March 31, 2021Episode 68: Nic Frick - Career Alignment
Gah! I love this this woman because she's so unapologetically herself! Tune in as Nic and I talk about how "the trance" shows up for women in our career and in our self care. You might be suprised to learn that by being the "work hero", you are actually demonstrating how the trance of unworthiness can sneak up on us in the most unexpected ways.
Nic Frick is a career coach, guiding women through the roller coaster of career transitions. Her holistic approach is a result of her commitment to discovering her own self-care practices and her career spanning tech, recruiting, customer service, and teaching yoga. Her programs integrate both career growth strategies and healing modalities to ensure work-life balance and sustainability for her clients.
She believes that you can have your dream job if you trust your own authority, start with your why, and lead from your values. Nic prides herself on being the best hugger anyone has ever met. She is committed to dismantling white supremacy, feels happiest on a surfboard, loves sending handwritten letters, and starts getting ready for bed at 8:15 PM.
Nic grew up in Wisconsin and has lived in Minnesota, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Peru. She is currently living with her hubby and daughter in San Francisco, California and they are obsessed with finding the tastiest food possible and avoiding winter as much as possible.
In 2017, before becoming a mother, Nic decided to name it “The Year of Nicole” to explore what self-love was really about. She learned, healed, and acquired many tools she now uses in her work with women.
Usually, women have to look at their careers in tandem with their self-care, because these are deeply connected.
Self-care means investigating your thoughts.
We have to nourish ourselves and then give to others from our overflow.
Women have been taught the mentality of scarcity mindset through the patriarchy, but it’s important to invest in ourselves, now more than ever.
Nurturing yourself can be taking a lunch break, which can mean a profound shift.
Women invest 90% of their income in their family and their community while men invest 30%.
Most women at work are facing burnout.
“It’s going to be hard to find a job if I don’t have a job” is a cultural lie that keeps us stuck.

March 24, 2021Episode 67: Carole Marie Downing - Tune to Joy
I love this conversation so much because it’s about the transformative power of singing and music for healing and attunement to ourselves and others. It’s about creating connections and daring to use the instrument of our bodies to bring our voices more fully into the world.
How beautiful is that?
Meet Carole Marie Downing, a coach, song leader, and facilitator passionate about creating resilience through challenging times. Her initial career was in nursing, working in areas of hospice and integrative medicine. She then shifted to coaching after receiving a master's degree in psychology, emphasizing consciousness, health, and healing.
She utilizes both her professional background and personal experience to gently support clients to tune in to their capacity to thrive. After a loss and significant life transitions, her most recent work as a song leader and music guide encourages people to sing and learn music in a way that creates connection and cultivates the transformational act of bringing our voices fully into the world. Carole Marie lives in Portland, Oregon, and loves hot cups of tea. She enjoys making music out of everything life offers up and going barefoot in the sand.
** Carole believes we can use music as a way to create more connection and bring our voices to the world.**
Attunement - If we were to look at an instrument that was out of tune, we wouldn't say that it was broken or hopeless; instead, we would tune it, and I feel this is the same with people.
If life isn't going exactly as we would like, and we are out of sync with the world, it’s simply a request for re-attunement and noticing where we need to come back into alignment.
We can look at our relationships with ourselves and others as being out of tune or in harmony.
Initially, Carole experienced music as a way to heal from the grief of loss.
Sometimes, life experiences can’t be captured in words, and only music can help us express and move through our pain. When we allow ourselves to feel that deeply, we become wise to the fact that there can even be other emotions felt while we are in pain, such as beauty and gratitude.
Our culture influences whether we feel safe enough or confident enough to bring our voices into the world. Many people have this idea that they have to sound a certain way to sing, which is not true.
It’s so important that more of us access our voices in this way and that we look at a chorus as a metaphor for our humanity. Sometimes there is disharmony, and this is always true; before we have harmony together, it’s a necessary part of the process.

