In Focus | Mollie Sommer

Meet Mollie, she grew up in Chase B.C. but has lived in Kamloops since she was a teen. Mollie is an advocate for wellness and owns a business based around Intuitive Soul Coaching. Mollie is here for anyone searching to change their lifestyle and move toward a more positive direction.

Who is your favourite person to spend time with and why?
My children are my favourite people. They are 9-years-old and they blow my mind with their insights and our conversations.

What is your favourite local store in Kamloops and why?
Main Street Clothing. I have been visiting Niki for over 20 years now, she always makes me feel beautiful.

Describe yourself in one word.
Strong

If you could go anywhere in the world right at this moment where would you go and why?
This is an impossible question for me. I would like to visit every country in the world before I leave it. There isn’t one place I want to go more than the other, they are all magic in their own way.

What is your favourite activity in Kamloops?
I love to hike. I love to go into the forest and just be with nature. Hug a tree, appreciate the colours, observe the happenings. Even the smallest of animals have a purpose in its day, I love watching it all happen.



What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?
I don’t really get embarrassed. I make mistakes, I am human. I would rather get a good laugh then be embarrassed.

What is the most inspiring thing that has happened to you?
Life inspires me. There are so many amazing things happening all around us that we take for granted; people showing each other love, a mother pushing her stroller up 6th with two giant dogs in tow, watching families and the people at Music in The Park. There is inspiration every where, we just need to choose to see it.
The birth of my children inspired me to be better, to be the person they deserved to have in their lives. They are why I do everything and anything; big and small.

Tell us your favourite childhood memory.
I have many favourite childhood memories but I had a red 10-speed bike that gave me freedom. I used to ride it all over Chase. I remember when I was about 10-years-old it was a hot summer, the days were long and the sun turned everything yellow. I would ride my bike to the beach every day and would close my eyes, let go of the handlebars and spread my arms out wide as I rode down the street. it was as close to flying as I can imagine.

Where do you volunteer or give back to in the community?
My kids and I love to help where we can. We help out at the Christopher Seguin Rotary Dinners when scheduling permits. Every Christmas we love helping at the Alliance Church Dinners. As part of my Yoga Hikes, I collect donations for the Kamloops Food Bank.



If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
Love. I believe that love should be given unconditionally to everyone. Our fears, judgments, past and hurt often gets in the way of this, we get so busy in our own minds that we forget to offer up love. Not just outwardly but inwardly as well. If we all loved ourselves and others more things would be very different.

Where would you sneak away to in Kamloops to spend some time alone?
Any dirt trail I can find, usually Kenna or Sun Rivers.

Where would you like to see positive change in Kamloops and why?
I see so much potential in Kamloops. I would like to see more culture, arts and creative thinking in Kamloops.

What do you think makes Kamloops great?
I have been to many places all over the world and the thing I am learning about Kamloops is it has diversity. There are so many ecosystems so close to town, so much nature. Something we all need more of.

What are 3 things on your bucket list?

  1. Give a TED Talk
  2. Write at least 3 books
  3. Create a wave that will change the world.

Tell us something that not everyone may know about you.
I love flowers.

How do people connect with you, personally, through social media? (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.)
I am on Facebook and Instagram @molliesommerwellness

Mollie Sommer Wellness

Why did you get into/start this business?
April of 2017

What is the goal of your business?
Help as many people as possible out of the fog that our culture deems “normal” and help them achieve extraordinary things.

What has been your biggest struggle either at work or in life?
Taking one day at a time. I love what I do and I love to work hard. I struggle with seeing the small steps that I make every day.

What do you always find yourself saying?
Breath, step into your fears.

Tell us your best piece of life advice.
We are all the same. No matter what you are going through right now you can stop someone on the street and find that you both have been through similar things. Our ego likes to isolate us but we are all connected.

If you could spend one whole day with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?
Oprah



Why do you think it is important to shop locally?
We have to support each other. We are stronger together.

What has been your proudest accomplishment?
Rising from my own darkness.

Give someone you think that deserves it a shout out and explain why!
Tracy Munson. Tracy has been beside me through the hardest times. She has always been there to hold me up when I couldn’t stand.
