<p>We all have those moments—the ones that make our stomach drop, our hands shake, and our brain scream, <em>What if I mess this up?!</em> Whether it’s stepping on stage, speaking up in a meeting, launching your business, or simply showing up for yourself in a bold way, fear can feel paralyzing.</p><p>But here’s the truth: <strong>This moment wouldn’t be here if you weren’t ready for it.</strong> You manifested this opportunity. You attracted it. Now it’s time to own it.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Play Me When</em>, I’m walking you through a powerful mindset shift to flip fear into excitement and step into service. Because when you stop making it about <em>you</em> and start focusing on <em>who you’re here to help</em>, everything changes.</p><h4><strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>Why fear and excitement feel the same in your body—and how to choose excitement.</strong></li><li><strong>The mindset shift that takes the pressure off you and puts the focus on impact.</strong></li><li><strong>How stepping into service transforms your nerves into confidence.</strong></li><li><strong>A simple reframe to stop the ‘What if I fail?’ spiral and step into ‘What if I change lives?’</strong></li></ul><br/><p>This is your moment.

<p>Real talk: Are you living your truth, or are you still <strong>hiding behind fear, perfectionism, and other people’s expectations?</strong></p><p>In today's episode, we’re getting real about <strong>authenticity, self-expression, and what it actually takes to build a magnetic, raving fan community.</strong> </p><p>Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, parent, or someone who wants more from life—this is for you.</p><p>Because the truth is <strong>many people spend their lives pretending.</strong> </p><p>Pretending they’re okay, pretending they don’t want more, pretending they’re not holding themselves back. </p><p>But what if the life you want is waiting on the other side of radical self-acceptance? </p><p>What if everything you desire comes from showing up as the fullest, most unapologetic version of YOU?</p><h3><strong>Tune in to hear:</strong></h3><p>🔥 <strong>The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we have to be perfect to be accepted.</strong> Real connection comes from vulnerability, not perfection.</p><p>🔥 <strong>Imposter syndrome isn’t about feeling like a fraud—it’s about NOT being who you really are.</strong> The real imposter is the version of you that plays small and hides.</p><p>🔥 <strong>You don’t need to "find" your voice—you need to stop suppressing it.</strong> Everything you need is already within you.</p><p>🔥 <strong>True authenticity isn’t about forcing yourself to be seen—it’s about doing the work to fully accept yourself.</strong> When you do that, you naturally attract the right people, opportunities, and success.</p><h3><strong>Ready to Level Up & Fully Step Into Who You Are?</strong></h3><p>If you’re done <strong>playing small, hiding, and holding back,</strong> then it’s time to take the next step.</p><p>👉🏽 <strong>Join me inside Next Level Your Life</strong>—my <strong>year-long</strong> coaching program where we go deep on confidence, authenticity, leadership, and personal power.</p><p>🚨 <strong>Limited launch offer happening NOW!

<h3><strong>Are You Actually Coachable?</strong></h3><p>You <em>say</em> you want change. You <em>say</em> you want to level up. You <em>say</em> you want to create a different reality.</p><p>But… are you actually <strong>coachable</strong>?</p><p>Because here’s the thing—most people aren’t. They want transformation <strong>without</strong> being challenged. They want results <strong>without</strong> shifting their mindset. They want coaching <strong>without</strong> being open to feedback.</p><p>And that’s the problem.</p><p>Being coachable means:</p><p>✅ Showing up with an <strong>empty cup</strong>—ready to learn, absorb, and take action.</p><p>✅ Dropping your <strong>ego</strong>—because if you <em>really</em> knew what you needed, you’d already have the result.</p><p>✅ Taking <strong>radical responsibility</strong>—instead of staying stuck in excuses and self-sabotage.</p><p>If you’ve been struggling to get to that <em>next level</em>, ask yourself:</p><p>👉🏽 Do I actually listen when I receive coaching?</p><p>👉🏽 Do I implement or do I just collect <em>more</em> knowledge?</p><p>👉🏽 Do I get defensive, make excuses, or shut down when given feedback?</p><p><strong>The hard truth?</strong> If you don’t have what you want yet, you don’t actually <em>know</em> what it takes—because if you did, you’d already have the result.</p><p>This is why I created <strong>Next Level Your Life</strong>—because real transformation requires more than just “knowing,” it requires <strong>doing.</strong></p><p>🔥 <strong>For a limited time, we have a special launch offer inside Next Level Your Life.</strong> If you’re ready to <strong>actually</strong> break through and become <strong>coachable, adaptable, and unstoppable</strong>, this is your moment.</p><p><strong>Join us here:</strong></p><p><a href="https://thequeenofconfidence.com/levelupyourlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thequeenofconfidence.com/levelupyourlife/</a></p><p>Because the next level of your life won’t happen by accident—it happens when you’re <strong>ready to be coached, challenged, and transformed.</strong></p>

