Expansive, Growth-Focused Coaching to Move You From Uncertain to Unblocked and Living in
Authentic Purpose in Your Life and Calling

If you are here - you are not new to the personal development journey. You are on a quest to find that “perfect” plan to experience contentment and fulfilled purpose. AND you also know that you need support to make this happen to create the success you have been dreaming of. 

But let me guess… That people-pleasing inner critic is holding you back from living up to that fully aligned, authentic version of yourself.

You know that authentic version of yourself is there! She’s just buried under other people’s needs, wants, and haves — that have become your responsibility to fulfill.

So, let’s go from overwhelmed and unfulfilled to
purposefully satisfied and empowered
— in your life and in your business!

Hey, ambitious lady, I see you!

We think the answer lies in more strategy, more planning, more self-help books on the HOW. If we could just “stay in action” everything would be “perfect”.  

But the secret isn't doing more, driving harder, checking off yet another to do list. It also isn’t…

  • Giving control over to your inner critic and having to always get it right.

  • Waiting to take the trip or buy the clothes until “the perfect time” or the perfect size.

  • Putting everyone else first (people pleasers, I’m looking at you)

  • Distracting yourself with another podcast, Netflix series, or that glass of wine to drown out and avoid your own thoughts and self-doubts.

  • Pretending you’re not bored or uninspired (do you know or remember what lights your fire?)

  • Waiting for permission from someone, anyone to make that decision.

  • Comparing yourself to “her” and wondering why she makes it look so easy.

I can see that searching look in your eye and your  “I’m okay, it could be worse” smile isn’t fooling me.   Don’t you wish you could just stop with the overthinking and stalling?

If you keep amping up your brain, ignoring your body, and pushing forward - something will have to give.  And trust me, it will.  The daily grind will take over and before you know it, you are on that hamster wheel.  Stressful days, only to wake up to a racing heart, feeling drained, looking for coffee, and who has time for that nutritious breakfast?

I want you to know that you don’t need another book, a decade of therapy, or a “perfect” plan to get there. You just need an experienced guide to help you set your course, map out your journey, and trust that you got this.

You really do know the way.
I'd love to support you in your journey to uncover your most authentic, empowered self.

“When I signed on with Mercedes I felt stuck and knew I needed a “new” direction. I was stressed out all the time, wondering about my job, and doubting my strengths. 

Mercedes pushes me gently, has insight, creates a warm and inviting space, and has positive energy.  She has helped me to gain confidence, take action, have more direction, live into my call, and help me figure out my strengths.  

 I am excited to say I now own that I am a strong and good leader!”
