It’s not about what you want in the moment; it’s about what you want most.

Topics Discussed

  • Type A burnout in motherhood
  • Nervous system regulation for moms
  • Balancing health priorities with real connection
  • Letting go of perfectionism in parenting
  • Faith, intuition, and holistic wellness
  • Navigating subconscious beliefs and cultural conditioning

You have to trust yourself, and most people don’t because they look at their life and think they’ve failed.

Hello Beautiful, Monica here, and I’m about to get real with you on a topic that’s way too easy to gloss over—how motherhood can feel soul-suckingly mundane when you’re wired as a high-achiever. We’re talking cleaning the same damn high chair for the fifteenth time and wondering why your nervous system is screaming for a project plan instead of playtime.

We dive deep into how our values can either anchor us or drive us into perfectionist overdrive, especially when it comes to our kids’ health. Melisha explains the trap of putting “perfect” above connection, the guilt that comes from letting go, and why sometimes the Gatorade from the sports snack bag is exactly the right call. It’s about radical honesty, grace for the slow process, and remembering that consistent, sustainable change beats all-or-nothing sprints every time.

You’ll hear raw stories about unpacking subconscious beliefs from childhood, faith’s role in keeping your values steady, and how to stand in your own discernment when the cultural noise around you is deafening. If you’re ready for a conversation that’s equal parts loving nudge and truth bomb, press play now.

Healing isn’t glamorous. It’s showing up for yourself in the mundane, over and over again.
