Feel it to Heal It

January 29, 2024

FEEL IT TO HEAL IT. One of Mer's favorite expressions of how our emotions can be used as our compass of where to go next. Based on her own feeling in the moment, Mer walks us through how to acknowledge, allow, and then release and alchemize whatever emotion is moving through us.

Acceptance + Choice = a powerful recipe for growth

January 22, 2024

If you're feeling like you're resisting some part of your reality, this short episode + meditation is for you. Mer talks about how when she's feeling like she's either stuck in the past or future, which causes an impasse in the present, she does this exercise of "Acceptance + Choice" (which she explains in the pod. This exercise has helped many of her clients release expectations around a situation, see it for what it is, and step into empowered choice of what to do next. Which situation are you ready to accept fully? What becomes possible when you do?

Moving through life's changing seasons with grace

January 15, 2024

One of Mer's favorite quotes is "move through life's changes with grace and ease so you're never knocked too far off your centerpoint." Eileen joins Mer today to talk about her recent musings about her own life's changing season, how that brings Powerful Stuff into a new season, and everything in between. This episode is for all of you who are wondering when to let go of something, how to listen to the signs, and how to release things with grace because you'll never know how they'll re-enter your life. This episode is giving "soft girl era" meets "Powerful Stuff" to make some true "soft power." What things/relationships are falling away or changing in your life? How can you loosen your grip to allow them to morph into something brand new?

2023 Wisdoms: Wrapped!

December 25, 2023

Ok y'all. Meredith here reporting from my hometown of Houston, TX to give you my "2023 Wrapped" of my 7 wisdoms and musings from this last year that I've felt powerfully and that can hopefully be powerful for you too. I give personal anecdotes and break each of the 7 wisdoms down with questions you can ask yourself around each and we round out the episode with a meditation to help you get clear on what your "2023 Wrapped" is for your wisdoms. Getting clear on our takeaways of 2023 helps us prepare to welcome 2024.

Rejection doesn't exist!

December 18, 2023

REJECTION. We like to say this word doesn't exist. Rejection and failure are only rejection and failure if we don't take something from it, and use it to fuel our pivot and our path forward. Mer goes into how she found the silver lining after being eliminated during Red Light Green Light in Squid Games and Eileen goes into how a journey to India for her yoga teacher training unfolded in a way she did not expect. In both instances, Mer+Eileen note that the things that ended up going "awry" in the moment actually set them onto a path that cracked them open into their current reality. If you're feeling down about a situation that didn't go your way, fear not! This episode will help you find the silver linings and leave feeling more empowered than when you started listening!

Meditation: End 2023 the way you want to start 2024!

December 13, 2023

As we close out on the year, we are firm believers there is nothing better than ending this year the way you want to start next year.

Grab a journal and pen, and find a comfortable place to meditate. This is going to be POWERFUL!

Using Emotions as a Powerful Compass

December 11, 2023

How to combine worlds: a look into Mer's Bachelorette

How to Ceremonialize Anything

November 27, 2023

Ever wonder why you feel unsettled before, during, or after a pivotal life event? Ever think to yourself "if only I could commemorate this, understand the takeaways, and move on confidently to my next chapter?" Well, Eileen+Mer are here to help you add intention and POWER to anything you might be experiencing with this episode of "how to ceremonialize anything." They break down the key components of a ceremony, the importance of setting an intention and vocalizing it, and how ceremonies aren't just things you attend, they are actions you can take for any life event: a break up, moving into a new apartment, starting a new job, to help you feel grounded in past learnings and clear on how you want to feel in your next chapter. We hope you enjoy this episode- and let us know what you ceremonialize in your life and how it goes!

Releasing Expectation

November 13, 2023

Ex.Pect.Ation. Expectation. Mer + Eileen unpack this sneaky little emotion and talk about how to acknowledge our expectation and replace it with how we want to FEEL instead of how we want something to go. Be prepared to find expansive freedom on the other side of this episode!

Releasing Expectation

The ins and outs of Mer's FESTIVAL WEDDING

November 06, 2023

Mer+Eileen debrief on Mer's 4th wedding of the year (to the same man!), her festival wedding celebration by Ojai. Mer+Eileen talk about what Mer did to release expectations and obligations before the wedding and then give the tea on the flow of the wedding, so all the different worlds colliding in an experiential wedding would feel optimally excited and energized to enter into the Mermaid Spenergy (her wedding hashtag with her husband, Spencer ;p). If you're curious about how to plan a connective event that's true to you, look no further!

the elusive yet POWERFUL saturn return

November 06, 2023

Saturn Return. A word we’ve all heard about (at least us millennials in LA). It’s that special, crazy time between our late 20’s and early 30’s where we make our way through chaos and deep shedding to come home to who we were always meant to be. Mer + Eileen talk about their own Saturn Returns, how energy doesn’t lie, and how it can be scary- but is necessary- to step into the unknown to return to our POWER!

Own Your Story

October 23, 2023

We KNOW when it’s time to shed an old story - about ourselves, about what’s possible, about what we are ready to step into. It feels heavy and like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Today, we talk about what happens when we hold on to an old story for too long, how to shed it through looking at our deepest fears, and what becomes possible when we start to re-write and own our story!

What ERA are you in?

October 16, 2023

This is the EPISODE we have all been waiting for. As a commemoration for Taylor Swift being in LA for the Era’s tour, we take a psychological deep dive on Taylor Swift’s eras and how she truly has owned her story from the good, the bad, and the ugly, and how we can all “alchemize” the hard parts of our journey (like how she did when for REPUTATION to reclaim her story ) to trust in the unfolding bringing us to our next era. Buckle up, get ready to dive in. Are you ready for it?

What you trigger is triggering you

October 09, 2023

“What you trigger is triggering you.” In episode 3 of POWERFUL STUFF, Eileen and Mer talk energetics of feminine and masculine, how to step into our most embodied dynamics of both, and how to approach triggers with others from a place of curiosity and growth (easier said then done, but hey, we are doing our best!).

Heal Your Sunday Scaries

October 08, 2023

This is a short episode about the scaries we love to dread and dread to love, the SUNDAY SCARIES. As survivors recording this episode on the other side of Sunday Scaries (on a Monday!) Mer + Eileen talk about what causes Sunday Scaries, what their past experiences with Sunday Scaries are, and most importantly, how you can convert your anxiety from Sunday Scaries into aligned action to take back your peace and infuse it into the rest of your week!

Converting hardships to soil for a true full BLOOM

October 02, 2023

Sometimes the hard things were meant to happen in our lives to make us stronger and provide fertilizer for the soil of what we are ready to grow next. Coming out of a retreat they just hosted that they named “fullbloom,” in episode 2, Mer and Eileen talk about the seeds they’ve planted, hard times, or the “soil” that has been created, and what coming into their “full bloom” looks like. This episode begins to follow the signature arc of an intention setting and meditative moment, a deep dive around a concept and personal stories, and another meditative moment and reflective questions for the listener at the end. What is the seed that you’re planting in the next chapter? Let us know
