From the woman who used to stutter when speaking in front of others to the woman who now facilitates masterminds, workshops, and speaks in front of an audience. A woman who used to have a victim mentality to now having a can-do attitude. A woman who had always been too hard of herself, characterized as a perfectionist, overachiever, and with high expectations. To the gentle, self-loving, action taker, and learn as she goes attitude. She is an enthusiast when it comes to confidence and had worked on becoming a confidence mentor for her community and the people around her. Ernie's goal is to broaden her ability to help others. As she saw first-hand that personal growth must be intentional yet not always available to others.
