Happy Birthday To Me - Lessons Learned f...

Erika Cramer
About this episode

It’s my birthday, baby! I’m officially 42, and today I’m reflecting on what the last year has taught me. Because let me tell you, 41 was no joke.

This episode is raw. It's real. It’s like flipping through the pages of my personal journal and letting you see it all: growth, grit, grief, and gratitude.

Inside, I’m sharing what it felt like to:

💥 Get everything I ever wanted… all at once

💸 Re-learn powerful lessons about money, investing, and trust

👀 See who was really in my corner and who had to go

💻 Build a business while holding the emotional weight of family illness and team burnout

💔 Experience deep motherhood shifts as my boys started growing up right before my eyes

🧘🏽‍♀️ Recommit to nervous system work, breathwork, therapy, and learning how to slow the hell down

🌍 And step boldly into the next chapter of audacity, amplification, and bigger impact

This one’s for the women doing hard things behind the scenes. For the mothers holding it all. For the visionaries building in silence. And for anyone who feels like life is speeding up and you’re trying to stay present in the middle of it.
