Release That Shit

The story of the $1,000 and the room with no windows, and what it taught me about what happens to your knowing when you're in survival. I get into why you can hand the wheel to anybody when you've stopped trusting your own gut, and how coming back to yourself starts in the body, not the mind.

It's 2am, the house is finally quiet, and that's exactly when the spiral starts. In this one I get honest about the nights my mind builds a whole future out of a fear that hasn't even happened, and why trying to think my way out of it never works. I break down what's actually happening in your body when the alarm is on, and hand you the one free tool that talks straight to your nervous system when your thoughts can't. No app, no technique with a name, just your own breath.

Work with me: If you're ready to stop white-knuckling your way through the 2am spirals, my 1:1 mentorship From Survival to Sovereign is where we rebuild your nervous system together. Or come sit in A Soft Place to Land, my 6-week group container for women doing this same work, together. www.yasminemonet.co

Sometimes you follow the call, you make the brave move, and then life sends you right back to where you started, and you're left wondering if you heard wrong the whole time. This episode is about that exact ache. The one where you did the courageous thing and it didn't unfold the way you pictured, so your mind starts calling it a failure. Here I unpack the difference between hard and wrong, why redirection was never punishment, and how to stop reading the in-between of your life like proof you messed up. You'll walk away with a reframe that lets you feel your feelings without turning them into evidence against yourself, and a simple practice for the moments the doubt gets loud.

Welcome to The Way Back, a series inside the show where I show you, in real time, the actual ways I find my way back to peace when survival takes over. No theory, no healed-up highlight reel, just real tools for real moments. This first one is about what to do when your mind starts spiraling into a future that hasn't even happened. You'll learn why your body believes what your eyes can see more than the fears in your head, and you'll leave with a practice you can use anywhere, in the car, in the doubt spiral, at 2am. Because softness was never one big moment. It's a hundred tiny ways back, and this is the first.

Want to go deeper than a single practice? Inside my 1:1 mentorship, we rebuild your nervous system together, layer by layer, so peace stops feeling like something you visit and starts feeling like home.

This is the origin. The real why behind selling almost everything I owned and moving my kids across the world, and it has nothing to do with being fearless. It's about the quiet hum so many of us learn to ignore, the comfortable cage that keeps a strong woman stuck, and the word that steals more dreams than fear ever could. If you've been waiting to feel ready before you choose the bigger life, this episode is for you. You'll walk away understanding why the leap always comes before the certainty, and one small shift that turns waiting into moving.

Ready to stop waiting and start trusting yourself? This is the exact work I walk women through inside my 1:1 mentorship. The door's open when you are.

Somewhere along the way we got taught that something is better than nothing. The crumbs. The bare minimum. The text back three days later. The love that's "not that bad." So we stayed grateful for scraps because we didn't think we deserved the whole meal. In this episode I'm calling it out — in our relationships, our friendships, the way we let people half-show-up for us. Because settling for something isn't humility, sis. It's survival. And you are allowed to want the whole thing. If you've been talking yourself into "at least it's something"… it's time to release that. Closes with a tool: a gut-check to know the difference between patience and settling.

You're the one everybody calls when it falls apart. The fixer. The advice-giver. The strong friend, the eldest daughter, the one who always has it together. So nobody thinks to ask if you're okay — because you've never let them see that you're not. In this episode I'm saying the quiet part out loud: being "the strong one" isn't a personality, it's a survival role. We learned that if we needed nothing, we couldn't be let down. But baby, you are allowed to be held too. You're allowed to fall apart and still be safe. If you've been carrying everybody while running on empty… this one's for you, sis. Closes with a tool: how to let yourself receive — and the one small ask that starts breaking the "I'm fine" armor.✨ Work with me:

I used to mother the way I learned to survive — bracing, snapping, running on empty, doing everything for everybody and calling it love. But my kids didn't need a martyr. They needed a mama who was regulated.

In this episode I'm telling you the truth about what changed when I started healing myself first, how I learned to parent from calm instead of chaos, and why the most powerful thing you can do for your babies is become a soft place you can land too. If you've been mothering from survival, snapping and then drowning in guilt… baby, this one's for you. You're not a bad mama. You're a depleted one. Closes with a tool: a quick nervous-system reset you can do mid-meltdown — theirs or yours.

I have a confession: I recorded over thirteen episodes of this podcast and sat on every single one for almost a year. Too messy, not polished enough, not ready. In this episode I'm telling you what I realized when I finally listened back — that waiting until you feel ready is survival mode, and beginning before you're ready is the softness. If you've got a dream, a voice memo, a whole version of yourself you've been "saving for later"...you're not lazy, sis. You're bracing. This one's for you. Closes with a tool: hand on heart, breath, and the words "I don't have to be ready, I just have to begin."✨ Work with me: I'm Yasmine Monet, Soft Life Nervous System Mentor.

This is the why...

After 20 years of being everybody's safe place; the diary, the strong one, the one holding everybody but never held. I took a giant leap of faith and bet on myself. In this episode I'm telling you why I built this space, why I never thought my story had any value, and how I found me at 36, unafraid. If you've been the keeper of everyone's secrets but never the one being held… baby, I see you. There's power in your softness. Your story might just be your testimony. Includes a soft tool to close: hand on your body, breath, and an affirmation to carry with you.
