Are you living solely for your job title? In this thought-provoking episode of Latina Mic Drop, host Miriam Simon challenges listeners to break free from the trap of defining themselves entirely by their professional roles.

Miriam shares five compelling reasons why going beyond your job title is essential for personal growth and fulfillment:

1. You're more than your position - Your job title isn't the totality of who you are
2. Missed opportunities for exploration - Discover interests and hobbies you never knew you had
3. Jobs can stop working for you - What happens when work becomes boring or you face unexpected layoffs?
4. Salary stagnation - Why staying put might be costing you significant income increases
5. Limited growth potential - How playing it safe can keep you stuck in the same place

Drawing from her own experience of making eight consecutive career moves, Miriam offers practical insights on how to become a well-rounded person who owns their career path. She discusses the importance of exploring your creativity, taking time for reflection, and stepping outside your comfort zone.

Whether you're someone who works 16-hour days thinking only about your job, or you're curious about what else life has to offer beyond your 9-to-5, this episode will inspire you to give yourself permission to explore new possibilities.

Key Takeaways:

• How to break the cycle of work-sleep-repeat
• Why career pivots can lead to significant salary increases
• The importance of developing transferable skills
• How to use your commute time for personal growth
• Ways to explore your interests while maintaining your day job

Perfect for ambitious professionals who want to create a more balanced and fulfilling life without sacrificing career success.

The ONE Question That Will Change Your Life Forever (And 6 More That Will Transform Everything)

Episode 33: Latina Mic Drop with Miriam Simon

Why This Episode Will Hit Different

Ever feel like you're on autopilot, going through the motions but not really LIVING? Miriam Simon drops truth bombs about the single most powerful tool that transformed her life from settling for "good enough" to creating a life that lights her up every single day.

The game-changer? It's not what you think. It's something so simple, yet so profound, that most people completely overlook it.

The Big Reveal: Your Secret Weapon

THE question that started it all: "Is this what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?"

Miriam asked herself this on a train into NYC. A moment of clarity changed EVERYTHING. & it can change everything for you too.

7 Life-Changing Questions Every Leader Needs to Ask

For Personal Transformation:

1. "Is this what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?" (The ultimate reality check)

2. What am I afraid of?" (The fear-buster that unlocks everything)

3. "How am I contributing to the problem?" (The accountability question that changes the game)

For Leadership Excellence:

4. "What are people saying that we're not hearing?" (Uncover the hidden signals)

5. "What's the gap that's not being filled?" (Find your breakthrough opportunity)

6. "How can I contribute to the solution?" (Your path to impact)

For Deep Connection:

7. "What are they really saying underneath?" (Read between the lines like a pro) Hard Truth About Questions

But here's what Miriam knows: Questions don't just give you answers, they give you POWER. The power to:

- ✅ Meet people where they are (the #1 leadership skill)

- ✅ Build a life that's sustainable and fulfilling

Your Action Steps (Don't Skip This!)

This Week, Ask Yourself:

1. What pattern in my life needs to be interrupted?

2. What am I avoiding because I'm scared of the answer?

3. How am I contributing to a problem I keep complaining about?

Pro Tip: Don't overwhelm yourself by asking all these at once. Pick ONE and sit with it. The answers will come.
