Merline Ulloth is an Army veteran, coach, mentor, author, faith-filled visionary committed to helping women rise from the ashes of life’s hardest seasons, and the heart behind The Uncommon U. Known for her warmth, wisdom, and faith-rooted presence, Merline brings over 20 years of experience mentoring and coaching women across diverse backgrounds. Long before the life-altering event that reshaped her path and ignited a deeper call. Merline was already sowing seeds of transformation. Merline answered the call to create a space where others could rediscover their voice and rise into purpose.

As a devoted military spouse, she moved often—but never without purpose. With each new assignment, she became a trusted voice in her community, serving as a mentor, group facilitator, and sounding board for both executive leaders and everyday women navigating the tension between identity and transition. Her passion for growth led her to earn a Master’s degree in Finance and build a career in the finance industry. Yet, it was through serving and leading women in real-life conversations about purpose, pressure, and perseverance that her true calling emerged.

Merline has traveled extensively across the globe, and with every culture and conversation, she developed a deeper understanding of what it means to rise in unfamiliar spaces and rediscover your voice in the midst of change. Her experiences cultivated in her a unique gift: the ability to listen deeply, speak truth tenderly, and help others align their identity with God’s intention for their lives.

Today, as the founder of The Uncommon U, she combines professional insight, spiritual authority, and lived wisdom to guide women through inner healing, mindset shifts, and kingdom alignment. Her journey is more than a testimony—it’s an invitation for others to rise into their own uncommon story.

Her story is raw, and her mission is clear: to empower you to become The Uncommon U.

Our Story

The Uncommon U was born from the ashes of a life-altering moment—a collision of pain, purpose, and divine calling.

Through Faith-led coaching, transformative storytelling, and her signature SOAR Mindset framework, we walk with you as you surrender old narratives, overcome inner battles, align with your God-given purpose, and rise above. This isn’t just coaching—it’s a call to live authentically, lead boldly, and embrace the beautiful exchange that happens when you become the uncommon you.

“My identity wasn’t in what I did—it was in who I belonged to“- Merline
