Hey Friend!
This was just a quick recording as I'm guessing someone needed to hear this today.
God Bless!

Hey Friend
Many times, natural and conventional approaches work best together and my personal journey has just led me to ask more questions about how to support the body earlier, figure out the root cause, and heal at the cellular level.
Recently, I had another thermography scan done.
If you’re not familiar, thermography doesn’t diagnose disease. It looks at heat patterns and inflammation in the body. I like it because it gives information without labels or fear.
Here’s what stood out to me:
And honestly? That didn’t alarm me.
It actually made sense.
Healing isn’t linear. Improvement doesn’t mean the body stops communicating. What I saw was a body that’s regulating better overall while still asking for deeper support in a few specific places. It confirms to me that cooking from scratch, eliminating seed oils & toxins from what I put in my body to on my body is helping along with lifestyle changes.
To me, that felt like wisdom.
Those results didn’t make me want to do more things.
They made me want to do deeper things.
I’ve learned over the years that the body is incredibly intelligent. It’s constantly adapting and communicating.
And that’s what led me to explore more natural, non-invasive support, especially at the cellular level.
I’ve only recently started using PEMF and Terahertz technology myself.
I’m not speaking from years of personal experience yet. I’m speaking from education, professional background, observation, and early personal use.
And I think that honesty matters because I never want to overstate where I am in the journey.
PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, and Terahertz frequencies are forms of energy the body already recognizes.
They’re non-invasive.
Instead of overriding the body, they support things like:
I often think of it as helping the body remember what it already knows how to do especially when stress, inflammation, or time has disrupted those signals.
Seeing improvement on my scan told me, “What you’re doing is helping.”
Seeing new areas told me, “Don’t stop listening.”
And that’s where cellular-level support made sense to me not out of fear, but out of stewardship. Out of long-term thinking. Out of respect for the body’s design.
No promises here. No guarantees.
But what I consistently hear from people using PEMF and Terahertz support is that changes often start quietly:
Better sleep and the 2nd night I slept better than I have in several years.
And sometimes the most meaningful thing people say is simply,
I believe our bodies were created with incredible intelligence.
Scripture says we are fearfully and wonderfully made and I take that seriously.
For me, supporting the body naturally isn’t about rejecting medicine. It’s about stewardship. Listening. Responding. And caring for what we’ve been entrusted with.
Just to say it again:
It’s education and personal experience only.
Always listen to your body.
If any part of this sparked curiosity for you, I invite you to join me on instagram where I share more of this story.
Sometimes the most powerful step is simply paying closer attention to your body and asking better questions.
And if you ever want to learn more or explore natural ways to support your body alongside conventional care, I’m always happy to have that conversation.

Hey Friend!
Glad you are here for my natural healing after being told I might have cancer
Happy New Year Friend!
I really enjoy a fresh New Year!
After several years of trying to figure out how to simplify this online business space and after creating my first paid digital product in July, I finally feel like I have cracked the code and learned to make it simple and profitable with very little expenses and very little tech.
In 2024, I had to step back as so many people were hustling and always chasing and that is the opposite of my simplicity brand and I didn’t want to get sucked into that. Sometimes I think people are so focused on business, that they truly forget the meaning of intentional time. I want Jesus and family first and my business running on its own so I have less of it.
Once I stepped back, God dropped a business that taught me how to resell high ticket affiliate items after several months of being quiet. It opened my eyes to how simple it can be.
I also created digital products of my own which this course taught me as well. In 2025, I learned from a few creators how to set up almost everything on automation through just 1 simple platform and a free instagram account scheduling 5-7 second reels. It was a total game changer and I made my first paid product. This is not a get rich quick scheme as it has taken me hours of learning and creating the past few years, but I now feel very confident in teaching you how to do the same even if you have never had an online business before. These 4 steps are key to setting up a profitable business & making it simple.
Lets make this year, your best year yet!

