Her Unapologetic Life Podcast with Mercedes | Therapeutic Coaching for Women

Show notes: Let’s face it - we are stubborn, at least parts of our brains are. We want things to line up, receive many signs, and have proof that things are going to work out before we “decide” something. 

Today Mercedes shares a few things that might keep you stuck, and what to do about it after you identify them. You owe it to yourself and your future self to settle in a minute and get into that driver's seat.

Mercedes is back….. To share what happened after she decided to call it quits in the podcasting world. And, to inspire her audience to give themselves permission to change their minds, their hearts at any point along the journey.  Even if it seems like you are going backwards, there is always more to the story.

As 2023 draws to an end, Mercedes shares a letter- for you and for any lady leader who lives into the both/ and - the beautiful and the messy- on the daily. 

She also talks about pausing her podcast - at least in the traditional sense. She has been cooking up something that has the feel of our familiar social media hang-outs, but is away from the scroll, endless memes (although there might be some), and negativity. She is calling it -Into the Woods Hub. Come check it out here: intothewoods.mn.co 

In this Christmas season, and beyond, Mercedes extends gratitude for being here with her, and all the other women leaning into living her unapologetic life. 

See you inside the Into the Woods Hub!

Today, Mercedes brings us into the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ with this episode on self-compassion. She shares her own journey into self-reflection this season, as she decides not to ignore the call for self-compassion.  And self-care. This is the season we give, connect, share, grieve, fight exhausting…. All the things. Mercedes is here to remind us that when we have self-compassion, we don’t need to merely survive the season. 

This is Mercedes’ last month of the podcast for now - you can find her in her new community - Into the Woods Hub, where you can find out events, happenings, and there will be an internal “podcast”. It is free - and Mercedes loves her digital community away from the scrolling of Social Media - check it out in 2024: intothewoods.mn.co

For this episode, Mercedes was looking for a communication expert. Someone who could give us some amazing pointers on how to communicate with ourselves for transformation and that purposeful life we all want. Mercedes happens to know a few. Then something happened. In her sessions and time with the women in her life (including herself) a theme and topic kept coming up. It had to do with chronic verbal abuse, berating, underhanded comments, and put-downs. So, she is showing up today to share what she is hearing and seeing - and to propose that an expert might not be who we need to hear from right now, and we are being called to hear from someone else.

Listen in to solve this mystery.

As we round the bend to the holidays again this year, now is a good time as any to focus, or refocus on our communication. Anytime is- so whenever this one pops into your life - it is the perfect time. 

Are you one to shy away from “conflict”? Whether it be setting boundaries verbally or having that crucial conversation? Today’s episode scratches the surface of communication, but as the holidays approach, we often hit autopilot and then pile on a few more things. Listen in and choose to lean more into healthy communication today.

Today’s guest, Koree Ritter, is a powerhouse and one of the sweetest people I know.  Koree is a Strategic Marketing Consultant who helps purpose-driven service providers and small business owners solidify their strategy and plan their marketing so they can take action on their ideas, grow their business, and create more good in the world. She managed more than a few of my projects and really helped me define my brand these last couple of years.  She loved the concept of “peaceful productivity” after my client shared it. We both really resonated with it!

Today, we talk about a convo we had this past summer, and are sharing what Koree has learned about peaceful productivity over these last months and how she is embodying both peace and productivity. She will share a few nuggets of wisdom to help us all lean more into Peaceful Productivity.

You might be wondering how the word “peaceful” and “productivity” can actually go together? Awhile back, I was having lunch with a client and she coined the term “peaceful productivity” when talking about what she was really wanting in the next season - and for her life in general tbh. We sat with that a little that day, and from there, Mercedes has spent more time talking with her clients and her friend about what that can even mean.

Peaceful Productivity is the theme inside her membership, The Unhurried Life (wow- that really is congruent…) and she is here today to elaborate for them.  And for you.  What Peaceful Productivity is, and why the heck would you even want to go for it?
