A big change has happened.
A global evolution you may not know about, but definitely have felt.
It challenges what we’ve been told to believe all our lives and it’s igniting a quiet uprising.

That change…is the move from the Age of Success to the Age of Integrity*.
And a move from old power to New Power. 

Phrases like “just do it”, “trust the process" and “skyrocket to success” aren’t landing anymore?

The final episode in this special edition series is me!  One of the biggest requests I get is 'can someone interview you Merilyn?'. So we did it. 

The amazing Karen Stanton hosted the interview. I had no clue what the questions were, so it's a very candid chat. 

I truly hope hearing my 'wow' inspires and encourages you. For more details and to see the video of this episode, go to merilyn.com AND.......

Today I’m 'showing off' Brandi Berkonskie. She's amazing. Truly brilliant at what she does and who she is. It can be a little hard to define Brandi as she'd definitely one of those multi talented, highly gifted Renaissance women.

She's currently digital strategist and CEO of three companies that help business owners elevate their online presence and enhance the whole digital experience. But she can’t be put ...

Now if there ever was a woman to 'show off' it would be my next guest: Belinda Thomas. She's so much fun in a 'serious world' of business. Belinda is a facilitator, mentor and consultant. She's also a rebel, and a complete badass (in her words too!).

If you look up the definition of 'mother archetype' in the dictionary, my next guest Laura Sweet would probably have her name there as an example. 

She's been a client of mine and has been active, nurturing, inspiring part of my Lead Your World community for a while, so it is with great pleasure that I get to 'show her off' today.

Laura Sweet is a writer and artist living on a small homestead in Northern Cali...

Oh my. My next guest, Karen Stanton is a powerful woman who has the most beautiful, down-to-earth, natural, easy-going energy about her. We've known each other for a few decades but lost touch (apart from social media). And I'm sooooo glad we used this special edition series to reconnect.

You'll be glad we did. As she's got SO much wisdom to encourage you with. 

Karen's bio is incredibly awe inspiring. She&ap...
