COPYWRITING PORTFOLIO By Nadja Eriksson Launch Email Sequence ​“Self-Love for Wise Women”​ Online Course Email #1: You’re invited to the party! (Time-sensitive) Are you ready to embody Self-Love like the badass that you are? Read on to learn how I did it and how you can too! Do you remember when, back in high-school, all the popular girls would host fancy parties at their private homes? They’d gossip about each other’s (ex-)boyfriends, get bad s#*t drunk, and do things they’d totally regret the next morning (like posting drunken selfies on Instagram). Although I grew up before smartphones and Social Media became popular, that’s how I’d imagine it could’ve been. I say “imagine” because I’ve never actually been invited to such parties. ​Only the cool kids are, am I right? Not sure about you, but I was not that cool. I was soft-spoken, highly sensitive (Mieeeeep!), and introverted, so I never made it to the top of the popularity contest. Instead, I played the part of the rebel. At 16, I moved to England, made friends with artists and Anarchists, shaved off all my hair, and then painted the stubs bright red. When my parents came to visit six months into my stay, they didn’t recognize me waiting at the airport. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com This is me in the year 2000, posing for my best friend’s tribal art project. The jacket? A 1970s hand-me-down from my grandpa. Cheerful, hmmm? You know what? I was hurting. And rather than let anyone hurt me again, I decided to shut down and to not let people come too close while trying to be invincible. How did I end up there? Well, after having been bullied for over three years in middle school, I was dumped by an ​A-hole boyfriend who couldn't help but spread all the intimate details of our new relationship across the entire schoolyard. That’s when I decided that enough is enough. All I wanted to do was stay inside and read books while secretly eating too many chocolate chip cookies. Food addiction is just like drinking on your own -- you’re trying to dry your tears with a substitute for love. But alcohol was too strong for me... So I made sugar my drug of choice. Bridget Jones could have been my bestie. Of course, what I was really longing for was love, connection, and acceptance. But the more I was seeking it on the outside, the more it evaded me, and the more miserable I felt. The metaphysical text ​A Course in Miracles ​teaches that everything is either an expression of love or a call for love.​ ​*This* was definitely a call for love. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com Fast forward to today, 20 years later. Each morning, I wake up next to the most gorgeous man in the world, my extraordinary husband Daniel. His big smile always makes my day, no matter how grumpy, anxious or distressed I feel upon waking. (And you deserve such an amazing partner too. Hell, every girl does!) Work feels like pleasure as I do what I love every day -- contemplating life while writing away behind my slim laptop, diligently typing words until my brain gets dizzy and have to excuse myself to head out for a long walk along the canal. *Thoreau would be proud.* Plus, I get to party with Berlin’s cool kids -- unapologetically tying my long hair back into a high ponytail, adjusting the black-and-gold leather collar from the kinky Christmas market on my neck and strutting around KitKat Club in my studded Frye cowboy boots. What’s this story got to do with you? It’s a real-life example of how your experience can positively transform when you finally stop fighting against life and let true love in. During the past 20 years, I’ve been a serious truth-seeker. I’ve worked so frickin’ hard on myself, turning every spiritual stone, reading any self-help book I could get my hands on, and attending a shit ton of relationship seminars and tantra retreats. I was so obsessed with personal growth and spirituality. It was the biggest priority in my life and it’s taught me so many things about life -- I could (and will!) write more than one book about all of this. The biggest lesson I’ve learned? You are everything you’re longing for. All the love, joy, peace, and acceptance you desire lies within you. You access it by nurturing your relationship with the deepest, wisest part of you. The part of you that’s eternal, immortal, and always home with God. Your higher Self, your Soul, or as I call Her, your Big She. When you listen to Her quiet whispers in your heart and follow the guidance only She can offer, your life will radically transform for the better. Her guidance is not just for some of us, it’s here for all of us. You only need to ask and tune in to the answer. It’s in you. