Some people don't snap into a new mindset. They grow into it. They heal into it.

In this clip from Episode 1, Mona quietly dismantles the pressure to perform transformation and offers something more honest in its place. You don't owe anyone the details of what you've been through. What you've learned and whether it might help someone else is generous in and of itself. 

Dear Mango is built for people who own that things are always shifting, as they constantly figure things out, while being both teacher and student of their own lives. 

✍🏽For some people, it's less about snapping into a mindset. It's more about growth and healing to be in a mindset. — September 27, 2017

Before I had a name for any of it, I was living it. And writing it. Over and over again. Maybe you have been, too. This is the origin of Dear Mango, the podcast. A one-minute story about learning pain before love, losing myself, rebuilding from the ground up, leaving what no longer served me, and finally betting on myself when no one else would. Dear Mango is a podcast for everyone who survived while others believed they should have self-destructed. Hosted by Certified Transformational Coach and Study Yourself Practitioner, Mona Khalil.
