Awakening to Your Soul's Purpose: A Journey with Erica Carrico
Episode Description
In this powerful episode, Joshua and Adina talk with Success Coach Erica Carrico about her transformation from corporate burnout to building a multi-million dollar soul-aligned business. Erica's story demonstrates the life-changing power of remembering your true self.
Despite doing all the "right" things, Erica wasn't fulfilled. Then, at age 36, life delivered a powerful wake-up call: a kidney cancer diagnosis. Through this experience, she received the spiritual download that became her catalyst for transformation—leaving her job, ending her marriage, moving states, and starting her coaching business from a hospital bed.
In this episode, Erica shares her methodology for helping others discover their purpose. Now working with coaches and healers worldwide, Erica emphasizes that successful purpose-driven businesses must come from authentic passion. Key insights:
- Authenticity over templates: Finding your unique approach
- Maintaining focus: Avoiding comparison and staying true to your medicine
- Surrender and trust: Being a vessel rather than forcing outcomes
Key Takeaways
- Your pain can become your purpose through healing work
- Success comes from being more yourself, not copying others
- We all have original medicine that the world needs
- Building a business from the heart is necessary for sustainable success
Whether you're stuck in an unfulfilling career or seeking to live more authentically, Erica shows that with courage and inner trust, transformation is possible.