March 10, 2021Episode 65: Robin Winn - Born By Design
I adored this interview and I’ve been geeking out on Human Deign now for weeks and can’t seem to get enough, and I have Robin Winn to thank!

In addition to being a fabulous facilitator and coach Robin has written two amazing and relatable books on the subject of Human Design that make it so easy and enjoyable to understand this technology and apply it to your life.
I highly recommend to anyone who has not yet heard of Human Design that you get your chart downloaded, which you can do in a matter of minutes as long as you know your birth time, date, and place. Then, once you know what you are, head on over to Instagram and we can geek out, together!
Robin Winn is a best-selling author of understanding your clients through human design, the breakthrough technology, and understanding the centers in human design, the facilitator's guide to transforming pain into possibility.
Twenty-five years into her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, she was introduced to human design as a way to more deeply understand herself and her clients, this transformational knowledge marked a turning point, opening a door of compassion and empowering her work in surprising and unexpected ways.
Robin is a writer, speaker, transformational, coach, founder, and director of the training programs. Understanding yourself through human design and understanding your clients through human design. She lives on Maui with her wife yarrow. Hey Robin. Hey Monica. Thanks for having me. Oh, I'm so happy to have you.
Human design is a terma up. I don't know if you're familiar with it, the word terma, but it's in Tibet and Buddhism. They said that certain information was hidden until the right time that people could understand it and use it.
It was brought to us in 1989, relatively recently that it showed up as this fellow, this Canadian was off the coast of Spain came back. He was on a retreat, came back to his cabin and these light beings. Downloaded the information to him- for humanity, for the evolution of humanity.
Most importantly, Human Design is for parents to parent their children because in human design, each person is a piece of a gigantic puzzle. And when you're living your piece, You bring what you're here to bring. You're happy. The world benefits. If you're trying to live somebody else's piece, it's kind of like a curse you're miserable.
Human Design works with 64 hexagrams of the iching which is for those of you who aren't familiar, it's an ancient Chinese divination system that has 64 hexagrams each hexagram has six lines.
In human design, it’s a curse not to love your unique puzzle piece- meaning, a self-imposed curse, like a tragedy.
In human design, we have channels, open centers, and defined centers
There are 5 types in Human Design: Reflector, Manifester, Projector, Manifesting Generator, Generator.
Generators are the “worker bee’s of humanity” and if they have a defines sacral center they have the privilege of constant energy, unless they are doing something that isn’t aligned with who they are, then they burn out.
We are designed to work together in unity and each of us has an important piece of the human puzzle. To be stronger as we come together to create a better world for all.

March 03, 2021Episode 64: Laura Clark - Listening to the Signs
In this episode, Monica and Laura dive into the world of intuition and how our soul wisdom can read the signs that can lead us where we need to go.
Laura Clark is one of those beautiful souls you meet along the way that gently nudges you to look more deeply at the signs that are always within our view if we dare to look, trust and believe in them.
This interview was so fun because Laura and I love geeking out on signs. I loved sharing our intuitive hits with each other about the growth we’ve experienced as the mystery of our lives continually unfolds with grace, sass, and a whole lot of cosmic humor.
Do you see signs in your life? After this episode, you’d likely start seeing them everywhere!

