Why do strong caregivers feel guilty taking care of themselves, even when the people they love are safe and cared for?

If you're caring for an aging parent, managing family responsibilities, and trying to make time for your own life, you know how hard it can be to do something for yourself without feeling selfish.

I'm Moniqu...

The first time I told my story publicly, I told the cute version.

I had been fired from a temporary job by a boss who didn't even show up to do it himself. He sent someone else who yelled at me through the whole thing. I sat in the car after and realized something I couldn't unsee. The table was never built for me anyway.

But when I posted about it the first time, I said I left.

Because I was embarrassed. I didn't want to look bad. So I cleaned the story...

In a single quarter of 2025, over 300,000 Black women exited the labor force. Black women are now the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in America. The corporate exodus isn't a trend, sis. It's a movement.

And if you're sitting at your corporate desk right now wondering if it's too late to build something of your own, this episode is the answer to the question you've been afraid to ask out loud.

But here's the part nobody's telling you. There's a specific order to leaving corporate and starting a coaching business that actually works. And most women...

You did everything right. You showed up early. You stayed late. You did the work. You kept your head down. You survived every room that told you to be less so everyone else could feel like more.

And somewhere along the way you learned something that nobody taught you out loud. Make yourself smaller. Soften your voice. Smile when you are not happy. Stay quiet when you have the answer. Shrink.

And here is what nobody told you when you finally walked out of that building. You took the shrinking with you.

In...

Over a year ago my mother lost the ability to walk. I had already left my corporate job to coach full time. There was no going back. No safety net. No plan B. Just me, my mom who needed me around the clock, and a coaching business that needed me to show up.

And in the middle of the hardest season of my life I heard God ask me something that stopped me cold.

Who do I say you are? Do you trust Me?

That question sent me down a rabbit hole I...

Let me ask you something before you hit play.

What does your LinkedIn headline say right now?

If it says something like "helping women live their best life" or "Christian entrepreneur passionate about purpose" or "empowering women to reach their full potential," sis, we need to talk. Because that headline is talking to everybody and reaching nobody. And until that changes, the algorithm is not your problem. Your vagueness is.

In this episode I am getting into something most coaches will not say out loud. Your niche problem is actually a courage problem...

I want to tell you about the day a man yelled "don't get upset" at me while I was sitting completely calm asking straightforward questions in a soft voice about my own termination.

I was not upset. I was composed. I was professional. And none of it mattered because he had already decided who I was before I opened my mouth.

And that was the moment it clicked. There was nothing I could say or do to change how he saw me. So I walked out of that building and said something to myself that...

I have four coaching certifications. A health coaching certification from IIN and a stress management certification (and a couple other ones) I got because I was convinced I needed more credentials before I could really help people.

And then I had a client session that changed everything I thought I knew about what actually qualifies you to coach.

She did not want to hear about the different types of stress. She did not care about the clinical frameworks or the terminology I had just spent thousands of dollars learning. She wanted to feel like a...

For years I asked my church to build a website. I was a licensed minister in the AME Church and I could see exactly what was coming. I even learned how to build websites myself so I could offer to do it for free. And they said no every single time.

Until 2020 hit and left them no choice.

In this episode I am telling that full story for the first time. What it looked like when the churches that called the internet the devil suddenly needed the internet to survive. What happened when I stopped...

You built the website. You ran the ads. You networked at church. You posted consistently. And you still don't have clients.

In this episode, Monique breaks down exactly why heavy effort without strategy keeps talented, faith-led women stuck, and why that has nothing to do with your calling, your age, or your faith.

You'll learn the difference between Productivity Theater and actual client acquisition, why the Meritocracy Fallacy is quietly killing coaching businesses, and the one reframe that will change how you approach your business starting today.

If you have been sitting on your coaching calling because you do not feel qualified enough to charge for it, this episode was made specifically for you.

In this episode I am breaking down the real science behind why so many qualified Christian women over 40 still feel like frauds when it comes to launching their coaching businesses. Not the surface level explanation you have already heard. The actual psychology underneath it, what your brain is doing, why it hits hardest during transitions, and what you can do right now to change it.

Here is what...

I owe you an explanation for where I've been. And honestly, I think my explanation might be exactly what you needed to hear today.

Over a year ago, my mom was misdiagnosed at a hospital. She spent several weeks hospitalized. When she came home, she couldn't walk. She still hasn't taken a step. And in the middle of that season, I had to figure out something nobody prepares you for: how do you keep showing up for the women God called you to serve when your family needs everything you have?

The honest answer is...

They wanted me to risk my high-risk mother's life during a pandemic. Then they retaliated when I spoke up about a broken system. Then they tried to write me up for things that happened while I was on approved leave. Here's the REAL story of how corporate showed me exactly who they are - twice - and why I finally walked away.

The biggest regret? I stayed longer than I should have because I didn't have a financial exit plan. Don't make the same mistake.

After 20+ years in corporate as a District Sales Manager and HR professional, I finally said "enough" to being overlooked and underpaid. Here's the REAL story of why I left corporate to build a coaching ministry for women like me - women over 40 who know they're meant for more but don't know where to start.

Sis… if one more person tells you to “bloom where you’re planted” when you know God’s calling you to more — whew, we need to talk. 😤

This popular Pinterest quote sounds inspiring, but it’s keeping too many Christian women stuck where God never told them to stay. In this episode, I’m breaking down why “bloom where you’re planted” isn’t biblical, how it’s been used to guilt ambitious women out of their callings, and what Scripture actually teaches about moving when God says move.

If you’ve been told to “just be content” while something...

Sis, if you're sitting in another pointless corporate meeting wondering "Is God trying to tell me something?" - this episode is YOUR answer.

That restlessness you're feeling? That Sunday night dread? That sense you're meant for more? It might not be burnout - it could be God's GPS trying to redirect your life.

If you've been telling yourself "I should be grateful for this job" while your soul feels dead inside, this episode will help you discern whether what you're experiencing is divine direction or just a rough patch.

...

Sis, if you're spending 40-plus hours a week using maybe 20% of who God created you to be, this episode is your wake-up call.

After 22 years in corporate, I learned the hard truth: every promotion was just another shovel of dirt on my God-given gifts. And if you're a professional woman over 40 feeling like there's got to be more than quarterly projections and stakeholder reports, you're absolutely right.

Today I'm sharing why that Roman philosopher Seneca was spot-on about how we waste our lives, how corporate America turned you into a professional gift-hider without you even...

Sis, are you staring down 52 wondering if you're "too old" to give coaching a real shot? Let's stop for a second and get some perspective here.

Failure isn't the monster your mind makes it out to be. In fact, trying and stumbling is part of the process — and it teaches you invaluable lessons that you can't get any other way. And contrary to the myth that coaching itself is some magical "business," it's actually a skill you pair with your expertise to solve specific problems.

If you're worried this is your "last shot" and you do...
