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 m...

In 2018, my husband Hamish and I were broke. Some weeks we couldn’t afford the basics, let alone little luxuries. I even found myself scrounging around the backseat of my car, trying to get enough change to buy a loaf of bread. It was in the shower one afternoon when I had an epiphany – it was the ‘aha’ moment that led to me finally pursuing my dream of becoming a confidence coach. So I started with what I had … the fire and passion to show up and create the community and connections I desired. ...

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.

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? D...

Ok this is a big one for me. Yes Erika “the Queen of CONFIDENCE” lost her confidence?! Yup. I did. Hard! I recently got Covid and damn…COVID took my confidence. I mean, I completely lost my confidence. I even lost my sense of self. I got so scared, anxious, and depressed. It was truly a great challenge for me and I literally felt like a prisoner of my mind. Until I reached the point when I realized that, sometimes, people need to surrender and let go. You wanna know how I got through it? If so, ...

And since none of us saw this coming, we all had very different experiences and were impacted in many different ways.

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 c...

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 f...

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 b...

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, unfamili...

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...
