#12: Ask Monique: You’ve Done Everything “Right” But It’s Still Not Working? Let’s Talk Decision-Making

There are moments in life when you’re doing all the “right” things — you’re showing up, you followed the plan, you played by the rules — and somehow, it’s still not working. It’s frustrating. It’s heartbreaking. And it can leave you questioning everything. 

In this episode, I’m opening up about those exact moments — the ones that test your patience, your plans, and your belief in what’s possible. We’ll also explore what it really takes to make decisions when clarity feels far away, and you’re craving direction but getting silence. Whether it’s showing up in your business, your relationships, or the quiet corners of your own self-worth, this episode is about loosening your grip, reimagining outcomes, and remembering that you are enough, no matter what the results say. Let’s dive in!
