During this solo episode, Mona shares how she has rebuilt her self-worth and self esteem and healed emotionally, mentally and physically since her divorce 6 years ago. Other topics addressed include:

Looking back I am able to get a clear understanding of what brought me the peace and joy I have today.

Whether you stay in your current relationship or go please know that we all deserve joy and peace!!!

You can’t change the past, but you can understand it to change the narrative or story you tell yourself and this helps improve life in the present and the future.

We all are doing the best we can in the moment and when we know better we CAN do better!!! (Maya Angelou)

Understand what is changeable, focus on your side of the street, take action towards thriving!!!

Feel it, visualize it and see yourself taking the action steps to move forward on making the changes you want to create to have the life you want!

Emotional death by a thousand papercuts occurs because you don’t understand your own or each other’s neurotypes, childhood wounds or vulnerabilities. You wish your partner could change and do things more like you do and you are both unintentionally hurting and triggering each other…your nervous systems are continuously dysregulated and you may find yourself in a state of fight, flight, freeze or fawn often.

Mourning, grief and disbelief that our marriage was ending after 30 years, yet we still loved each other!!!

Resentment, anger and regret.

Anxiety, depression, despair.

Feeling all the feels and having a support system that could hold me close and love me through some of the most emotional and lowest points in my life.

Working on my mental health, finding a good therapist, listening to podcasts and reading books, walking, spending time outside in the sun and at the beach.

Reconnecting with the things I loved when I was younger, that I was no longer including in my life.

Getting clear about my own needs, wants, desires, and non-negotiables.

Practicing self-care and saying no to things that no longer mattered to me and saying "fuck yes" to the things that I was most passionate about or that brought me peace.

Rebuilding my self esteem and self-worth, and then putting myself out there again to start dating.

Eating healthy and exercising.

Getting clear about my dreams and taking steps to move forward on making them a reality… asking myself “will I regret this if I don’t do it?”

Having and communicating healthy boundaries in every relationship in my life which included work, friends, family and dating.

Tapping into my life purpose and moving forward to making that a reality.

Being kind and patient with myself, and fully accepting what I needed to heal and grow.

Forgiveness, healing somatically and spiritually and finally, knowing that other peoples opinions of me is none of my business, and is oftentimes a reflection of their own unhealed trauma or pain.

You can’t do the work for two people!!!

Own your truth!

Let old patterns die!!!

Celebrating freedom from unintentional hurt and pain…healing, growth and living an aligned life.

Saying goodbye to the old version of me and embracing my authentic self.

Radical acceptance and responsibility for living my truth!

Understanding my own neurotype, my wants, needs, desires, values and preferences.

Knowing that I deserve to live my best, most authentic life!!!!
