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.

#1 Secret to Friendship Success
Thursday May 27, 2021
Thursday May 27, 2021
Most women I talk to want close relationships and friendships. They want to crack that code.
We, as women, are always so concerned with how we are as friends to OTHERS - wondering what we can do to change ourselves so others like us more.
Today, we're talking about how we can go a step further, and have true friendship success with women.
So, grab your favorite beverage and join me for a chat!

Fly your Freak Flag or Wave the Peace Flag
Thursday May 20, 2021
Thursday May 20, 2021
We are talking all about the art of honoring yourself and your friendships.
Last month, we talked about how we only have so much time and energy. And usually. for most of the women I know, time with friends is the first to go.
I like to talk about friendships in seasons (like most other things). We all have seasons where we are closer to some friends than others.
Let's talk about how we can take the guilt and shame out of lost or broken friendships and settle it once and for all.
No more "should-ing" on ourselves!

Friendship: Do You Trust?
Thursday May 13, 2021
Thursday May 13, 2021
When it comes to friendships, we will have better, more aligned friendships if we are good at asking for what we need.
I don’t know about you - but, in the past, I had some really amazing experiences with friends and some really hard ones.
Today, we are talking more about friendships. What do you love about them? What parts hurt the most?
We're going to ask some questions that will help us evaluate our level of trust in relationships... with ourselves and others.

Friendship Matters
Thursday May 06, 2021
Thursday May 06, 2021
One of my favorite things to do is help women, like you, redefine (or refine) your definition of friendship.
We are kicking off the month of May by taking a look at our beliefs around friendship and what happens when we give attention to our friendships.
We are going to start with some questions (surprise, surprise *wink*) centered around our friendships. Because when we take the time to think of these answers, we will be honoring ourselves and in turn honoring our friends.
So, join me today as we talk about these relationships in our lives. And remember, friendship isn’t something that just happens to us... We get to decide who we spend our time with.

Abundance and Wealth
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
We're talking about abundance and wealth.
This is a loaded topic…. one I really want you to consider being curious about. We can get stuck here if we believe we can’t ask for more, have enough, or that we would be taking from someone else.
Like I said at the beginning of the month, the exact opposite is actually true. The more we receive, the more we can give, the more we can receive.
So, join me for this shorter episode packed with some helpful affirmations from Think Up and my own collection.

Taking Your Health from Chronic to Consistent
Thursday Apr 22, 2021
Thursday Apr 22, 2021
What do you think of, when you think of health?
In today's episode, we're talking all about health. Feel free to jot down some notes or talk out loud as we go through looking at our overall health. And our overall health includes mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.
A lot of us operate in the role of helper for others, but how about for ourselves?
We could explore many different things when it comes to our health but today, I want to focus on the concept of CHRONIC.
So, grab your favorite warm beverage and join me as we deep dive into talking about what is chronic in our lives.

Thursday Apr 15, 2021
Today, let's dive into our second “awe”some topic: TIME.
How we spend and manage our time is important and there are so many ways we can talk about time. So many of you want to have better time management, to get that to-do list done in a timely manner…. We all have lessons to learn about our precious time.
Join me as we make it FUN and talk about time using some well-known phrases.

Awesome April - Kicking it into a Different Gear
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
I talk about relationships a lot... but, today we're focusing on primary relationships. The relationships that we have with those who are closest to us.
Some people have a lot of people in their lives, others choose to have few. Or, they have trouble relating so are feeling isolated.
Bottom line: we all want safety and belonging and from there we create our relationships.
So, join me today, as I'm on a little family getaway (primary relationships in action!) for a thoughtful chat. Of course, I'll have a few questions to help get your whole brain involved, challenging the limiting beliefs around the primary relationships in your life.

Kicking Into Gear - Helping You Live into Your Unapologetic Life
Thursday Apr 01, 2021
Thursday Apr 01, 2021
It's a new month and we have a new theme - We are Kicking Into Gear!
I often explore the circle of life with my clients…. And I have found, in my own coaching that there are usually 4 major areas of life that are impacted (Relationships, Time management, Health, and Wealth).
Then, we have a choice: we stay in status quo or we continue to uplevel.
In today's episode, let’s reflect over this past year.
The residual stress/ and trauma of the year is having its effects on everyone - in different ways. We have talked about the silver linings, now let’s talk about the cost and effects.

Divine Feminine: Soulful Living
Thursday Mar 25, 2021
Thursday Mar 25, 2021
As we wrap up the month of March, I'm happy to turn our focus to our soul. It's easier, or more natural, for us to pay attention to our minds and bodies, because they usually demand our attention. But, it's our soul that is often neglected or put not he back burner.
So, join me today as we take a look at our soul through our divine femininity and how we can decide to tap into its beauty and power. When we find ourselves hitting a wall, a glass ceiling, or even are stuck in a ditch…. This is key.
