When we know we’re capable of more but aren’t sure when or how we’ll be recognized. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this special panel-turned-podcast episode, Erika sits down with three breakout stars from hit Netflix Canada shows who are living proof of what can happen when you stop playing small and trust that your story belongs on a bigger stage.You’ll hear from:

Anna Lambe (North of North) on staying rooted in who you are while reaching a global audienceSydney Topliffe (Wayward) on why telling darker and more complex stories matterMiku Martineau (Bet) on stepping into confidence and leading with boldness

Together, they explore what’s shifted in Canadian storytelling. More importantly, they share the internal shifts required to meet bigger opportunities when they arrive. This episode isn’t just about TV. It’s about momentum, self-belief and what becomes possible when underestimated voices are finally seen. And the power of seeing yourself differently, too.

Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/ In this special premiere episode, which was originally recorded in January 2022 (!!!), Erika is candid about being the winner of Survivor 41 and the topic everyone asks about: her edit. There are some eye openers! She gets honest about watching herself as an Asian woman on reality TV, how her pre-Survivor experiences as a woman of colour led to a historic victory and how a high school incident, that only recently came to light, influenced her path. Erika shares a message for others who feel underestimated.
