EP 140: Stop Living Someone Else's Success Story: How to Find Your True Purpose

At 23, I had the six-figure engineering job everyone dreamed of, but I felt totally lost.

As a Cuban immigrant who came to America with a single mom making $12,000 a year, I thought landing a prestigious position at Exxon Mobil would be my ultimate success story.

On paper, I had made it - but internally, I was struggling with a deep sense of disconnection between society's definition of success and what my soul was calling me to do.

The journey from that first engineering job to becoming a self-mastery coach wasn't linear or immediate. It took years of side hustles, certifications, and gradually aligning my corporate roles with my true purpose of creating impact.

What I discovered is that purpose isn't about the 'how.’ It's about the 'why' that drives everything you do.

In this episode, I share my personal transformation from survival mode to purposeful living, including the exact framework I used to discover my true calling.

Whether you're feeling unfulfilled in your current role or searching for deeper meaning in your work, you'll learn how to align your career with your soul's purpose without sacrificing stability.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about:

• Why external success often leads to internal emptiness

• How to identify your true purpose beyond societal expectations

• The framework for transitioning from survival to purpose-driven work

• Why your 'how' should remain flexible while your 'why' stays constant

• Practical steps for aligning your career with your soul's calling
