    <title>The Resilient Entrepreneur with Michelle Mercier</title>
    <description>Ever found yourself wanting to throw in the towel?  Or wondering...who actually succeeds at this entrepreneur thing?!  Well...you&apos;ve come to the right place!

In 2016, I made the bold decision to walk away from the corporate space  to build my dream business. Little did I know that I&apos;d be building it alongside two amazing but medically complicated children, debt up to my eyeballs and two life changing diagnoses of my own. 
 
Fast forward to today - I now have two flourishing businesses, a healthy family and am loving my life!  If I can do it....so can you!
 
In this podcast, I&apos;ll share all my lessons learned along the way, as well as interview other entrepreneurs who have succeeded despite adversity. We’ll help you cultivate the right business knowledge and soft skills to succeed on your entrepreneurial journey.

This show is for the entrepreneur who has an incredible vision to bring to the world and is determined to see it through no matter what life throws at them!  Are you up to the challenge?!</description>

      <itunes:summary>This is one of my all-time favorite episodes!!  Do. Not. Miss. It!

The New Year is almost upon us…and so is the “new year, new you” marketing. We’re taking a fresh look at this concept, as well as goal setting with today’s guest, Tara McMullin. 

Tara has recently published an incredible new book entitled: “What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal Setting.”

We discuss topics such as the: 
•	Challenge that occurs when you base your identity on your accomplishments
•	Dichotomy of personal types when it comes to goal setting
•	Question of “What does growth without striving look like?”
•	Difference between “achievement orientation” vs. “practice orientation.”
•	Approach you can take going into the new year that will work for YOU
•	Mental Health Stigmas that stop us from appreciating people’s uniqueness</itunes:summary>

I’m a huge proponent of detaching your personal self-worth from the outcome of your business.  What I’m not a fan of and believe actually puts you at a disadvantage in business is treating the parts that make us human (aka emotions) like they don’t belong. It’s been proven time and time again that things like compassion, removing limiting beliefs, creating resilience, self-awareness, etc. can help you succeed in business.  When are we going to see our emotions as superpowers and not as weaknesses?</p><p>Looking to hire Michelle as a coach, consultant, or speaker?

These pop ups are transformative adventures that are experienced both live and virtually.</p><p>The evolution of the Mystical Popups has led to “Friday Night Flights.” These flights are a tasting menu of three practitioners of your choice, an opportunity to experiment with three different types of magic to see what resonates with you.</p><p><strong>Connect with Marisa</strong></p><p>Website - <a href="http://www.healingpointtherapeutics.com">www.healingpointtherapeutics.com</a> or <a href="www.marisafanelli.com" target="_blank">www.marisafanelli.com</a></p><p>Instagram - <a href="www.instagram.com/healingpointtherapeutics" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/healingpointtherapeutics</a></p><p>Facebook GROUP- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/HolisticEntrepreneur">https://www.facebook.com/groups/HolisticEntrepreneur</a></p><p>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HealingPointTherapeutics" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HealingPointTherapeutics</a></p><p>~</p><p><strong>Connect with Michelle Mercier!</strong></p><p><strong>Join the Surviving Entrepreneurship Community - </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/215857859592242/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/215857859592242/</a></p><p>Website - <a href="https://www.CreateHonesty.com" target="_blank">https://www.CreateHonesty.com</a></p><p>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/michelle.mercierRE" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/michelle.mercierRE</a></p><p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/CreateHonesty" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/CreateHonesty</a></p><p>LinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/merciermichelle/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/merciermichelle/</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>It’s almost here…..this is episode number 98! 🎉

What is the number one thing that I’ve found missing from manifestation or believing in the law of attraction? ACTION! 

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Marisa Fanelli who is the owner of Healing Point Therapeutics and a self proclaimed “mystic curator.” Marisa primarily works with practitioners who offer modalities that tap into the mind and spirit. She has an extremely interesting take on what is missing on the business side where people will often use the phrase “it just wasn’t meant to be” as an excuse when they haven’t done the work. With manifestation, it’s not enough to just put the intention out there - you need to work for it! </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>What do you get when you combine psychedelic therapeutic use, making millions and an existential crisis?! You get an incredible story of self discovery!

