Rawish with Kate Eckman

This week, I’m bringing on someone who has been an absolute game-changer in my life. Mercy Simon is a psychic medium and intuitive coach with a gift so extraordinary that I struggle to put it into words. But what I can say is this: she’s helped me work through some of my biggest challenges and reconnect with my power in ways I never thought possible. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like the world is just too much right now, this conversation is for you.

Mercy and I dive into the real, raw truth about letting go — of fear, judgment, and relationships that don’t empower us anymore. She explains how shame keeps us disconnected from ourselves, and offers practical ways to release it so we can step into our intuition and authenticity. We also explore what it means to surrender, trust a higher consciousness, and tap into the inner wisdom we all have but rarely use.

I left this conversation feeling inspired and ready to keep showing up for myself — and I know you will, too. Mercy’s guidance is equal parts grounding and empowering, and she delivers it all with so much compassion and clarity. If you’re ready to stop judging yourself and start owning your unique power, tune in now.
