My name is Mary Merriweather, and I truly believe, “You were designed to happen to life — not for life to happen to you.”

I’m so glad you’re here. The very fact that you’ve taken the time to explore this space says something meaningful about who you are and your commitment to growth. I would be honored to connect with you personally.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and co-pastor alongside my husband — and the founder of Life By Design, LLC. For years, I’ve had the privilege of walking with women of all ages through life’s challenges, seasons of growth, transition, and transformation.

My own journey of seeking value, purpose, and worth led me on a path of discovery that eventually unlocked my passion and niche: serving women who are asking deeper questions about who they are and what’s next.

I am known for creating a warm, grounded space where women feel safe to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover themselves. My teaching style is practical, relatable, and insightful — helping you translate inner awareness into real-life change without overwhelm or pressure.

Clients often share that they feel seen, safe, and supported in our work together — able to be honest, ask questions, and explore without pretense. A response I often hear in sessions is, “I’ve never thought or heard it put that way.”

That’s truly where my heart soars. Those moments of clarity, illumination, and breakthrough — watching someone see themselves differently and move forward with confidence — that is “Life By Design” for me.

My coaching framework helps you Identify, Define, Develop, and create an Action Plan to move forward, bridging personal and spiritual development in a way that feels real and attainable.

I would love to explore what’s possible for you.
