Susan welcomes Nicola Mercer to today's episode. Nicola is a transformational health coach, supporting women in business to transform their health into wealth by building confidence and self-worth using her successful framework of mindset, movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress. Her vision is to help normalize a healthy lifestyle for families, so kids grow up having healthy habits modeled to them, value themselves, and live with health and happiness.

She combines her corporate leadership experience with her journey of living with mental and physical health challenges to support other women to build healthy, happy, and strong lives.

Nicola has learned through the power of moving her body daily and putting sustainable habits in place the positive difference this can make to how you feel, think, and live. She advocates that living a great life and achieving the success you desire results from how you take care of your mind, body, and soul.
