Erika's bold decision to disrupt her life came from the realization that the checkboxes she was ticking didn't truly reflect what she wanted or needed. This led her to leave behind her comfortable routine and move across the world from Belgium to Toronto, Boston, and ultimately, New York. As she embarked on the journey of starting her own business, she learned to respect her boundaries and energy, and she emphasizes the importance of finding your own alignment—professionally, personally, and emotionally. She discusses how to identify when you’re out of alignment and provides actionable strategies for moving forward toward the life you want to be living. Tune in for inspiring insights on embracing change and finding true alignment in your life. About Erika RoegiesOriginally from Belgium, Erika Roegies began her career path in satellite communications with New Skies Satellites, now SES Astra, in The Netherlands.
