Summary:
Today’s episode of the Secret Library is such a treat – we are joined by Erika Rasure, an internationally recognized leader, educator, and researcher in holistic financial wellness. Throughout the episode, we chat about our respective experiences as writers who are also Enneagram 4s and how Erika uses the Enneagram in her work. We discuss the danger of waiting for the “perfect conditions” before starting. We have to be willing to change our conditions from within to take the next step forward. Erika shares why this barrier alone was almost the reason she didn’t write her upcoming book. ( Exciting news: she is now co-authoring it with another SLP guest!) I feel honored to witness such vulnerability from Erika, and know you will learn so much from her sharing. Enjoy!
Topics:
How Erika found herself in the financial therapy and transformational coaching space, leading to the idea for her book
Why Erika loves the Enneagram in her work with her clients
The shame, vulnerability, and innermost thoughts that many authors face when writing (and wanting to make money from it)
How Erika experienced the loss of motivation in writing and entrepreneurship and how it felt to ask for support
Finding new solutions when you‘re stuck, including how Erika found the opportunity to co-author
The importance of internal work to make things happen for you on the outside
