How the Right Circle of Women Can Change Your Life (with Neda Hovaizi)

Have you ever looked around at the women in your life and wondered why you feel like you have to make yourself smaller to belong? My gorgeous friend Neda Hovaizi knows that feeling. Before she created Fab Fierce Females, Neda was an ambitious woman with huge ideas who found herself feeling misunderstood by the women around her. She started questioning herself. Then the invitations stopped coming. Eventually, she realised something: **She wasn't the problem. She was in the wrong circle.** Instead of waiting for the women she admired to invite her to their table, Neda decided to invite them to hers. That decision eventually grew into Fab Fierce Females, FFFCon and a community of women who don't feel threatened by another woman's ambition, they fan each other's flames. ## 🎟️ JOIN ME AT FFFCON 2026 IN BOSTON I’m heading back to Boston to speak at **FFFCon 2026**, happening September 25–26 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge. Come spend two incredible days with us surrounded by ambitious women, powerful conversations, leadership, connection and community. **SAVE $100 on GA or VIP tickets with code: ERIKAFFF** 👉🏽 Get your tickets here: https://fffcon.fabfiercefemales.com/ ### In this episode: • what it feels like to outgrow friendships and realise you need a different circle • how Neda built three businesses by following the ideas she couldn't ignore • why being surrounded by women who aren't intimidated by your greatness matters • the deeper story of family, grief and legacy behind the work Neda is building We also get into something I LOVE about Neda: she doesn't wait until she has the entire roadmap before she moves. From opening her own dental practice just one year after dental school, to launching a med spa, building Fab Fierce Females and confronting her fear of public speaking, Neda's story is such a beautiful example of what can happen when you trust the vision enough to figure the rest out along the way. If you’ve been questioning whether you’re too ambitious, too driven or simply too much for the people around you, maybe the answer isn’t to become less of yourself. Maybe you need a different fucking room. ## READY TO BUILD YOUR AUTHORITY, CONFIDENCE & PERSONAL BRAND? 📖 GET ERIKA'S BOOKS → Becoming Magnetic (Penguin Random House, 2025) → Confidence Feels Like Shit (2020) Available here: https://shop.thequeenofconfidence.com/collections/book Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any audio book app 📩 GROW YOUR FANBASE — Learn the timeless skill that turned my 1,000 followers into a 7 figure global business → https://courses.thequeenofconfidence.com/offers/TKhTxM3n/checkout ♟️ The Queen’s Table My high-level mentorship for women ready to step into leadership, visibility and legacy. → https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/ ✨ The Next Level Build your confidence, audience and income. → https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-next-level/ 🎤 BOOK ERIKA TO SPEAK → For keynotes, corporate events, and women's leadership conferences in Australia and the USA: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/speaking/ 📲 FOLLOW ERIKA → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/?hl=en → LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-queenconfidence/ → Website: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/about/ → TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequeenofconfidence 👑 LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONFIDENCE CHRONICLES → Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MUxtupRLNGB8cuNC9mwXI → Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-confidence-chronicles/id1439434022 → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtf2VIsUYg-vkERa16r\_VcFNz3Bt6kLI → All platforms: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/podcast/ 🙏🏽 ENJOYED THIS EPISODE?
