In this episode, we dive headfirst into the chaotic pool of motherhood—spoiler alert: it's nothing like the brochure. We chat about the fine line between making sacrifices and simply making choices.

    • The balance between real-world actions and authentic self-expression

    "If we don't bring it back down to planet earth, what are we doing? We're on earth for a reason."

    Show Notes

    Hello, Beautiful souls; Monica & Kim are here to guide you through a whirlwind episode that's both a reflection and a sassy punch in the gut. Today, we're tearing down the facade of hustle culture and wading into the calm (or chaos?) of feminine energy. Ever wondered what happens when the world stops and makes you confront your own energy? Buckle up, because we’re diving into how COVID threw us all into the deep end of our feminine sides—like it or not.

    And as if that’s not enough, we're also dissecting the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of social media. Think it’s just about pretty pictures and clever captions? Think again. We’re peeling back layers of strategy, empowerment, and the often overlooked importance of showing up as your raw, real self.

    Don’t even get us started on the eclipse madness and why sometimes, stepping away from the online echo chamber is the healthiest move. We're bringing everything back to earth because, let’s face it, that’s where the real magic happens. From the allure of retreats in Hawaii to the harsh realities of coaching ethics, we’re sparing no details.

    So, grab your tea, or something stronger (we won’t judge), and let’s get into the messy, beautiful reality of living consciously in a world that often feels anything but.

    "We are only serving our most empowered client."

    Political Identity & Media Bias: The Reality of Science and Politics with Abigail White Part Two
    Jun 24 2024
    "Now science is not about asking a question and trying to prove that question wrong. Now it's saying, this is what I believe. And now it's about creating an experiment that's going to make that true." Topics Discussed The Intersection of Personal Experience and Politics: Monica discusses how personal circumstances, such as her husband’s military service, drew her into the political arena and influenced her views.Media Bias and Public Perception: An exploration of how different media outlets, including those perceived as liberal, can propagate biases similar to their conservative counterparts.The Evolution and Integrity of Science: Monica shares her concerns about the current state of scientific research and methodology, contrasting past and present practices in the scientific community.Identity and Cultural Dynamics: A deep dive into how racial and biracial identities are navigated and perceived in society, including the personal impacts on Monica’s life.Change as a Catalyst for Personal Development: Insights into how discomfort and life challenges, such as fertility issues, can force introspection and significant personal growth.Historical and Contemporary Political Climate: Reflections on the shifts in political discourse and leadership from past presidents to current figures, and their effects on societal norms.Economic Perspectives within Minority Communities: Monica discusses the capitalist tendencies and economic preferences within different cultural groups, challenging stereotypes about political and economic alignments.

Today's podcast was a whirlwind tour through some of the most provocative and relevant topics affecting our lives today.

  • Is There a Possibility for a Third Party to Win the Election in the USA? with Abigail White Part One

    Is There a Possibility for a Third Party to Win the Election in the USA? with Abigail White Part One
    Jun 17 2024
    "The best path I see for reaching a space where we're no longer beholden to people three times our age comes from the young voters taking a stand and doing so consistently." Topics Discussed: Impact of Social Media on Perception: Monica discusses the often exaggerated reactions on social media to natural events like eclipses and how stepping away can provide clarity and reduce anxiety. Mindset of Abundance vs. Scarcity: Exploring how the lens through which we view our lives—either as abundant or constrained by external forces—shapes our daily experiences and choices. Financial Independence and Economic Inequality: Insights into achieving financial security regardless of broader economic conditions, and how some individuals leverage natural cycles like new moons to foster personal and financial growth. Political Disillusionment and Systemic Change: A deep dive into the frustration with political systems, the ineffectiveness of expecting a single leader to bring about change, and the reality of governmental structures. Cultural Influence on Politics: The conversation touches on how American culture's fascination with superheroes influences unrealistic expectations of political leaders. Comparative Political Systems: Monica shares her experiences living in the UK, discussing the differences in political engagement and accountability between the UK and the US. Role of the Judiciary in Democracy: Discussion on the significant impact of the Supreme Court and lifetime judicial appointments on American laws and daily life. Youth Engagement in Politics: Encouraging young voters to consistently engage in political processes, emphasizing that even small actions can lead to significant societal shifts. Efficacy of the Two-Party System: A critical look at the limitations of the two-party system in the US, the potential for third-party candidates, and the importance of broadening political awareness beyond mainstream choices. Media and Political Narratives: Analysis of how media biases and misinformation can shape public perception of political figures and issues, stressing the importance of fact-checking and independent research. "I look around and I see their bias, their bigotry, their hate and their prejudice, and I'm over that." Move the conversation forward on SM: https://www.instagram.com/monicacox.choices/ https://www.facebook.com/alisa.cox.39 Connect with Abigail on IG: https://www.instagram.com/breathoflife_healer/ "You cannot deny that it's not really the politicians we elect who run the system; it's the big corporations backing them. We're just voting in a face, not actual change." Hello, beautiful souls! In today's episode we kicked things off with a lighthearted laugh about the chaos that sometimes surrounds eclipse seasons—yes, they happen every year, and no, they aren’t the end of the world. I shared how stepping back from social media helped me stay grounded amidst the hype. Then, we shifted gears to a more introspective discussion about abundance and scarcity. How do you view your life? Are you driven by external circumstances or do you shape your own destiny? It's all about embracing personal responsibility and choosing happiness every single day. As the conversation flowed, politics took center stage. We unpacked the disillusionment many feel with the political system, the ineffectiveness of believing in a 'crystal dust'-sprinkling superhero, and the sobering reminder that high school government classes might have been more useful than we thought. We questioned the superhero mentality that so many Americans fall for, expecting one person to fix all. I shared insights from my time living in the UK, highlighting the stark differences in political engagement and system accountability. The chat got real as we discussed the charismatic yet challenging realities of leaders like Obama and the systemic constraints they face. We also tackled the critical role of the Supreme Court and how lifetime appointments can shape our laws in profound ways—Roe v. Wade being a poignant example. This led to a broader discussion about the power of young voters and the importance of integrity in politics. The younger generation needs to believe their actions matter—because they truly do. Towards the end, the conversation turned to the importance of understanding what different political parties stand for, not just during election times but as part of a more informed and continuous engagement with our democratic system. We wrapped up with a call to action for all of us to not only participate more actively in our democracy but also to support diverse voices in the political arena. It's about making informed choices, not just once every four years, but every day. Thanks for joining this raw and honest conversation. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries and shaping a world where our choices really do lead to change. Stay tuned, stay engaged, and let’s make those choices count! Timestamps: 02:00 -...

    We’re here learning and growing alongside you as we move the conversation forward together from the BS that’s crushing authentic voices and keeping many in a loop of self-destruction. We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward? Alos, anything written or said about diet and mental health are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, therapist, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional.
