We’re living through a profound shift, and many of us are feeling called toward a more aligned, heart-led way of living and working. In this reflection on my recent Courageous Next Step workshop, I explore what happens when we listen inward, follow what feels true, and dare to expand—both for ourselves and for the world we want to create.

Many of us long to live more purposefully, but the reality of paying the bills can hold us back. In this reflection, Monica explores how creativity and practicality can coexist — and why honouring your gifts, even alongside your day job, is essential for living with meaning, balance, and self-expression.

Living with integrity isn’t about perfection, it’s about listening inward, honouring your values, and making choices that feel true.

In this blog, I share what integrity looks like in practice and why it’s essential for purpose-led living.

In the first episode of Finding Your Purpose, I sit down with Joseph McGuire—facial profiler and communication expert—to explore how dropping the masks we wear can lead to greater authenticity, confidence, and connection. We talk about purpose, leadership, and why true fulfilment comes not from working harder, but from living in alignment with what really matters.

What stops us from fully valuing ourselves? In this blog, I explore how early conditioning, fear, and self-doubt can hold us back—and how we can begin to shift those patterns. When we recognise our own value, the world starts to reflect it back.

Many women give their all—at home, at work, and in business—yet still feel unseen or undervalued. In this blog, I explore why we often downplay our worth and how we can begin to step into our true value with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I have worked with many people who, despite financial success, feel constrained and dissatisfied. Now, more than ever, it’s time to break free from what no longer serves us and find our North Star—our guiding purpose.

When we fully embrace our creativity, we don’t just express ourselves—we contribute positively to the collective and feel more empowered in the process.

 Creativity isn’t just about art, music, or writing—it’s about thinking differently, seeing new perspectives, and expressing yourself in ways that feel meaningful to you.

Many people are exploring entrepreneurial paths, seeking innovative ways to work and play, and blurring the lines between the two. The truth is, a fulfilling life isn’t about working harder—it’s about living with more alignment and intention.

Connection is vital—not only with others but also within ourselves. When we connect with who we truly are—our strengths, values, and heartfelt desires—we move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Now, more than ever, as old structures continue to erode, we are being called to remember who we truly are and to honour that version of ourselves. After all, what else is of real value—to ourselves or to anyone else?

I’ve been thinking about the uncertainty and fear that so many are experiencing. The rising cost of living, global instability, climate change, homelessness, and war—the list can feel overwhelming.

Many creative entrepreneurs struggle with the fear of being seen. Some of these fears stem from personal experiences, while others are deeply ingrained in cultural and societal conditioning—particularly for women.

Some of the most meaningful and fulfilling work I’ve done has not been paid work. It has been the work that felt deeply aligned with my values, leaving me feeling joyful, satisfied, and purposeful.
