Hi, I’m Monica

impact

After years of burning the candle at both ends, I have found a way to balance a demanding career, motherhood and my physical and mental health.  I have devoted over a decade to researching and reading books on the topics of mindfulness, neuroscience, positive psychology, holistic health and leadership development.  You don’t have to figure this out on your own.  I can teach you what I have learned over the course of a decade in just five weeks.

You wanna know a secret? You CAN have it all. The career, the relationship, the abundance, the freedom, the love, the joy and all of the confidence in the world to make it yours.

 If you feel like you’re not living up to your full potential, then chances are that the only thing holding you back is you. Let’s get to the bottom of that ASAP!

Transformation is waiting. I can help.

Let’s go back in time a few years. I was newly married, had a baby on the way and had just received a dream promotion at work. I was making over six figures, was surrounded by people who loved me and was at the top of my game as a trial lawyer. On paper, I was living the dream.

And yet, I felt completely disconnected from myself. What was once my dream career began to feel completely inauthentic to the person I had become. I felt guilty, confused and unsure about whether I could spend the next 30 years of my professional life continuing down a path that felt hollow and uninspired. I was ready to cut and run from a career that I had spent years nurturing.

The disparity between how my life looked on the outside and how I felt on the inside had come to a head. I was burned out, unfulfilled and struggling with major imposter syndrome. I wasn’t sure what to do, but I knew I was stuck and needed help getting out of the funk.

I realize that my entire identity has been wrapped up in my career and I start to uncover my interests, passions and values.

Renewed purpose and a beautiful life
Renewed purpose and a beautiful life
Monica and Family ()

Fast forward a few years, I found renewed purpose, confronted my fears and created a beautiful life that feels fulfilling and totally aligned with this version of me. And the good news? I didn’t have to quit my job, sell off all of my belongings and move to Bali to completely transform my life. (Although, Bali does sound kinda nice. . . )

How did I do it, you ask?

Getting really clear on who I was and what my values were. Working on my self-confidence and self-worth. Tackling limiting beliefs. Uncovering my passions and desires. Honoring my strengths and weaknesses. Sticking to a routine. Saying no to things that didn’t matter. Stepping WAY outside of my comfort zone. On repeat.

I transformed my life and I can teach you how to do the same.