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com A couple of weeks ago, my girl Clara and I got together in my living room to shoot a video, where we talked about your inner guidance, the love of your deepest, wisest Self, tantric orgasms, and so much more. I’d love for you to watch this free video and get inspired. It’s like attending our private party to meet your new girlfriends -- in my beautiful living room. RSVP here. We’d love to have you! (link video) (Enter a screenshot with a link to the YouTube video) If you’re still reading, thank you! (Maybe you’ve been skimming, that’s okay, I do it all the time.) Anyways, here’s your reward for patiently staying with me as I ramble on about my past: to help you build that relationship with your biggest, wisest Self, I’ve created a new video course that’ll guide you through this process of discovering Self-love from within -- step by step. It’s called ​Self-love for Wise Women -- Stop Putting Yourself Down, Feel Mighty Confident, and Be a Spiritual Badass, ​and it’s available now. (link) If you’re done crying over your non-committed boyfriend, start treating yourself like the most important person in your life (because you are!), and gain the confidence you need to make yourself really happy, this course is for you. And because you’re a tribe-member (meaning you’ve opted in to hear from me via email), I’m giving you an exclusive insider-discount: until midnight this Sunday, August 11, you can get the course for 50% OFF. Click here to find out more and get it for 50% off now. (link) If you get overwhelmed by long courses that take forever to go through and want a series of six quick pep-talks by yours truly (no more than 60 mins video in total), this is for you. NOTE: I created this course after I tested these teachings life with a handful of women this past winter and spring, and they all went bananas over it, saying it completely changed their lives and the way they perceive themselves. See you over here? (link) Sending you a long, big BFF hug! Nadja xo © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com PS: Here’s the link again to the ​Self-Love for Wise Women​ course. (link) PPS: Want to know how long it took me to actually finish this virtual puppy? Yeah, didn’t think so. Email #2: Why you’re stuck. (Get the course at 50% OFF!) Hey there! How’d you like the video I sent you? You know, Self-love can be such a difficult subject. We’re so conditioned to believe that love is something we deserve, have to work hard for, and hopefully achieve someday. That we have to be special, perfect, or good to be worthy of it. Perfectionism was such a biggie for me. I tried to do everything right -- all the time. In third grade, I wrote more essays than needed just to impress my kind old teacher with the clunky wooden arm, Mrs. Dietz (Bless her!). I said ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and ‘good day’ to every stranger I met in the streets of my small hometown. I’ve even allowed a real-world psychopath to steal my shakti and my cash because I believed he had some spiritual authority over me. I also tried to be the perfect girlfriend to a man with a serious love-addiction who was totally blaming me for all the dysfunction in our effed up relationship. Not sayin’ any of this lightly, but these things did happen. They happened because I allowed them to. Subconsciously, I didn’t believe that I was worthy of love unless I acted the part of the perfect girl. It was a mind-trap. A misconceived belief that kept me stuck in self-doubt and ​“I’m not good enough-blah”. After having worked with hundreds of women for over a decade (talk about the cobbler’s own shoes!), I know for a fact that if you feel like you’re never good enough, you’re not alone. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com The worst part is that we’re so familiar with these self-defeating voices that we think that they are​ us. Maybe you don’t know that there’s a deeper, small voice within you that speaks of unconditional love for you. That deepest part of you loves you more than anything, no matter if you’re acting like the worst bitch from hell during your darkest days of PMS, or you’re heaven’s sweetest angel radiating pure love and light. ‘Cos that’s why it’s unconditional -- it’s there for you no matter what, and there’s nothing you need to do, be, or give to deserve it. You’re worthy just because you exist. This is a major theme of ​Self-Love for Wise Women​. When you’re aware that you can choose which inner voice you listen to, you have all the power. You get to be in charge. You get to decide whom you’re letting in and who *really* needs to fuck off. You are a badass when you dare to trust that quiet whisper inside of your own mind that speaks of truth and love. This is the voice of your Big SHE. She is your biggest cheerleader and your most trusted advisor. ​And She’s totally rooting for you! You can make a new choice in each moment. Choose the ego’s voice for fear, and you’ll feel like no matter what you do, you’re never worthy of love. Choose Her voice for love, and you’ll feel like you’ve just met “the one” you’ve been waiting for your whole life. Except that this is not an idle fantasy. It is real. So what are you waiting for? Payday? A serious life-crisis? Next Monday? (‘Cos we all like to start fresh on Mondays, am I right? But on Monday, your early bird discount will be gone -- Bummer!) Don’t wait too long, or you’ll miss the discount, and then you’ll have to pay the full price, like the rest of those poor peeps who aren’t insiders (yet). © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com But hey - you are!