<p>Ever feel like no matter what you do, something is keeping you stuck? You’re working hard, setting goals, doing all the things—but still, something feels off? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a <strong>sneak peek</strong> inside my new program, <strong>Next Level Your Life</strong>, where Hamish and I dive deep into <strong>how your environment shapes you</strong>—and how to break free from what’s holding you back.</p><p>This is just a small part of what we’ll be covering inside the program, but I had to share it with you. Because the truth is: <strong>it’s not you—it was your environment.</strong> The beliefs, habits, and limitations you absorbed as a child? They were a product of where and how you were raised. But as an adult, you now have the power to <strong>adjust, unlearn, and heal.</strong></p><p>If you’re ready to shift your mindset, take back control, and create an environment that <strong>supports</strong> your growth, this episode is for you.</p><h3><strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>How Your Childhood Shapes Your Reality</strong></li><li>The hidden ways your upbringing influences your mindset, confidence, and decisions today.</li><li>Why it’s <em>not</em> you—it was the environment you were raised in.</li><li><strong>Unlearning & Letting Go</strong></li><li>The beliefs and habits that are keeping you stuck (and how to rewire them).</li><li>Practical steps to shift your mindset and create a supportive, growth-focused environment.</li><li><strong>Building the Life You Want</strong></li><li>How to take control of your surroundings, relationships, and daily habits to support your next level.</li><li>Why self-awareness is the key to breaking patterns and stepping into your full potential.</li></ul><br/><h3><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></h3><p>✅ <em>You are not your past.</em> The environment you were raised in shaped you, but it doesn’t define you.</p><p>✅ <em>Awareness is everything.</em> Once you see the patterns, you can shift them.</p><p>✅ <em>Your environment matters.</em> Who and what you surround yourself with impacts your growth. Choose wisely.</p><h3><strong>Are You Ready to LEVEL UP!?</strong></h3><p>This episode is just a glimpse into what Hamish and I will are teaching inside <strong>Level Up Your Life</strong>—our transformational program designed to help you rewire your mindset, build confidence, and create lasting change. </p><p>This is where we’ll be guiding and supporting our clients through deep inner work to create real transformation.</p><p>👉🏽 <strong>Join us here:</strong> <a href="https://thequeenofconfidence.com/levelupyourlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thequeenofconfidence.com/levelupyourlife/</a></p>

You can decide <em>right now</em> that you’re ready to go for it.</p><p>In today’s episode, I dive into the importance of not waiting for a perfect date or fresh year to take action. Many of us tend to feel like the end of the year means it’s “too late,” or we assume we’ll get another shot at our dreams in the next calendar year. But the reality?

