    Sierra Sophia Mercier: Living a Joy-Filled Life Through Humor, Curiosity, and Fearless Exploration

    In this engaging episode of Happy Thrive Vibes, host Laura Maloney jumps into a lively conversation with Sierra Sophia Mercier, a multi-talented personality known for her diverse pursuits, from Muay Thai fighting to floral design. Sierra shares insights from her adventurous life and how humor, curiosity, and empathy have shaped her journey towards joy and fulfillment. Sierra's experiences span from being crowned Miss Mongolia in the Queen of the Universe Pageant to exploring the world with her husband through backpacking. She emphasizes the role of curiosity in expanding her horizons, both in her career and personal life, and credits her upbringing for instilling a fearless attitude towards exploration. The conversation highlights Sierra's belief that trying new things and maintaining a sense of humor are essential for personal growth and well-being. She reflects on her serious childhood and how embracing curiosity and laughter has transformed her perspective, leading to a more joyful existence. Sierra Mercier's Bio & Contact Info: I grew up in the beautiful, quiet town of Sun Valley, Idaho. There my athleticism was nurtured while racing downhill on the ski team, performing with the ballet school, as well as competing on ice for the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. Skating became my true passion and I pursued it full time, eventually leaving home at 16 on my own to train at a world class facility in Lake Arrowhead, California. I competed successfully at the elite level for over 10 years and became a Triple Gold Medalist with the US Figure Skating Association. Ultimately, however, my Olympic dreams were dashed by an unforgiving ankle injury. This detour in my career path lead me to discover my love of acting. I am a resident cast member of Los Angeles’s longest running live sketch comedy show, TMI Hollywood. I have 4 different digital series: Love Set Run is an inspiring travel series that my husband and I film and produce. Animal Medicine with Wise Mountain is my newest series sharing the practice of Native American Animal Medicine. True Love Lessons with Sierra is a series produced and distributed by Love TV wherein I share my tips and advice on love and relationships based on my own true love experience. It’s a Mouthful with The Taste Buds is a comedic food review show where my partner and I taste live on camera odd and obscure fruits and veggies. The show is sponsored by Imperfect Produce. My recently published book: “How To Attract Your Cosmic Love Partner” is my five-step guided workbook available on Amazon to help you become the most loving version of yourself to attract the most loving partner. Interesting facts about me… I am a senior level Muay Thai fighter having had my fighting debut in Las Vegas in 2010. I have also studied Hapkido, Kali, and dabbled in several other martial art forms including Taiji Quan and MMA. I am an award winning floral designer and the owner of Buddha Blooms. I am the crowned “Miss Congeniality” and “2013 Miss Mongolia” of the Queen of the Universe Pageant. In 2013, my husband Andre and I were the first ever winners of The Knot Dream Wedding, a $100,000 sponsored wedding prize package awarded to one lucky couple. At one brief point in my life, I was even a sushi chef. I’ve been a practicing Buddhist since 2008 and feel that this undercurrent of philosophy colors all my characters with a flavor of mysticism and sophistication.
