181: Accessing Your Big Inner Purpose with Christian De La Huerta

Author: Simona Costantini May 16, 2023 Duration: 36:42

I cannot wait for you all to hear this conversation I had with Christian De La Huerta about spirituality, finding our purpose, and what can keep us from it.

We also talk about our history with religion and spirituality, and how that plays into our understanding of self and our personal journeys towards fulfillment and happiness.

With 30 years of experience, Christian de la Huerta is a sought-after spiritual teacher, personal transformation coach and leading voice in the breathwork community. He has traveled the world offering inspiring and transformational retreats combining psychological and spiritual teachings with lasting and life-changing effects. 

An award-winning, critically acclaimed author, he has spoken at numerous universities and conferences and on the TEDx stage. His new book, Awakening the Soul of Power, was described by multiple Grammy Award–winner Gloria Estefan as “a balm for the soul of anyone searching for truth and answers to life’s difficult questions” and has received a Nautilus Book Award and a Nonfiction Book Award.
