This podcast is brought to you by Mercedes Saurbaugh, owner of Into The Woods Retreat + Therapeutic Coach. 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. It doesn’t have to be hard. Let’s keep it simple sister. Find out more at https://www.mercedessaurbaughcoaching.com/ Music: www.purple-planet.com

Today Mercedes riffs about self-love within the groups we choose to hang with - either in our personal or professional lives. While it is slightly tangential, it will plant the seed of asking yourself some clarifying questions to start creating your own self-love formula for safety in numbers. We all need soft places to land, and we can find and create them.
Mercedes’ Birthday is right around the corner - so head over to Her Unapologetic Life (https://www.facebook.com/groups/herunapologeticlife) to hear about a special gift she has wrapped up just for you to help her celebrate.

When was the last time you used the word “lavish” in a sentence? In today’s episode, Mercedes gives you 3 ways to consider lavishing love on yourself. Seems simple, but it really is a skill most of us aren’t taught. It is never too late to learn - and watch how life shifts. You deserve that lovely!

Today Mercedes talks about LOVE - what goes into saying YES to love. And in her usual fashion -what it takes to say YES to ourselves when it comes to self-love.
She believes that self-love is foundational to all of our other relationships and is so important, she included it in her membership’s first season. --> https://www.intothewoods.co/the-unhurried-life/#tul-sign-up
Join us today to find out why saying YES to you will skyrocket your life.

We all experience some head drama when we consider joining a group or after we have joined it. The belief that we might not have the time or take the time to show up “as we should” is a major reason we miss out on some amazing opportunities.
In today’s episode, we talk about this limiting belief, and without going to the other extreme of false yeses, Mercedes proposes we think about differently. From a place where we can get value no matter how and when we show up.
If you are still on the fence about The Unhurried LIfe, have a listen and see where you land. Regardless, you can apply today’s ideas to any personal development event you are trying to make a decision on.

This episode will air as I and 3 friends spend the day traveling home from a girl’s getaway in Mexico. I had something else planned to talk about, until I was sitting around the pool with them.
Fly out of the cold, drop into the paradise called the Mexican Caribbean, and if life doesn’t become less hurried, we have to talk.
I was going to riff with my friends about slowing down and how they relax… but the pool was noisy and the days seem to keep passing quickly.
Instead, I found 3 really strong themes of “stories” women tell themselves when deciding to take a trip - and a little challenge.
Take away a few ideas, nuggets of wisdom, and ask yourself these questions.
And. Book that trip.
Doors are open to my membership, The Unhurried Life. Create more consistency in self-care, your relationship with YOU, and living seasonally.

The 12 days of Christmas over in the group is inspired by the Journey of the three Wisemen, following the star to find Jesus. Today, I muse about how many make it about New Year’s Resolutions or their rebellion against them.
I somehow connect this to a few things we can learn from the Wisemen’s journey so long ago, to help guide ours. This isn’t a theology lesson. I can’t prove this is how they felt, exact data…. But, I found so many lessons here…. so I tried not to overthink it. :) Inviting you to do the same ;)
Listen for a few that stand out to you. Even rewind a few and hear them again.
We can learn a lot from the Journey of the Three Wisemen - on their road to Epiphany.
It is an honor to invite you into a journey with me - The Unhurried Life. This could be the season to consider yourself and your journey. Go check it out.

We're heading into a new year and wouldn't it be great to head into 2023 in alignment? For most of us, it may be a simple tweak or a realignment.
Have you ever driven a car that was out of alignment or a bicycle for that matter? Not fun, and things get worn out, real quick.
Have a listen to today’s easy listening episode- where we give realignment the valuable place on “our list” that it deserves.
