    EP. 172: The Call You Can’t Ignore: How to Recognize and Answer Your Purpose with Miriam Corona

    That feeling you have pushing you towards your purpose is giving you permission to go for it. You don’t need anything else to validate your thoughts, you just have to go for it. No matter what anyone else thinks.    This week’s guest is Miriam Corona, a life coach and a Courage Driven Latina alum. Miriam has years of leadership and security experience at Microsoft’s Data Center under her belt, as well as a background in Human Resources. During her time at Microsoft, Miriam learned how to inspire and guide people to embrace new opportunities. Now as a life coach, she helps women step out of their comfort zones and discover the confidence that’s already within them without needing external validation to shine.   In this week’s episode, Miriam and I talk about listening to that call you can’t ignore and stepping into your purpose. Miriam used to be held back by what other people would think of her. What’s more, she didn’t feel like she was the type of person who quit their job and started their own business. She didn’t think it was in her. Listen to this week’s episode to find out what changed and how she made all her dreams come true in less than a year.    Follow Miriam on: Instagram @‌crownmiriam  Facebook @‌crownmiriam  LinkedIn Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruz TikTok @‌theerikacruz LinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up for the "The Purpose Pivot" webinar here.

    EP. 171: The Truth About Clarity: How to Stop Overthinking and Start Doing

    Before I started this coaching business, I wanted to start a food blog. I was extremely passionate about it, but I wasn't putting any action towards making it happen. It wasn’t until my ex, my boyfriend at the time, called me out on my inaction. At first, I was offended, but then I realized that he was right. I kept talking about this food blog I was so into, but I was too afraid to start actually posting.    I was stuck because I felt like I needed clarity before I started anything. I was researching blogging and taking notes on other people’s blogs and just waiting for the moment I felt ready enough to post on my own blog. But that feeling never came. And it never would! Clarity is not what I needed to start my food blog - action was.    In this week’s episode, we’re talking about clarity and how to stop overthinking and actually start doing. It's time to take action and start working towards our most courageous lives. In this episode, I’m going to share my secret to manifesting my most amazing life. Here’s a hint - structured, perfectionist action doesn’t work but messy action does.

    EP. 170: Live Your Purpose Now—No Drastic Changes Required

    Living your life’s purpose doesn’t have to be this huge apocalyptic event in your life. You don’t have to quit your job and cut off all your connections in order to get closer to your life’s goal. You can start with what you have right now.    So many of my clients felt stuck in this limbo of wanting to live for their purpose but not wanting to give up their whole lives for it. And the funny thing is, they never had to! Burning down your old life is not a requirement for starting your new one. You can start your business while you work your day job. You can write your book without getting an MFA first. You can do it, you just have to start.    In this week’s episode, we’re going to be talking about how you can live your life’s purpose right now -  no drastic changes required. Drastic changes in your life like quitting your job or getting an MFA are not what’s going to align you with your life’s purpose. What will align with your life’s purpose is taking it one step at a time.    Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruz TikTok @‌theerikacruz LinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up for the "The Purpose Pivot" webinar here.

    EP. 169: The 10 Books That Changed My Life

    Books have changed my life in so many different ways. Every time I want to make a change, or grow, or even if I’m just curious about a topic, I do a little bit of research and pick up a book. I can’t tell you how much good it’s done for me. Even just one book, the Alchemist, has changed the trajectory of my life three times! The Alchemist gave me the courage I needed when I wanted to break off my engagement, when I left my six-figure tech job, and when I decided to move back home. I needed a new perspective to give me the courage I needed to make those changes, and I found it in that book.   Books are an amazing way to start your self-development journey. They’re accessible, convenient, and full of information. You can find books online, at your local bookstore, and for free at your local library. You can get a library card for a few bucks, or sometimes even free! Books are an incredible resource, and in this episode, I’m sharing a few of my favorites.    In this week’s episode, I’m going to share the 10 books that changed my life and why you’ll want to read them too. I’m sharing everything from fiction to non-fiction, some books on creativity and discipline, and some books from authors I personally know! I also share their corresponding podcast episodes if you’re interested in learning more about their books and their journeys. If you’re ready to take the next step and start attracting your most amazing life, this episode is for you.  Resources Mentioned: EP. 75: The Ultimate Courage Project: How Linda Garcia Pivoted to Teach POC the Stock Market with Linda Garcia EP. 113: Cultura and Cash: Managing Finances & Cultural Expectations w/ Giovanna González EP. 140: Become Financially Lit with Jannese Torres Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruz TikTok @‌theerikacruz LinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up for the "The Purpose Pivot" webinar here.

    EP. 168: Why You're Not Falling Behind (Even When It Feels Like You Are)

    First of all, no one knows what they’re doing. It’s very rare that anyone knows exactly what their purpose is. That takes a lot of time and a lot of life to live so you’re definitely not behind. Don’t get too caught up in what everyone else is doing.    In fact, most people we know are stressing out about feeling left behind and how everyone else is doing. If you’re feeling left behind because you’re not married, the married people are probably stressing out about their marriage, etc. We all feel like the grass is greener on the other side. So how do we stop feeling like we’re falling behind when we’re really not?    In this week’s episode, I’m going to break down why you’re not falling behind - even when it feels like you are. To do this, I’m going to share a few examples of people who felt like they were falling behind, including myself, when they were actually exactly where they were supposed to be. You’re not behind, you just need to accept where you are so the Universe can tell you where you’re going.    Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruz TikTok @‌theerikacruz LinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for Courage Driven Latina here.

    EP. 167: The Magic of Mindfulness: How to Find Peace and Clarity in a Chaotic World

    The magic of mindfulness has gotten me through some of the worst times of my life.  We know there are always ups and downs - in life, in business, everywhere. We know that balance is key and that everything will correct itself in the end. In those low moments, I spent way too much time anxiously worrying about all the worst things that could happen.    Worrying can feel like strategizing, but in reality, you’re making your mind feel as if you’re going through the traumatic event you’re thinking of. So you’re actually making the worst-case scenario come true because your brain doesn’t know the difference between an imagined experience and a real-life event. Your brain needs a break from the negativity, and the best way to do this is to take a moment to be mindful.    In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the magic of mindfulness and how you can use it to see the light in the midst of all the chaos. Last year when I was stuck worrying about my problems, I couldn’t think of any solutions to my problems. But when I refocused my attention on mindfulness, I was able to see the solutions that were right in front of me. And you can too! Listen to this week’s episode to unlock the power of mindfulness.    Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruz TikTok @‌theerikacruz LinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for Courage Driven Latina here.

    EP. 166: How to Get Your Spark Back After You've Lost It

    The scariest thing about losing your spark is that it can happen at any time and from any number of circumstances losing your spark can come from a toxic relationship, losing your job, or a passion project not turning out how you wanted it to. My clients have told me that they feel overwhelmed by these “failures” and that they’re not sure where to go from here. The word failures is in quotations for a reason, just wait.   Without your spark,  it can be really easy to start to question your worth, your power, and how you see yourself. But this is part of the cycle. We have abundance and we have lack. Our moments of lack do not define us, so stop letting it define you. So if this New Year is about getting yourself back to normal, that’s okay! Let’s take it one step at a time. Together.   In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to get your spark back after you’ve lost it. Life is full of cycles and transitions and your wins wouldn’t feel like wins if you never experienced hardship. Let’s go through these feelings together. With compassion and trust in the universe, we can find that spark again and know that it never left us.
