What if the wake-up call you’ve been avoiding is actually pointing you toward the life you were meant to live?

In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter sits down with Erica Carrico, an award-winning life purpose and business coach and founder of Soul Business Collective. After a life-altering kidney cancer diagnosis, Erica was forced to confront the truth that the life she had built—a corporate career, marriage, and lifestyle—was deeply out of alignment with who she truly was. Instead of ignoring that realization, she chose to rebuild her life from the ground up.

Together, Autumn and Erica explore how major life disruptions—like cancer, divorce, burnout, or emotional exhaustion—can become powerful catalysts for discovering deeper purpose. They discuss the importance of slowing down, recognizing the friction in our lives, and learning to listen to what our bodies and intuition have been trying to tell us all along. Erica also shares how purpose isn’t a single destination but something that evolves as we grow, heal, and reconnect with our authentic selves.

Throughout the conversation, Erica introduces the three powerful questions that help people begin uncovering their life purpose: what you love, what you’re naturally gifted at, and how those two things can create value in the world. She also shares insights from her book Awaken Your Purpose, which guides readers through the healing, reflection, and clarity needed to begin living a purpose-driven life.
