In this episode I interview my dear friend, philanthropist and incredibly successful accountant, Liz Correa. In addition to her work as an accountant, Liz’s heart for giving has made her an integral part of the local community—she helps countless individuals through her role as Treasurer for the Idaho Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Treasurer for the Idaho Hispanic Foundation, and through her work on the Board of Directors for CapEd Credit Union. Greater than all of these notable accomplishments however is her love for her son and her family, and her quiet humility. Liz embodies the values she was raised with and her work ethic, in conjunction with her heritage, has been the driving force of her success. As a self-proclaimed first-generation immigrant to the US, Liz has nothing but pride and appreciation for her roots.
Listen to our interview, of dreams made reality through work ethic and persistence, of single motherhood and raising an amazing child, of supporting one another rather than competing—especially as women. If you’ve ever found yourself at a loss as to why something or ‘someone’ has happened to you, Liz’s story will shift your perspective to life and people happening for you—even if it is just to learn and grow. This episode will have you wanting to befriend Liz for her magnetic presence and her giving heart, taking notes on how to be a successful working mother without sacrificing your relationship with your children, and finding appreciation for all of the opportunities given and earned.
