Hi, I'm Mercedesz...
... and just like you, I girlbossed a little too hard till my business ended up costing my well-being. Here's my story.
As someone who's always been competitive and high-achieving, it was only natural that I would end up in a high-pace, stressful career, where the rewards are similarly high.
Before turning 30, I was out-earning all my peers and felt like I'm the smartest person in the room. This was also the time when I felt most miserable in my life. I had all the reasons to be happy and content, yet it felt like I'm just the main character in a life that wasn't mine.
After a decade of love-hate relationship with my career, I quit consulting and the corporate world altogether and started my own business in tech. Surely enough, a few months into building a venture-backed million-dollar startup, the same old feeling came creeping back. But this time, my soul spoke louder than ever: I was disassociating during customer meetings, I lost my appetite and had serious troubles sleeping.
My life took a turn when I embarked on a spiritual journey and started focusing on what feels good when making decisions — decisions that are only right for me. It gave me the confidence to allow myself to work in ways that I never dared to do. I started reassessing what matters to me in life, learnt how to silence my inner critic and heal old wounds, redefined productivity and how it can look like and fuelled success in my business by feeling good.
Today, I help women create businesses that thrive without sacrificing their personal well-being. My job is to give my clients the tools they need to build their self-confidence, find their true source of passion and dare to question every advice they've ever received.
I believe that the there’s a way to build a business in a way that feels right without the hustle. That there is a version of every business that's LOVABLE.
