The rising podcast that’s transforming the love lives of thousands of women.
In a world full of polished influencers and cookie-cutter advice, Liv Merima is building something different. At just 22, the Canadian entrepreneur and creator of Busy Glowing Up has turned deeply personal stories and real-world wisdom into one of the most compelling new voices in self-development and dating.
Since launching her podcast in January 2024, Liv has grown a loyal audience across Spotify and Apple, racking up over 300,000 streams and a near-perfect 4.9-star rating. But the secret to her podcast’s success isn’t flashy guests or clickbait titles—it’s the way she makes every listener feel like they’re on a FaceTime call with their most honest, empowered friend.
The Birth of Busy Glowing Up
Liv created Busy Glowing Up to fill a gap in the personal development space. As a dating coach and manifestation expert with a growing TikTok and Instagram community of over 150K, Liv found herself having deep, life-changing conversations in private coaching sessions—and knew they needed a broader platform.
“There were things no one was talking about,” she says. “Things I had to figure out on my own. I wanted to create a space where women could feel seen and understood while being challenged to grow.”
Unscripted and intentionally unpolished, the podcast quickly stood out. Liv didn’t want a show that sounded like a TED Talk. She wanted vulnerability, breakthroughs, and sometimes even tears—and she got them.
Why It Resonates
Unlike many podcasts in the self-help or dating advice space, Busy Glowing Up blends real-life experience with emotional intelligence and a no-BS approach to inner healing. Liv doesn’t just tell her audience how to improve their lives—she shows them what it looks like to do the work.
Her episodes often center around:
- Self-concept and mindset shifts
- Modern dating and feminine energy
- Manifestation techniques that go beyond clichés
- Real stories of transformation from listeners and clients
The feedback has been powerful. Women around the world have written in to share how Liv’s episodes helped them leave toxic relationships, attract better partners, fix their marriages, and even fall back in love with themselves.
“I wanted to stop the cycle of blaming others and start a movement of personal responsibility and transformation,” Liv explains.
The Secret Sauce: Relatability
Liv’s podcast feels different because it is different. She doesn’t script her episodes, avoids overproduced soundbites, and leans into being fully herself.
“There’s something powerful about hearing someone say what you’re too afraid to admit out loud,” Liv says. “I talk about what I’ve been through—panic, insecurity, low self-worth—and how I worked through it. That’s what connects us.”
Listeners often say they feel like they’re growing alongside her, not just listening to a highlight reel of success.
More Than a Podcast—It’s a Movement
Busy Glowing Up isn’t just audio content. It’s a mindset. A brand. A mission. Liv is building an entire ecosystem where personal growth meets practicality—and women are reminded that healing is a lifestyle, not a destination.
Her message is clear: You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. You just need to show up every day, ready to evolve.
Final Word
At only 22, Liv Merima has already changed thousands of lives—and she’s just getting started. Busy Glowing Up isn’t your average podcast. It’s a mirror, a mentor, and a must-listen for anyone ready to take back their power.
