Conversations for Leaders, Boundaries, & Authenticity

Read more

Welcome to The Rainbow Bridge with Coach Nay — a space where leadership meets healing, and authenticity becomes a way of life. This is for leaders, professionals, and changemakers who are tired of performing, of playing small, and are ready to reclaim their voice, heal toxic cycles, and lead from their truth.

Through honest stories, deep conversations, and faith-honoring wisdom, we explore what it means to:
• Master triggers that have sabotaged leadership presence
• Set boundaries without guilt or compromise
• Embody confidence even in rooms built for another standard
• Lead teams, families, and communities with authenticity, empathy, courage

If you’re done dimming your light and ready to lead out loud, this podcast is your roadmap home.

 

Meet the Host

I’m Nayshondra Mercer, but most people call me Coach Nay. I help leaders — especially women and professionals — dismantle toxic patterns, reclaim their boundaries, and lead with fierce authenticity. I’ve walked this journey myself, and now I share the tools, frameworks, and stories that help others step into unapologetic leadership. Whether it’s through my coaching, my podcast The Rainbow Bridge, or my live workshops, my goal is the same: to help you stop shrinking and start leading from your truth.
