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 peopl...

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. I...

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 wh...

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 no...

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 y...

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 tha...

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 al...

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...

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. Th...

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...

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...

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 the...

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 impo...

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. Maybe you just need to have a con...

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 ...

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...

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 th...

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. Tru...

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 proble...

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!

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...

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.