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with Doug Cartwright who describes a journey like none other. Doug speaks to us about how he made millions by his early 20s and what led to him losing it. He also walks us through leaving his lifelong religion of Mormonism and stepping into a journey of existential exploration. Doug is a remarkable human being who has leveraged the ancient wisdom of psychedelic therapies to help him work through trauma, remove limiting beliefs and so much more. Because of Doug’s journey - he was able to step into the role of CEO &amp; Founder of his latest company (the Daily Shifts) with his priorities in the appropriate place. He also has a new book coming out on August 10th (Holy Sh!t, We’re Alive) that was sparked by his existential exploration, as well as his deep appreciation for life. </itunes:summary>

We speak in detail about how she made such a brave decision, as well as how her product is setting the bar a lot higher than your normal, run of the mill hand sanitizer due to its focus on sustainability, design, ingredients and so much more! </itunes:subtitle>

      <itunes:summary>What is missing from a typical strategic business plan?! 

On today’s episode, I’m talking about why I can’t stand it when people say things like “it’s business, don’t take it personally” or when they try to separate the human aspect out of the workplace. I’m a huge proponent of detaching your personal self-worth from the outcome of your business.  What I’m not a fan of and believe actually puts you at a disadvantage in business is treating the parts that make us human (aka emotions) like they don’t belong. It’s been proven time and time again that things like compassion, removing limiting beliefs, creating resilience, self-awareness, etc. can help you succeed in business.  When are we going to see our emotions as superpowers and not as weaknesses?</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Did you know that your pelvis plays a HUGE role in how you physically &amp; energetically show up in this world? Not going to lie….I had no idea!

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with Amy Lee who is a visceral manipulation specialist, energy healer and pelvic wellness warrior.  Staying mentally &amp; physically fit is detrimental to being a successful entrepreneur.  Amy speaks to us about a part of the body that is overlooked quite often by modern medicine - the pelvis. Not only does the pelvis impact you energetically but it plays a HUGE part in many of your physical functions. This episode taught me a ton and I know you’ll benefit from the conversation, too.

**Trigger Warning - there is mention of rape and some other things in this episode.** 

**Disclaimer - Amy &amp; I are not doctors. The information on this podcast is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. **</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Can we stop aligning the word “hustle” with entrepreneurship?   

On today’s episode, I’m speaking about how I believe that hustle is reserved for seasons of your entrepreneurship journey NOT your way of being. We need to move away from the “badge of busy” and toward an emphasis on flow.  You can choose to ramp up (hustle) for a particular project, launch, etc but make sure you’re checking back in to ensure you’ve come back to the baseline of flow.  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>On today’s episode, I’m speaking about a topic that has popped up multiple times over the past month. It’s come up amongst friends, in my journal prompts and even on other podcasts! The topic is play. I don’t know about you, but I’ve forgotten how to do it and it sounds like I’m not alone!

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with Amy Stanton, co-author of “The Feminine Revolution: 21 Ways to Ignite the Power of Your Femininity for a Brighter Life and a Better World.” Feminine traits (sensitivity, compassion, intuition, etc) have been mischaracterized as weak, fragile or diminutive.  Our conversation speaks to why there needs to be a call to arms to reframe them as the superpowers. This conversation is NOT about bashing the masculine or which set of traits is better. Rather, it’s focused on how we can bring equal weight to both and allow people (male or female) to step into their true selves - personally &amp; professionally. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Can you imagine a world where ALL women are educated about money and empowered to be financially independent? It’s hard to imagine especially in light of so many women leaving the workforce because of the pressure brought on by the pandemic. 

