Moms Changing the World turns 4 years this month! To celebrate, our episode today is with children's book author, among many other things, Monique Aiken. If you have been a long time listener, you know that I LOVE to highlight my favorite children's books and their authors.
Monique Aiken is a first-generation Jamaican American and a strategy consultant, entrepreneur, and podcast host. She lives in a 100-plus year old house in New Jersey with her husband and son—the original "Cutie Patootie" who inspired the book. Her first children's book, a love letter to her son (and all children), was published in January 2024.
She has a rich background in traditional finance, in New York, London and Houston and after that Monique has focused her energies on advancing the global impact economy with the Clinton Global Initiative, Mission Investors Exchange, where she led Programs focused on Foundations to begin or deepen their practice of impact investing and working with Tideline, a boutique strategy consultancy for Impact Investing. She's currently an Managing DIrector at the Investment Integration Project.
She is also the creator and host of MJN’s podcast “Into the Record”. She is co-founder of the ReStarter Fund, an economic and climate justice initiative aiming to be a small business lifeline in these challenging times of polycrisis.
Monique holds an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and a B.Sc. in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, where she studied Spanish and Portuguese.
If you were close to NYC during NYC Climate Week, on Sunday 9/22/24, Monique's nonprofit collective, Make Justice Normal hosted a family-friendly “streetfair for good” in Queens, NY which uses social practice art to inspire climate action. Interested folks can learn more about it here.

We are back and excited to hit 10,000 dowloads this week! Thanks to eveyone who has listened, liked, shared and reviewed. Now its your turn- drop a review about your favorite episode, topic, guest or part of Moms Changing the World!
Today's guest, Kim Gross, is the founder/creator of the 5-Step Power Pathway. She helps people pleasers and perfectionists who have spent a lifetime of perpetual suffering because they have identified with these patterns. She helps guide clients on a journey of self-healing so that they can have more meaningful connections and have the courage to create the life they desire.
As a recovering codependent, she helps people to go from perfectionism and people pleasing to powerful.
She spent a lifetime pleasing and perfecting and all the while losing herself in the roles that she played. It is her passion and desire to help others to create real and meaningful relationships and create the inner power to "Dare Greatly" as they create the life they desire.
Kim is the host of the popular podcast “Masks Off” and is a champion for helping people find out exactly who they are behind the masks they wear. She helps people awaken themselves by guiding them to undo patterns, stop living for others, shift their mindset and start healing.

We are back with another fun episode that will put a smile on your face and laugh in your spirit! I had so much fun interviewing Cat and Nat awhile back that I am glad to share it with you now as we start summer.
CATHERINE BELKNAP and NATALIE TELFER have been friends since they were teens but grew closer with motherhood when they chose to confide in each other about the more taboo topics of parenting. It wasn’t long after that when they decided to bring the conversation online in hopes of helping other moms feel less isolated. Their rapidly exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.”
When they felt there was no safe space for moms to be themselves, no confidante to turn to without losing prized relationship-. Cat & Nat decided to change this. With seven children between them, the duo has been through it all, and in Mom Secrets (released 3/29/22)—the follow-up to their nationally bestselling Mom Truths—they’ve invited the legion of moms who love them to share their own darkest parenting secrets, and use those to kick off their own stories, going deeper about big topics like guilt, balancing career with motherhood, and body image. Mom Secrets cover confessions such as:
Check out clips from their appearances on The Today Show, GMA Strahan & Sara ‘Momfessions’, TIDE pods commercial, and others.
CAT & NAT’S MOM SECRETS: Coffee-Fueled Confessions from the Mom Trenches
by Catherine Belknap & Natalie Telfer
Praise for Cat and Nat’s Mom Truths:
“What do new mothers need the most? Sleep, for one. But after sleep, they need good friends, people to let them know they aren’t alone in this strange new world they are navigating. Enter Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer ... Their new book is funny, honest, and encouraging.” —New York Post
“Accept the chaos, embrace the mom bod and stress less about germs, among other things. That’s courtesy of Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer, friends from high school who reconnected as first-time mothers. Parenting books left them feeling like they already blew it, the writers said, so they looked elsewhere for affirmation.” —Wall Street Journal
