September 16, 2025 156: The Unexpected Villain with Amanda Vanessa
In today’s episode, I am joined by Amanda Vanessa, and we’re exploring the idea that if you’re not the villain in someone else’s story, you’re probably not being your authentic self…
When we step into our power, our authenticity, our full expression, we are very likely going to trigger someone.
Being our authentic self and expressing ourselves has become taboo, so many of us are still hiding, contorting, suppressing, dimming our light in order to fit in and so when you step into your power, truth and authenticity, it’s going to make others that feel unsafe to do that uncomfortable.
Triggers are a beautiful thing, they reveal to us what’s unhealed, unresolved, unintegrated, our of alignment so that we can come back to alignment, authenticity and truth.
We’re often so afraid to trigger someone because it feels like it threatens our belonging which threatens our survival but when we realise that our belonging is within, it’s our responsibility, we can cultivate it for ourselves and it can never be taken away.
So often we are relying on others to meet our needs for love, acceptance and belonging and then we feel trapped in our lives and relationships.
When you cultivate self-love, acceptance and belonging from within, you are able to be your full self, this is where you find your freedom, and this is what allows you to connect with your soul tribe.
When you stop trying to fit in and be your full self, which will involve accepting that not everyone will like you, you’re able to magnetise the people that LOVE you and resonate with your true self, and you’ll experience the love, connection and belonging you’ve been craving.
I’m excited to share this conversation with you, it’s so powerful and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and what resonated for you.

September 12, 2025 155: The Embodied Woman Panel—Hear from the women of the EWE, their experiences and wisdom
In today’s episode, I am joined by Amberlee Rose and 3 women from the Embodied Woman Experience 2024 Intake to share what they learned and received from the EWE
This call is so frickin’ magical and profound, I have journeyed with some of these women for YEARS and others we began our journey with the EWE, and to witness them grow, heal, evolve, and come home to themselves, their power, truth and authenticity, their aliveness, their light, their love… woweee!!!
I can’t express the love and gratitude I feel for these women and to have them on the podcast is a true honour, their journeys, their transformations have been profound, their wisdom is so deep and I am so excited to share with you their stories and what’s possible FOR YOU when you say YES to you, prioritise you and do the work to come home to your true self
Each journey is unique just as yours is unique, it’s not about having the same experiences and transformations as them, it’s about realising that it’s all possible for you too when you say YES to you and do the work—join the community, hire the mentor/coach, do the practices, show up for yourself, love yourself to the capacity that is available—and continue to expand that capacity, to love more, to show up more, and witness your whole world transform.
This is such a powerful conversation, let’s dive in…

September 04, 2025 153: Personal Transformation through Death, Rebirth, Sitting In The Void & Coming Home To Truth
My story
2025 has been a MASSIVE year of integration from some incredibly deep work I did with my mentor, Victoria Bauman, last year.
Through our work I felt a huge recalibration to truth, authenticity, alignment, and embodied love. It allowed me to anchor into deep safety and tap into the courage required to make some BIG decisions that previously felt too scary and this completely changed my life, allowing me to become the Embodiment Of Love, an initiation I have been moving through since opening my company a couple years ago, Embodied Love Coaching.
In this episode, I share with you my journey of death, rebirth, and sitting in the void, shifting how I show up and respond to life, shifting the lens of lack, scarcity, not good enoughness, to overflowing abundance, love, and truth.
I share with you incredible realisations, messages, and wisdom that has been coming through for me, for you, for us, and where we are heading on this journey together…

December 25, 2024 150: The 10 Good Girl Conditioning Programs, Embracing Your Sexuality, Feminine Power & Magnetism w Alex Harvey
In this episode of the Good Girl Unleashed podcast, host Monique welcomes Alex Harvey, a coach dedicated to helping women live authentically and embrace their true nature.

The conversation dives deep into the concept of 'good girl conditioning'—a set of societal programs that restrict women from expressing their true selves and achieving their full potential.

Alex outlines ten key conditioning programs that often impede women's empowerment, ranging from beliefs around sexuality and attractiveness to the notion that success must come through struggle.

Both Monique and Alex share personal anecdotes and insights on overcoming these limiting beliefs through acceptance, self-awareness, and the transformative power of sexuality and sensuality.

They also discuss the broader implications of these conditioning programs on various aspects of life, including business, relationships, and personal growth.

Additionally, Alex introduces her upcoming offerings, including a Sex Magic Ritual system and a comprehensive 12-month curriculum designed to help women harness their innate power and creativity.

This episode is a profound exploration of the journey towards self-liberation and living from a place of true authenticity.
