What If/Should Whiplash: Letting go of Fear and Shame

Love Where You Are Overcoming Anxiety and Burnout the Monica Chats show

For so long, I lived in fear and shame. I'd live in the past and think of all I should have done differently. After a while in "should-land," I'd jerk myself into fear of the future, using my mistakes as proof of the terrible things to come. I yanked myself back and forth -- from what if and ...

Slay Your Goals While Stuck at Home

Planning & Taking Action the Monica Chats show

Covid-19 came at a weird time for me. We planned to move to Arizona in May, so I decided that I'd quit my day job in early March. Then our plans to move got thrown out the window, and I had to adjust to working on my business with lots of extra time. I thought this was a dream come true, ...

Because of my mindset, I was attracted to jobs that took advantage of me & I couldn’t set boundaries. Before I started with Monica, I was in constant fear and worry. I was scared to make any decisions to make my life better because I'm not from the US and I didn't feel like I could say yes to opportunities. Now, I'm not worried about money all the time and I left my boss to start my own thing.

Before our calls, I was worried about how working with her would go. I've worked with other people before, but it was so impersonal. I felt like there was no connection and that I wasn't seen. Working with Monica, I always felt like she was listening. My favorite part was the constant email contact. It was so nice to email her anytime I had questions, when I was worried about something in my life, or when I just wanted to talk.

I would recommend Monica to anyone who is struggling with changing their mindset because I actually got something out of working with her. She'll be there for you when you need her.

I was hesitant before I started with Monica because I didn't know if she was there because she wanted to help or just to be paid. But, I could tell she was actually listening. Throughout our conversations, I felt like she was genuinely invested in our time together. When I disclosed personal events that happened in my life, her response was so genuine and respectful. To me, that's a testament to someone who takes what they do seriously. I loved how she asked thought-provoking questions. She did a good job of not accepting my surface-level answers and making me go deeper.

When I started with Monica, I thought my main goals were to be more organized and check off more boxes. By the end of our time, I found it was more important to be mindful of my needs and prioritizing what was actually important in my life. I appreciate all of her questions and helping me organize my own thought process. Since working with her, I've learned to say no and set boundaries for myself. It's ok to say no to even family and to put my own needs first.

My biggest transformational session came when she asked me to define who I was. I labeled myself as inconsistent, among other negative things, because of my many weight loss attempts and failures, but she helped me see that though I hadn’t been consistent at weight loss, I had been consistent in many other areas of my life. I was so familiar with my story that I was only able to see the places where I “could have, should have, would have” done something better. She took the time to hear everything and pulled out the positive aspects that I’d so easily overlooked. Instead of letting me continue to believe what I'd been telling myself for decades, she helped me construct new and positive things to say to myself that was closer to the truth.

I was blocked for years. I know which way is up now when I didn’t even know there WAS an up. I was so unhappy and stuck in the beginning, that I didn’t think she could help. She brought me out of a very dark place and reintroduced me to life. I’m living intentionally now. I have purpose.