Now is not the right time to meditate. Now is not the right time to have lunch with my girlfriends. Now is *definitely*​ n ​ ot the right time to record more videos. (Because, PMS…!) Now is not the right time to call my aging grandparents. Now is not the right time to place a new Rewe-order, meal-plan for the week ahead, and dump all that food into the slow-cooker while playing Tetris with the remaining groceries in our tiny fridge. (Who knew that playing video games in the ’90s would actually teach me valuable life-lessons?!) Now is not the right time to look at tax papers. Always those bloody German tax papers...! © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com Now is not the right time to take that long trip to the States, launch my first video course, have an operation on my leg, and figure out which country I want to raise my (future!) children in. You feel me? It’s never the right time for ​anything​ -- except breakfast. It’s always a good time for breakfast. (My favorite is eggs and bananas. Mashed up and fried crispy-golden in a dollop of coconut oil.) About two months ago, it was definitely not the right time for me to rehearse and shoot videos for ​Self-Love for Wise Women -- Stop Putting Yourself Down, Feel Mighty Confident,​ ​and Be a Spiritual Badass. (link) I was putting on this course, preparing for a sacred wood ceremony, and got an operation scheduled -- all in one week. I was looking for excuses to avoid doing it. The resistance was saying, “Nobody’s going to care. This is useless. You’re wasting your time. Get a real job.” But the deeper, wiser part of me knew that this is total BS. This was just my ego rambling on and on, trying to keep me safe and warm within the comfort of my comfort zone. The fear of judgment, rejection, or even worse, plain indifference… It’s never the right time. (Again, except for breakfast.) So if now is not the right time for you to join ​Self-Love for Wise Women… ​ (link) If it’s not the right time to secure your ticket with the limited insider discount and take some time to finally connect with your innermost wisdom, join me in my private living room and learn with me… If it’s not the right time to completely change the way you think about yourself and treat yourself because you’re afraid of receiving so much unconditional love from a Source within you but not of you… If it’s not the right time to stop listening to the inner bully in your mind telling you that you’re not good enough and you don’t deserve to have the life you love… If it’s not the right time to effortlessly change the way people perceive and treat you because you're changing your mind about who you are what you’re worth… © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com I hear you. After all, with this big trip and Burning Man coming up, my sore leg, and tedious calorie-cutting efforts, it’s definitely not a good time for me to launch my first ever video course where I’m talking in front of a camera about how much you are loved. Maybe in the autumn. That would be a good time. (Or even better, next year, when I’m more “ready” to do this.) You know what else?