You are welcome!
Laura Clark teaches you how to access your inner knowing and align with your purpose to live your truth purposefully and passionately.
Laura Clark is also a bestselling author, engaging speaker, and founder of the Wise Living Institute & Living Your truth Sisterhood. Laura champions others to awaken their purpose and inner wisdom, and to use them as a beacon in stepping confidently and courageously forward living one’s own truth.
As a sassy and spiritual guru, Laura believes everyone can step forward to a fuller, more joyful, and abundant life.
Show Notes:
Living your truth is really knowing yourself intimately - who you are, what your purpose is, and taking simple, and yet courageous steps forward, having that be your foundation.
Laura didn't have the picket fence or the two-car garage or the 3.1 children that everybody else told her that she was going to have in her life. She was following the path of others and wasn’t happy, which eventually led to depression.
When we are unbalanced it's because we are not allowing ourselves to follow our creative truths the way we want to, the way we are guided to. And so the depression came because she was ignoring what she really wanted to be doing, which forced Laura to start listening to her inner wisdom and guidance.
The golden thread of our life runs through each and every aspect of who we are and what we do. If you look for it, you’ll see it.
Sometimes we have to choose a path for ourselves that has no safety net so that we can’t retreat back into the comfort of what we knew. There’s wisdom in this.
If you are paying attention you can start to see the signs that can lead you in the direction you need to head in.
There are many different languages of listening. Sometimes signs are taps, subtle nuances, patterns, number sequences, animals showing up in our line of sight.
Signs can also come as cosmic 2x4s. If you are not listening and paying attention, they keep coming back with more and more force, to gain your attention.
Sometimes waiting is the answer and you just have to wait until more is revealed.
All of us have access to intuition, but like anything else, you have to practice and develop your relationship with it.

February 24, 2021Episode 63: Ken Mossman - Big Boys Cry
I met Ken almost a decade ago and felt an instant kinship with him.
In addition to being a masterful coach, I admire his capacity as a human being to hold complexity and emotion, as well as his great dedication to working with Men toward greater emotional fluency.
After the events at the Capitol on January 6th, I reached out to Ken seeking comfort and a deeper understanding of what I was witnessing. I felt helpless, triggered, and overwhelmed by the series of events that had unfolded that day and how we got there.
Throughout this episode, I was mightily triggered. I’m grateful for Ken’s steady and compassionate response as we explored the underpinnings of what happened that day and what we can do to start to be part of the change we want to see in the world for the men in our country and our sons.
Ken Mossman has specialized in working with men for almost two decades. With an international clientele from a wide variety of industries from finance, academia, and technology – to entrepreneurship and the arts, Ken’s focus is on helping men expand their emotional literacy, fluency, and flexibility so they can lead with presence and empathy.
Ken is a Senior Faculty Member with CTI, the Co-Active Training Institute. In addition to his coaching and training work, he writes regularly, hosts the “Mojo for the Modern Man” podcast, and designs and leads intensive, deep programs for men.
Show Notes:
On January 6th, 2021, Ken's sister contacted him about the siege at the Capitol and the unfolding violence. Ken's reaction to what he saw on the news felt like a “gut punch" and included tension in his neck and jaw along with a sense of “there’s no surprise here” while simultaneously feeling the shock of what was happening.
The roots of the events have a larger cultural context that we seem to be in denial about.
"We are a nation of good and decent people” seems to be the refrain heard over and over again. Still, the truth is that our nation was built on wobbly legs of genocide, slavery, colonization, and brutality.
Many of the images we saw that day are emblematic of toxic white male privilege and gross characterizations of “The Man Box” in cosplay.
A population fed on a steady diet of misinformation and a toxic model of white male privilege and feelings of anger and invisibility created the Capitol events that day.
One of the Trump administration hallmarks was this idea of “the enemy,” and his language and energy were often about "us or them.”
Rage is a culmination of unexpressed anger, hopelessness, and invisibility.
Many men in our country lack the relational and communication skills needed to break out of the “man box.”
When it comes to raising our children, we need to be mindful of our internal dialog and catch ourselves as parents when we find ourselves triggered by our own unresolved “stuff.”
We need to ask ourselves if we are modeling healthy behavior for our children regarding the full range of human emotion. We need to recognize that the language we have to raise boys falls short and creates an environment for rage.