Hey friend. I’m so glad you’re here with me today. If you’re listening to this, chances are life has been feeling a little… full. Not bad. Not wrong. Just full.
I’m just sitting here in our -20 degree weather batching some episodes as our next few weeks we are going to be enjoying all the family and Grandkids. Good day to stay inside!
Today I want to talk about something that has changed my life and has changed the lives of thousands of busy moms I’ve walked with…Simplicity.
Not the Pinterest kind. Not the everything-is-perfect kind.
Most moms don’t realize this, but complexity steals our joy one tiny decision at a time.
And the truth is your exhaustion isn’t a character flaw.It’s not because you should be doing better. You're tired because your life is overcrowded.
Simplicity pulls back the layers so you can breathe again.
And Scripture tells us that God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. When your life feels chaotic, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means something needs to be simplified.
When moms hear the word simplify, they think they need to add something like more organization, more color-coded systems, more complicated meal plans.
But true simplicity is about removing what drains you.
It’s choosing fewer decisions instead of more.
When you take away the noise, you uncover a life that was already waiting for you - slower, calmer, more intentional.
Simplicity doesn’t just change your to-do list.
So many moms tell me, I didn’t know it could feel this easy. But it can.
I didn’t start out living simply,
As a nurse, I worked long shifts. I came home exhausted, hungry, and feeling like I had nothing left to give. I didn’t want fast food to raise my kids, and I didn’t want stress to define our home.
So I started building small systems.
And friend… that changed everything.
And that’s why I teach it now because I know what it feels like to carry more than you were ever meant to hold.
If you’re listening and thinking, I want this… but I don’t know where to start, hear this:
You don’t have to overhaul your life.
You just need one simple step.
And this January, I’m leading a FREE No Spend Challenge that will help you reset your budget, simplify your daily decisions, and start the year with intention, not stress & overwhelm.It’s designed for the busy mom who feels like she’s drowning in expenses, rushing through evenings, and wishing life could slow down.
Link for NO SPEND CHALLENGE -> https://stan.store/ClaimingSimplicity
You can join at the link below, and each week I’ll walk with you through small, simple changes that make a big difference in your spending.
Friend, simplicity isn’t about doing less so you can be more productive.
You deserve a life that feels lighter.
I’m cheering for you, and I’m grateful we get to walk this journey together.
Happy New Year Friend!

Welcome back, friend!
Today’s episode is one so many families need right now because almost everyone is feeling the squeeze.
Groceries are higher. Utilities creep up. Kids’ activities cost more. Life just feels expensive.
But here’s the good news
Most families have hidden pockets of savings they don’t even realize are there.And once you shine a light on them, you start seeing how much freedom is possible
Food is the biggest leak in the average family’s budget, especially for busy moms who feel like they’re just trying to survive dinner.
But imagine cooking for just a couple of hours one day and eating homemade meals all week.
This is one of the easiest places to save hundreds every month without clipping coupons or living on noodles.
Most people don’t realize a quick stop at the store is actually one of the biggest budget drains.
You go in for milk…You come out with snacks, a candle, and a seasonal display you didn’t need.
Those tiny $25–$40 trips add up fast.
When you simplify and stick to one grocery trip with a pickup order?
You would be shocked how many families are paying for things they don’t even remember signing up for.
Streaming services, apps, memberships, & free trials that weren’t so free.
A quick audit usually saves $50–$150 a month instantly.
This isn’t deprivation, this is stewardship.
Convenience is the silent budget killer.
But when you create a few simple systems like having meals prepped or keeping a stocked pantry, convenience stops being something you buy…and starts being something you build.
A cluttered home makes you forget what you already have.
So you buy duplicates.
When you simplify your home, even a little, you automatically spend less.
Less chaos equals less cash slipping through your fingers.
Most moms think saving money means sacrificing everything fun.
But the real heart behind saving is this:
When you spend with purpose & not panic, you stop feeling guilty… and start feeling free.
And that’s exactly what I want for you as we head into a brand-new year.
Friend, if you’re listening to this and thinking, I want to get ahead, but I don’t even know where to start…You’re not alone.
That’s why I created my FREE No Spend January Challenge we have been doing for 4 years
In this challenge, you’ll learn how to: stop impulse spending, use what you already have, simplify meals so you’re not running to the store, cut hidden expenses without feeling deprived, create financial peace in your home & start the year with purpose instead of pressure
You’re not doing this alone.

