    5-017: Come Out of Hiding (Season 5 Finale)

    HELLO SEASON 5 FINALE! It's hard to believe this season is already coming to a close, but we promise it's not without some exciting news and a great final episode!

    If you've been following along throughout season 5, you know that owning your truth, reclaiming your agency and allowing your true self to shine have been common themes of conversation.

    Today, let's consider the parts of yourself that you hide from those around you. Not because you have to. Not because you want to, but because at some point in your life, a narrative was created that caused you to doubt and fear that people won't accept you for who you are. Can you identify that moment? How far back does it go?

    Join us as we dive into what 'Come Out of Hiding' means for us both in this next season and enjoy an exclusive sneak peek from Dr. Merry about her new & upcoming project!

    You won't want to miss it!

    5-016: Filter Out the Noise

    Have you ever wondered if your gut feelings are real or just a myth?

    On today’s episode, Dr.Merry is going to her happy place and bringing us the science behind ‘gut feelings’. She helps us to understand what happens inside our body when that gut feeling kicks in, and what else we need to be aware of. 


    Are gut feelings real? 
    Can they be relied on at all times? 
    Are they present-focused, future-focused or can they be both? 
    Are gut feelings ever wrong? 
    What is “The Wise Mind” and how do our emotions play a factor in this? 

    As promised, we’ve included a great resource from this week’s episode below. Check it out and let us know in the comments if it’s something you’ll be using! We love to hear from you always! ♥️

    5-015: Show Up - The Sparkle Mindset

    5-015: Show Up - The Sparkle Mindset

    HELLO SPARKLE FRIDAY! Today is a very special day as we are borrowing some inspiration from a woman we admire @awomancalledgeorge and inviting you to join the party! Without giving too much away from the episode, let’s start by asking yourself these few questions….

    - What does it look like when I truly show up for myself?
    - How does it make me feel?

    Now ask yourself this….“When I’m around other people…”

    - In what ways do I make myself “less than”?
    - Do I dumb myself down?
    - Do I make myself quiet?
    - Why do I feel the need to do so?

    Although this episode brought alot of laughter and fun, it was such an important and honest conversation around the efforts we go through to show up as our true selves. We hope it brings you encouragement and confidence to all who listen!

    5-014: We Really Are Like Snowflakes

    5-014: We Really Are Like Snowflakes

    ❄️🌨️ Have you ever considered the similarities between humans and snowflakes? Snowflakes
    are structures with highly predictable physics, yet as they begin to
    freeze they take on dust particles or impurities from the atmosphere
    which causes each snowflake to become completely unique. How
    similar does that sound to us as individuals? Whether we’re born as
    twins or not, we know that no two humans are ever made the same. Each of
    us go through unpredictable and unique variations that happen before we
    are born and as we go through life, yet it seems to be something we
    forget too often. Join us as we dive into this weeks episode
    with a little bit of science, some life perspective while considering
    how we can approach our uniqueness from a place of understanding and
    care for ourselves and those around us. As always, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. 👇🏼 We love to hear from you always! ♥️Dr. Merry’s website: https://drmerry.com Dr. Lin & Associates: http://drlinandassociates.com Gillian’s Website: https://gillianmcshane.com

    5-012: Wake Up!

    Welcome to The Fully Lived Life podcast! A podcast for those who are longing to pursue the full life and want to break free from anything that holds them back. Listen in as two friends - a psychologist, Dr. Merry, and a life coach, Gillian - talk about life, love, and purpose - with wisdom, humor, and transparency -  through the lens of science, psychology, and faith.

    It's time to WAKE UP & stop hitting the SNOOZE button! When it comes to so many things in life, we become comfortable with the way things are. We know that changes require effort and that can be uncomfortable and disrupt our feelings of peace at the time. When we become unmoveable and stagnant, we can create long-term damage and that's why it's so important to keep moving, keep growing and staying open to change. If we're really honest with ourselves though, we don't have the time to keep sleeping through life, relationships and circumstances that are bringing us true, genuine peace.