February 17, 2021Episode 62: Dr. Dain Heer - No Judgment
No Judgment.
Even the title of this episode makes me breathe easy.
I loved my conversation with Dain and gained so much insight and enjoyment from listening to him talk. He spoke about the power of non-judgment and why it is vital to our wellbeing to clear judgment from our energetic centers so that we can stop suppressing our true nature and live a life of allowance. In this episode, he teaches us to uncreate the realities that no longer serve us. That all of the projections, expectations, separations, and rejections placed on us by ourselves or by anybody else keep us from being as weird and different as we are. He encourages us to let that go and create something new by accessing our conscious awareness. I have no doubt you will gain deep awareness just by listening to this episode.
Meet Dr. Dain Heer:
Dr. Dain Heer is an internationally renowned author, speaker, and facilitator of consciousness and change. For over 20 years, he has been inviting people to embrace their true greatness—people from every culture, country, age, and social strata.
In his talks and workshops, he uses a unique set of tools and provides step-by-step energetic processes to get people out of the answers, conclusions, and judgments that are keeping them stuck in a cycle of no choice and no change – leading them into the moments of awe that have the power to change anything.
For Dain, judgment is the biggest killer on the planet, especially the judgment of ourselves. Based on his own life experience, he asks, “what if we could get out of the wrongness of ourselves and see every wrongness, the places where we judge ourselves the most, as a strength? What would be possible then?”
Show Notes:
One of the most seductive things in the world is when someone sees you with no judgment. And we keep looking for that from the outside world or hoping for it and very seldom receiving it. And yet we never looked to how can I be that person for myself?
Symptoms of the trance of unworthiness, perfectionism, and self-loathing are all based on judgment.
We live in a world where parents are taught that the right way to be a parent is to teach their kids to judge. The idea is to teach them to judge right from wrong and good from bad.
We've gotten away from asking questions. When we were kids with such curiosity about the world, most of us were made to feel wrong for asking way too many questions.
A definition for consciousness: “where everything and everyone exists, and no one and nothing is judged."
Access Consciousness is available in over 183 countries, and they have about 700 facilitators worldwide.
People are depressed, confused, overwhelmed, and don’t know how to ask the questions that get them started on their own journey. Teen Incidence of suicide is skyrocketing worldwide.
Beginning to function from a state of allowance will ease the suffering of many, many people.
People are either seekers: growth aware, or non-seeking: growth averse.
Laughter truly is the best medicine.

February 10, 2021Episode 61: Vironika Wilde - LOVE & Gaslight
Vironika Wilde is a poet, spoken word artist, award-winning author, nomad, feminist, cat fanatic, and activist.
More than a poetry book, Love and Gaslight is a story. Divided into five chapters, it sparks with one woman's decision to leave an unhappy relationship. Her choice begins a painful unraveling. Poem by poem, she searches for lost innocence and unpalatable truth.
Veronika is also a sexual assault survivor reclaiming her body. She is an immigrant climbing into the home-sized hole in her heart. She is an adult comforting her inner child. She is a woman questioning the social conditioning that governs her freedom.
Love and Gaslight is raw, political, and transgressive. It's edgy, feminist, and relevant. Most importantly, it's honest. You will feel it. Whether it makes you feel sad, glad, or attacked, it will also make you feel brave enough to speak your truth.
Show Notes:
Poetry can reveal truth and heal trauma. Vironika has been writing poetry since she was a child and after publishing two self-help books, she decided to dive more deeply into her poetry.
As a woman, your healing process comes up for you each month when you have your period. So once a month, when you're on the progesterone part of your cycle, it comes back and it gives you an opportunity to process whatever it is that hasn't been processed.
Toxic relationships are crazy making.
Vironika realized that she and her partner were recreating childhood traumas with each other. He was casting her into this role of his mother, and she was casting him into this role of her father, which tends to repeat itself over and over again until you learn to heal your inner child.
Vironika came from the former Soviet Union to Canada with her parents as immigrants.
Vironika had to learn to empty herself in her friendships with others in ways that would not re-traumatize herself.
It’s really important to find a friend that can hold space for you.
In the former Soviet Union there is a big culture of repression, so much so that many people have throat issues and thyroid issues that have to do with voice suppression.
Sometimes we are doing the right thing but with the wrong person.
Love and Gaslight is a collection of poems that share the process of healing.

