The Confidence Chronicles

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

My love, let me tell you something. 

During and after the pandemic, the statistics show that more women than EVER have started their own businesses. More women, especially women of color, are quitting their jobs and going after their dreams. Amazing, right? 

The thing is, a LOT of people who want to start their own business have this idea of how it’s going to be so easy and they’ll be on the beach with their laptop and make all this money and have all this free time…

BUT, I’m going to be really honest with you here and tell you what most people won’t - starting a business is NOT for everyone. 

I’m about to break down EXACTLY what it takes to start a business so that you can find out if it might be right for you. 

This week, I cover: 

• The FOUR qualities you need to have to start (and run) business
• The key questions you should be asking yourself if you are thinking of starting a business
• The one thing you should start doing RIGHT NOW if you’re even considering starting your own business

… and so much more

When was the last time you allowed yourself to ‘Think Big’? 

Those big, audacious crazy dreams and goals you have, you know the ones that even YOU think you’re crazy to have … the ones that make you “nerve-cited”?

Queen, when you want to create things you’ve never created before - you gotta embrace #FWOT and think about what YOU really want, big things start to happen in your life and in your business. 

So this week I’m inviting you to DREAM BIG, to step outside your comfort zone and think about what YOU really want.

I’m going to share with you: 

• What’s stopping you from thinking big right now.

Are you putting yourself on hold? 

Have you been procrastinating on your dreams, your big goals, that thing you keep on telling yourself you’ll get around to ‘one day’? 

Do you begin to make a plan and then say ‘I don’t have the time’? I always hear people say ‘Well you’ve got as many hours in your day as Beyonce’ and yes, we all do have the same hours in our day as Beyonce BUT what resources does she have? What has she sacrificed? What CHOICE did she or any of the other women who HAVE WHAT YOU WANT make?

It’s easy to keep saying one day, and I used to say this too … until I made the CHOICE, until I made the DECISION to go after what I wanted in life. To make my vision, my dreams a reality. 
I stopped saying to myself ‘one day’ and I made it happen. 
And you can too. 

In this ep I break down:

• Why most people DON’T get what they want
• What it takes to achieve YOUR goals in life and in business
• How to get out of your own way and start making it happen!!!  

… and so much more

Is there anything you’ve been wanting to do that you keep putting off? 

Maybe you’ve thought about doing it but the self doubt takes over and you put your dreams on the back burner once again? 

Maybe you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to go for your dreams?

In today’s episode I want to share a pivotal moment with you that completely changed my life (and the life of millions of women around the world) 

This week my youngest child is about to turn five and everything you see in my world right now, this business, the podcast, the movement that is The Queen of Confidence - all of that was born when my son Navah was born.

In a time where I was nursing a newborn and struggling to brush my teeth, I was building my Fempire… 

This episode is here to tell you that YOU and me and every single woman in the world can do hard things 👏🏽and if you want something there is NOTHING standing in your way and I’m going to tell you why. 

Throughout the ep, I dive into: 

• How this birth completely transformed me and my business 
• Going all in when I couldn’t even pay my electricity  
• The things I had to let go of to step into this new version of myself 

… and so much more