Have we met? I’m Nadja. My friends also call me Cream. (Don’t ask.) A writer, wifey, and spiritual badass, I like to think of myself as a wise woman. But in reality, I’m just a girl with a laptop and a serious obsession with all things truth and love. The first thing I’ve ever authored in my faint yellow, hard-bound journal from first grade was something poetic about God and eternity. The source of all this inspiration? My late great-grandmother’s Christian wall-art. :) But that was just the beginning. The deep desire for answers led me on a long pilgrimage across Spain, had me sleep in unsafe mountain caves on the tiny island of La Gomera, stretch far beyond my comfort zone in wildly sexual tantra retreats, and meditate on my life’s purpose in a bunker so dark I couldn’t see a hand in front of my face. Mind you, that whole dark-retreat lasted for a week...during which we ate only once a day — from a bowl, like a monk. I was a vegan then. Yap, lettuce didn’t help — I felt so starved I almost fainted in the end. But hey — I’d found my purpose! Turns out, I was born to write.​ (As if I hadn’t known that before…! ;) ) Well, now I create books, articles, and other things. Which brings me to you. I know you’re a seeker too. And I know you want more. You long to… © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com ● stop hiding and playing small. ● trust your intuition more. ● find greater meaning in your life. ● serve the world with your deepest gifts. ● feel loved and accepted by the people you care about. ● have fun with your creativity and inspiration. ● get clear on where to go and what to do. ● experience a more satisfying intimate relationship. ● Enjoy deep pleasure in your own body. ● heal your anxiety and feel safe on the inside no matter what. All your longings were mine... and now, they’ve become my reality. What did I learn from manifesting these powerful changes? That it all starts with YOU. When you align with your biggest, wisest Self (your Big SHE), you become your own best friend. In fact, She ​is​ you. She’s always here with you, guiding you to your next highest potential for love, clarity, and fulfillment. She’ll never stop rooting for you. You don’t have to do all of this by yourself -- you always have guidance! © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com Everything you want is available to you through the connection to your biggest, wisest Self.

Probably, every day of your life -- if this describes you. You... ● question your worthiness, feel stuck in perfectionism, and afraid you’ll never be good enough to be loved & accepted ● self-sabotage when it comes to manifesting your dreams and desires, you often stopping before you even begin ● compare yourself with other women and secretly believe that they are so much better than you because they have it all ● doubt your own ability to experience a truly loving intimate relationship that actually lasts ● feel meaningless in your job, like you’re drifting through life without being connected to your power and purpose © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com ● are out of control with self-sabotaging behaviors such as over-eating on those chocolate-cinnamon almonds from the self-serve aisle ● depend on love and approval from others to feel good about yourself, which rarely comes, so you don’t believe you’re worth it ● settle for less and accept mere crumbs instead of true connection in your friendships and spiritual community ● bend over backwards to please your selfish boyfriend but feel desperate because he puts down you down when you’re emotional ● run on unconscious fear and guilt, feel stressed out, behind schedule, and like you’re never doing enough in your online business Even worse… You know that if you keep playing small, people will never recognize your true greatness. While your friends are out partying, you’re home alone journaling about how to be a more loving girlfriend. One day you’ll be an old, wise woman thinking, “Gee, I’ve wasted my best years being controlled by my inner critic! I wish I hadn’t been so hard on myself...” I get it. Because I was you. I was my own worst enemy -- full of self-doubt, insecurity, and shame. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until you’re 91 years old to tap into your inner Wise Woman. She’s already here for you, right now. I call Her -- your Big She. She is the biggest, wisest part of you, your feminine Soul and your inner guide when you’re confused in your choice between fear and love. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com Once I’d built a strong relationship with my Big She, everything changed. She is your true Self that loves you unconditionally -- no matter what storm is raging in your life. Now, I feel connected to Self-love 99% of the time. As soon as I “lose” the connection, I have the tools to bring myself back into alignment with Self-love and inner peace. The Big She is your missing piece in the puzzle of feminine empowerment. You can’t fake Self-love by pep-talking yourself in front of the mirror every morning -- you have to embody it to fully feel it. Let’s face it: nobody cares how many times you double-tap motivational “girl-power!” quote-cards on Instagram -- if you can’t feel deeply loved from within, your mind will always convince you it’s all a lie. When you’re fully connected to Self-love, your life looks like this: You... ● know who you really are, the awareness of your inherent worthiness outshines any of your ego’s self-doubt and insecurity ● have a clear vision of your dreams and desires and you fearlessly pursue them with trust and ease, knowing you’re guided ● find joy in the company of other women and wish them the best, knowing that their success and happiness is yours ● thrive in your romantic relationship -- being with your intimate partner lifts you to even higher heights ● embody your life’s purpose every day, knowing that your true purpose here is to be and give love ● feel in control of your behavior, you’re no longer run by your addictions and ego’s need for instant gratification © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com ● love and accept yourself no matter what others are saying or thinking about you, it’s enough to approve of yourself ● aim for your highest potential and never stop joyfully expanding into the next biggest version of you ● care for yourself and know how to meet your own needs, so that you can give to others comes from a place of abundance ● are driven by joy and inspiration, knowing that you’re right on schedule while trusting in divine timing If this sounds too good to be true, believe me when I say that this is not only possible for you, but inevitable. Sooner or later, your Big She will guide you back into Her loving arms. This is your true homecoming. The only question is: how fast do you want it to happen? You can spend years or even lifetimes in unnecessary mind-suffering, or you can say “Yes!” to Her right now and feel happy sooner rather than later. All you need is the know-how to get you into alignment with Her, so you can experience great shifts towards more Self-love today. This is why I created ​Self-Love for Wise Women​ -- to provide you with the tools (which I use daily) to overcome fear, insecurity, and self-doubt so that you can become the spiritual badass you really are. This course is different from anything you’ve ever done before.