February 03, 2021Episode 60: Sandra Payne - Nurse Rx
Join us for this revealing conversation as Sandra Payne and I discuss our healthcare workers' well-being, especially our nurses.
Sandra Payne is a Registered Nurse and the owner of Sandra Payne Holistic Wellness Coaching. She is also the founder of the Nurse Rx Coaching Program. To overcome her own struggle with burnout, depression, and anxiety, Sandra used a truly holistic healing approach that she refers to as her “Journey through the Canyon of Hope." She felt a passionate fire to guide other women on their own canyon journeys through coaching and healing, so she created the Nurse RX Program in which nurses learn and practice a host of skills and exercises to manage their own mental and emotional exhaustion through the combination of individual coaching and a powerful sisterhood of connection & support.
Show Notes:
Before COVID, Sandra recognized that our essential workers, especially our nurses, are part of an unsustainable system that almost guarantees their burnout.
Sandra has endured the struggle of anxiety and depression that’s so common with nurses.
The root causes of her anxiety and depression stem from undue pressure on herself to continue being of service when she was already at max capacity.
Burnout and the overwhelming demands of women are leading us down a path to mental and emotional overwhelm.
Sandra takes nurses through different stages of awareness and healing through what she calls “The Canyon of Hope.”
Burnout is incredibly common for our essential workers and nurses. Ironically, a large percentage of nurses end up in a state of illness or chronic fatigue due to the way the medical and health care system operates.
Sandra catalogs the risk of not addressing the signs and symptoms of burnout.
What's the risk to us if we don't address our signs and symptoms early?
Sandra encourages women to find a support system or coaching circle of women to receive support and help.

January 27, 2021Episode 59: Kat Miller - The Portal of Aging
As we age, we understand what age discrimination (also known as ageism) is all about.
People face ageism and other intersecting forms of discrimination in many ways in our society. Women, by and large, are disproportionately impacted by ageism. From a young age, we are conditioned to believe that our value is tied to our youthful appearance and “marketability." As a result, the beauty and fashion industry perpetuate a narrative that keeps women in “the trance” of unworthiness.
Policies and services must be adapted to reflect our changing population structures to ensure that everyone, young and old, has equitable access to services and entitlements. Yet, this is only part of the tragedy of the ageism story.
Meet Kat Miller. Kat has an MA in spiritual psychology. For the past 35 years, she’s been counseling, teaching, and consulting. Her passion is using aging as a catalyst to breaking free from cultural conditioning and discovering truth and wisdom through our own direct experience. Kat also uses the medium of photography to express the inherent beauty of aging and impermanence.
Show Notes:
Aging is a positive, natural, and beautiful process, but we’ve been enculturated to think otherwise.
Ageism happens when people face stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination based on their age.
Because of ageism, older people are excluded from jobs and social services.
It also increasingly underpins human rights violations such as elder abuse and financial exploitation. In many ways, ageism is the last socially accepted form of discrimination.
People that are aging are generally slowing down, and in our society, that is almost taboo. In terms of enjoyment of life, however, it’s actually a very positive thing.
As we get older, physiologically and emotionally, we are slowing down because and not quite so involved with performance anxiety that we've had throughout our younger years, which is very liberating.
There’s no such thing as good or bad when it comes to aging. We tend to hold others to a measurement based on whether they are “aging well” because they can still do yoga at age 102, and then we idolize that as somehow ideal or a “good” version of aging.
“Wow, you look amazing for your age" is an excellent example of ageism.
Ageism is like the last frontier of social change that’s truly got to shift if we want to change how we live our lives and love ourselves well.
Men are often considered “handsome” and sexually desirable well into their 50s, 60s, and 70s and are still considered for lead roles in movies. This is not so for women.
The U curve of happiness is a metric of how we start our lives happy and carefree, and in our 20s, 30s, and 40s, we become less so, but then into our 50’s and up the curve trends upward again.
