Some of you are still carrying a moment that’s already over.

You know how you can wake up from a bad dream, heart racing, full panic and seconds later move on with your day?

But when real life brings one awkward conversation, one rejection, or one mistake… it can feel like the nightmare never ended.

In this episode of MON, we talk about why moments that have passed can still feel present, how they quietly shape identity, and what it looks like to wake up emotionally when your life has already moved forward. Because it was a moment. And your story is still being written.
