Expecting people to show up with your emotional depth, care, and intensity can quietly lead to disappointment — and self-doubt.

In this episode of MON (Monday Over Negativity), we talk about why expecting others to love, communicate, and respond the way you do often hurts — and why that doesn’t mean you’re too much. Through MON Stories, personal reflection, and a faith-based perspective, this episode unpacks the difference between expectations and projection, emotional capacity, and learning to stop punishing yourself for caring deeply.

You’ll be reminded that everyone is wired differently on purpose, that disappointment is proof you cared — not that you cared too much — and that redirecting unreturned energy back into yourself is an act of self-love.

Your wiring is sacred. Your depth is divine. Keep showing up.

01:31 MON Stories: Still Showing Up

07:00 Stop Expecting You From People

10:40 The Orchestra Analogy: Different Wiring, Same Worth

13:40 Faith Anchor: Different Functions, Same Value

Takeaways:

• Disappointment is proof that you cared, not that you cared too much.

• Different wiring does not mean different worth.

• Emotional depth is a gift, not a liability.

• Redirect unreturned energy back into yourself.

• You’re not too much — you’re exactly enough.

In this episode of MON — Monday Over Negativity, we talk about what it really means to show up for yourself when motivation fades — especially on Mondays, the day that reflects how we truly feel.

Through real MON Stories and honest reflection, this episode explores resilience, personal growth, and why so many people quietly quit on themselves during the start of a new year. We break down the pressure of New Year’s resolutions, the importance of investing your energy intentionally, and how self-trust is built through consistency — not perfection.

This is a reminder that it’s okay to pause, rest, and move slowly — just don’t disappear on yourself.

If January feels heavier than expected, this episode is for you.

• Mondays reveal our real habits, energy, and mindset

• Resilience is built by staying, not restarting

• Investing in yourself starts with protecting your energy

• Self-trust grows when you keep small promises to yourself

• Pausing is human — labeling yourself a quitter is harmful

• Motivation comes and goes; habits carry you through

• The 24-hour rule can stop temporary feelings from becoming permanent decisions

• Affirmations help re-center you during hard moments

• Small steps still count — especially on low-energy days

Before 2026 starts, there’s weight you were never meant to carry.

In this episode of MON: Monday Over Negativity, I reflect on why 2025 felt so heavy — not because it broke us, but because we kept carrying fear, expired versions of ourselves, expectations we never agreed to, and emotional weight that was never assigned to us.

This isn’t about reinventing yourself.
It’s about releasing what no longer fits.

If you’re tired, reflective, or quietly done pretending you’re excited about things you’ve outgrown, this episode is for you.

Still showing up. 🤍

Takeaways

• 2025 was a chaotic year filled with ups and downs.
• It's okay to feel tired and reflective at the year's end.
• Honoring the version of yourself that made it through is important.

• Transformation requires releasing what no longer fits.
• Boring moments are where true growth happens.
• Obedience and alignment are key to personal growth.
• Life is about intention, not just busyness.
• Feeling tired is a sign of growth, not failure.

This episode is for the ones who are tired of starting over every Monday — the ones who set goals, get excited, burn out by Wednesday, and whisper, “Why can’t I stay consistent?”

Today, we’re breaking down the real reason habits don’t stick — and the tiny 1% shift that creates a completely different identity over time. Not aesthetic. Not all-or-nothing. Not a full life makeover overnight.
Just small habits with big impact.

Inside this episode:
✨ Why your habits fail before they begin
✨ The 1% Rule (and how it changes EVERYTHING)
✨ Habit stacking in real-life, not Pinterest fantasy
✨ Becoming the person who does the habit — not performing it
✨ The faith piece: Building your ark before the rain

Because MON isn’t about showing up perfect — it’s showing up real. Even at 75%. Even at 1%.
And the tiny habit you build today might be what carries you in the season you’re praying for tomorrow.

Episode 14: The December Reset — This Isn’t a Glow Up… It’s a Becoming

Welcome to Episode 14 and happy December 1st, Mon family. We’re ending the year differently — with clarity, structure, and a real reset… not the aesthetic kind, the becoming kind.

This episode kicks off our 5-week December series, where we build the foundation for who you’re becoming in 2026.
No rushing. No reinventing yourself overnight. Just clearing space mentally, emotionally, spiritually, digitally so the real you can finally breathe.

In today’s reset, we’ll cover:

• Mental Declutter — closing the tabs in your mind
• Energy Reset — stopping the micro-leaks draining your spark
• Digital Declutter — refreshing your nervous system
• Space Reset — creating an environment that supports clarity
• Schedule Reset — building gentle, predictable rhythms
• Faith Anchor: “God will meet me in every small pour.”
• Self-Love Homework: Write a reflection letter to the you you're leaving behind

Plus… we start with two hilarious MON stories (from potluck chaos to homeowner struggles) to remind you that you're not alone you're still showing up.

This isn’t a glow up.
This is a becoming.
And today, you clear the space for it.

Thank you for beginning this December journey with me.

Happy MON & Happy Thanksgiving Week! 🦃💙In this special holiday episode, we’re stepping into Thanksgiving with gratitude, chaos, humor — and yes, the iconic MON clapbacks you will need at the dinner table.

From wild listener stories (a parrot almost blessing the turkey?? dry mac & cheese??) to grounding reminders about gratitude, healing, and boundaries… this episode will carry you through the busiest week of the year.

Inside this episode you’ll hear:

• Funny Thanksgiving MON Stories

• Holiday clapbacks for “When are you having kids?”

• A grounding moment on gratitude + real life

• 1 Thessalonians 5:18

If your holiday looks quieter, messier, or different this year — you’re not alone. You don’t need a perfect year to be grateful. You just need honesty, peace, and a little MON in the morning.

Take a breath.

Eat good food.

Laugh.

And keep showing up — even during the holidays.

Episode Takeaways

• Don’t compare your reality to someone else’s snapshot. People show moments, not truth.

• Seek discernment to understand your own truth. It keeps you grounded in what’s real for you.

• Stay rooted in your own journey. Comparison only creates confusion and dissatisfaction.

• Discernment helps you recognize authenticity — in yourself and others.

• Personal growth requires self-awareness and reflection. You can’t evolve without understanding who you are.

• Focus on your own path, not the pace of others. You’re not behind; you’re becoming.

• Prayer and reflection bring clarity. Slow down enough to hear what God is revealing.

• Understanding your reality is a personal journey. No one else is living your story.

This episode is for anyone in their messy middle — the part of your journey where life feels slow, confusing, uncomfortable, or chaotic… but God is quietly shaping you behind the scenes.

Takeaways:

• Why the messy middle matters
• Protecting your canvas while God is still mixing your colors
• Root work, silent growth, and oak-tree faith

• Why people critique what they never helped build
• Two hilarious Mon Stories

And the fact that you’re still showing up? That’s everything.
