  • I dare you to go repel & discust people - The truth about caring what others think
    May 11 2026
    👉🏽 Watch How To Build a Stand out Personal Brand Masterclass here: https://courses.thequeenofconfidence.com/offers/7UiNB2x9/checkout If You’re Scared of Being Judged, Watch This In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest things stopping women from building their brand, growing their business, speaking up online, and becoming fully expressed: The fear of being judged. After coaching women inside my recent personal branding masterclass, I noticed the same fear coming up again and again: “What if people judge me?” “What if people talk about me?” “What if I post and people don’t like me?” And honestly? They probably will. That’s part of visibility. That’s part of leadership. That’s part of doing meaningful work. In this conversation, we talk about: why criticism is inevitable why strangers’ opinions should not control your life how fear of rejection keeps women small the connection between confidence and self-expression why your mission must become bigger than your fear and how to stop hiding and fully own who you are If you’re tired of shrinking yourself because of what other people might think, this episode will hit deep. 👑 LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONFIDENCE CHRONICLES → Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MUxtupRLNGB8cuNC9mwXI → Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-confidence-chronicles/id1439434022 → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtf2VIsUYg-vkERa16r_VcFNz3Bt6kLI → All platforms: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/podcast/ 📖 GET ERIKA'S BOOKS → Becoming Magnetic (Penguin Random House, 2025) → Confidence Feels Like Shit (2020) Available here: https://shop.thequeenofconfidence.com/collections/book Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any audio book app 📩 GROW YOUR FANBASE — Learn the timeless skill that turned my 1,000 followers into a 7 figure global business → https://courses.thequeenofconfidence.com/offers/TKhTxM3n/checkout 🎤 BOOK ERIKA TO SPEAK → For keynotes, corporate events, and women's leadership conferences in Australia and the USA: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/speaking/ 📲 FOLLOW ERIKA → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/?hl=en → LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-queenconfidence/ → Website: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/about/ → TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequeenofconfidence 🙏🏽 ENJOYED THIS EPISODE?

  • The Comparison Trap - Stop Looking Outside of Yourself
    May 4 2026
    You're an artist. And artists don't look to the sidelines before they create. They don't check what everyone else is doing. They don't scroll for validation. They don't ask permission. They go inward. They tap into themselves. And they create from that place. In this episode, I break down why the algorithm isn't the answer. You are. If you've been feeling stressed, foggy, or like you're falling behind because you're not keeping up with every trend, strategy, or platform shift, this episode will bring you back home to yourself. Inside this episode: • Why consuming too much content is making you stressed and foggy • The dangerous trap of looking to other people for your answers • Why your sauce is forever and it's never out of style to be you • What happens when you try to bake a cake with 17 different recipes • Why scrolling when you're at a low point is the worst thing you can do • The comparison trap and fear mongering happening online right now • My meditation practices: driving, gym, and breath work • How to ask yourself the hard questions about your life • Why discernment is everything when you're building your brand If you don't know who you are, how can anyone else? Stop looking outward. Come back to you. You're a fucking artist.

  • Why You Keep Procrastinating (And What’s Actually Causing It)
    Apr 27 2026
    🎤 Why You Keep Procrastinating (And What’s Actually Causing It) You don’t have a motivation problem. You don’t have a discipline problem. You have an execution gap. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually causing your procrastination, especially when you have the idea, the desire, and the capability… but you’re still not moving. Because it’s not laziness. It’s what’s happening between idea → action. We get into: • Why the gap between thinking and doing is too long • How self-doubt and overthinking slow your execution • The impact of social media and AI on your clarity • Why consuming more is keeping you stuck • The role your environment and circle play • Why trying to figure everything out alone backfires • Where your time is actually going • The uncomfortable truth about who you may need to outgrow • How to start moving faster on the ideas that matter If you’ve been sitting on something you know you’re meant to do… This is your moment to wake up and move. 📲 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/Theconfidencequeen/ If this episode hit, screenshot it, tag me, and tell me what landed.

