Her Unapologetic life is the podcast where women just like you and I come together to let go of what we think the world expects of us. Instead, we seek to unlock true success and potential in our hearts, lives, and businesses. Are you held back by self-doubt, people pleasing, or perfectionism? Feeling like the angst takes over when you want to show up? Have you been putting yourself on the back burner so long you feel like you lost a part of yourself, or maybe don’t even recognize who you see in the mirror? You are in the right place. Pull up a chair at the table. It is time to redefine success on your terms and live your purpose. The world needs you. Each week, Therapist turned Intuitive Life Coach, Mercedes, shares tools, ideas, stories, interviews, and coaching to inspire you to step into that unapologetic life that has been waiting for you.

This episode is for all the ladies who make the plan for some time away for themselves or with friends, and then overwhelm hits - and the knee-jerk reaction is to cancel. To stay home to recalibrate, create security / safety, or to take charge. In this episode, Mercedes gently challenges this autopilot, taking 3 tips, or words of advice from her husband when this occurred recently. This episode will help you take inventory and tune into your intuition more to stay your course.

I am a cyclical person - heck, we all are - and while we can reflect anyday on what I am about to talk to… there are days / times that seem more powerful and intentional than others. And…. ½ way through the year… that is a midpoint. Vantage point.
A few ways we can take a pause…. To look at how we can live into intentional living for the rest of the year.
1- Seasonal living. This is so powerful - You might have heard about the unhurried life… reopening the doors. It is included for all clients, but if you want it stand alone, check it out. This is such a powerful way to change and grow - gonna change the name of the podcast and free group… to The Unhurried Life. Intentional living for lady leaders… and you are a leader!
2-= Add on to seasonal living - quarterly planning for both personal and professional. Also included for clients - this is a powerful session / tool that builds on itself season after season, quarter after quarter… here is a snapshot. Looking at what worked, what didnt work. Then where you want to focus now. And some best next steps. Or is it next best steps?
3- Give it time. This really plays into savoring the season, life in general… the moments… even more. This season we focus on savor, quality or quantity, and taking inventory…. Something we can do on the daily too. Taking the time. Infusing it in. This is why i am following the theme of last summer… and the summer before was a cool trip through the Circle of life - a tool i love and use with clients… so there is more to listen to, if you like what you are hearing:).
To bring it all together - you all know I have a retreat property, and that in this season we are in worker bee mode to create spaces throughout the actual property… and to add in a whole another home. eek= so excited! If you want to live even more into what I just talked about - seasonal living, quarterly planning, and taking the time- Into the Woods has a place for everyone - for a day, a getaway, with your team… keep listening this summer for more info.

Show notes: Let’s face it - we are stubborn, at least parts of our brains are. We want things to line up, receive many signs, and have proof that things are going to work out before we “decide” something.
Today Mercedes shares a few things that might keep you stuck, and what to do about it after you identify them. You owe it to yourself and your future self to settle in a minute and get into that driver's seat.

As 2023 draws to an end, Mercedes shares a letter- for you and for any lady leader who lives into the both/ and - the beautiful and the messy- on the daily.
She also talks about pausing her podcast - at least in the traditional sense. She has been cooking up something that has the feel of our familiar social media hang-outs, but is away from the scroll, endless memes (although there might be some), and negativity. She is calling it -Into the Woods Hub. Come check it out here: intothewoods.mn.co
In this Christmas season, and beyond, Mercedes extends gratitude for being here with her, and all the other women leaning into living her unapologetic life.
See you inside the Into the Woods Hub!
