About this listen

Where ideas are dismantled. Assumptions reimagined. The compass recalibrated. And your path begins to reveal itself. This is not a podcast. It’s a thesis. A reorientation of how we think, what we question, and what we choose to carry with us. Every guest has walked an unmarked path. Every episode reveals a hidden map. Every moment leaves something behind— a shift in how you see, a trace of what you’ll become.Morgan Mercer Philosophy Social Sciences

  • EP5 – Tim Storey: "Your Calling Is Calling. Pick Up." | How to Stop Ignoring Your Purpose
    May 22 2025

    Your calling is calling. Are you ready to pick up?


    In this episode of UNLEARNING, world-renowned speaker and legendary life strategist Tim Storey joins Morgan for a soul-shifting conversation on how to realign with your purpose—even amidst setbacks, distractions, or detours.

    They unpack the cost of living on autopilot, the lies we inherit about success, what happens when you ignore what you’re here to do, how to return to the quiet wisdom you’ve been tuning out — and how to realign with your purpose before it’s too late.


    “Stop ignoring what you’re here to do. Your dream has a voice—can you hear it?”


    Whether you’re at a crossroads or just feeling off, this conversation will put you back on course.



    In this episode:

    • Why most people never unlearn what’s holding them back

    • The hidden cost of almost living your purpose

    • How to know when your timeline is out of sync

    • Trust vs. control — and the bugs on the windshield

    • What happens when you finally pick up the call

    • The danger of settling in a setback

    • What divine timing actually looks like

    • How to move from confusion to calling

    • Why alignment feels like coming home


    This one is for the seekers, the driven, the ones who know they’re meant for more—but haven’t fully answered yet.


    You’re not behind.

    You’re not broken.

    You’re just being called.

  • EP3 – Derek Du Chesne: Feel It Fully, Heal It Completely – Emotions Whisper. Are You Listening?
    May 9 2025

    We’ve been conditioned to believe that healing means fixing what’s broken. But what if you were never broken? What if the anxiety, the chaos, the struggle—they aren’t proof of your flaws, but signals that you’ve been disconnected from who you truly are?


    In this episode of UNLEARNING, we dismantle the conventional narrative of mental health. We’ll uncover why most healing methods only scratch the surface—and why true transformation isn’t about patching up pieces, but about reconnecting with the parts of you that were never meant to be silenced.




    In this episode:

    • Why “fixing” isn’t healing—it’s just hiding the symptoms.

    • How disconnection, not dysfunction, is at the root of anxiety and depression.

    • Why traditional therapy often falls short of real transformation.

    • The myth of being broken—and the power of reclaiming your wholeness.

    • A path back to yourself that doesn’t require you to be “fixed.”
