This episode is your permission slip to stop living in your head and start living in your body again. We’re going deep into why embracing your sensuality isn’t frivolous or self-indulgent; it’s the gateway to confidence, creativity, and a presence people feel before you even speak.

You’ll learn how to shift from performing your life to embodying it… how to unlock the kind of magnetism that isn’t forced… and how to build real self-trust by listening to your body instead of overriding it.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, muted, or stuck in your own overthinking, this episode will help you come back home to yourself; to the version of you who is grounded, expressive, and impossible to ignore.

And by the end, you’ll have a simple 60-second practice you can use daily to return to your power, your desire, and your truth ... anytime, anywhere.

As the holiday season rolls in, so do the opinions: loud, loving, unsolicited, and often rooted in someone else’s fears. In this episode, we’re stripping advice down to its naked truth: most of what people tell you has nothing to do with your potential… and everything to do with their limitations.

I’m diving into why letting the wrong voices inside your head is dangerous, how fear-based guidance becomes the ceiling you keep bumping your head against, and how to tell when someone’s “concern” is actually projection in disguise.

You’ll learn:

• why advice is never neutral
• how to spot the difference between guidance and insecurity
• why you should only take direction from people living the life you want
• how to protect your vision from well-meaning sabotage
• how to stay grounded and confident around family, friends, and anyone who can’t see your future

If you’re ready to stop shrinking your dreams to fit someone else’s comfort zone, this episode is your reminder and your permission slip to choose discernment over noise.

Your evolution requires boundaries.
Your vision deserves protection.
And your future self is counting on you to listen wisely.

You call it overreacting.
They call it being sensitive.
But what if that emotional response the one that catches you off guard, tightens your chest, or makes you want to disappear is actually sacred?

In this episode of Doses of Her, we enter Trigger Season that raw, revealing space where life doesn’t just provoke you… it teaches you.

Merilou unpacks what your reactions are really rooted in, why the people who “set you off” are often mirroring something deeper, and how to stop abandoning yourself when you need you the most.

This isn’t about avoiding triggers.
It’s about walking through them, like portals, back to the version of you that’s been waiting to be reclaimed.

If you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too emotional, or too overwhelmed to explain yourself... this episode will feel like a mirror you didn’t know you needed.

Let this be your permission to listen deeper.
And to finally hear what your reaction has been trying to say all along.

You’ve spent years bending, shrinking, and silencing your truth just to feel loved. But at what cost?

In this raw and intimate episode of Doses of Her, I’m opening up about the ways we abandon ourselves in relationships and how I stopped. After my recent breakup, I realized how deeply I was negotiating my needs, my peace, and my worth. This episode is your invitation to stop doing the same.

If you've ever called yourself the "easygoing one," the peacemaker, the ride-or-die then this is for you. We’re redefining what it means to be soft and sacred, kind and clear, loving and rooted in your power.

✨ In this episode, we dive into:

• The hidden cost of self-abandonment
• How to identify your non-negotiables
• The problem with being “low-maintenance” in love
• Why softness is not the same as self-sacrifice

Your voice is valid. Your desires are divine. And you, my love, are no longer up for negotiation.

What am I no longer willing to negotiate?

🎧 Press play now and step into your soft, but unshakable era.

You think it’s them. But it’s probably your expectations.

In this soul-stirring episode of Doses of Her, we’re breaking down the silent sabotage that happens when your peace depends on how others show up. From love to career to self-worth, expectations are the invisible strings pulling your emotions and keeping you small.

You’ll hear the exact moment I realized I wasn’t upset with him; I was disappointed by a script I didn’t even know I was following.

We dive deep into:

• Why emotional maturity in others can trigger your inner control freak
• The difference between being “needed” and being truly seen
• What to do when your peace is tied to someone else’s behavior
• How releasing expectations doesn’t mean lowering your standards
• The practice of pouring back into you when you’re depleted from giving

This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a mirror. And if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep ending up here?”, you need this one.

Because freedom doesn’t come from controlling outcomes.
It comes from letting go of who you thought you needed to be and reclaiming your right to move through life unbothered, untied, and fully you.

You’ve been told to “just be confident.”
To manifest more belief in yourself.
To silence your imposter syndrome with affirmations, mindset work, or another damn certification.

But what if confidence isn’t the cure?

In this raw and unapologetic debut episode of Doses of Her, Merilou exposes the truth about imposter syndrome that most self-help circles won’t say out loud:

Confidence is a byproduct. 

Audacity is the catalyst.

If you’ve ever walked into the room and questioned your worth…
If you’ve ever diluted your bio, downplayed your magic, or held your tongue so others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable…
If you’re smart, emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and still shrinking ...
This episode is a sacred wake-up call.

Inside, we unpack:

• Why high-achieving women with high EQ feel imposter syndrome more (not less)
• The sneaky ways self-doubt hides behind humility and people-pleasing
• What “audacity” really looks like and why it’s not arrogance
• A bold reframe that will help you act before you feel ready
• The one question to ask yourself when imposter syndrome creeps in

This isn’t just a mindset shift; it’s a reclamation.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And your audacity? That’s not a flaw. It’s your medicine.

Merilou opens her heart and invites you to remember your own; reminding you that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about returning home to yourself.
