"You never self-sabotage," my partner said, right before I fell back into an old story.

Even after 3-4 years of consistently working on my money story; in calm of my weeks I started to not feel like I am enough, wanting more, seeking to rid the money I was making.

In 38 minutes, we go way beyond the Inner Critic. We talk about getting regulated, discovering what you actually want, creating passion and joy, and learning to “fight for peace” until peace becomes easier.

The theme was Inner Critic solutions, but we unpack victim mode—not as something to shame, but as a place where validation can sometimes be necessary before we’re ready to move forward.Because healing isn’t just about reaching the destination. It’s learning how to enjoy the journey.

My Book

If you've never seen strength and growth in your history, you want to try this therapy in a group setting.

The Empowerment Timeline is a group experience that is Salutogenic, meaning I help you use your story to see growth, truth, and inner knowing you didn't know existed.

While training with Dr. Robert Rhoton (Arizona Trauma Institute) and learning in my Trauma and Resilience Life Coaching Certification (with Dr. Logan and other clinicians) helped me master their SAFNET (Salutogenic Asset Focused Narrative Exposure Therapy), I knew I could make more impact as a coach, former therapist (MSW) for those who:

• didn't trust therapists
• who don't have access to quality trauma care
• who have tried many treatments and are searching for something different
• want to get into their history without being retriggered

The Empowerment Timeline is an experience unlike any other. Whether you have significant events in your life or not, this 3-step procedure helps build your confidence and self-trust.

After years of emotional distance, avoided conversations, and fragile boundaries, one final timeline reveals what happens when truth is spoken—not to repair the past, but to honor the self.

In this episode, you will hear the therapeutic exposure timeline Monique uses in her HEAL Model for Building Resilience Coaching Program with guest Amanda Clark.

Amanda helps high-achieving women who are done feeling alone in their relationships. She teaches them how to stop doing the most and stop playing the “good girl” so that they create marriages that feel less like raising a grown man and more like an actual partnership.

From high-conflict divorce to healing—how one founder built an AI tool to help parents regulate, reconnect, and co-parent with clarity.

In this episode, we sit down with Sol Kennedy, founder of BestInterest, the AI-powered co-parenting app transforming how high-conflict families communicate. Once a Googler and serial entrepreneur, Sol’s most meaningful innovation didn’t come from Silicon Valley—it came from his own divorce.

Blending personal experience with cutting-edge technology and nervous system science, Sol created a tool designed to help parents shift from reactive patterns to intentional, regulated responses. His work, praised by WIRED as “lifesaving,” is changing the landscape of co-parenting for families navigating stress, conflict, and emotional overwhelm.

In this episode:

- Tools for emotion regulation

- Boundaries and how to do so without therapy

- Children-focused conversations (for co-parents)
