427. Stop Faking Confidence: How to Build the Real Thing with Erika Cramer

Genuine confidence isn't about being perfect. In this episode we're joined by globally recognized confidence coach Erika Cramer. Having overcome trauma, foster care, and early widowhood, Erika empowers women worldwide. She helps them smash through their limitations and feel confidently in alignment with their work, community, and mission. Erika shares not only what she's learned about confidence, but what she's experienced in growing her own. It's not about doing it perfectly, and it's definitely not about pleasing other people. The key to confidence is trusting yourself and knowing who you are. In this episode, you will learn about: How long Erika studied confidence, and the definition she walked away with. What confidence actually looks like in real life (when it's done well). What tall poppy syndrome is and how this mindset impacts confidence. Why nothing is "too much" or "not enough" if it feels like it fits you. The tendency to downplay ourselves and how to get past it. Why "fake it 'til you make it" is definitely not the answer to confidence. Where confidence is breaking down for female founders (and what to do about it). What it means to be a wild woman: Being fully expressed and magnetic in who you are and who you want to be.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!