Hey Friend
Today I want to talk about a kind of wealth most of us never grew up hearing about.
But the kind you feel in your soul.
The kind of wealth that shows up as peace, space, rest, and the ability to breathe.
What if true wealth isn’t about money at all… but about margin?
And what if the life you’re longing for isn’t waiting on a raise, or a better job, or a perfect season… but simply on creating room for joy again?
Let’s talk about that today.
Most moms today aren’t struggling with financial poverty, though some absolutely are.
No time. No energy. No quiet. No space to think. No space to breathe.
And when there’s no margin, even the simple parts of life feel heavy.
Dinner feels like a mountain.
This is the poverty the world doesn’t talk about. And this is the poverty Jesus came to lift us out of.
When you look at Jesus’ life, He never rushed & He didn’t keep a tight schedule.
He walked everywhere. He paused for people. He rested. He withdrew to quiet places. He said no to crowds so He could say yes to the Father.
He lived with margin.
If the Savior of the world wasn’t in a hurry, maybe the pressure we feel to fill every minute isn’t coming from God.
Maybe it’s coming from expectations we were never meant to carry.
Margin is something you create, not something you find.
And the beautiful thing? You can build it right where you are, starting small.
Margin looks like:
Every bit of margin you create is like depositing peace into a bank account.
That’s wealth.
When your home gets simpler, your heart gets quieter.
And in the quiet, you can hear God again.
When dinner is already made, you’re not cooking in survival mode, you have space for conversation, connection, prayer, laughter.
This is where the real riches start showing up:
That is abundance.
I want to give you one small, doable step to start practicing margin:
Pick one area of your week where you’re always stressed… and create a simple system for it.
Just one.
If meals are the stress? Try cooking once and eating all week.
Small changes multiply and every bit of margin you create shifts your life toward peace.
Friend, you deserve to live a life you actually enjoy.
And it starts with margin.
Not perfection. Not performance. Just space.
Space to breathe. Space to hear God. Space to live.

