Erika Cramer calls herself the 'Queen of Confidence', and spends her days empowering women to take control of their lives through her books, podcasts, coaching and courses. But behind Erika's infectious warmth and energy are years of struggle and heartache. 

Erika grew up in the US and endured a traumatic childhood, navigating the brutal foster care system, her mother's mental illness, sexual abuse, and abandonment. 

In her adult years, she lost her husband in a tragic car accident and hit rock bottom. In this important conversation, she shares how she had to dig deep to find the strength and resilience to turn her life around, and is using her story to help others.
