It all starts with a

A mindset shift. An energy reset. A conscious way to lead—and live.

Spark With Merilee helps purpose-driven women, forward-thinking leaders, and growth-minded organizations shift out of pressure and perfectionism to confident, conscious self-leadership.

Stop me when you hear the lie: You’re not here to just power through another day on autopilot; you’re here to lead with clarity, live with purpose, and feel fully alive in work, life, relationships, and, most importantly, with yourself.

Leadership starts within.

I’m Here to Help You Reconnect With The Most Powerful Leader You Already Have – Yourself.

 

Hi, I’m Merilee.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m not here to tell you how to lead. I’m here to help you reconnect with the most powerful leader you already have—yourself.

I believe the way we think and feel changes how we live our lives. It shapes how we show up at work, how we communicate and connect, how we navigate challenges and change, how we make decisions, and how we build relationships with others and ourselves.

My keynotes, workshops, petite retreats and coaching all are anchored in Sparking Awareness, Acceptance, and Conscious Choice to lead and live from your Inner Leader not stress, pressure or perfectionism. 

This isn’t just about being fine. This is about truth, alignment, and learning to trust your inner compass again.

What Is Spark?

Spark is where self-awareness *sparks* change from the inside out.

It’s a mind-shifting experience that blends proven mental and emotional tools with intentional space to reset your energy, realign with your values, and rise into stronger self-leadership.

You can Spark in two powerful ways:

Spark Yourself

Coaching and retreats for ambitious women who are ready to lead with intention, presence, and peace—not pressure.

Spark Your Organizations & Teams

Keynotes, workshops, and programs that elevate emotional intelligence, self-leadership, team energy, and mental well-being.

Let's Work Together

You bring the desire for change. I’ll bring the tools to help you spark it.

Whether you’re at a crossroads, navigating stress, or simply craving more alignment in your life, we’ll create space to explore what’s really going on—and build emotional agility, self-trust, and clarity that lasts far beyond our sessions. Here’s how we can work together:

"Merilee’s insights really help me look at myself differently and realize that I am only seeing what I need to fix, not all the things that make me who I am."

By helping me get aligned with who I am and what I want, I am more productive and my energy is focused with intention. It’s like putting a lamp shade on a light bulb. Now the light has direction.

Merilee created a welcoming safe environment to be authentic in. She’s really good at listening and challenging what I am saying to make sure I hear myself and dissect what I am saying….Merilee is a thinking partner, cheerleader, and challenger all in one!