Hello Friend from blustery Minnesota!
Are we moving toward the life we want… or drifting somewhere we never meant to go?
As busy moms, especially moms trying to hold work, home, kids, and groceries all together… this matters.
Because the changes we allow into our lives, even tiny ones, shape the kind of person we’re becoming.
And we get to choose the direction.
Some changes move us closer to the life God is calling us to live.
There are changes we choose, like:
And there are changes that happen to us:
And even when change is outside our control…
Because change isn't just what happens to us, it’s what it produces in us.
Maybe think about a change you’ve made recently, even something tiny.
These questions aren’t meant to burden you, they’re meant to free you.
If you recognize a change that isn’t moving you in the direction you want to go, you’re not stuck. God always gives us fresh starts.
Here’s where to begin:
Friend, change is happening whether we choose it or not.
We only get one life.
And that begins with the small, simple shifts we make every day.
If you’re feeling that tug today, like something in your life needs to shift, that’s not an accident. That’s the Lord nudging you toward something better.
You’re just one small, intentional change away from a life that feels lighter, calmer, and more aligned with who God made you to be.
Welcome from the snowy MN I’m so grateful for you!
I hope you had a Blessed Thanksgiving Day if you are in the US! We had lots of family time and Thanksgiving and Christmas activities.
I was really reflecting on this last year for us and all that we have done because of the steps God is taking us through & just how thankful I am for every single day.
The intentional and slow days we are truly blessed with are surely not taken for granted. This month we have had Grandkids here for almost the whole month & all of that time with them is so special. If I was working a traditional job, I would not be available as I am now and it really got me thinking about this.
Parents drop off kids for 8 to 10 hours a day 5 days a weekThey drive to a job that pays for daycare, their car and home they don’t own.
Then gov takes 25-40% of income which is the same Gov that created the broken food system where the cheapest calories are the ones that poison you
Ingredients banned in other countries, are “totally fine” here in the US
We work ourselves to death and then eat food that slowly kills us and that what we call normal.
Here is our plan to opt out: We invested in skills that pay-Not another degrees, but skills we can use to work from home for our online business.
We try to eat real food while keeping the price down as much as possible, which means cooking from scratch and not eating out or getting takeout. That is a very RARE occasion here.
We make as many products ourselves with natural ingredients such as laundry detergents, soaps and it is usually cheaper and non toxic but with natural ingredients.
We don’t upgrade our cars, we drive them until they can’t run anymore, not because we can’t afford it, but because we value giving to causes with eternal rewards rather than looking good for others on earth. We live for deeper meaning and being the hands and feet of Jesus. We long to hear Well done, good and faithful servant.
And as a result there is no rat race, just peace here because we have control over the way we live.
This is our path out, 1 decision at a time
I would love for you to join me on this movement of glorifying God while building a business from home and keeping an intentional life.
I believe there is more to life than just running on this hamster wheel most people think is normal.
If you are ready to enjoy every day with the Bigger Plans God has for you, you are in the right place. Follow me on Instagram @claimingsimplicity as I unpack more of what God is calling me to for you.
Blessings, Monica

Hey Friend
I’m so grateful that I get to teach you about living a simpler life - I have always been passionate about living simply because it helps us live this life with our value of time first and never miss out on anything of our kids and now grandkids lives. I believe we are made for relationships and not made to be in the cycle of doing the same thing over and over every day working for someone else’s dream and I love teaching you to at least make some little tweaks to live more intentionally and with purpose too!
I have had some questions about my Simply Set Method that I started over 25 years ago to simplify cooking when I worked full time. I don’t spend alot of time cooking as I always have better things to do, but I like to have healthy meals on a small budget! I want to walk you through what my simple 2 hours a week dinner system that will cut your grocery bill in half looks like! Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be difficult and it certainly doesn’t have to take alot of time or money.
So first, I have recipes along with the grocery list to make family friendsly meals for the week for under $75 - we are a family of 4 and usually have leftovers. I have grocery prices from my area from Aldi and Walmart, so yours might be slightly different depending on where you live, but I bet you will be able to cut your grocery bill in half using my simply set method. I don’t have anything for food allergies at this time.
Next, I will walk you step by step in order to start cooking so you can make all the meals for the week in 2 hours. For instance, it might be to fry 3 pounds of hamburger, next mix this and that together -it is step by step to take away any confusion and keeps it super simple. After that, what to assemble in what order and then I have a daily schedule of exactly what to do each day. Some days, you are just putting the crockpot on low before you leave for the day and some days you are just putting a casserole that has already been assembled into the oven when you get home. When you have a plan, it will save you money and time. It gives you more time to spend with family and less time in the kitchen. I keep everything simple and homemade, so I don’t use canned cream of mushroom, etc (even thought you could if you want to but it is just as simple to make from scratch and cheaper)
I have tought over 5000 families now and the feedback I have had is that is has made their life so much easier, they love not having to cook because they are exhausted when they get home and they are saving so much money not getting take out or going out to eat!
If you want to cook from scratch, but don’t even know where to start, this is a great resource for any beginner that will keep you from being stressed in the kitchen.
I will put the link below, but I will be having a black Friday sale, so make sure you are following Claiming Simplicity on instagram. You won’t want to miss it if you want to try this method.
Watch for the Black Friday Sale on Instagram!
Talk soon! Have a great week!
