How Much Should You Share Online? (Authenticity vs Oversharing)

About this episode

In this episode, Erika Cramer discusses the balance between authenticity and oversharing online, providing insights on how to share your story effectively while maintaining credibility.

One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to showing up online is this: “How do I know if I’m being authentic… or if I’m oversharing?” Where is the line between vulnerability and trauma dumping? In this episode, I’m breaking down the balance between being raw and real while still protecting yourself and your credibility. Because here’s the truth: Authenticity builds connection. But not everything belongs on the internet. I share how I built my brand by documenting my process of becoming — from recording podcast episodes in my car while broke and exhausted with two kids, to building a global personal brand and loyal audience.
