Play Me When… You’re Scared to Speak & D...

Erika Cramer
About this episode

We all have those moments—the ones that make our stomach drop, our hands shake, and our brain scream, What if I mess this up?! 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.

But here’s the truth: This moment wouldn’t be here if you weren’t ready for it. You manifested this opportunity. You attracted it. Now it’s time to own it.

In this episode of Play Me When, 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 you and start focusing on who you’re here to help, everything changes.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why fear and excitement feel the same in your body—and how to choose excitement.
  • The mindset shift that takes the pressure off you and puts the focus on impact.
  • How stepping into service transforms your nerves into confidence.
  • A simple reframe to stop the ‘What if I fail?’ spiral and step into ‘What if I change lives?’

This is your moment. It’s time to rise. Hit play, take a deep breath, and go own that stage. 🚀
