Regain your sense of Purpose with John Perez Cruz | Construct your life #337

John Perez Cruz’s mission is to help other veterans regain their sense of purpose and carve their own individual path to true fulfillment. John attended the US Naval Academy from 2010 to 2014. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a 2ndLt in the US Marine Corps and was stationed in Twentynine Palms, California. He served as a Logistics Officer for 5 years on Active Duty until transitioning in 2019. After transitioning, he backpacked Europe, moved to Austin, Texas to learn guitar and songwriting in order to explore a latent passion in art, became a high school lacrosse coach, and worked as a management consultant in Washington, DC. He explored his newfound freedom and experimented with new identities. John struggled to find purpose and meaning through all the different journeys he took after leaving the military. He experienced bouts of depression, anxiety, and a general sense of ungroundedness or feeling lost. After years of exploring Jungian psychology, philosophers like Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts, and various plant medicines, he decided to invest in his self-development through coaching programs that completely changed his perspective. He now coaches others to cultivate new identities through somatic healing, language work, and restructuring beliefs.
