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?

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.

Time flies between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think I say this every year, “I can’t believe it’s December already!”
Before you fall into that fast river of December life, stay over here with me for a minute. From the vantage point of looking forward with anticipation and reflecting over the year in gratitude.
Be, Do, Have Gratitude list. Sounds as cool as it is.
So, take a few to rest here with me and consider being yourself, doing life your own way, and having that life you know you deserve.

I love sharing my own experiences and the lessons I've learned along the way with you.
Today, we're talking about how there will be sometimes when we need to stay home and rest. And, then there will be other times when we don't.
How can we honor our time, our families, our friends, and our own specific needs?
Settle in with me as I share some musings with you :)

"Hurry up, we are going to be late."
"I am in a hurry, I will catch you later."
"How are you? Life is busy…. Yours?"
These are some of the phrases I have probably said… and, the list could go on.
When I stay in the hurry mode for too long, I get frenzied, frustrated, and exhausted. Something I can’t “fake until I make it” through nearly as “good” as I used to.
So much of our hurry is self-imposed (sorry, not sorry) and today’s episode looks at it in a simple and sweet way. An empowering way to shift to where you want to be even more.

I “lost” my voice 5 days ago, and it is taking time to return.
So, for today, I'm sharing a “Throw Back Thursday” Episode…. From a year ago.
I have been talking about High Functioning Anxiety for a while now, but I want to take a few moments during November to talk more about it. When we don’t manage it, our holidays can take on a life of their own, leaving us depleted and worn out well before the New Year.
You can thank me later :)

We are all brave... We are.
“Just be brave” is something we either tell ourselves or a well-meaning adult tells us at some point along our road. Sometimes it lands well and we step more and more into “that brave girl” identity as we grow.
And, sometimes it can set us back a bit. I am more of a both/and girl, so there are days I feel brave and know it. And there are others where I don’t feel it at all, or not so much, and doubt it. And then there is the messy middle.
Listen in to today's episode- start to believe in, and live into your authentic bravery more!

I am a true clutter bug. I love collecting things, have a sentimental attachment to stuff, am a plant mom, and most of my house isn’t picked up on any given day.
What about you? Do you collect? Dump? Stuff? Donate?
Regardless, boxes are great for it all. Storing or donating. Sometimes, the boxes aren't literal... “live outside the box”, “Don’t put them in a box”, “Getting on my soapbox….”, etc.
Today, we're talking about boxes in a couple of metaphors (or analogies) that will get you to consider ditching some of the boxes we put others or ourselves in, or crappy thinking we simply need to “donate”.
Listen in and let me know what you think :)

Do you see retreats as a remedy for a hurried life?
If you are anything like me, you take your time deciding when to retreat. Sometimes, I have every excuse in the book.

Join me for today's episode, to hear more about it, and for 3 indicators you might need a retreat.

In today’s episode, I read a poem by Ev’Yan Whitney. And WOW.
How many times have you said to yourself “I am just too much _____” or “who does she think she is?”
This episode is a must-hear!
The poem is powerful and, my thought-provoking rambling after is also worth it!

Today, I decided to record as if I were walking in the woods with my dogs.
In this episode, you get the unedited, (maybe awkward) version of my thoughts on what can happen if you are not present with yourself.
We'll also talk about what to do when you are ready to stop ignoring yourself and start being present with yourself.
