EP33 - Courage & Self-Discovery | Merritt Minnemeyer

Joining us this week is Meritt Minnemeyer, an executive coach who offers insights on aligning leadership actions with personal values. We explore the challenging journey of entrepreneurship in creative fields, reflecting on how maintaining focus through internal values can provide a sense of safety and purpose amidst life's pressures.

Meritt's upbringing in a family-run business environment shaped her unique perspective on creativity and executive leadership. Our conversation highlights the dynamic balance of ego and acceptance, reminding us of the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of finding peace in our journeys. Through inspiring stories, such as a client's transformative adventure of teaching English abroad in her 50s, we illustrate the power of incremental steps and the courage to pursue dreams regardless of age or circumstance.

Later in the episode, we explore the concept of “becoming”, emphasizing connection and fulfillment over numerical achievements. We discuss conscious leadership and self-inquiry as vital tools for aligning actions with true personal values, leading to a journey of continuous growth.