In this unapologetic episode, I dive into what really makes people want to connect with—and buy from—you.</p><p>When it comes to building a brand, it’s not about pushing products or services; it’s about letting people see the real you. I unpack why sharing your authentic self—the raw, vulnerable, and unpolished parts—is the key to building lasting relationships with your clients and community. People don’t buy programs, services, or events—they buy <em>you.</em> I explore how to foster this connection and let go of the ‘sales-first’ mentality.</p><p>Whether you're sharing the highs and lows, quirks, passions, or beliefs that make you who you are, embracing full transparency makes you magnetic. And when you build this kind of realness, you’re not just gaining clients—you’re creating lifetime fans who resonate with you and want to be part of your world.</p><h3>Key Takeaways:</h3><ul><li><strong>People Buy People</strong>: They care more about <em>who</em> you are than <em>what</em> you’re selling. Letting them see the real you builds connection and trust.</li><li><strong>Vulnerability as a Strength</strong>: Opening up about the unfiltered parts of your journey—your challenges, beliefs, even your quirks—draws people in.</li><li><strong>Create Real Relationships</strong>: Move beyond sales pitches. Be genuinely interested in others, and when it’s your turn, share your story authentically.</li><li><strong>Show Up Fully</strong>: Be yourself on all platforms. People who resonate with your true self will naturally be drawn to your brand, creating a genuine following.</li><li><strong>Connection Over Perfection</strong>: Perfection can be alienating.

<p>In this episode, I dive deep into the often-neglected emotion of sadness and why it's crucial to give ourselves permission to feel it fully. </p><p>Sometimes, we think we have to be happy, that we have to push through and keep a smile on, but the truth is—you’re allowed to feel sad. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to release the emotions that weigh on you, without judgment, and without needing a reason.</p><p>I remind you that sadness is not something to run from. In fact, embracing sadness can be healing. </p><p>I explore how grief, sadness, and allowing yourself time to cry can release the emotional burdens that, when bottled up, turn into a heavy armor around your heart. This armor may protect you from being hurt again, but it also blocks love, connection, and joy from coming in.</p><p>I share my own process of making space for sadness—whether it's crying in the car, screaming into a pillow, or sitting in stillness with my feelings. The act of releasing these emotions brings clarity, lightness, and a renewed sense of freedom. </p><p>Sadness is here to serve you, not to define you. </p><p>It’s just a moment. And after this moment of sadness, you’ll laugh again, feel joy again, and continue to move through life lighter and clearer.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>It’s okay to be sad—don’t feel guilty for taking the time to grieve or feel your emotions.</li><li>Sadness creates emotional clarity and releases the burdens we carry inside.</li><li>Crying or releasing emotions helps prevent emotional constipation—bottling up feelings only leads to emotional outbursts at inappropriate times.</li><li>Sadness doesn’t make you a sad or depressed person—it’s simply one of many emotions we feel.</li><li>Giving yourself space to process sadness leads to lightness, clarity, and emotional healing.</li><li>Embrace sadness without judgment, and understand that it’s part of the journey toward happiness, joy, and freedom.</li></ul><br/><h3><strong>Timestamps:</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>00:00</strong> – Introduction: Why sadness is an essential emotion to embrace</li><li><strong>01:16</strong> – Releasing emotions: Giving yourself permission to grieve and be sad</li><li><strong>02:50</strong> – Crying as healing: Why releasing tears is essential for your well-being</li><li><strong>04:04</strong> – Grieving for yourself: Making space for emotional release</li><li><strong>05:45</strong> – Embracing sadness: How this emotion helps create more room for joy and love</li><li><strong>07:30</strong> – The importance of emotional release: Avoiding emotional constipation and bottling up feelings</li><li><strong>10:00</strong> – Final thoughts: Making space in your calendar to release your emotions without judgment</li></ul><br/>