  • 3 Things I Learned Working With Kids That Every Parent Needs to Hear
    Apr 6 2026
    I spent an entire school term working as a counsellor at a primary school. 19 kids on my roster. And what I learned sitting with them changed how I think about what parents need to know right now. In this episode I break down the 3 biggest things I saw coming up over and over again: screen time and what it is really doing why so many kids have stopped talking to their parents and why what your child is doing online is not as safe as you think. I share what worked in my sessions, what I heard from parents and teachers, and how this experience has shaped what I want to do next. If you are a parent doing your best and still feeling like something is off with your kid, this episode is for you. 📚 Books referenced in this episode: → The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali Tsabary → Loving What Is by Byron Katie → No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Chapters 00:00:00 Three Things Parents Need to Know: Opening Insights from School Counseling 00:01:07 Welcome to the Confidence Chronicles and Episode 500 Celebration 00:02:58 Going Back to School: My Journey to a Bachelor's in Psychotherapy 00:05:30 Slowing Down to Speed Up: Structure and Systems in Business 00:07:15 Choosing the School: From Prison Work to Primary School Counseling 00:08:24 19 Kids and a Rotating Door: The Reality of School Counseling 00:10:35 Lesson One: Screen Time Is Destroying Our Kids and We Don't Know How to Stop It 00:11:55 The Vertical Video Slot Machine: Why Your Kids Need Phone Boundaries Now 00:13:58 Lesson Two: Communication Breakdown and Why Your Kid Won't Talk to You 00:15:19 The Family Meeting Rock: Creating a Culture of Communication at Home 00:16:42 Teaching Kids About Their Bodies and Strange Behavior 00:18:19 We're Not Really Strangers: Games That Build Family Connection 00:19:30 Lesson Three: Online Safety and the Roblox Problem Parents Don't See 00:23:01 Australia's Shocking Child Safety Statistics and Internet Dangers 00:23:58 Setting Boundaries: Being the Mom Who Checks the Chat 00:24:30 The 16-Year-Old Social Media Ban: Why Laws Won't Protect Your Kids 00:25:09 Teaching Life Skills: Mindset, Communication, and Emotional Intelligence 00:25:39 The Power of Just Being There: Why One Safe Adult Changes Everything 00:26:00 Abandonment Issues and Guilt: Processing My Own Childhood Wounds 00:26:38 How Kids Actually Want to Talk: Toys, Games, and Shoulder-to-Shoulder 00:27:31 Girls, Confidence, and Body Image: The Struggles No One Talks About 00:28:15 The Demand Is Overwhelming: Why Every School Needs a Permanent Counselor 00:28:36 High-Need Kids and Triage: Understanding Why Some Children Are Prioritized 00:29:06 From Prison Dreams to Kid Calling: Why This Placement Wasn't a Mistake 00:29:31 The Last Day Tears: Parents, Teachers, and Kids Saying Thank You 00:29:58 Did I Do Enough?

  • If Your Brand Feels Off, This Is Why
    Mar 30 2026
    If your brand isn't landing the way it should, the answer is probably not what you think it is, and changing your fonts, your colours, or your content strategy is not going to fix it. I have spent over a decade telling women not to give a shit what people think. And now I'm saying you need to care about how you're perceived. That is not a contradiction. In this episode I'm getting into the real reason your brand feels off, what it is actually reflecting back to you, and why the women who are getting the opportunities you want have dealt with something you might still be sitting on. This one is for the woman who is good at what she does, has done the work, and still can't figure out why it's not clicking out in the world. 👑 LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONFIDENCE CHRONICLES → Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MUxtupRLNGB8cuNC9mwXI → Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-confidence-chronicles/id1439434022 → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtf2VIsUYg-vkERa16r_VcFNz3Bt6kLI → All platforms: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/podcast/ 📖 GET ERIKA'S BOOKS → Becoming Magnetic (Penguin Random House, 2025) → Confidence Feels Like Shit (2020) Available here: https://shop.thequeenofconfidence.com/collections/book 📩 GROW YOUR FANBASE → https://courses.thequeenofconfidence.com/offers/TKhTxM3n/checkout 🎤 BOOK ERIKA TO SPEAK → https://thequeenofconfidence.com/speaking/ 📲 FOLLOW ERIKA → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/?hl=en → LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-queenconfidence/ → Website: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/about/ → TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequeenofconfidence 💬 ENJOYED THIS EPISODE?
