The Confidence Chronicles

To create is imperative when it comes to practicing confidence, besides the other five C’s discussed in the previous chapters of this audiobook.  It is the step that will truly move you towards achieving your goals and you become resourceful and innovative.  So when you create, you look for effective ways to make things happen. It means that you get to create the opportunity, solution, and a way t...

Courage is crucial in creating your confidence. And it also goes hand in hand with choice. It means that the moment you make an important decision in life, it needs a lot of courage to do so.  But it doesn't come to you unless you actually do the thing you are most scared of.  In fact, that’s what defines the word courage. It makes you feel nervous and freaked out, but you still take the move no m...

Before you live a life with confidence, you need to acknowledge the fact that you have choices.  You have the choice to do what you want or not do what you don’t want.  But the big question is: What kind of choices are you making?  Do they help empower you to step out of your comfort zone and build the life you truly desire or do they keep you in fear, avoiding the opportunities you've dreamed of?...

I can imagine that you know that the road to being confident is not easy.  It’s not about being beautiful with shiny red lips and stilettos while walking across the room and all eyes are on you. It’s not about getting all of the attention from the people around you.  It’s way more than that. In fact, being confident doesn’t necessarily require you to be good-looking, bold, loud, or outgoing.  True...

I’ve met and worked with so many women over the years who have spent their entire lives being worried about what other people think of them. And for a very long time, I was one of them. There’s nothing wrong when you care what other people think of you because it’s what most human beings do and it's perfectly normal. But the big problem is when you allow their opinions to penetrate your mind and h...

“I can do this…..Everything is fine….I am totally ok…” Any of this familiar? To tell you the truth, this was definitely my reality for many, many years.  I only found out that it had something to do with creating a confident mindset.  It means that you can choose how you want to react to a particular situation. It’s because your thoughts will create your feelings and that will have a great impact...

I'm so obsessed with doing the workaround transformation. My whole life has been a perfect example of that.  The woman I was many years ago is truly unrecognizable compared to the Erika of today. That’s why I want to share with you a little bit of my story because I may know what you’re going through right now… I know what it's like to doubt yourself and feel like you're not good enough. It’s also...

Being confident requires so much hard work.  And the journey to get there is an absolute rite of passage that knows no boundaries when it comes to feeling embarrassment, shame, discomfort, fear, and self-doubt. You name it!  But when you create your true confidence, you are able to get into a space where you keep a hundred percent of your power to choose what you believe, how you feel, and how you...

Can you believe it? Few days until Christmas.  It's a different holiday season this year, no matter where you are in the world, I think we've all been impacted by the pandemic and what's going on.  Here in Australia, it's pretty hectic because things are opening up. Everybody's going to be hanging out, shopping and doing all the things but for us this year, I feel like the more this goes down, the...

Shout out to all you women out there pursuing your business.. even if your partner thinks it’s just a hobby! When I first started my business, my husband didn’t believe I could do what I’m doing now.  It wasn’t because he didn’t believe in ME. It was because we had two kids and he knew how risky it would be to start a new business. If you’re in the same boat, my bet is you’re feeling frustrated, l...

Are you investing in yourself?  I don’t mean buying handbags and getting your nails done. I mean, are you investing in your mindset, your behaviour, and your thinking?

It’s costing you time, money, and above all, happiness.  If I didn’t spend money investing in myself to work through my shit, I wou...

I’m currently throwing myself into Gabor Mate’s training to delve deeper into myself and find my Aha moments.  Today was a big one.  When I was five years old, I would visit my Mum in a psychiatric hospital. I was forever looking around and observing ways the staff could improve the way they treated patients and my Mum.  Even as a little kid I had an attitude - even more than I have now. I was con...

We’re in lockdown in Melbourne. Again.  Is it a pain in the ass? Yes.  Am I gonna stay in the problem? Hell no. Because I’ve conditioned myself to become solution focussed.  It got me thinking about how when shit hits the fan, how do you respond? Are you focussing on the problems and the challenges in your life or are you searching for the opportunities and solutions? I thought this would be a goo...

So you know you’ve got some areas in your life that you need to deal with? (Don’t we all!) But are you feeling overwhelmed just thinking about it? I have a lot of women tell me they don’t know where to start when doing the work.  It’s all too terrifying to face and they're worried about what they may find buried beneath the surface. But what happens if you decide NOT to start the inner work? A lot...

I’m talking about women supporting women today. And I mean ALL women.  So what does that mean? What does that look like for you?

The women who are mean? What about the women who...
