đŸ«Ł I'm Scared, The Truth About Taking Ri...

Erika Cramer
About this episode

Let’s get real...

This episode is not the highlight reel. It’s the truth behind the scenes of building a big vision, taking massive risks, and doing scary sh*t even when there’s no guarantee it’ll work.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about what’s really been going on behind the Becoming Magnetic U.S. book tour, the Miami mastermind, and all the big moves we’re making. Spoiler alert: it’s not always glamorous. It’s vulnerable. It’s messy. It’s scary.

I’m sharing the stress, the doubt, the fear of “what if no one comes”
 and how I’m moving through it all with self-trust, belief, and vision.

If you're building something big, if you're doubting yourself, if you're in the thick of the “WTF am I doing?” season, this episode is for you.

You’ll hear:

  • The honest reality of taking risks in business (especially when you're the face of it)
  • Why confidence is rooted in self-trust
  • What to do when doubt creeps in and the vision feels shaky
  • How I ground myself back into belief and possibility
  • Why you need to show up before you feel ready

This is for every woman who's ever tried to play it safe to avoid looking stupid—I'm here to remind you: courage comes first, confidence follows.
