❓ Are you too Comfortable?

Erika Cramer
About this episode

Are You Too Comfortable?

Too many women say they want more, but aren’t moving like it.

In this episode, I’m calling out a hard truth:

Comfort and growth don’t coexist.

And if you’ve been playing it safe, waiting for the “right moment,” or sitting on your dreams because things feel fine... this episode is your wake-up call.

Whether it’s business, relationships, or your personal power, there’s always going to be a hard.

You just get to choose which hard you’re willing to face.

Inside this fire episode, I’m unpacking:

  • Why comfort can be the biggest killer of your confidence
  • How to know if you’re hiding behind “I’m fine”
  • The difference between false safety vs true fulfillment
  • And what it actually takes to shift into a life that’s aligned, alive, and worth showing up for

If you’ve been stuck in “meh” energy or waiting for things to change without making the moves, you need to hear this.

📣 If you're ready to stop sitting on your dreams and start moving with power…
