Confidence—it’s a word thrown around often, but what does it truly mean? In the latest Poolside Perspectives podcast, Ash Hartney sits down with Erika Cramer, the Queen of Confidence, for an unfiltered conversation on overcoming self-doubt and stepping into your power.
Erika’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. Once struggling with self-worth, she now inspires women globally through her books, workshops, and coaching. Here are the top three lessons from this must-listen episode:
-
Confidence is a Practice, Not a Destination
Erika emphasises that confidence isn’t something you achieve overnight. It’s built through embracing challenges, taking risks, and failing forward. Every stumble is an opportunity to grow stronger. -
Trust Yourself to Take Action
Did you know the root of confidence is self-trust? Erika shares how breaking promises to yourself—like hitting snooze on your morning alarm—erodes confidence. Instead, practice keeping commitments to rebuild trust in yourself. -
Radical Responsibility Changes Everything
Taking ownership of your actions and responses gives you the power to rewrite your narrative. Erika explains how this mindset shift helped her heal from past traumas and build the life she loves today.
Whether you’re a mum juggling a business or a professional striving for more, Erika’s insights will resonate. She reminds us that confidence grows outside our comfort zone, so don’t be afraid to take risks, fall down, and get back up.
