Moni is a busy wife and mother with a passion for mental health. After high school, Moni attended college but soon chose having a career over pursuing
a degree. In 2004, Moni had her first child and became a stay-at-home mom. She always had a dream of becoming a mental health therapist, but thought she was too old to go back and finish what started over a decade ago. When her youngest started kindergarten, Moni made the decision to go back to school.
A year before she was set to graduate, Moni embarked on a journey that would forever change the trajectory of not only her own life, but the lives of her family and others who have heard her story. Moni was suffering from severe depression and considered dropping out of school. In January of 2018, Moni decided to reclaim her life and started taking care of her health.
In the past 3+ years, Moni has lost 118lbs. “When people see me, they focus on the physical changes. While the physical changes are awesome, what this journey has done for my mental health often brings me to tears. Making this investment in myself has saved my life, allowing me to be a better version of myself.”
Moni graduated from the University of Nebraska Omaha with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2019, proving that it’s never too late, and you’re never too old, to chase your dreams. While she had visions of becoming a mental health therapist, Moni uses her degree and her own journey to help others. “I receive several messages from individuals who share their journeys with me. We celebrate weight loss but my favorite things to celebrate are the non-scale victories. To have someone tell me because of my story, they started theirs and they finally see their worth, it makes me cry happy tears. This journey I’ve been on has not always been easy, it’s been full of a lot of peaks and valleys, but I never gave up. To hear people say my story has inspired them to create their own, words can’t express how much that means to me. You are beautiful, you are strong, and you are worth it.”
Moni has recently created, Unearth Yourself, which can be found on Facebook and Instagram. “I wanted to create a community to help individuals realize their worth and that they are not alone in the feelings they are experiencing. I get it.”   A Hurrdat Media Production. Hurrdat Media is a digital media and commercial videoproduction company based in Omaha, NE.
