On this episode I share my thoughts on the eternal dilemma of an ambitious woman: the chicken or the egg - the constant grind vs. balance!
I see so many driven women going so hard and non-stop to the point where they lose the purpose of that drive. They forget that we spend 80% of the time on the journey and results are short lived.
On this episode you will learn:
- the necessary state of being for your top performance
- why you need to put fear-mentality behind
- how serving from the low-energy place will never deliver the results you want
And of course, I will touch more on this topic at the iStartFirst Summit on November 16, so if you haven't bought your tickets yet - do it here:

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a multimillion dollar company? Wonder no more, as Erika Feinberg dives into the raw and real of taking chances to "just making that call"! She has built multiple companies to over 9 figures and consulted many business owners to elevate their game to the top (including yours truly).
What's in it for you? She's one of the most raw humans that I know who doesn't hold back, apologizes when it's too much and encourages everyone to "just be themselves"!
In this episode you will learn:
- why picking up the phone to ask is #1 rule for success
- why doing life for you is how you change the game

Today we are talking about my favorite F word, nope it's not "failure." It's something that drives you to avoid failure, something that is a lot deeper and a basic human emotion: it's Fear.
You see you are not avoiding doing things because you might possibly fail - you are avoiding them because you are AFRAID: to fail, to be judged, to be ridiculed and to be disappointed.
In this episode I'm sharing my best hands on "how to"s:
- how to overcome fear
- how the 90-sec rule guarantees results (based on the research)
- how you can be afraid and do it anyway
And yes, I share a lot more resources at the #iStartFirst Summit in Phoenix AZ, so if you don't have a ticket yet, snag it here:

In this episode, Jordie Reid and I are busting the myth that you need anyone's permission or "title" to create from your purpose! Jordie learned this first hand by becoming an independent model and working with incredible photographers and brands without being directed by anyone's rules.
You will learn:
- strategies for overcoming your anxiety, fears and doubts and creating from the heart
