A personal, living case study on becoming the woman I always talk about helping others become ||

We’re flipping the script today and sharing an interview where the beautiful Louise of the “Healing Honeys”  podcast hosted Monica to hear all about HER personal healing, business journey, and feminine embodiment path—not just the highlight reel of how she got to where she is today, but the real nitty gritty she hasn’t shared anywhere else.

If you’ve ever looked at Monica’s life and thought “must be nice,” this is your reminder that even in the mess, the “wtf” moments, the rebuild, and the unknown—it’s all happening FOR you. And, honestly, this is what the path of true feminine leadership and nervous system healing really looks like.

INSIDE THE EPISODE:

💅 How a food blog and a missing period became Monica’s wake-up call to deeper healing

💅 What actually happens in your body when you fully surrender

💅 The sneaky ways stress hides in high-functioning women

💅 When “doing the work” becomes a new form of self-abandonment

💅 The myth of balance when you’re the breadwinner

💅 How letting go of control was the key to building real confidence

💅 The truth about building a business when you secretly want to burn it all down

💅 Why feminine women keep choosing unavailable men (and it’s not your fault)

💅 The subtle difference between being empowered and just being in control

💅 Why trauma healing without embodiment keeps you stuck in over-responsibility, resentment, and masculine energy

The part your nervous system plays in getting the "more" you say you want ||

Spoiler Alert: You don’t have to be fully healed to manifest what you want.

In this episode, Monica breaks down one of the most asked questions she gets: “How do I know if I’ve done 'enough' healing to call in more—love, money, confidence, ease?”

And, quite frankly, the personal development obsession with “fixing yourself forever” is keeping so many women stuck in a perpetual sense of not-enoughness. A feeling that they must earn their next level by being perfectly regulated, perfectly healed, and perfectly processed. NO, just no. And let’s be honest, staying out of your next level until you’re “fully healed” is just perfectionism.

So, if you’ve been stuck in the healing loop or waiting to heal "enough" before taking action, this is likely the wake-up call you didn’t even know you needed.

INSIDE THE EPISODE:

💫 How to know when you're healed “enough” to move forward

💫 Why waiting to be "fully healed" keeps you playing small

💫 The difference between healing and expanding (and why both can coexist)

💫 Signs you’re avoiding growth by staying in the trauma loop

💫 What it really takes to become HER now, not some day in the future

💫 The ways that nervous system safety plays into your next level

💫 The power of making decisions before you feel ready

💫 The actual goal of healing (hint: it’s not perfection)

The conversation most people are too scared to have, especially in today’s world…

You’re not crazy for wanting to be claimed. You’re not broken for craving to be pushed up against a wall, devoured, and told “𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦” (by a safe man). And today’s episode will explain the fact that you’re definitely not alone in these desires—there’s biology, research, polarity, and lived experience that help explain exactly why women, especially powerful women, crave this level of masculine presence and leadership.

INSIDE THE EPISODE:

🔥 The primal craving that most women are ashamed to admit

🔥 How equality killed polarity (and what to do about it)

🔥 The hidden cost of “doing it all” and why your body is begging to let go

🔥 How your masculine energy might be training him to stay passive

🔥 Why your desire to be dominated is actually a sign of inner safety

🔥 The hormonal ripple effect of being in your masculine all day

🔥 Embodied submission vs performative femininity

🔥 Why men are pulling away (and how you can call them forward)

🔥 What you actually need to shift if you want to feel feminine, desired, and turned on again

A profound conversation we rarely have about men ||

In today’s episode, we’re joined (for a second time!) by Connor Beaton—founder of ManTalks, author, facilitator, and father of two—to talk about why so many men feel stuck, what most women get wrong about masculinity, and the real reason your partner might not be initiating sex. Whether you’re raising boys, dating one, or married to one, this is what you need to know.

They go deeper on:

🔥 Why fathers should discipline sons and mothers should discipline daughters—and what happens when that gets flipped

🔥 The quiet confusion boys carry when mum tells him how to be a man… and then, is in a relationship with the opposite

🔥 The #1 way mums unknowingly emasculate their sons—and what to do instead

🔥 Why so many men today are struggling in relationships (and what women can do without turning into their coach)

🔥 Why so many “nice guys” are secretly angry, resentful, and sexually shut down

🔥 The hidden trauma behind porn addiction, risk aversion, and avoidant behavior in men

🔥 How women are confusing standards with unrealistic expectations in dating

🔥 What self-sabotage actually is and how it plays out in men’s lives

🔥 What a modern male initiation can look like and how to support your sons in theirs

🔥 The overlooked reason men pull away emotionally (even when they want to show up)

🔥 The difference between helping your man grow… and accidentally mothering him
