The Unhurried Life With Mercedes Saurbaugh

A digital content + community membership brought to you by Into The Woods

The Unhurried Life is your sanctuary for connection and growth so you can create the life you want, without the stress, overwhelm, and burnout.

What is an unhurried life?

It's peaceful productivity.

It's less frenzy, and more fulfillment.

It's ditching burnout and finding balance instead.

It's nurturing your strengths without sacrificing your sanity.

It's time to exhale and live the life you're meant to live.

I have lived it and see it daily with my clients.

You might be...

  • Cranking out that to-do list like a rockstar (or so you think), but running yourself ragged in the process

  • Being everything for everybody else, and never stopping to think about what you need

  • Feeling the stress, the busyness, the burnout, and having a hard time relaxing and being present at home because you constantly have a million things running through your brain (i.e. your never-ending to-do list). 

  • Canceling on yourself, but always feeling obligated to have full on “integrity” for everyone else.

  • Stuck in a constant rhythm of just having to “push through” because there’s never time to breathe

  • Right on the verge of total burnout, and you know something has to give

But, the problem with all this busyness, exhaustion, and daily grind is:

  • We weren’t designed this way.

  • We aren’t satisfied with most of what we are “doing”

  • Our body is yelling at us to just take stock a second

  • We are stressed out

  • We are starting to get resentful because everyone else around us seems so well taken care of and what about us?

So, why don’t we just all take a moment and press pause? 

Sounds simple, right? NOPE. 

I get it. The whole “slowing down and pumping the brakes to practice self-care” part doesn't come naturally for you — there’s too much to do. You wish you could turn it off, and slow down. But you’re not sure how. And how many times have you heard yourself saying “there’s just not enough hours in the day”?

Well, here’s the good news:

With The Unhurried Life, you not only get access to an amazing digital community and life-changing resources to help you recenter and find balance among the chaos of life, but you also get exclusive access to the Into The Woods spaces to help you step away from the busyness of life and carve out the space and time to intentionally nurture your own wellbeing.

Want to know another little secret?

Even though you might feel overworked and exhausted you’re still doing some really great things. 

You’re driven. You’re a doer. You’re a provider. A caregiver. A problem-solver. You love to learn and grow, and you would be surprised at all the tools and practices you already know that can help you stay just as driven and productive, but without all the angst and worry that creep up and rob you of your full potential. . 

All you need is a gentle, loving reminder, and a subtle shift in the way you live, and the way you care for yourself.

And here’s the best part.

You can...

  • Be productive AND present at the same time

  • Have a life full of meaning and purpose AND take time to rest

  • High functioning WITHOUT the “Anxiety” part

Hear me when I say - You don’t have to give up your productivity, goals, and plans. You just simply need to shift into taking action from:

  • Your strengths and what is natural for YOU

  • A place of knowing what you really want 

  • A place where you can practice going for it

In an unhurried way, that ignites your vital force.  

Okay, I am getting a little excited here…

Hi, I’m Mercedes!


Owner of Into The Woods and the creator of The Unhurried Life. I’m excited because I have been where you are — on a journey to ditch the exhaustion and life a full life. And let’s be honest, I’m  still learning how to slow down to speed up my impact. And, after trial and error, I keep coming back to this: I have been teaching authentic living for a LONG time and I feel like the “perfect” additional ingredient to the recipe of life is here in this membership -  The Unhurried Life.  Here is where I unlocked more of my potential and you can too. And, let’s face it- we all need more self-care, rest, and fun.

Women who take care of themselves and live into their authentic design create impact and the ripple effect to those they work with, do life with, and on to the next generations.

True contentment, connection, and fulfillment.


Here are a few things that have happened for my clients in 2022 alone, to prove it works!

  • She asked for a raise and got it (several ladies)

  • She communicated with her husband so much more clearly - and their connection grew

  • She “took a beat” to sit with her feelings and realized her optimal solution and plan of action at work (at home)

  • She upleveled her job status and role (more than one)

  • She hangs out with people who give her energy, not out of obligation.

  • She named her Inner Critic and is speaking from her heart now.

I love this work — for myself and for my clients.
There is a freedom in living from wholeness, authenticity, and our God-given power.

And, really, the solution is living an Unhurried Life. I also know that it is nearly impossible to achieve this on our own. We go back to autopilot, get “busy”, and before we know it we are back to our old standbys. 

So, I am excited to present to you:
The Unhurried Life

A membership full of meaning, mastery, and making connections. 

Think of it as a place to come — to rest, grow, connect when you want to, and add that “special something” to your life.

The membership is structured to flow from season to season. Each season will have new elements to help you get into that way of living.

Just what you need, when you need it.
