We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Liv Merima. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Olivia below.
Alright, Liv thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
What most people don’t realize is that they dictate how their love life unfolds for them based on what they believe deep down about themselves, about love, and about what they think they are worthy of. Most of these beliefs are subconscious. For example, consciously you might think you’re very confident and adored but the underlying subconscious belief of not feeling worthy or good enough shows up in sneaky ways you’re not aware of such as constantly over explaining yourself, accepting poor treatment from others, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you have to be something you’re not to be loved.
Usually these beliefs and habits come from stuff that happened to you in your childhood whether that’s the love that you received in your childhood was inconsistent, feeling like you had to earn your parents love, etc. Overtime it becomes a part of your identity without even knowing it, and you carry it throughout adulthood, unless you consciously change those beliefs.
What I do is I work with clients on uncovering these deep subconscious beliefs and together we work on shifting expectations when it comes to love and relationships.
A lot of the people I work with come to me stuck in the same cycle same situations, same kind of people, just different faces. We work on changing the stories their subconscious mind has been holding onto, and once that clicks, everything changes. I’ve had clients in the past tell me that this mindset work has helped them more than years of therapy they have done. In my coaching sessions within minutes of speaking to a new client I’m able to determine what’s been preventing my client from experiencing the types of connections they desire and what we need to specifically target within their mindset. I’ve had several clients go from feeling completely stuck in their love lives to getting engaged and finally experiencing the kind of relationship they didn’t think was possible for them.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Before my coaching business took off I spent years trying to get ahead and start a profitable online business it wasn’t until I realized it wasn’t about what I was doing, it was about who I was being, is when everything changed for me and hit six-figures within my business by the age of twenty one.
I started posting content about mindset and manifestation on tiktok, while I was studying in college to go into business marketing. I always knew I wanted to run my own business. Since I was a kid, I had that fire in me. But what most people don’t know is that before I became a coach, I had already tried several different business models like e-commerce, Amazon FBA, affiliate marketing and one after another they all failed. But I knew in my heart that I was meant for more, I had no idea how it would unfold but I knew that if I keep working towards success each day I would get closer.
At first, I thought I just hadn’t found the right strategy. But eventually, I realized the real reason I wasn’t seeing success no matter how hard I worked was because a part of me didn’t believe I was capable of succeeding.
I come from a family of immigrants who moved to Canada from a communist country. I grew up hearing things like “money doesn’t grow on trees” and “you have to work hard for every dollar.” Without even realizing it, I had internalized the belief that success meant struggle, that money was hard to come by, and that I had to prove I was worthy of abundance.
So even though I was doing all the “right” things I kept hitting a wall.
Everything changed when I started doing the subconscious identity work. I rewired my beliefs around money and success, I shifted the way I saw myself, and started showing up the version of myself who believed in herself. Once I became her, everything I wanted started showing up very quickly. As someone who didn’t fully believe in the power of the mind at first, when I learned how to properly do the work my business expanded very quickly.
Inside my courses and coaching programs, I teach women how to shift their subconscious beliefs and identity around love so they can attract the kind of love they’ve always wanted. With over 1000+ success stories we’ve had several clients manifest proposals, get married, restore their marriages, restore their relationships and so much more!
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
The most important lessons I have ever learned from my experience growing my social media platforms is firstly, giving people what they want not what you think they want to hear. If your current strategy isn’t working, its not that the algorithm is punishing you it’s trying to tell you that this content is not what your audience is interested in. The number one metric on all social media platforms is watch time. If your videos aren’t performing well its simply because it’s not engaging enough to make viewers want to stop scrolling and watch. The key is once you do have a video that performs well continue to recreate it in the same format meaning using same subtitles, background music, same background, similar topic etc. You will notice when you see top performing creators even if it seems like they don’t have a strategy they always do even if they aren’t aware of it.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Content isn’t everything. You don’t need hundreds of thousands of views per video or millions of followers to run a successful business. As a matter of fact you can have millions of followers and still struggle in your business if your content and messaging it off. The most effective strategy for growing clientele is creating content that speaks directly to their symptoms and what they are currently experiencing. They want to know that you understand what they are currently experiencing and how you can help them solve that specific problem. When I learned how to speak directly to dream clients and make them feel fully seen and understood through my content, it immediately positioned myself as someone they can trust to change their life.