<p>Today’s episode is a little different, and I’m diving deep into a personal story that taught me some serious life lessons about intuition, self-worth, and protecting your energy. </p><p>I’m taking you back to a time when I almost got wrapped up in Puff Daddy’s world. Yep, you heard that right—P. Diddy.</p><p>But this isn’t just a story about a near-miss with fame. It’s a much bigger conversation about the way women are treated in the entertainment industry, the pressures we face to fit in, and the importance of listening to that inner voice that always knows what’s best for us. </p><p>In this episode, I share the moment I chose to walk away from what could have been a dangerous situation and how trusting my gut literally saved me from making a huge mistake.</p><p>I want to highlight the societal pressures that push women to compromise their dignity and safety for opportunities that seem too good to pass up. </p><p>We’ve all been there—feeling like we need to go along with things just to get ahead or be accepted. But this episode is a reminder that your self-worth is non-negotiable. </p><p><strong>You don’t owe anyone anything, and no amount of fame or validation is worth sacrificing your safety or your values.</strong></p><p>Throughout this episode, I get real about my experiences and why it’s so important for women to trust their intuition and stand firm in who they are. </p><p>I’m here to remind you that you deserve to navigate your life with confidence, knowing your worth and setting boundaries that protect your energy.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Trusting your intuition can protect you from dangerous situations and unwanted advances.</li><li>Self-worth and confidence are essential for navigating challenges and making empowered choices.</li><li>It’s important to listen to your gut when faced with discomfort, especially in high-pressure environments.</li><li>Women often face societal pressures that undermine their self-respect and boundaries.</li><li>Building resilience from past experiences can strengthen your intuition and decision-making.</li><li>Having clear personal boundaries is crucial, especially in the modeling and entertainment industries.</li></ul><br/><h3><br></h3><h3><strong>Connect with me:</strong></h3><ul><li>Follow Erika on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thequeenofconfidence</a></li><li>AND If you want to get the private podcast you can pre-order my book here and get your bonuses https://thequeenofconfidence.com/becomingmagneticbook/</li></ul><br/>

<p>In this episode, I’m diving into something I’m super passionate about—maintaining high personal standards and the values that drive them. </p><p>It’s not just about how others treat us; it’s about how we treat ourselves. I’ll be sharing how having my own fucking high standards has guided me in everything I do, from my relationships to my career.</p><p>Back in 2012, I went through a business program that drilled this lesson into me, and let me tell you, it completely changed how I approach my life.</p><p>But real talk: while I’ve nailed having high standards in my career, I’ve struggled with holding myself to those same standards in my personal health and wellness. It’s been an ongoing journey, and I’m still figuring it out. </p><p>In this episode I’ll be talking about the discipline, systems, and self-respect it takes to level up in this area.</p><p>Ultimately, it’s about building self-trust and confidence by keeping promises to yourself, because when you do that, your self-worth and self-respect go through the roof.</p><p>Takeaways:</p><ul><li> High standards are about personal values and virtues, not just external expectations from others. </li><li> Disciplined actions build self-trust, which reinforces self-confidence and ultimately self-worth. </li><li> Identify areas in life where discipline is lacking and focus on improving them systematically. </li><li> Your self-worth is influenced by how well you keep your word to yourself. </li><li> Boundaries are crucial for maintaining high standards and ensuring personal discipline. </li><li> Achieving high standards requires clarity about personal values and consistent self-reflection. </li></ul><br/><p>If you’re serious about raising your standards and taking action toward your goals, tune into this episode and get inspired to make the changes you know you need.</p><p>🔥 Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who needs that extra push. </p>

But this question brought so many women to tears, realising how long it had been since they’d actually stopped to ask themselves that.</p><p>Hamish and I worked with the women at this event through breathwork, journaling, and deep reflection, and it got me thinking—when was the last time you checked in with yourself? Are you really living a life that makes you happy, or are you just going through the motions?</p><p>So in today's episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to <em>truly</em> go inside and figure out if the path you’re on is still the one you want to walk. </p><p>I’ll share some powerful insights from the event and my personal experience, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, this one’s for you.</p><p>Let’s get real and ask the hard questions, together. </p><p>If you're ready to reconnect with what truly matters, this episode is for you.</p>
