Recovering people pleasers, good girls, anyone putting others before themselves…. Tune in to this one. I am interviewing my new COO, and one of my besties - Amanda Brouwer. This conversation will give you nuggets of wisdom and will flip your script of not wanting to disappoint others. Imagine “next level” quitting the people pleasing - you will have a higher quality of life - and those around you who love you will too.

Quality of life has been a priority for Mercedes these days, and she has learned a lot from her own experiences and those of her client’s along the way.  While we often want to have more rich, present, and meaningful experiences in our lives, we don’t always “go for it”. In today’s episode, Mercedes inspires us by giving us a simple road map - 3 ideas to consider - to step out of the busyness and into the savor.

This is true mind, body, Spirit living here.

This past bit, I have been more selective with how I spend my time, and who I spend it with… and have shifted more into quality over quantity.

Disclaimer here - if I or someone doesn’t spend time with you - it doesn’t mean you aren’t the quality others are looking for…. Wanted to put that out there because for me,  85% of the engagements and people I don’t go to or get to see is because I don’t have the capacity. And I realized that too late. So, I have to slow it down to get quality… but more on that as we go along here.

So, what is quality over quantity to you?

Over this past year, Mercedes has been vision casting and creating connection between the 2 “wings” of her business. Businesses choose many different ways to practice, and Mercedes wanted to continue offering 1:1 services, reach more women via her digital and online community. But- wanted to also let everyone know that Into the Woods is so much more than a rental property. 

She felt inspired to talk about it- in the raw- and thought it would be fitting to share it here- with her listeners. Into the Woods offers whole-life wellness spaces and transformative experiences. Needing space and time for retreating? Individuals, small groups, businesses, and families all have opportunities for this on the 30 acre property. 

Have a listen- and if you have been needing a local (or not so local) getaway - Into the Woods is there, a beautiful wooded property overlooking Pigeon River with 2 creeks running through it.

Mercedes started using symbolism and imagery -  and ways to tap into her client’s creativity and spirituality to accelerate and deepen her client’s growth and healing. She wansn’t formally trained at first, but over the years continued to seek ways to help her clients connect with their whole selves. Sandtray, collages, and then vision boards…. She kept learning. Imagery and symbolism are part of our soul’s language, and she expands on the ways she has found healing for herself and her clients. Do you want to be next?
