Description

In this episode, Erica sits down with actress and coach Talia Toms to talk about what burnout in the acting world actually looks like and why it might sound a lot like your life too. Talia spent years doing everything she was told, the classes, the coaches, the hustle, while not getting results. Her strategy didn't change. Her relationship with herself did. She shares what it took to stop performing her worth, how she went from spinning her wheels to booking consistently, and what she learned when she discovered she was a Human Design Projector. Talia Toms is an actress and life and career alignment coach who helps actors become Grounded and Unstoppable by learning to move through their career with self-trust instead of fear and desperation.

episode Shame and Self-Love artwork

Shame and Self-Love

It's rarely one moment. It's a hundred small ones, each time you didn't measure up to an expectation you thought someone had of you, until that becomes the story you tell about yourself. In this episode, Erica explores how shame quietly shapes our inner critic, how it fuels perfectionism, and how it keeps us small. She weaves together Brené Brown's research with the real stories of women in the Summer of Self-Love series, including a romance novelist whose creativity was crushed by one negative review, a woman whose inner critic nitpicked every meeting and every mirror, and a woman who played small for years rather than risk being seen failing. This is part of the ongoing Summer of Self-Love series exploring women's complicated relationships with self-love and self-criticism through the lens of Human Design.
