saying YES to Your True Self with Mercedes Kiss

Hello friends!  This week on the say YES to your yourself! podcast Wendy talks with artist and special guest Mercedes Kiss. In this gorgeous conversation they talk about the gift of new friends that feel like lifelong ones, and how our energy can be instantly aligned to another.

Wendy and Mercedes talk about the unconditional love of pets and the parallel they have in teaching us about creating harmony, owning our experience and speaking up for what is sustainable for ourselves. Mercedes shares about a trip to Costa Rica that reconnected herself to what felt correct and true for her, and how this experience led her on a new path. Through that experience she gave herself permission to say ‘if that isn’t right, stop doing it!’. Mercedes made a pivot and consciously chose to say YES to her truth, and to a life full of color and vibrancy.
