push to take action, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you figure things out and create the success you want in your life.

It’s all about taking control, solving problems, and making progress—no matter where you start.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How resourcefulness can overcome a lack of resources
• Why figuring things out on your own is key to success
• The importance of taking imperfect action over waiting for perfection
• How to stop relying on others and start trusting yourself
• Why resilience and a problem-solving mindset are essential in business and life

Key Takeaways:

1. Resourcefulness is a Superpower: It’s not about what you have, it’s about what you can create with what you’ve got.
2. Action Beats Overthinking: You don’t need to have all the answers right now. Just start, and the path will become clearer as you go.
3. Become a Lifelong Learner: Whether it's through Google, YouTube, or mentorship, commit to finding solutions and leveling up.
4. Don’t Outsource Your Power: You have the power to figure it out, so stop waiting for someone else to solve your problems.
5. Messing Up is Progress: Every failure is a step toward success. If you’re willing to get back up every time, you’ll get to where you want to be.

I’m here to remind you that resourcefulness isn’t something you’re born with—it’s a skill you can cultivate. And once you master it, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.

How to Unlock Self-Reliance and Create the Life of Your Dreams

This episode is one you do not want to miss! I’ve got the one and only Maha Abouelenein joining me—a true powerhouse with a story that’s all about grit, growth, and going after what you want.

Maha's journey is insane. Born and raised in Minnesota, she started her career with Fortune 500 giant General Mills, where she crushed it in sports marketing, working with the Olympics, NFL, NASCAR, and more. But she didn’t stop there. She took a massive leap, moving to Egypt and the UAE, building a killer career in communications, and running her own firm, Digital & Savvy, with clients from top tech startups to global giants.

In this episode, we dive deep into her journey of self-reliance—going from the corporate world to building her own empire. Maha drops truth bombs about personal branding, resilience, and owning your story. We’re talking about how you can take charge of your life and build a career on your terms without waiting for anyone’s permission.

You’ll get a sneak peek into her upcoming book, 7 Rules of Self-Reliance, where she spills the tea on the mindset shifts that changed everything for her. Maha’s all about taking bold steps, shutting down self-doubt, and staying true to who you are, no matter what.

Here’s a taste of what’s coming up:

🔥 How self-reliance starts with trusting yourself—and why waiting for permission is killing your potential.

🔥 The 3 game-changing moves to build your personal brand and stand out in ANY industry.

🔥 The secret sauce to becoming indispensable in your career—hint: it’s not what you think.

🔥 Why networking and building strong relationships will unlock long-term success (Maha’s got stories for days on this one).

And that’s just the start. Maha’s insights will leave you buzzing with ideas and ready to level up your life.

Ready to dive in and claim your own space? Hit play Queen. You’ll want to listen with a notebook handy because the gems she drops are next level.

In this episode, I dive deep into the often-neglected emotion of sadness and why it's crucial to give ourselves permission to feel it fully.

Sometimes, we think we have to be happy, that we have to push through and keep a smile on, but the truth is—you’re allowed to feel sad. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to release the emotions that weigh on you, without judgment, and without needing a reason.

I remind you that sadness is not something to run from. In fact, embracing sadness can be healing.

I explore how grief, sadness, and allowing yourself time to cry can release the emotional burdens that, when bottled up, turn into a heavy armor around your heart. This armor may protect you from being hurt again, but it also blocks love, connection, and joy from coming in.

I share my own process of making space for sadness—whether it's crying in the car, screaming into a pillow, or sitting in stillness with my feelings. The act of releasing these emotions brings clarity, lightness, and a renewed sense of freedom.

Sadness is here to serve you, not to define you.

It’s just a moment. And after this moment of sadness, you’ll laugh again, feel joy again, and continue to move through life lighter and clearer.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s okay to be sad—don’t feel guilty for taking the time to grieve or feel your emotions.
• Sadness creates emotional clarity and releases the burdens we carry inside.
• Crying or releasing emotions helps prevent emotional constipation—bottling up feelings only leads to emotional outbursts at inappropriate times.
• Sadness doesn’t make you a sad or depressed person—it’s simply one of many emotions we feel.
• Giving yourself space to process sadness leads to lightness, clarity, and emotional healing.
• Embrace sadness without judgment, and understand that it’s part of the journey toward happiness, joy, and freedom.

• 00:10:00 Final thoughts: Making space in your calendar to release your emotions without judgment

It's that time of the year again where your boundaries will be tested.

How serious are you about your boundaries? If you feel like they need work, this episode is for you!

Originally recorded December 2021, this episode was too good not to share again (in case you missed it.)

I can't tell you how many people do things they dont want to do around the holidays.

Go to parties they don't want to be at.

Go to family functions they don't want to be at.

Buy things and spend money on things they don't truly care about.

Enough is enough my friend, this episode is your invitation to give yourself PERMISSION.

It's your life, and you get to do as you please with your time, especially this time of the year (and really anytime of the years.)

I hope this episode serves you. and Happy holidays to you and yours!

Too many women say they want more — but aren't moving like it. And the reason? Comfort.

In this episode, Erika Cramer — The Queen of Confidence — calls out a hard truth: comfort and growth don't coexist. If you've been playing it safe, waiting for the "right moment," or sitting on your dreams because things feel fine right now… this is your wake-up call.

There's always going to be a "hard." You just get to choose which hard you're willing to face.

You'll discover:
• The signs that you're too comfortable — and what they're really costing you
• Why comfort is the biggest silent killer of confidence and growth
• How to tell the difference between false safety and true fulfillment
• What it actually takes to shift out of "meh" energy and into your aligned life
• Why magic consistently happens just outside your comfort zone

If you've been waiting for things to change without making the moves — this episode is for you.

It’s November my friend!

The year is nearly over, can you believe that? I don’t know about you but this year has been WILD. So much change, so much growth, so many big things happening…it’s like we’ve all been sprinting after being on pause for two years, right? 

The end of the year is always a good time to stop for a second and think about where you’re at. Think about what your goals were for this year and if you’ve achieved them or not. 

And if not, then asking ourselves: What needs to change? What are the SYSTEMS, what are the STRUCTURES you need to set yourself up for a successful end of the year and a successful 2023? 

In this short and sweet solo episode, I dig into: 

• The two main perspectives I see in my clients at this time of year and how to think differently 
• A whole new way of looking at the end of the year (this might challenge you!)
• How to set yourself up for success in 2023 by taking action NOW! 

… and so much more
