Erika Cramer walked into her business with $150K in debt, a husband who didn't believe in her, a 4-month-old on her breast, and a 2-year-old running wild.

She built a global empire anyway.

Twice TEDx speaker. Bestselling author. Over 7,000 women coached across 60 countries. And one of the most genuinely unfiltered humans to ever sit across from Kady on this show.

This episode goes everywhere - debt and shame, hustle culture and burnout, team dynamics and people pleasing, content strategy and motherhood, and what it actually takes to build something real when everything in your physical reality is telling you you're not there yet.

Inside this episode:

• Why Erika put $150K on credit cards to invest in herself - and why she'd do it again tomorrow
• The difference between debt with shame and debt as a deliberate stepping stone
• Why most people don't move until one of the "four Ds" hits - and what to do if you're not willing to wait that long
• The difference between scrappy and desperate - and how to know which one you're being
• Why a $60 million business owner was taking home $50K because she couldn't fire anyone (hello, high school trauma)
• The personal work that shows up in your team, your hires, and every difficult conversation you avoid
