Mar 9, 2020

In this episode, Kayla chops it up with Erika Cruz!

Erika Cruz is a Bay Area native who has been featured on “As Told by Women” (a blog dedicated to empowering women) and is the founder of TheNuttyOven.com, a food blog dedicated to inspiring a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

While her interest in wellness began with food, it has vastly expanded over the last year. Erika is currently balancing being a Program Manager for a tech start-up in Silicon Valley, along with being a certified Yoga instructor and mindfulness enthusiast. Her Instagram @SaludWithErika shares a variety of wellness tips such as healthy recipes, workout routines, mindfulness habits, and resources that have helped her along her own wellness journey.

As the proud daughter of Mexican Immigrants, Erika is aware of the lack of resources that were available to her growing up. She is passionate about making physical, mental, sexual, spiritual, and emotional wellness accessible to the Latinx community. Her mission is to provide tools and resources to her community so they can believe in their potential and crush their goals!
