Conversations with Your Past, Present & Future Self

Rita Mercer, Wellness & Life Coach

What if the choices you're making today are shaping a future version of yourself that's either grateful...or wishing you had chosen differently?

In this reflective solo episode of The Daring Well Podcast, Rita Mercer explores the powerful inner conversations we all have with our past, present, and future selves. Through an everyday story about something as simple as putting up a windshield sunshade, she reveals how our smallest daily decisions often reflect much bigger patterns in our lives.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in regret, or struggling to prioritize your own well-being, this episode will help you shift from guilt and self-criticism toward grace, compassion, and intentional living.

You'll be encouraged to stop replaying the past, become more present, and begin making choices your future self will thank you for.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why your daily habits shape the person you're becoming.
  • How to stop letting guilt and shame keep you stuck.
  • The difference between comfort in the moment and long-term fulfillment.
  • Practical ways to extend yourself grace through every season of life.
  • Reflection questions to help you become more intentional with your choices.
  • How mindset coaching can help you move from surviving to thriving.
