CALIFORNIA, USA, September 21, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cynthia M. Ruiz is a Professor, Best-selling Author, Executive Coach, Inspirational Speaker, and Leadership Expert. Receiving over 75 accolades and awards for her leadership and service to the City of Los Angeles. She currently serves as Commission President for LACERS (Los Angeles City Employee Retirement System) overseeing a multibillion-dollar pension portfolio.

“It's about really having that inner peace and realizing that happiness is a choice. And I choose happiness every day, and it helps me gain perspective. And no matter what challenge is coming my way, I can get through it.”
Cynthia comes from a beautiful mixed background of a Mexican father, and Native American Cherokee on her mother’s side. However, that environment was still unfortunately surrounded by negativity, gang activity, and drugs. Witnessing the difficulties her mother faced when raising her and her sibling as a single mother, inspired her to want to do better for herself and her community. “Seeing all the difficulties that she (her mother) had starting from scratch really inspired me to want something better for my life. I witnessed her struggles and vowed I would never depend on someone else to support me.”
Although she faced trauma early in life, through her perseverance, Cynthia was the first member in her family to go to college. Fighting demons from abuse, she put on a brave face and channeled that energy into her studies and successfully attained her Masters in Counseling at the very young age of 23.
She focused her energy in her business and built it to be a successful million dollar venture. Cynthia shows us truly how anything is possible when we apply the energy and passion to our work. She teaches people how happiness is their own responsibility, and we all need to work through our traumas and baggage to blossom and elevate ourselves.
“Everybody in life has challenges... And a lot of the challenges create emotional baggage and that emotional baggage may show up in our life as anger, resentment, guilt, shame, and insecurity. So it's about doing the work to release that baggage so you're happy and healthy.” And it’s through hard work, perseverance, dedication, and having her spiritual journey that her life is a living example of how anything is possible. She started off on welfare and now she oversees $22 billion dollars of investments.
