    The Biggest Mistakes When Building A Personal Brand (And What to Do Instead)

    Today I’m breaking down the top mistakes I see women make when they’re trying to build a personal brand… and why it’s keeping them broke, invisible, and burnt out. Real talk, too many of us are out here trying to build fame, not Business foundations. If you’re: Posting on social media but still not making moneyTrying to go viral instead of going deepCopying what everyone else is doing because you haven’t found your secret saucePlaying small, overthinking, and shrinking around your goals… Then THIS is the truth you need in your ears today. Because the real problem isn’t your content, it’s your clarity... It’s your confidence. It’s the missing strategy that turns followers into clients and visibility into income. I’ll also share how we do it differently inside The Queen’s Table: the framework I use in my program to help women build magnetic brands, powerful business backends, and unshakeable identities. 🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode:The #1 reason your content isn’t convertingHow vanilla branding is killing your credibilityThe identity shift you MUST make to become the go-to woman in your spaceWhat your “secret sauce” really is and how to use it to stand outHow confidence (not just content) is your biggest brand asset 🔥 Want to go deeper?If this episode called you out, in the best way then here’s how to take action: ♟️ Apply for The Queen’s Table ™️ Build a 7-figure personal brand with strategy, presence, and power. 🖤 Apply here: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/ 📩 Join my list or email me erika@thequeenofconfidence.com to reserve your seat in my upcoming masterclass: How to Build a 7-Figure Personal Brand (Even If No One Knows Who You Are Yet) We’re talking magnetic marketing, money-making offers and how to build a 7-figure personal branding.

    I lost my Instagram... here's what it taught me

    YO! I lost my Instagram... and finally got it back (thank goodness) Here's what it taught me. I’ve spent years building my audience, pouring into my community, and showing up consistently on Instagram… (a decade to be exact, where my 2015 Queens at?) And then, one day, it was gone. In this episode, I’m sharing what really happened when I lost access to my Instagram account and the truth about what it brought up for me (plus how I got it back in case it helps) If you’ve ever felt like your identity, your business or your worth was tied to your social media presence, this one’s for you. Inside the episode, I unpack: The moment I realized I was locked out and what I did next (and what I was "suspended" for will blow your mindThe deeper identity unraveling that came with losing “my place” onlineWhat I learned about resilience, ego, and controlWhy your business must be bigger than your InstagramHow I’m rebuilding and what’s changed in how I show up now This episode is a raw one. A reminder that who you are isn’t a platform. And that you can lose the thing and still be the thing. 🚨 OKAY so hold up before you go - please help a sister out and be sure you sign up to my email list. I can't be losing you (just incase) I only share good shit and it's where all the offers, special events and personal notes from me come. 👉🏽 You can join me here: https://erika-cramer.mykajabi.com/resubscribe And tag me @thequeenofconfidence https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence (yes, now that I’m back!)—I’d love to hear what landed Queen.

    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.

  4. Do you Struggle To Be Quiet?

    Do you Struggle To Be Quiet?

    Most people can’t sit in silence. They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting. But what if the real magic happens in the stillness? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, I’ve come to understand that quiet isn’t empty, it’s full of truth. If you’re the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesn’t know how to “do nothing” without guilt… this one is for you. Let’s talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more. We’re diving into: Why some of us fear silenceHow stillness helps you meet yourselfWhat we’re really running from when we stay “busy”The truth about transformation and space This one’s a reset. Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet. 🌀 Want to go deeper?

    The Truth Behind Business Failure with Hamish Cramer

    We all hear about the success stories, the case studies, the women who made 7 figures in 5 minutes, but what about the ones who dont make it? The 80% of women who stay small, don't make money, don't breakthrough? What about them? Today we're talking about the clients you don't hear about and why they are struggling.

I brought my husband and business partner Hamish on the mic with me for this one, and together we’re breaking down what’s really behind business failure (and it’s not what you think). We talk about: Why business is always personalThe emotional and mindset blocks sabotaging your growthHow trauma, people-pleasing, overthinking, and perfectionism play out in your strategyWhat it actually takes to build a successful business from the inside outHow we alchemized our pain and past into our superpower—and how you can too If you’re second-guessing, playing small, undercharging, overdelivering, hiding on social, or holding yourself back, this one is for you.
