The Confidence Chronicles

If you’re out there going through some trouble regarding work during this long ass pandemic that’s just never-ending it seems, this is an episode that you’ll want to tune into.So many businesses have been forced to close and many jobs have been lost. If you are someone that has lost their job, I feel for you and I want to arm you with some steps that you can take to turn your situation around.Firstly, you got to get your money sorted right? Whatever it takes. Apply for welfare, jobseeker, jobkeeper and any government funding you can. There’s also small business grants and other grants that you can look into. Otherwise, if you’re not able to pay your bills you might need to get a non-sexy job that gets you over the line for now. Work at a gas station, look for freelance work online, get onto Fiverr - whatever it takes to get your money sorted. Then you need to get out of the headspace of “I can’t”. This is a very easy place for your mind to live right now. I can’t work, I can’t exercise the way I’d like to, I can’t leave my house. Although these may be true for you, it’s not healthy to live in that mind. Instead, focus on what you CAN do. You can rejig your resume, you can get a job you don’t love for right now, you can spend more time with your kids. You can really think about where your life was heading, and where you need to pivot. I’ve got a lot of tips to share with you today and I hope it helps you feel armed with some positive action.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course👑 Want to request a podcast?

I'm writing my first book right now and the journey I am on with this is incredible. I am going deep into my childhood to try and understand the timelines of so many things that I can't really remember. I didn't initially think I would be including a lot of my story in this book but I'm realising how important it is to share as much as I can.As I've gone back through the memories that I have of my childhood, I've been realising how much is missing. I don't know timelines, I don't know ages and I really wanted to do some digging to see if I could join some of the dots for my book.So I started Googling the social worker I had as a child. I remembered her first name and where I was during that time, but that's about it. Sure enough, her name came up and the minute I saw her last name, so many emotions came flooding in.This social worker still works in the same place. I was able to contact her and leave a voicemail. It was incredible. Again, as I heard her voice on her voicemail more emotions came flooding in. I sobbed and sobbed after I left her a message.I didn't expect her to remember me. I didn't expect her to email me back, but she did. And again, a flood of emotions washed over me.So I wanted to share this with you today to let you know that healing is not linear. I have done years and years of work on myself and I have processed so much trauma. I have a wonderful life, a gorgeous family and everything I need. But it doesn't mean that my healing journey is over. The journey will never e over. There will always be things to work through, emotions to process and that is okay.Allow yourself to feel your feelings and know that you will work through them.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course👑 Want to request a podcast?

Today is a very, very special episode. As you know, I like to share the stories of my students in the Sistahood. Well, this particular student is going through quite a remarkable journey and was eager to share it with you all. Riley started his journey as a woman, and is now going through the experience of transitioning into a transgender man. He joined the Sistahood and has been doing such incredible work on himself. I've found him to be so inspiring, so honest and so willing to be vulnerable. His journey has been difficult and I want to acknowledge him for really doing the work and seeing the results.As you'll hear Riley speak about, since joining the Sistahood he has experienced a community connection and safe space to be able to share his feelings, develop self confidence and drastically improve his self confidence.

If you've been following me for awhile and know my story, you'll know that my childhood was hectic and through this time I really rejected spirituality and religion for many reasons that I go into during this episode. I didn't believe in anything. I thought religion was terrible. I wasn't spiritual and life was just full on all of the time. I was always fighting, always angry and always cautious of anything spiritual.Then I met Hamish. Now anyone who knows my husband or follows him on social media will know he's a spiritual guy. He does shamanic work, he grew up in a very Catholic household and Hamish has always been intrigued by different religions and has studied many of them. When I met him, he started to break down some of these blocks I had around spirituality and what I'd made it mean to me up until that point. In this episode today I walk you through my journey with spirituality and where I have landed today with it all.Some of the books that helped me with my spiritual journey:Wayne Dyer - Theres a Spiritual Solution to Every Problemhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20972.There_s_a_Spiritual_Solution_to_Every_ProblemWayne Dyer - Change your thoughts change your life Deepak Chopra - The Book of Secrets Deepak Chopra - 7 Spiritual Laws of Success Joe Dispenza - The Placebo Affect Movies:What the bleep do we know - Down the Rabbit hole - https://whatthebleep.com/down-the-rabbit-hole/The Shift - Wayne Dyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SnWOTDykAc&t=599sThrive - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEV5AFFcZ-sConnect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course👑 Want to request a podcast?

I need you to take a minute with me here to delve into this topic. How other people act, react, think, feel and speak is out of your control. What they believe, their life circumstances, what they've seen is completely unique to them and as a result of their experiences, people will behave according to what they believe to be true. You may not agree with them, but you don't have to be an asshole. You don't have to sit there judging them or assuming who they are based on something completely surface level. You have a choice in these moments to either be a dick, or just focus on yourself. When we're divided as a community we suffer, we fight, shit doesn't get solved. When we stand together and BE KIND is where the real magic happens.So before you judge someone in future, instead just try to come from a place of compassion and be a good human.

Y'all know there's a lot going on right now. Whether you're in lockdown or not. It doesn't matter where you are, we all know that 2020 is a lot. It's heavy and we all recognise it. But I'm not here to tell you that it's heavy. You already know that because we're getting blasted with images, stories, videos all over our social media platforms. And if you let all that in, if you let yourself go down a rabbit hole of all the bad shit that's happening right now, you'll start to feel really heavy.So instead of focusing on all the things that are happening out there that are out of your control, this is my invitation for you to come back to yourself. Pay attention to your immediate surroundings. Pay attention to how you're feeling, thinking, behaving and whether you're serving your own needs and the needs of those around you. If you're doing your part, if you're showing up for yourself, then you're able to show up for others. It's that simple. Don't get yourself bogged down thinking about all the bad shit that's happening, just come back in and work on what you need. Now I'm not saying don't support the causes that you want to support, that's not it at all. All I'm saying is, focus on what you can control right now and take a fucking breath ya'll. 2020 is a marathon not a sprint and you need to pace yourself. Compassion fatigue is real and if you're getting overwhelmed, that's not going to help anybody.I love you. I support you. I'm with you. Join the Sistahood and feel supported by a community of women that are doing such amazing work. I'm so proud of y'all.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood Learn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course👑 Want to request a podcast?
