Permission Slip

to Want

For the woman who knows there’s more for her — and is ready to stop waiting and start creating it.

Dream bigger. Heal deeper. Become whole. Create the life you want.

01 / WANTING MORE

WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT?

You can love your life and still want more.

More freedom.

More creativity.

More confidence.

More money.

More adventure.

More beauty.

More purpose.

More aliveness.

More of you.

Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful. It makes you human.

02 / THE SISTERHOOD

MERMAIDS RISING

A sisterhood for women who know there’s more for them. Women with big, bold dreams who are ready to stop postponing themselves. We dream bigger. We go deeper. We learn to navigate life’s waves. We surface stronger. And we rise together.

ABUNDANCE ISN’T ABOUT BECOMING ALL LIGHT. IT’S ABOUT BECOMING WHOLE.

DISCOVER MERMAIDS RISING

03 / BECOMING WHOLE

DREAM BIGGER. HEAL DEEPER. BECOME WHOLE.

Fear gets to come. Grief gets to come. Anger gets to come. Doubt gets to come. Your inner critic gets to come. We’re bringing all of you.

Because you don’t have to become fearless, perfectly healed or endlessly positive before you’re allowed to create a beautiful life.

Abundance isn’t about becoming all light. It’s about becoming whole.

04 / MEET MERCEDES

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM CHASER.

Former professional big-wave surfer. Writer. Mother. Entrepreneur. Coach. Founder of Mermaids Rising.

I built a life around going after things that looked impossible. Then life broke open everything I thought I knew about dreams, success and manifestation. I lost pieces of myself. I lived through years I never would have put on a vision board.

And somewhere in rebuilding, I discovered something deeper:

You don’t have to become fearless, perfectly healed or endlessly positive to create a beautiful life. You get to bring all of you.

05 / THE COMPASS

WHAT’S YOUR HELL YEAH?

That dream. That idea. That thing you keep coming back to. The one that makes you feel more alive when you talk about it. Your HELL YEAH isn’t a command to blow up your life tomorrow. It’s information.

YOUR HELL YEAH IS A COMPASS, NOT A COMMAND.

06 / WORK WITH ME

HOW LONG HAS YOUR DREAM BEEN WAITING?

Maybe there’s an idea you keep thinking about. A book. A business. A creative project. A move. An experience. A completely different version of your life.

You keep telling yourself: When things calm down. When I have more time. When I feel ready. And somehow everyone else keeps getting your time, energy and attention while your dream gets whatever is left.

WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE OF?

Another year will pass either way.