Email #2: 11 Random things you didn’t know about me ● I’m obsessed with minimalism and tidying. Every day (okay, almost), I rummage through my home and (moderate) possessions looking for something else to edit out. It feels liberating to get rid of things. Not owning very much makes me feel free, light, and unbound. I like that feeling. Freedom. It’s a good thing. ● I believe in effortlessness. Effortless style, effortless transformation, effortless creativity. I’m not a big pusher. I tried it while living in NYC. But then I got the shingles and realized I need to slow down or my body would get burned out. © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com ● I’m an amazing listener. It’s something I’ve learned in my Zen Coaching education. I’m great at being present and fully showing up for someone, whether they’re in a crisis or just wanting to share a good story. ● I’m not a fan of Social Media. I used to have a Twitter account, because I thought I should. And Facebook. And Instagram. I finally let go of them all and am so much happier for it. Constant input makes my mind scattered and unfocused. ● I get easily overwhelmed, stressed and anxious. That’s exactly why I avoid Social Media, TV, and the news. I fret and worry about things. My monkey mind can drive me crazy. ● I grew up behind the iron curtain (in East Germany). The (subconscious) fear of oppression and surveillance is still in my bones. I was six years old when the wall fell. I still remember my last days in kindergarten, when the women working there would rip apart tiny red paper flags. Asking them what they were doing, my six-year old self was told that workers were no longer valued. ● Jesus is my guru. I used to have a girl-crush on Mother Mary, but now they’re both my personal rockstars. I’ve been a spiritual seeker since I was a child. One day I discovered the metaphysical book ​A Course in Miracles​, and I knew I found my path. ● Dancing with seeming opposites is one of my secret superpowers. I feel at home in the tranquil Swedish woods as well as in the bustling streets of New York City, and admire Rihanna’s badassery as much as Mother Mary’s unconditional love. ● I believe that the ultimate spiritual practice is the art of opening to love in any situation. Love is what turns on our radiance. It makes us shine from within. I think giving and being love is our ultimate life purpose. ● I used to think that I’d never want kids, get married, or settle down. I resisted these things with the stubbornness of a pug. Now, at age 35, I want all of this. I’ve travelled the world, I’ve been to all the crazy parties, etc. Now my dream is to build a house in nature, have a Samoyed dog, and make babies. Gather friends © Nadja Eriksson 2018 - 2020. ​www.nadjaeriksson.com and family around a big table, serving them slow-cooked meals, and take long walks with our dog. ● After reading the seminal ​Conversations with God​ trilogy, I had a big dream to write such a powerful book myself. Ten years later, the universe connected me with a woman who helped me make this dream come true. We’ve had a difficult relationship ever since we first met, and writing a book together has definitely pushed us to our limits. But in the end, we learned about forgiveness, surrender, and true sisterhood, and finished off with a massive manuscript.