On today’s episode, I’m welcoming Samantha Ettus to the Money Mindset Month lineup!  Sam is a dedicated champion of women and has devoted her career to advocating &amp; supporting women in the pursuit of their dreams. She’s also disrupting the credit card processing industry with her company - Park Place Payments - a company made for women by a woman. We have an open conversation about why there is no better time for women to be learning and speaking about financial independence. It’s time to level the playing field, build strong PARTNERSHIPS in the home and bring women to the financial table. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>On today’s mini episode, I’m discussing something I see entrepreneurs do all the time - attach their self worth to the success of their business. Many times, we create businesses because we’re passionate about the product and it feels like an extension of us. The challenge comes when you begin to define yourself based on the success of your business. Over the years, I’ve begun to enjoy the process or journey MORE than the outcome which has allowed me to detach from the sales closed, likes on social, etc. In doing so, I’ve stepped more fully into my role as a business owner &amp; CEO….and you can, too! </itunes:summary>

On today’s episode, I welcome Nicole Lewis-Keeber to the show to speak about the importance of examining how your past experiences are showing up in your business. Nicole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience as a therapist. We speak about how much of society focuses on only one kind of trauma when there are actually two (big t &amp; small t). Nicole educates us on the impact of small t trauma on businesses, as well as the importance of combining therapeutic processes with business coaching to help entrepreneurs build emotionally sustainable and financially stable businesses. We also dive into what the “other side” of pandemic living will look like, as well as how that will impact business.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>On today’s mini episode, I’m discussing one of my favorite quotes - “There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” This quote is by Alan Cohen and is extremely powerful especially in today’s 24/7 society. Sometimes, it feels counterintuitive to rest when you have a ton of work to get done. But here’s the thing….the part of your brain responsible for creative ideas, problem solving, etc. only activates when you’re in a chilled out state. That’s why the best ideas can come in the shower! This episode is a great reminder of why allowing rest into your business plan can help bring your business (and life) to the next level. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Did you know the subconscious mind is responsible for 95% of your brain power? That means, on any given day, your actions could be driven by old, limiting beliefs….without you even knowing it! Woah!

On today’s episode, I speak with Cyrina Talbott about how the subconscious mind could be sabotaging your road to success. Cyrina takes us through her process of using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) where she helps entrepreneurs release years of unhealthy beliefs in a very short amount of time- without reliving the past. RTT transforms your old beliefs into new powerful programming so you are able to move forward in a healthy way. This practice is rooted in science and is a powerful way to get unstuck in your business. As someone who has greatly benefited from RTT - I can attest firsthand...that this is an episode you won’t want to miss! </itunes:summary>

We take a deep dive into their new book “ASK! The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny” and uncover the power of asking. Crystal &amp; Mark also talk about the ripple effect asking questions can have on your life and the lives of others. You’ll learn how asking questions can provide you with the strength to change your life for the better. We also speak about the different roadblocks that prevent people from asking and stepping into their full potential. </itunes:subtitle>

The pandemic has given us all time to pause and rethink about the way we approach our customers, employees and other stakeholders. This episode will provide you with the  food for thought that will set you apart in the marketplace and allow you to stand consistently in your mission.  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>What happens when there are SO many competing priorities that self care feels unattainable?  

To some, practicing self care can feel like a catch 22 scenario - ie. you have to take time from your family or business to practice it BUT if you don&apos;t practice it you can&apos;t show up at 100% for your family or business. Around and around we go. This conundrum seriously hurts my brain sometimes especially during the holiday season. 

On today&apos;s show, I give you an inside look into how I personally view self care, as well as how I help clients carve out the time they need to recharge despite a laundry list of competing priorities.  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>What is the #1 thing that sets successful companies &amp; teams apart from all the rest? In my opinion, the answer to that question is (without a doubt) the leadership. Specifically, a leader or leadership team that walks fully in step alongside the vision and mission of the company. One that practices servant leadership and does not put themselves on a untouchable pedestal above everyone else. 

I&apos;m beyond blessed to be joined by the incredible JM Ryerson on today&apos;s show.  JM is a Mental Performance Coach, as well as the CEO/Co-Founder of Let&apos;s Go Win. He&apos;s here to share his personal journey through the ups and downs of leadership as well as all the incredible lessons he&apos;s learned along the way.  

From servant leadership to conquering your ego to dispelling the &quot;lonely at the top&quot; mentality....we&apos;re covering off on all the key points of what it means to show up authentically as a leader in today&apos;s world.
