Her Unapologetic Life Podcast with Mercedes | Therapeutic Coaching for Women

Hey, Good Looking, whatcha got cooking? Remember the saying “garbage in, garbage out?” Well…. When it comes to home cooking, real, nourishing, satisfying, delicious food… it up levels us so much.  In this episode, you can hear the passion in my voice, and my FIRSTHAND experience in the magic of home cooking. No exaggeration!  If you have been holding onto the key of indecision when giving yourself...

“Exercise” is the only word I used for a really long time. Back in the day when I would trade time for calories, I saw it as a chore and sometimes even as a punishment. Fast forward to today, I just got back from a vaca where movement was fun and exactly what I loved. Hiking and sightseeing in nature. Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons did not disappoint!  And, I felt strong. We all have a long-term...

HEALTH is such a buzz word and we all have our own take on “it” and on the remedies out there.  And, I am most curious about your take on YOUR own health. This week’s podcast is all about looking at that part of our life from what WE want and deciding what OUR version of a healthy summer looks like. Have a listen, then leave me a review here or comment in the Her Unapologetic Life community and le...

What “kind” of Summer do you want? What is on YOUR bucket list? To make it more fun, and, well... To allow you to be more present, have more joy, you name it... I have created a summer series with a few things in mind. In today's episode, I'm laying it all out for you. So, grab your earbuds, pet, or your favorite recipe and take some time for yourself. Keep your eyes open in the Her Unapologetic L...

Today, we're wrapping up this month’s theme - living the both/and life and I wanted to share with you an area of my life that has been rich and so full of growth. In this episode, I am telling it from my experience and answering some of the common questions  I get from people in my life, potential clients, and honestly, from myself over the years. If you'd like to learn more or just connect, let's...

Do you ever feel like you need a perspective shift? These days there are plenty of voices offering perspectives, and sometimes it just gets to be too much. Ever since I have been looking at life through what I (and others)  call the “Both/and” lens, I can’t help but look at life differently. In this episode, I talk about some of the both/and’s on my list days and why you can have a list too.  Also...

Do you see yourself as a mompreneur? Living the both/and life as a mompreneur is intense and rewarding. Today, I'm sharing an interview with 3 MLM mompreneurs, Chris Roencrans ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010889777361 ), Janell Maas ( https://www.facebook.com/janell.maas ), and Sara Holwerda ( https://www.facebook.com/sara.holwerda ). Business+Community+family life. All things that...

Life really is a both/and. The both/and life is a simple way to change your perspective. Both work and home, both happy and sad, both alone time and time with people…. It keeps us out of the extremes. In today's episode, we'll talk about how we can get a better understanding of what this “both/and” lifestyle is and embrace the whole of life.   If you want to dive deeper into living the both/and li...

In today's episode, we're talking all about the ugly side of stories…. the ugly side of life. We don't always get happy endings. I have been noticing a lot of people working out their trauma, woundings, anger… or, whatever is triggering them, on social media, in relationships, and right down to the way they think about life. It's not always pretty... So, how do we deal with the ugly parts of the s...

In today’s episode, we're talking about those inevitable plot twists in life, and I remind us all that we have a choice. We can choose path A — it seems predictable and safe. Or we can choose path B — which looks very intriguing, yet really unknown. We will have plot twists in this life. Life really does happen after we make plans.  But, that doesn't mean we just give in and allow life to pull us...

I love hearing about how much better my clients feel when we are working together. And, I really love seeing past clients around and that they have kept their “success story” going! Today, let's dive deeper into what happens when we allow someone else to be the narrator or write part of our story... and when we do that for someone else. We just have to say yes to being ourselves, being the main ch...

In your life, what is fiction, and what is non-fiction? Today we will talk about how you want to live out and tell your story.  How do we live into our reality, and not have it be “just a story”, as if it has no truth? Grab a warm drink and join me for this in-depth conversation about YOUR story.   ------- Join us in an ongoing conversation in the Her Unapologetic Life Community on Facebook! Music...

It's a new month and we are going to look at story from the lens of YOUR story.  This week I talk about a book I read recently, Hero On a Mission, by Donald Miller.  It's not quite a beach read but it's a great reminder of who I want to be on my journey.  Join me, as we start to talk about story, and the roles we get to decide to play. Our stories don’t always have happy endings, but if we can gra...

Today's episode has a lot to do with when we stay in indecision, confusion, and get stuck. I spent far too much time in indecision. Overthinking, people-pleasing, fearing I would make the “wrong” choice (hello Perfectionism) kept me in that space far too long.  Each decision I didn’t make was really a decision to stay stuck.  On the road to freedom, there have been a few curves. Today, let's talk...

Let's talk about what "listening to your intuition" even means. What does life look like when living that way? Intuition is something we all want more access to and we all have equal opportunities to access it.  Today, I'm giving you a number of the ways my clients and I are igniting our Intuition. Listen to the masterclass in the Her Unapologetic Life community ! Music: https://www.purple-planet....

We're kicking off this month talking about Intuition. Today, we're diving more into what intuition is NOT. This topic is perfect for everyone because it is a key to freedom.   If we are able to tune in to ourselves and our soul's code, then we are really going to have more intimacy… more of all the nourishing stuff. Look out for the upcoming masterclass in the Her Unapologetic Life community ! Mus...

Today, we're talking with Melisa who is an Intimacy coach that helps women 10x their abundance. I believe that when we connect to our Divine Feminine - that part of ourselves that has that deep knowing and connection to Divine, we will have deeper intimacy. We are here for a purpose... I loved talking with Melisa about how she is living into hers.   You can find Melisa in the Women Manifesting Int...

Happy Self-Love day! Now that I am talking about intimacy, I see the word all the time. The consensus is we need more of it, we want more of it, but are we in a place to really go after it? Today, we continue with intimacy, and we are going to go there :)   Join the Her Unapologetic Life Facebook Community .   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

With Valentine's day around the corner, today, we're talking about intimacy. What do you think of when you hear the word “intimacy”? A lot of times, our minds go straight to our significant other and romantic love but, intimacy is also a huge part of self-love. Join me today, as I ask enough questions to get the ball rolling towards deeper and healthier intimacy with yourself, and others (as a maj...

I'm bringing some Big, God-sized love to you in today’s episode.  Believing we deserve to be loved and to love OURSELVES the same way God loves us is foundational to…. Everything. Love is essential to our survival.  And, when we love ourselves from that unconditional, agape love, we will not just survive, we will thrive. Words just don’t do justice for the love I want you to feel - from God and fr...
