384 Merritt Minnemeyer “Creativity, Faith and Rebuilding After Loss”

Today on the show… Merritt Minnemeyer is on a mission to eradicate executive mediocrity in entertainment, innovation, and the arts.

As the Founder of Master of One Coaching, LLC she employs 25 years of leadership experience, her background in performance and production, and her entrepreneurial DNA in guiding visionaries to exceed expectations, including their own.

She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coaching Federation, a “recovering” actor, an international speaker, and a passionate catalyst of the conscious business movement. She holds a BFA in Acting from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, a Masters of Professional Studies, and several specialized coaching certifications.

Having rebuilt her life after being widowed at 35 with 3 young, “neuro-spicy” kids, Merritt believes that conscious, creative leaders are the #1 key to a thriving future, and that anything is possible when inspired people channel their power for good with excellence, integrity, and artistry.

She lives with her darling husband of 10 years, Tom, their now nearly grown kids, and their menagerie of furbabies in the Hudson Valley, NY.

Merritt shares about her early interest in theater, how that evolved and eventually soured a bit to encourage her to broaden her horizons. After marriage and many physically and emotionally difficult years trying to conceive, the stars aligned for her and her then husband Peter to adopt their first child. A move and 2 foster children later, Peter is diagnosed with cancer and passes before the twins are legally adopted. Merritt miraculously survives a year where she loses her father, husband and grandfather, and is left to navigate the challenges of her grown family. With time and the support of many, she is on the other side thriving and engaged in purposeful work supporting executives and their organizations she feels passionate about. Our conversation is full of inspiration, honesty and hope. You can learn more about Merritt’s work via her website and take her creative leadership style quiz here.

Happy New Moon this Thursday!

346 “Infertilities” and “Missed-Conceptions”

For many years I’ve imagined a group art experience where folks can share through some artistic means their story in trying to become a parent. As someone who experienced 6 miscarriages, much heartache and also opportunities to grow and learn about myself in my journey to becoming a mother, it’s something I feel is often kept in the shadows. Today I am officially announcing this show for the Spring of 2025, May 7-11 in Kingston, NY to bring it into the light. It’s an open call to anyone who has a story about trying to conceive, adopt, or become a parent in one of the many ways one can. Whether you completed that journey, are still in the midst of it, or have let that path go, you are welcome. Unless you have gone through it yourself, it’s hard to know the true magnitude of how this impacts us, physically, mentally, financially. It’s my hope that people can feel seen and receive support as they express their stories and help illuminate what so many suffer through alone through this community art show.  If you’d like to participate, please feel free to fill out this brief form, or send me an email with any questions.

About a year or so ago, I found a book that convinced me I was ready to do this show. It was in a pile of books at Radio Kingston free to take. On today’s show I’ll share stories from that book, Infertilities, a curation edited by Elizabeth Horn, Maria Novotny and Robin Silbergleid. NOTE: these stories may be activating for those who have a personal connection to the subject matter.

Here’s your New Moon report. “Channel some of this creative, fertile Haumea energy by focusing on what you wish to create. Channel it towards solutions and hope for a brighter future.”

Get your tix to The Goddess Party this Friday!
